PRESS RELEASE:
STEVE VAI AND MORLEY INTRODUCE A VOLUME PEDAL TO VAI FOR
Steve Vai and Morley have done it again! First, they teamed up to make the world’s #1 switchless wah pedal, the Bad Horsie. Now they’re doing for volume what they did for wah by introducing the Little Alligator Volume Pedal! Designed to be rugged and meet Steve’s demanding specifications, the Little Alligator is housed in a heavy-duty metal chassis. The Little Alligator is equipped with Morley’s studio-silent Electro-Optical circuitry to ensure noise free, dependable operation. The consistently smooth audio taper is set to Steve’s painstaking specifications. Minimum Volume knob allows smooth transition between rhythm and lead volumes. Equipped with easy access battery compartment, gator green LED indicator and Morley’s standard two-year warranty. Turn it up! Suggested Retail Price is $139. Scheduled for release January 2001. Visit www.morleypedals.com for more details.

Stay tuned for an announcement soon. I’ve got three very cool packages from Morley, including the Little Alligator volume pedal, the Bad Horsie wah pedal, a Steve Vai CD called “Bad Squad” that’s a super-rare Morley-exclusive promotional CD (with music available nowhere else), and other Morley fun to give away. Details soon!
