CONGRATULATIONS

You now own one of the finest musical pedals made. To insure
your satisfaction, please take a few moments to read this
booklet which will point up features of the product that may
be new to you. Above all, we hope you enjoy your new "Morley"
as much as we enjoyed building it for you.

GENERAL INFORMATION

This Morley pedal controls electrical signals with (LED) light
sources and electro-optical resistors which do not wear or
make mechanical or electrical noise. They last for many, many
years with no maintenance.

The power source for the pedal is either battery or AC line
operated adapter, whichever is more convenient. The BF uses
two nine volt batteries. This is especially useful for
traveling musicians who encounter line noises, varying
voltages and power conditions in different parts of the world.
The line adapter is available in 120 and 240 volt models and
delivers power to the Morley at 12 to 16 volts DC negative
ground. Hhen the adapter is plugged in, the batteries are
automatically disconnected.

Power is turned off by removing the plug from the adapter
socket and/or the input plug from the instrument socket.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

l - Connect the musical instrument to the pedal by plugging
one end of a shielded cable to the instrument and the
otger to the jack labeled instrument" on the side of the
pe a .

2 - Use another shielded cable between the jack marked "amp-
lifier" and the input of your music amplifier.

3 - Set the controls on your instrument and your amplifier
to their usual settings.

3 - Note: The BFH generates four effects: volume. wah,
fuzz and fuzz wah combined.

USING THE FUZZ HAH

1 - A footswitch on the left side of your BFH is used to
switch to either the wah or the volume function.
Hhen the volume mode is used. the indicator lamp (LED)
is off.

2 - The footswitch on the right side turns on the fuzz.
The control knob increases the amount of fuzz. The
pedal increases its loudness. For superb rock and rol'
effects, use the fuzz and wah combined.

3 - In the wah mode, with the fuzz off. musical sounds
are varied with pedal movement. The highs are peaked
in the toe down position, the bass in the heel down
position. The smooth change that occurs with the
pedal movement creates the wah effect. By experi-
menting, many musicians have found that the wah pedal,
when set in one position. can make an unusual tone
effect that cannot be matched with amplifier tone
controls. Use the low end for jazz or blues, while
setting the middle range for rock, and use the upper
range for "little amp" sound with screaming highs
which is perfect for rock lead.

Sim-NOTE

You may hear no soundswith heel down if you are playing
in the upper frequencies. Move the pedal so that you
are modulating the range of frequencies you are playing
in.

We highly recommend the use of alkaline type batteries.
Their much longer life makes them more economical than
other types. In addition, they are unlikely to leak
damaging chemicals.

'Use of the adapter eliminates battery expense.
