Geoffrey Teese RMC Picture Wah

Just engage and play.

Using a stock 82 Strat, picture wah, Fulldrive II, Dr-Z Carmen Ghia, 1x12 vintage 30 cab. This is the real deal Wah. It doesn't get any better than this. I have tried many over the years, and at 47 I have had time to try a few.

So far so good.

G.R.T. is easy to get a hold of. Purchased extra switches and pot with no problems. Thanked me for purchasing his product. Now that is service with a great touch.

Play blues and rock and what ever moves me at the time. Have been playing for about 35 years. This pedal was expensive, but if you want the real deal sound, it will cost you 235 bucks. Well worth it in my estimation. Each time I engage this unit it is hard to turn it off. Exploration can take you into hours, from great notch settings to full spectrum sweep that is usable throughout the full range.

Just kick it on! Unlike some of the other wahs in this class, this pedal is totally stock and has no trimmers to be tinkered with.

Sounds closer to Electric Ladyland than any other wah I've ever tried.
This thing makes my Fulltone Clyde sound like a 75 dollar crybaby, and I thought the Clyde was great when I bought it. The Teese is deeper, fatter and has a very throaty growl to it. This thing has ended my 15+ year search for the ultimate Hendrix wah sound. I'm using this with a Heritage H-150(like a Les Paul, but thinner) and my modded Marshall JCM 800. I do also use a Fulltone Soulbender, but I get a much more dynamic wah sound going straight into the amp. All in all, a great pedal. Hey! Anybody want to by my Clyde?

Haven't had it long, but it's pretty well built. I've never had a wah pedal break before. After a while the pots get scratchy, but the Teese pots reputedly a MUCH longer life-span.

I conversed over email with Geoffrey about 6 times before buying this. Since I already had the Fulltone, and didn't want to blow another $250 on something similar, I was skeptical. He eased my mind and bet me a buck that I would like it. Guess I owe him the buck. Great guy!

Can't say enough good. The only minor complaint is the thin aluminum plate on the bottom of the unit. I'm sure it's fine, just doesn't seem as sturdy as the rest of the unit. Also, I'm worried that the sticker on the plate(with Geoffrey's pic) won't last too long. Too bad, it's a cool sticker....would be better if it were imprinted on the unit. Hey...these are minor quibbles though. Go buy one! It's great if you want the classic 60's wah tone.

Very easy to use. There are no switches or knobs to adjust.

I've fallen in love with this wah's clean tone, it's very meaty and very pronounced.

My setup includes G&L Legacy -> Picture Wah -> Marshall Compressor -> Sweetsound Ultra Vibe -> FullDrive 2 -> Fulltone '69 -> Peavey Classic 50-212BT Amp. In the effects loop I have a Boss EQ-7 -> Boss CE-5 -> Danelectro Echo -> Danelectro Tremelo. I also have (which I no longer use)Danelectro Octave Distortion and a Morley PWV Wah/Volume pedal.

Anyways, the Picture Wah has that classic Hendrix/SRV/Cream tone that I've been searching for. I've compared this pedal to the Morley Wahs, VOX re-issue, and the CryBabay Q95. The PW blows all of these pedals away by far.

This pedal is very well built, inside and out. The only minor quibble I have is that I wish the base plate was a little more sturdier. It consists of a thin aluminum-type plate, which is very easily damaged and bent.

This is a solid pedal ---->> thick enough to cave in Osama Bin Laden's head with one blow.

No opinion. Never dealt with Teese. I like what I hear on this website though. The pedal comes with a 5-year warranty also.

This pedal is a keeper. I'll have this pedal for the rest of my playing days. I predominantly play classic rock, blues, and some jazz.

Very easy to use. I've owned both the RMC-1 and the RMC-3 and all the knobs and pots were part of the turn off to those wahs. Wah may be the easiest of all effects, just plug and play...

I use a mainly strat type guitars with EMG pup sets. I also own a Gibson ES-135 with P-90 pups. My amps are '68 vintage Fenders. The Picture wah has been consistent with all of the guitars. The pedal is not noisy at all even when shut off. My Way Huge Red Llama sounds great with this pedal, but my Fulltone Fulldrive lost a bit of low end with the Picture wah engaged. There is also a bit of a volume boost to the pedal, but this is not an issue.

Have not owned it long, but the finish on this wah seems rock hard. I cracked it open and the lay out is very clean. The soldering points are neat and fill me with confidence. I'm a heavy guy so we shall see what this pedal can go through. I've had it for 2 months and it's going fine...

Geoffrey Teese has got to be own of the most accesible pedal makers on the planet. You can call him or email him and he will get back to within a couple of days. He is also very helpful in answering questions, never making you feel dumb for asking. $235 was quite a bit to spend on a wah pedal, but he even offered to take the pedal back if I didn't like it.

