Just got my new RM Vision Wah. Obviously too soon to judge about the sound quality and sonic potential but I can say without a doubt that this is the most comfortable and ergonomic wah pedal ever.
Its built to be a little under an inch off the floor which right there makes its way more comfortable to use as your not so off balance.
The pedal actually ends with a touch of a downward angle and starts at a much less steep angle so its a very natural movement for your foot. The typical crybaby style design requires you to lift your foot so at the bass end which can get a bit uncomfortable and requires a bit more effort. It basically feel like your keeping your heel on the floor and just moving your toes.
The treadle itself is constructed of carbon fibre and its perfectly balanced in any position with no resistance (thought you can dial some in if you want) Its so amazing fast and fluid. Its as if theres no wah under your foot and your simply tapping your foot on the floor.
Playing a funky song, I can do a very fast auto wah type sound and not get tired or fatigued in the slightest because it feels no different than just tapping my foot to the beat.
Also very cool is that it uses no pots so its totally noiseless and the on/off switch is an electronic pressure sensor (sort of like a digital scale) so theres no switch to pop or click or not have trigger.
One thing I'm really digging, or should I say the other half is digging, is that theres no click, click, click when I'm playing late at night. You all know how on a typical wah when you sweep it forward it hits the rubber bumbers and make a bit of a thumb, not to mention the click of the switch getting tapped. This thing is totally silent
Now the Teese RMC3 I've got is the single best sounding wah I've ever used so it will be hard to beat that, if even possible. But as far as ease of use and ergonomics go the Vision feels 100 times better under my foot. I don't know if I can go back to the normal style wah lol
Oh, on other cool little tidbit is that its got a blend knob. Never seen that before on a wah and maybe isn't really anything especially needed, but its actually been sort of cool to blend a bit of clean signal in with the wah.
Just like how the sparkle drive lets you mix some clean with the OD sound, this works the same way and its actually pretty cool on cleaner tracks to get that little bit of clean guitar to the mix
