I owned this pedal for about two weeks before returning it. I wanted to use the distortion and volume portion and have a bonus wah built in, but it turns out it's the opposite. I would buy another Morley wah without the distortion and a separate distortion pedal.
Sound
The wah on this pedal sounds amazing. Very responsive and smooth. Volume pedal works great too. The distortion, however, seems like an afterthought. It's not a true distortion. It doesn't completely cover the sound of the guitar, you can't put any even overdrive it to get a different tone. It kind of sounds cool on an acoustic since you get the acoustic sound with a little distortion on top.
Features
The fact that this is three pedals in one really drew me in.
Ease of Use
The layout of the pedal is aweful if you're playing live. The stomp buttons are too close to the wah pedal. If you're not careful you will mute your guitar when switching in and out of wah/distortion.
Quality
It's all metal, very solid construction.
Value
Three pedals in one makes it a great deal.
