Morley ABC BOX (ABC) User Manual
Morley Musical Instruments
THANK YOU!
For purchasing a Morley pedal.
Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with
the feature of your new pedal. With common sense
handling, it should last for years. We know you will
appreciate the rugged construction of your Morley.
Most of all, we hope you enjoy it as much as we
enjoyed building it.
OPERATION
The ABC switch can take one signal (such as a single
guitar) and split it to your choice of three outputs - A,
B or C (see Example 1). It can also take three signals
(such as three guitars) and route them to one amp
allowing you to switch to either of the three (see
Example 2). LED indicators show which signal is
engaged at all times. NOTE: A cord must be plugged
into A in order to engage the unit.
The ABC box has two switches. The first switch
engages A or either B or C depending on which you
had previously engaged. The second switch chooses
between B or C. When The A signal is engaged, the
LED on the B/C side stays lit at lower illumination to
serve as a reminder to which side (B or C) will be on
when A is disengaged.
CONNECTIONS
Example #1 shows a setup in which three output
signals are used (two amps and a tuner can be
chosen). A would be amp #1, B would be amp #2 and
C would be a tuner.
EXAMPLE #1
Example #2 shows three guitars hooked up to one
amp. This would allow for quick changeovers of
multiple guitars.
EXAMPLE #2
You’ll notice that cords fit tightly into the ¼” jacks.
The tight fit helps cords from becoming accidentally
unplugged from the pedal. To avoid poor
performance, make sure cords are completely plugged
into the input and output jacks.
BATTERY
The ABC is designed to use one 9 volt battery. We
suggest you use a good quality alkaline battery. The
unit will function without a battery although the
LED’s will not function unless a 9 volt battery is
installed.
Your pedal is designed for long battery life. To
prolong battery life, unplug your cord completely
from “A” jack when not using the pedal. When the
pedal is not used for extended periods, we recommend
you remove the battery from the pedal or replace it
every six month to prevent leakage problems.
