This is a follow up to an older thread about buying a new wah from a few weeks ago, not that I expect any of you were left hanging on the edge of your seats LOL
Finally found a dealer with some Teese wah's in stock again and I went for the top of the line RMC3. Thats the one with all the internal adjustments for bass, mid, q, volume, 9 sweep switches and 2 fine tuning controls.
Its also got a very high quality pot rated for 100K life and even plays well with a fuzzface with licensing FoxRox technology.
Basically long story short this thing sounds awesome. Tell you something you didn't know your probably thing right ?
Its not cheap at $255 but you can basically make it sound like any wah you want. Deep, full, quacky, screaming, smooth, sweet, mellow, you name it.
I've had the Dunlop 535Q before and this is just on another level. Some of those Crybabys do have some range adjustments but they still sound basically the same.
The RMC3 seriously lets you morph it into a totally different wah. It can be the sharpest sounding funky crybaby you've heard and a very full and sweet old Vox, just as an example.
Only downside is its all trim pots and micro dip switches so its not really adjustable on the fly. Guess you've got to pick one great sound and stick with it for a set, but what a sound it is.
Its just so very organic and musical, hights never become too shrill. It always sounds "just right"
One of the things that also impressed me greatly was how smooth the sweep is. So many wahs have the whole sweep in a tiny range but this one really is wide and smooth so you can easily play in the sweet spot as its not only over 1mm of pedal travel.
Its well built of course in a sturdy metal case, hand built too in fact which is always cool. Top quality as expected.
Its a shiny blue case which stands out from the norm though I'd probably prefer red, not that it matters LOL
so summary: probably the best, or at least in the top few depending on who you ask, wah's on the market.
The tweak factor is what I think really makes it the tops though.
A fulltone for example is nice as well but you eitehr like it or you dont. The RMC3 if you don't like it can be tweaked to a point where you should defiantly find something you love.
Again price is high but that aside, I can't think of any wah that would have a better chance of being exactly what any wah lover is looking for.
So if you can afford it, highly recommended.
cheers
