RMC Teese Wheels of Fire Wah comparison with Crybaby Standard and Kingbee Tele

- Real McCoy WOF Wah-Wah compared side by side to the GCB-95 from Dunlop. The Teese is a vintage style, Macari flavored wah circuit. The pedalboard is from www.blackbirdpe... and I used my www.kingbeeguit... relic telecaster.
i have the teese picture wah and it sounds great. No knobs or anything just a straight up wah supposed to be like the old clyde mccoy wahs which is why its called the picture wah because it has teese's pic on the back instead of clyde lol. I like mine a lot. It works with fuzz and heavy distortion without ossilation too. It also has a monster sweep i love mine
Me too... love mine. Also, I have an old Dunlop Hendrix model which is good, but the RMC is better.
When the RMC is actually set up correctly it slays the standard cry baby. The Cry Baby has a perfect sweep and the resonance is placed perfectly, but tonally it is pretty shrill and dull.
The Crybaby sounds 'better' to some, because it is the sound they know - a lot of players have used them ... but the Teeses are better / made much better, and can be dialed in, you're right ... ... :)
Still gotta go for the crybaby, this just confirmed it even more. "Fancy" doesn't mean better, it has some cool features, but the original crybaby has that classic tone that YOU make your own, not some tech specs at McCoy :) Thanks man, just ordered my Original GCB-95 Wah Wah yesterday
@thephamcookiemonster depends on which crybaby wahpedal you buy, but this one is without the spring. I think its better to have the version without the spring, cause you can leave the wah on to some good-sounding position and then you dont have to be pressing it all the time you play.
In my experience, the Teese wahs take a long time to get used to. The only one I have used is the RMC3 (with the internal tuning, not the newer model one). Took me a little over a year of fiddling every day to really get a good grasp on its functionality. The Teese is definitely a better wah once you figure out. My bandmate has a Wheels of Fire, and he melts faces with that thing.
do those knobs adjust the top and bottom of the sweep? the RMC is exactly what i'm looking for if the toe side would open a little bit more. i should state that my fav wah solo is "white room".
Does the crybaby stay in one place or does it spring back up?
I think he was talking about the RMC 5, not all the wahs. Anyway, the RMC it's good with all pickup configurations (if you know how to use it, of course)
Hendrix used an italian Vox "Clyde Mc Coy" model.
the rmc is made to be vintage, and for that it is awesome. for a vintage sounding wah, nothing touches the rmc, but for some more wah tones the crybaby takes this one for $150 dollars left, but i still love the vintage sound of the rmc
Just got a Crybaby standard today and i seem to be getting this buzzing going through my amp whenever i turn the wah on, it changes in pitch as i move my foot up and down on it...anyone know how to solve this problem?
Hey man..Just a tip this wah wah was build for les pauls..You should of done the demo with a paul not a tele..even though you got the humbucker in the neck...Hence the WHEELS OF FIRE=Cream=Sg/Lespaul/es-335 it really shines on gibsons..Im a gibson man myself and Ive tried numerous wahs trying to find one with a deep enough sweep to actually sound like a fat wah and this ones the best.. by far
im looking for a super throaty wah sound, but i can't seem to find it. i have the signature buddy guy wah but it doesn't seem throaty enough to me. i play a les paul.
@guitar4life9 Try the RMC Wheels of Fire. GMD needs to run a little fuzz or OD after it to bring it to life, but the WOF is the throatiest wha I have played.
Plus the Crybaby isn't true bypass so it's still coloring the sound before it even hits the Teese.
Great point that probably few picked up on...me included
What's the song at the beginning & end of this video?
ok, found it myself, song is called 'hong kong, mississippi' by Bodeco from the album 'bone, hair and hide'.
