Members -DC/AC- Posted November 10, 2007 Members Share Posted November 10, 2007 So I had originally decided on buying a Teese RMC 3 for all my wah needs, then changed it to a RMC 2. I was recently looking on ebay for a RMC 2, when i chickened out. I still can't decide which one to get. I have no way to try either of them out, so I have to base it on reviews and opinions. What are some similiarities and differences between these two wahs? I already know the RMC 3 has internal controls, the RMC 2 has a external, and the RMC 3 has more controls, but I haven't heard any comparisons in the sounds. Could you help me out?

Members Wilbo26 Posted November 10, 2007 Members Share Posted November 10, 2007 From what I understand, if you need to change the way your wah sounds fairly often, get the RMC2 because of its internal controls. If you just want to dial in a sound and leave it, get the RMC3. I could be mistaken but I think the 2 are pretty close sound wise, so it really comes down to how accessible you need the tweakable settings to be. Personally I'd get the RMC3, as I wouldn't want to have the settings out and easily moved like on the RMC2. I think if you used several guitars that needed quick changes to get the wah sounding like you want the RMC2 is better for that though. If anything Geoffrey is a really nice guy and if you got one and weren't happy he'd probably let you exchange them, and if you just e-mail or call him he can probably tell you the main differences you could expect soundwise between the two.

I agree with most everything you said except the part about Geoffrey doing an exchange. RMC does not sell direct. Geoffrey can and will be of help in making a decision. However any swaps or exchanges would be between the Customer and Retailer. Personally I would suggest the RMC2. The RMC3 is the Flagship for the line. It will recreate any and all the RMC line.The RMC2 is just a wonderful and versatile wah to own.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know he doesn't do direct sales. Surely some of his retailers would do an exchange though right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members -DC/AC- Posted November 11, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 11, 2007 I went ahead and e-mailed him and he had this to say: "If you are searching for your own particular unique tone, then the RMC3 is the only wah that will give that to you. If you're looking for a good all around wah that also has multiple sweeps, then the RMC2 would be the right piece." I don't really need my own wah tone, I just need a standard, wah that can do some classic to slightly modern-ish tones, so I'm liking the RMC2 right now.

Members murch33 Posted November 11, 2007 Members Share Posted November 11, 2007 All I know is that my RMC2 kicks all kinds of ass, and I don't have any GAS for anything else. It's the only wah I'll ever need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
