“A growly tone that no other pedal has": Robert Trujillo’s son, Tye, dips into the signature stompbox world for the first time with a pedal that combines wah, drive and distortion

Robert Trujillo’s son, Tye Trujillo, is following in his father’s footsteps in cementing the family’s bass legacy with his recent team-up with Morley Pedals on his signature TruDrive wah pedal.

The younger Trujillo – who plays in thrash, funk and metal three-piece OTTTO –wanted a switchless wah that had a built-in “Always On” drive as an inextricable part of the wah. As its makers aptly put it, “The wah was designed to have a slight amount of drive built into the front end, which already gives the wah more presence and bite.”
