This really is one of the best Wahs on the planet. I love how it comes w\/ a bunch of &#8220;famous&#8221; wah settings e.g. Hendrix, Shaft, Cry Baby, etc. It sounds silly but several years ago I really had to cover Shaft on a gig. All I did was plug-in Geoffrey&#8217;s settings and low and behold it was perfect. Pretty cool.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>These days I don&#8217;t really do the typical wah-wah-on-every-note-you-play-thing. I don&#8217;t really like that sound. I go for more of a slower sweep or filter w\/ a lot of delay or tremolo. It always sounds awesome. For the past 5 or so years now I&#8217;ve just left it set on the Wizzard Wah settings:<\/p>\n<p>MID=1:30<br \/>\nSWEEP=6,7\u00a0 \u00a0 ON<br \/>\nFINE\u00a0\u00a0 TUNE=9\/9<br \/>\nQ=11:00<br \/>\nVOL=5:00<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mrguitar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/20140523_222524.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"576\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mrguitar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/20140523_222524.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mrguitar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/20140523_222524-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mrguitar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/20140523_222524-768x442.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/>Original pot<\/p>\n<p>Over time though, it&#8217;s gotten a little noisy and the pot has been cracking some. Cleaning it with contact spray seemed to help for a while, but I finally figured it was time to either replace the pot or get a new wah. I really like how Geoffrey Teese supports his pedals. He&#8217;s always very responsive via email, and sends components very quickly. About five years ago I replaced the switch on this pedal, and he made process completely painless. Anyway, I got the new pot a few days ago and it was incredibly easy to install, maybe 10 minutes w\/ soldering. Luckily for my bank account replacing the pot seems to have made it good as new!<\/p>\n<p>The newer versions of this pedal have all the controls accessible from outside the case so it&#8217;s much easier to tweak on the fly. I highly recommend taking a look at one of these if you&#8217;re in the market for a great wah.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mrguitar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/20140523_222511.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"456\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mrguitar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/20140523_222511.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mrguitar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/20140523_222511-300x137.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mrguitar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/20140523_222511-768x350.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/>With the new pot installed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>She&#8217;s a beauty I&#8217;ve had my RMC3 for almost 15 years now and I still love it.
