WHICH WAH?
The majority of email I receive deals with the question of “Which wah do I need?” The following information is a quick synopsis of my models that I’ve put together in hopes of explaining the differences in my models enough for you to be able to pick the right one for your needs.
RMC1 - Very dark wah, suitable for: bass guitar, single coil pickups or other
lower strength pickups, detuned guitars. The RMC1 can sometimes get muddy,
or lose definition, with high-output pickups. For new models with the under-the-rocker
toggle switch, you can simply flip the toggle backwards for different,
and adjustable, lower end resonance which is more humbucker/high-output
pickup friendly.
RMC2FL - Allows the user access to some tuning controls for tune-on-the-fly usage. The primary sound is very similar to the RMC1, although it is a bit brighter than the RMC1 at the maximum clockwise (RMC1) sweep range. While the RMC2 may share a sweep range with another RMC model, it has its own sound and does NOT reproduce the sound of any other RMC models. The RMC2 works with most any pickup and any amp configuration.
RMC3FL - This model CAN reproduce the sounds of all the other RMC models and has front-loaded controls on the front slope of the new case. The RMC3 works with most any pickup and any amp configuration.
PICTURE WAH (RMC4) - This is THE model if you want a classic wah sound. The PW works with most any pickup and any amp configuration.
WIZARD WAH (RMC5) - Slightly darker than a "normal" wah. The top end gets only a LITTLE brighter than the actual guitar sound. The WW has a very smooth overall sound - the low has close to the same signal strength as the mid and the top. The WW should not be thought of as a vintage-sounding wah. The WW works with most any pickup and any amp configuration.
WHEELS OF FIRE (RMC6FL) - Delivers a sonic replication of one of the old British Macari wahs and should not be thought of as an Italian sounding wah. Two entirely different animals. The WOF has an adjustable low end since not everybody likes the boomy bottom end of a real Macari. The top end is a LITTLE brighter than the WW but not as bright as the PW. The WOF works with most any pickup and any amp configuration.
JOE WALSH SIGNATURE WAH - Very similar in sound and characteristics to the RMC4 except with faster movement through the wah's sweep range. The faster sweep yields a slightly different mid-range than the RMC4.
RMC8-Guitar Eqwahlyzer - Similar in sound and characteristics to the RMC4 with the addition of 5 bands of +/- 15db equalization. The RMC8 works with most any pickup and any amp configuration.
RMC9-Bass Eqwahlyzer - A dedicated bass wah with the wah envelope extending down to 100Hz with the addition of 5 bands of +/- 15db equalization.