TEESE RMC WHEELS OF FIRE - sounds warmer, smoother, more transparent, and frequency sweep isn't as wide but bassier
CRYBABY STANDARD - frequency sweep sounds brighter and can sound somewhat harsh at times, which might be what you're looking for
***as always, it depends on what other gear you're using, how all of your gear complements/works against each other, what sound you're looking for, how it feels, and what you're willing to pay***
Cry baby seems to have the classic sound as heard from the heyday of the wah effect in the 70s, so gets my vote on this showing. Maybe RMC could be tweaked to match the classic sounding Cry baby, perhaps there’s already a UA-cam video of its versatility being demonstrated, and a set of ‘standard’ settings? Here the RMC sounds more mellow with some of the treble missing, but that could be just the sound someone wants for a guitar part in a song.
If you like Crybaby you have to consider the MXR CAE modifed Crybaby by Bob Bradshaw, dual real fazel inductors and boost switch. At $170 is a very decent priced. You see this one on more boards than anything else, it has that circuit diagram on top.
I have heard a lot about this Tease wah, daddy like! A wah does not really come alive unless it is into an OD or some gain. That is always the true test of a good wah as many do not sound good when stacked, any wah sounds OK clean.
yes...especially when the potentiometer is so much better at cycling...love it
thanks to jack black for doing this video
Come on Jack, What about Roger Mayers Vision Wah??
I think the problem here may be that the Teese wah has so much more options and tweak-ability that it must be dailed in withose knobs properly for what you want. In this demo the Crybaby kicks all kind of ass... but in reality the Teese is by far the better wah.
Like GMD stated these are TOTALLY different wahs. The RMS is nice, as is the Crybaby. Just different.
dude please do a review of the MXR CAE WAH
What are u talking about? One of the best wah players ever(Hendrix) USED A STRAT so it doesnt matter what guitar you use.
@guitar4life9 Try the Jerry Cantrell signature Cry Baby by Dunlop. The JC95.
The RMC has a volume control and it's set to a lower than the cry baby... In almost all comparison videos the 'louder' one seems to have the better sound.
@ronkrisin
for me the hendrix and the vox are about tied
I should have said that somehow haha
Jack Black does guitar pedal reviews?
i think you should have compared it to a comperable crybaby [to me] you should pick up a Crybaby 535 or a 535q...amazing stuff
The Teese has a trimmer pot for the buffer on the inside. Max it out and then compare. Factory setting is too low.
crazy, neat sounds
Buy Zakk Wylde's signature series wah pedal. It's frikkin awesom. I recommend. It gives you some sort of little ruff but pretty awesom sound. Buy it and make a demo!
That other RMC is expensive and doesn't sound "great" woah thats nice to see that the standard Dunlop did some whoopin!
@bigtophalloween
I know the Teese Picture (and wizard as well) absolutely rocks, but I was very disappointed at the WOF
i knew he played guitar but i had no idea he knew so much about equipment!!
think he was specifically talking about the RMC wah..
the real reason you don't want the crybaby, is because of the cheap components inside that allow radio frequencies to come blasting through your amp in the middle of a song.
Cry Baby wins for me. Even with the volume discrepancy (which I compensated for).
what i NEVER realized, being that i have ser# xxxxxxxx00, the original wof geoff & i collaborated on (& based on my settings), is that mine was made using his stoo-pitly amazing "halo" inductor (previously only used in his orig picture wah), which was his idea to use instead of the inductor he made for the rest of his line. it was my mistake to assume he would continue using the halo in the wof wah (which is what i named the 1st one, a custom job) in hte eventually released model later added to the roster.
in the ensuing years, i'd been hearing/reading reviews of it that made NO sense to me, AT ALL, including a less-than-whelming opinion of it in about half the user feedback. even the notion of it being based on a macari, which i'd never even heard (knowingly) at the time i came up with the idea. what I was looking for was a vintage sounding wah, but with an outrageous vocal/bass-to-treble (my idea was to suck out the mids to get that, like i'd tried with a friend's rmc3; thank god geoff put in the halo, which smoothed the effect out!) sweep over a longer throw that i was just NOT hearing in anything else being built at the time, a sweep as throaty & wide as what i was getting from my digitech xp100 DIGITAL wah, just without hearing all the steps in between freq's, especially if sweeping slowly. i even played it over the phone to geoffrey. plus, i wanted a vol boost (w/ a center detent, & a click-off at the beginning of that pot, disconnecting a battery) and a q-pot. i wanted jimi-vowels ala "rainy day...," & eric-throat/grain ala "white room."