I play funk and latin jazz. I am a wah lover! My first wah was my dad's '67 voz wah and it was my number one until it was stolen. I've been through ever wah known to man: Budda, Dunlap, Vox, Fulltone, Geoffrey Teese himself and have never been satisfied. Alfonso Hermida from Analog Man modded a a Vox reissue and I was almost happy, but the pedal could not hold up to the constent abuse of the road. the Fulltone Clyde was even better. The tone was perfect, but the throw was soo long I can't see any use for it but lead work at this point. The Picture wah is the perfect balance! I have my wah on all the time so it's an integral part of how I create music. I would bash the head of anyone who stole this pedal with my Picture wah and not even harm the finish!

If you're reading this, then you probably know how to use a wah. Unlike Teese RMC 2 or 3 there are no knobs or pots to adjust. That's how I like it. No manual, none needed. If you need a manual, then you're brain must be half squashrot(that being the better half).

Perfect wah.

The most delicious vocal wah sounds on record/disc IMHO are Hendrix' "Still Raining Still Dreaming", some SRV, and Michael Landau's work with Raging Honkies and Burning Water. The Picture wahs nails all of the finest nuances of those wah sounds. The more vocal human wahs recorded by Cream, Vai, Satriani, Hammet, Grand Funk Railroad are here. I gave up on wahs for years because none sounded great, were noise, and they sucked my guitar's tone. Thank goodness for the Picture wah.

My set-up: usually Sadowsky strat with Kinman AVn pickups or Sadowsky hum single hum -> Carl Martin Compressor (used occasionally and only for clean tones) -> Picture Wah -> Soldano/Caswell X99 preamp -> Soldano SLO-100 -> Daedelus x10 and/or Soldano 4x12 cab. I also take the SLO-100 speaker out to Palmer PGA-04 for recording and the occasional PA board.

No noiser than any other wah when the pedal is pressed to accentuate the treble. Totally transparent and quiet when in true bypass.

Seems built pretty well. I'll gig sans backup.

Geoffrey Teese is extremely accessable and very helpful. He answered my e-mails (many of them) super fast. His attitude is exemplary.

My wah needs are set for life. If you want a fantastic wah, then buy the Teese RMC Picture Wah. I cannot imagine anyone wanting great wah tones not liking this pedal. I play classic rock, metal, pop, funk, blues, rarely country and straight jazz. If it were stolen I'd be on the phone the next second ordering two!

I had Morley, Dunlop. The Picture Wah is finally here to cure the wah blues.

As easy as it can get! The Bad Horsie Wah goes on easier but sucks tone, makes noise, and doesn't have the sound.

This is first in line after my PRS Custom 24, then comes my Captain Cocconut (I'm on the waiting list), to my Mesa Boogie Heartbreaker (100watt head and 2X12 Custom 90s), and last (I'm waiting for Analogman to mail it) a true bypass moded Deluxe Memmory Man in the loop.
Be careful, get a seatbelt, and hold on tight: THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST WAH PEDAL IN THE UNIVERSE!!!!
I had an original Clyde McCoy that I bought back in the early 70s
and it couldn't hold a candle the this piece of ART. I've tried them all, including the new "Killer Wail"(wailing with returned goods)and the Dunlop 535Q. This Wah is the best there ever was, in my opinion.
It nails all the Classic Rock sounds I ever heard, with excellent sound and feel. It always sounds great no matter how you use it (terrific clean and fantastic as dirty as you want).
If you care about your signal, sound quality, true bypass, and being able to go back through time and snatch all the nuances of Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and others (Like Clapton): Do Youself a favor BUY THIS WAH! You'll never need another.

I would use it without backup because it's built like a Vault!
I unscrewed the rubber feet and installed the cover backwards to protect the picture and serial #. This wah will get plenty of use.

I wish I could give higher than a 10 here! Mr. Teese is a "gentleman and a scholar" and indeed rare, for someone with his fame. Perhaps it is because of his passion as a guitarist himself, but he comes accross as knowledgeable yet humble. You couldn't get better support!

For some reason, I often feel disappiontment, or something of a "let-down" when I buy something new and I'm going through the good and bad points. Not so with this wah... there are NO bad points. The price is substantially low for what you're getting in quality and sound!

like every other wah. plug in and play.

i use it with an sib varidrive, zvex fuzz factory, and addrock geranium fuzz. it sounds great with all of them! it also sounds great clean. i've never found a wah that i liked until now. the fulltone was the closest, but this thing is the one! its the best wah available, hands down. i've played all the new ones, but i've never played an original. the main thing i was looking for was one that would have a great range and also work with my fuzz and overdrives. well this one done. with any kind of gain, it just squawks and screams. you can hold notes forever and get great feedback.

built like a brick! period.

bought this at alpha music in va beach and they have been very helpful. george stands behind his product 100% and i'm sure if i did have a problem that he would fix it.

i wouldn't give all 10s if i didn't mean it. i've hated whas for years. i've heard people use them, but could never get them to work with fuzz's and could never get the range and crazy feedback stuff that i've been going for. as a matter of fact, i haven't owned a wah for over 4 1/2 yrs until now. b/f that i had dunlops and a vox reissue. they were ok at best. i had tried many, many others and they all fell short. this is one is it.

What can I say? It's a wah. You plug it in, step on it, and wail. Does not require an advanced degree in rocket science.

