Mods to Morley Bad Horsie Wahs

[Marksman]

Hey guys, just thought I'd like to ask if anyone has had heard of any mods done to this pedal before? Aside from the trim pot inside the pedal that adjusts the delay that is... Cheerios~

What is it about the pedal that you don't like? What would you prefer it to do?

OoT - I had an older Bad Horsie... I rem it was the 2nd pedal purchase after I bought the much-coveted-every-noob-must-buy DS-1... and I remember a/b-ing it with a newer model. The newer ones couldn't get as short a disconnect/delay time as the old one.

Overall I'm fine with the performance of it, but I just want to know if there exists any mods to improve on it by any means... =)

Well, I have read of mods but memory fails me here. It was like what... 5 years back? 7? When I looked it up online.

I'm sure there are things that could be improved - a reputable, knowledgeable and tone-concerned tech can help you with this. It IS still a wah.

What do you mean? The time it takes from when you take your foot off the pedal until the wah effect turns itself off? It's about 1 second I think on the BH. Isn't there a trim pot or something inside? Do you prefer it instant?

Yeah that heel-off-shut-off-time, adjustable via the internal trim pot.

The newer ones couldn't get as instant as the old one...

But hey, minor point and I'm sure the trim pot could be replaced to one that would give me the exact timing of 0.231 seconds. Hehehe.
