Damonjames Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Hey all, I have just seen that Morley have released a Cliff Burton signature Power Fuzz Wah. Looks like they have tried to copy the sound of the original tel ray one used by Cliff but put it in the new modern chassis and 9v battery or dc supply. No clips on how it actually sounds yet, but am interested to see how authentic it sounds!!! Quote
dudewheresmybass Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Some talk about it here. A couple of videos too 😉 http://basschat.co.uk/topic/252374-for-the-cliff-em-all-ers-here/page__pid__2662583#entry2662583 Quote
Left Foot Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I know there's loads of other examples of this happening but I'm kinda against new products having dead peoples names to them. Surely the manufacturer could just dine out on the prestige of being used by Burton had he actually used this and not a muff as main fuzz ..? But this pedal just seems a bad product with a dead persons name to it, bit cheap all over? IDK - has anyone brought / tried it? reviews? Quote
redbandit599 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I personally don't care who's name is scrawled on stuff, just interested if it sounds any good. Cheap, bad products with a dead persons name on? Never stopped Fender . Quote

dudewheresmybass Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Still waiting to try one Irl. If it sounds like the vids, I'll be happy Quote
fretmeister Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Anyone got one? I'm quite tempted to get one. Quote
fretmeister Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Looks like I'll have to take one for the team! Ordered. Quote
redbandit599 Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Good man! I'd forgotten about this, will be interested to hear what you think. Quote
fretmeister Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Just got the shipping confirmation. Expected between 3 to 8 days from Germany. Time to get my larger board out again and start planning the layout from scratch. Quote
bartelby Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 I watched Cliff 'Em All the other day, for the first time in many many years. The whole thing is on YouTube. Cliff really was the talented one of the band. His solos were great! Quote
fretmeister Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 He was great. I often wonder how the newer stuff would have sounded with him - or whether the new stuff would have been written at all. Quote

I also wonder what he'd have made of the whole Napster thing. I reckon he'd have just kicked Lars' arse and told him to pipe down. Quote
bartelby Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) [quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1431535566' post='2772359'] It has arrived. Will try it later! [/quote] and post with sound clips/video/photos? Edited May 13, 2015 by bartelby Quote
fretmeister Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 iPhone cam is the best I have. But I'll see what I can do. Quote
fretmeister Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 I've given it a couple of hours use. It's mental. It is not a bass wah in the traditional sense (although it is excellent on guitar) in that the sweep isn't low enough. The pedal is all about getting that Burton filthy wah cutting tone. And it does that very well indeed. The fuzz is nasty in a glorious way and the output levels are frankly stupid. I set up my B7K as a tuby chunky sound (a nod t the Mesa 400+ Cliff used to use a lot) and then hit it with the wah. Instant "Bells" tone. About an hour later I noticed I was still playing that intro over and over again!! So - overall as a quacky funky bass wah - not great, in fact a bit sh*t. As a merchant of cutting filth - utterly glorious. It's already velcro'd and on my board. Quote

Can't fit my whammy on now, but that can go on the floor. Quote
