The Morley 20/20 Lead Wah Boost is a clever little unit, especially if you're into that soaring, expressive lead tone. It's fantastic for players who want a dynamic wah without the fuss of a foot switch, and the boost is genuinely useful for cutting through a mix. A great choice for rock, blues, and even some modern styles where you want a vocal-like quality to your lead lines.
