MOTM

Those Morely pedals are really great.  I have a 22 year old Morely SVOL that I need
to bring back from the dead one of these days.  It probably just needs a new bulb. 
I've even used the SVOL to attenuate control voltages.  It works just like a pot. 
For an emusic class in college I used a Moog ribbon controller like a fretless bass
guitar, with the SVOL controling the VCF cutoff - fun stuff!
