The RMC3 sounds great right out the box, it just has all those options inside IF you want to tweak it.

If you don't want all the options then the Tesse Picture Wah is the one to go for.

Oh, I've forgot about the Fulltone wah - it's supposed to be badass.

Just bought an RMC3 - it shipped on Tuesday. You're welcome to take it for a spin. If it gets here by Saturday and if you have the time to stop by to pick it up, you can take it with you to Phil's if you like (that is if you are going).

Vox - either one will do.

Not sure if it is true bypass but just mod it.  It works well for clean, crunch and distortion, has an awesome, smooth range (unlike 'fake'Morleys and 'screechy' CryBabys). Used mine at practice last night and my band members were in awe of the sound (but not my playing!)

Andy!
GREAT GOOGILY MOOGILY!

Hey Louie,  

Thanks for the offer.  I actually decided on the picture wah per HTH's recommendation and all the great reviews.  I realize the RMC3 can do all the Teese sounds but the less adjustments I have the better..lol  

If I already had a cheap wah, I prolly would have went with the Area 51 drop-in kit.  

thanks

hi!
i have a teese rmc1 without any control, and it sound incredible in a srv/hendrix way. but... the output volume is so high i can't have a real clean sound for funk. so it lacks a volume control. but again what a sound! teese wah are really juicy...
i bought a xotic robotalk for funky stuff, he he he!!!
i think you're right to choose the rmc3 ( if i can, i go for the upgrade of the rmc3 instead the rmc1, to have the vol. control).
be funky!!!

oups... i mean the picture wah... :D
is there any vol control on this one, and if not, it doesn't bother you?
is there any volume boost when you activate it?
thanks

There is a slight volume boost when activated which to me is perfect.  As far as volume control, there are no knobs but on the included paper work it says "The unmarked board-mounted trimmer can control wah-wah's output volume"
I've yet to unscrew it to verify since I am happy with the output.

Those picture wahs are awesome.
Just wondering why no one likes Morley's? I have a Bad Horsie (but am definately not a vai fan, fingertapping idiot, talented, but boring) and i love the massive sweep on it.

I'm guessing people would dislike it for not have the classic wah sounds like Vox or crybaby, but to me they just don't have big enough ranges. Could just be a personal thing, i want a waaaaaaah, not a wah :)

Hope you like the picture

Joe

PS, i dont have to switch my wah on or off, no horrible push switches like cyrbabys or vox's..... just saying :)
Yours,
