Imagine being able to coax multiple tones out of your 1-channel amp. Better yet, imagine being able to coax multiple footswitchable tones out of your 1-channel amp. Well, if you have the Morley Volume Commander on your pedalboard, you can do that and more. This revolutionary stompbox boasts two footswitchable channels, each with a full-sweep volume knob, a 2-position Tone switch, and a 3-stage Low Cut switch, enabling you to dial in two completely separate tonal combinations that you can deploy with a tap of your foot. Moreover, you can activate both channels simultaneously for a mind-bending third sound. The Volume Commander sports true-bypass switching, per-channel LED indicators, and an ultra-rugged cold-rolled steel enclosure. The Morley Volume Commander will summon new tones from your existing amplifier, plus you can also use it to breathe new life into your instruments, pedals, and studio gear.

Your guitar's volume knob on steroids





Experienced players know they can milk drastically different tones out of their 1-channel amplifier by manipulating the volume control on their guitar. That's essentially what the Morley Volume Commander does. Each of its two channels includes a full-sweep volume knob that ranges from zero to unity gain, enabling you to dial in clean and crunch tones from a fully overdriven amplifier without lowering its gain ? call it an underdrive, if you will. On top of that, you can activate both of the Volume Commander's channels simultaneously for a third sound. In essence, you can create a 4-channel amplifier out of a 1-channel amp.





Powerful tone-shaping controls





Each of the Morley Volume Commander's two channels includes a 2-position Tone switch with Bright/Warm options and a 3-stage Low Cut switch with None/Fine/Deep options. Here at Sweetwater, we've used these to add a warm-sounding crunch channel and a bright, crystalline clean channel to our already overdriven amplifiers. The Volume Commander is just what you need to unlock the full potential of your single-volume-knob, single-tone-knob boutique-style tube amp. It's also a great way to breathe life into dull-sounding instruments and add tonal options to dirt boxes with simple (or without any) tone controls.
