The Morley Diamond Distortion is a distortion pedal that uses an optical switching mechanism, a hallmark of Morley's design, which eliminates the need for a traditional mechanical footswitch. Its distortion circuit is voiced to produce a saturated, high-gain tone, with the pedal's internal circuitry shaping the harmonic content and compression of the signal. The pedal is powered via an external power supply, as it does not rely on battery operation due to the optical switching's power requirements. The Diamond Distortion's effect is engaged by stepping on the pedal's treadle, which activates the optical sensor, providing a smooth and silent transition between bypass and effect states. The distortion character is fixed, with no onboard tone or level controls, meaning the pedal's output is designed to interact with the amplifier's preamp to shape the final sound.
