Mark, the Morley design is nice electronically - I've had one apart 
before.  The Ernie Ball is just a passive device, but it is pretty 
tolerant 
of cat hair and carpet lint - even beer.  You could probably load the guts 
of a Morley into an EB body and have a pretty dope pedal.  Better yet, a 
hall effect sensor like Rane uses in its DJ mixers would be cool.