This is the wah I have been looking for all of my playing life. I've owned and do own quite a few wahs of various makes, including a very unique Red FASEL Crybaby that, until now, was the benchmark to which I measured all others. I could never afford the prices going for original Picture Clydes, and I never thought much of the Signature Clydes (no depth). Even still, there is no guarantee that the Picture Clyde you get will have the killer sound of the famous ones we all grew up hearing on record. They varied too. Apparently Geoffrey has taken the time to search out and clone an exceptional sounding Picture Clyde. It's all there, people. The nasal quality of Clapton on "Tales of Brave Ulysses," the squawky quack of "White Room," (if used with an elusive Dallas Rangemaster), the growl and vomit of "I Ain't Superstitious," the explosiveness of "Still Raining, Still Dreaming," the list goes on. The more I play it, the better it sounds.

Because I own an RMC3, I am familiar with Geoffrey's attention to detail and flawless contruction and wiring. Top-notch all the way.

Geoffrey is a pleasure to deal with. He is always willing to listen to your desires and does his best to accommodate them. In the case of the Picture Wah, he has taken an unspoken wish and made it real. Bravo!

I play hard rock, blues-rock, classic metal and, as such, needed a wah that could re-create all those classic tones. I can say without reservation, after playing it for hours, that this wah's got what it takes. THE PICTURE CLYDE HAS BEEN REBORN! Don't bother spending $750.00 on a 35-year-old pedal when you can get one that's brand new and sounds killer. One suggestion: for those of you who want precise incremental control of the wah. Loosen up the pedal's top, so it is just on the edge of floppy. This will make it FAR easier to manipulate and will help to get that burpy psychedelic tone when rocking the pedal back and forth very fast.

Simple to use, basic wah wah pedal function. Unlike the RMC3, which allows the user to change tone quality, or the RMC1, which is a "hot rodded" wah circuit, this pedal is a "stock circuit" based on the Clyde McCoy Picture Wah. This is a brand new release from Geoffrey Teese.

My setup is as follows: Alessandro Beagle (EL84 Class A 10 watts/1X12 cabinet with 25watt Celestrion Greenback), Rangemaster, RMC Picture Wah, RMC3+(Custom RMC3 Wah, 1995), MJM London Fuzz, MJM London Fuzz2, TS-808, Ultra Vibe, MXR Analog Delay, 1965 Stratocaster (Rosewood Board). Most of my chain are true bypass, so noise really does not come into play unless several pedals are engaged. (MXR and 808 are not true bypass) I play all forms of music (lots of hard rock, and blues). The Picture Wah is able to match all the tones of "yesteryear". I have owned many "Clyde McCoy's" in my 25+ years of playing and this is a recreation of a legend. The quality of the tone is somthing to behold. In conjunction with the Fuzzes, I am able to recreate any Hendrix tone. ("Voodo Chile" is on the money.) The rangemaster and Picture Wah.. envision "White Room" or "I ain't Superstitious". The secret is that Geoffrey has recreated the coveted "Halo Inductor", and measured and matched the components of an original Vox Clyde McCoy Picture Wah. This inductor along with the carefully matched components gives the RMC Picture Wah its defined sweep range. The attack is very sharp, requiring little foot movement to move through the wah's vocal range. The bass is full and harmonically rich. The midrange sings, and the treble is not to shrill. Even the volume of the wah (when engaged) increases slightly like the original. The tone talks to you! It has tremendous quack and (for lack of a better word) vomit. Geoffrey really has nailed the vintage tone of a Vox Clyde McCoy Picture Wah!

I own 2 RMC3's, and the RMC Picture Wah. I have never had a problem with a Real McCoy Custom pedal. When I gig I always have a backup.

I have known Geoffrey Teese for 7 years. He is truly a gem! I was told to contact Geoffrey by Vox to repair several old VOX Clyde's and V846's back in 1994. He put those units in perfect working order, he even provided output measurements and a disertation, then guaranteed the work for six months! I then asked Geoffrey to make me an RMC3, which is outstanding! Then we got creative.. He designed an RMC3+ (Super Wah). This unit has all the capabilities of the RMC3 with a Harmonic resonance control and other special features and components. The inductor is a prototype "Halo" with an extra lead so the Harmonic can be tuned. Very ingenious work, and what a distinct sound. There is no other like it!! Geoffrey will always be there if a problem occurs with his pedals. He takes the time to hear what YOU have to say, and what YOUR needs are! He is not only a good business man, he is a good friend as well!! I wish I could give him a 20.

If this unit was stolen I would have to get another! With the price of vintage Clyde McCoy's at $400-$700, its great that Geoffrey has REALLY gone the distance to duplicate this wonderful sounding wah. Selling under $250, this represents tremendous value for the money! I love the fact that this truly nails the vintage Vox Clyde McCoy Picture Wah attack, and sound. As I said, I have owned many (I still have a Signature model, Anybody want to buy it?)I tried other boutique companies wah pedals, Budda, Fulltone, etc.. THEY ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE! This pedal allows me to create the music I have always played, and not worry about a delicate vintage pedal breaking or being stolen. If you have been searching the market for that elusive "Clyde McCoy" tone. Look no further, the RMC Picture Wah has arrived.