geoffrey NAILED that, & that's what i expected others to hear, only, without the KEY magical component, the halo inductor, they never would. so i apologize if i ever misled anyone with my enthusiasm & very vocal support for a pedal that only i possessed, thinking the released version to be the same; they are ENTIRELY different. DAMN, i was lucky, because i seriously considered trading mine for the released red wah with the added bass resonance (a really great idea, as the pedal's bass is pretty pronounced, tho' not really needed on mine, with the halo, as it added some of the mids back in, & to INCREDIBLY rich effect). & thank god geoffrey steered me away from doing so! if i HAD to compare my wof to another wah, it'd be either the one bonamassa had dunlop make for him (hb's on my lp/sg ALSO being a motivation), or scotty smith's old pro analog "supa quack," both very wide & throaty wahs that KILL with humbuckers. but my teese STILL reigns...
RMC FTW!
lol you need to start telling us what the knobs say at least. some of these demos u just spin knobs and never show us the full potential of the pedal.
seems like you have to push that red sucker to the floor to make it happen!
expensive =\= better
RMC was way to subtle. I'd take that sexy crybaby sound over it any day.
I'd say my top favorite wahs are as follows:
Fulltone Clyde Deluxe> Jimi Hendrix Crybaby > Vox V487> Standard Crybaby
It sounds like the RMS doesn't have a rich and complete sweep...
@liamguitar09 yeah ....you go take that to the store and smash in there face, it sounds Brokken mine does that 2 not the buzzing part, but it is 4 years so.... no warrenty, but hey notthing last 4ever. mb try it on a nother amp tjek cabels and so on b4 you start smashing faces.....
I think the crybaby is ruining the sound of rmc, after all its modelled on the colour sound wah which is known for its fantastic sound and should wipe the floor with the crybaby which is good but not the same
Someone's gonna sell a lot of crybabys :))
Man, that crybaby sounds way better
@guitarvibe75 damn i missed
You know what? After I wrote that I reread his comment and felt stupid, Sorry about that Tyler! lol
Jack Black twisting the knobbys
CryBaby all the way!!!
nice boots
the rmc sounds average coz the dunlop is not true bypass and sucks all the tone but the rmc is so the cry baby sounds fine
The Dunlop sounds better to me. (Checks out the window to make sure the Teese cult aren't outside with pitchforks and torches (and loads of disposable income)).
nice shoes
I prefer the Cry Baby.
The RMC sounds more like a Phaser than a Wah
Jack Black, Is that you
Yes... Back in the shire.. Bahaha GMD.
@thesjkexperience dirt-->wah, all day every day
i think the classic sounds better.
@5h1b1m4n his vids are all about entertainment dude
the snake shoes jajaja lol
Cry baby is the best Voice (wah)
I hear the difference, but does it really matter? If you want a wah, you can't get any more 'realistic' than a cry baby.
I guess if you want something 'custom' with a 'name' eclectronic tweaker guy. go for it.
But, who is really going to say, 'That wah sound was UNREAL". It's a wah, nothing more or less. Very basic
My 2 cents worth.
I have the W.O.F. wah and do not like it, it has no squeal; chirp; cry; it just wah's
I have it too but i don't like it it have a very ugly sweep
get youself a Gibson Jack!
CRY BABY RULES!!
Crybaby sounded nicer to me.
DEF JACK BLACK
i go for the cry baby!!! :)
Cry Baby! It just sounds much more like a wah should sound
u know what learnt from dis vid? DAT GMD CAN'T SET UP A TEESE WOF FO JACK SHIZNIT!!!!!!!!!
Crybaby, hands down.
