Depends on what type of wah sounds you're after...
I've gone thru the crybaby, morley PDWII, morley bad horsie(switchless), Ibanez WH-10 From these I still got all but the crybaby and I don't miss it one bit. My favorite is the bad horsie for the buffer it has, the switchless I like a lot, and the tone/sound it gets me is something I really like. When I'm looking for a more "old school' wah sound I reach for the Ibanez WH-10 wich offers 2 sounds in one wah(being it can be set for bass range) The other Morley I got as a "swiss knife" pedal since it has dist and also volume pedal all built in one, I carry this for small jam when I don't feel like carrying a load of stuff. All in all it depends on what you're after and how/why you plan on using it. Many people like the Teese Wahs, I haven't looked into them since I've found the one I like with the Bad Horsie... wich other people just hate... Try what you can at your local store, just about any store should have a crybaby, a vox, and one of the Morley wahs, this should give you an idea of what YOU like best in terms of sound. From there you can start shopping for various features that you might want or not. My 2cents, hope it helps |

I chose the Fulltone " Clyde " over the Teese Rmc series only because the Clyde has more travel in the pedal - the tones were the same ( GREAT ) .

I've got a Vox V847 reissue modified for true-bypass and the Fulltone replacement pot - this thing sounds great, I'm very happy with it so far. May upgrade the inductor at some point

I a/b'd the Buddah Wah and the Fulltone Clyde today. These two true-bypass wahs are generally considered to be among the very best of the current production models, with the Tesse wahs considered by many to be the best of the best (never played a Teese however). Also, I own a Vox 847 (the reissue of the classic Vox 846).
I'm a little inconclusive about this whole thing, as I was trying them through a strat into a Marshall, whereas I play a McCarty into a Laney or a Fender. I've got to go back with my own guitar and wah before I can draw strong conclusions. My initial impressions: They sound and feel different. They each led me to play slightly differently. The Fulltone is darker sounding, though clear. This pedal has internal trimmers that can tailor the sound, but I didn't mess with them - might have a big effect, might not. The pedal has a unique design intended to give a longer throw, but I found myself moving it forward onto the on-off switch a lot, and this is a loud switch. You would probably get used to the range of travel after awhile and learn to avoid the switch though. The Budda was about $100 less and sounded brighter, but noisier (some hiss on the treble end of the throw). The on/off switch was quieter. This has the traditional Vox-style housing and sounds good. I was planning on buying one of these two today. I'd be easily happy with the Buddah pedal, but I was unexcited since it seemed really similar to the Vox. So... I went home and played my Vox and was instantly satisfied/mollified. Like I said, I'm gonna have to play them all together with my own guitar (and bring my overdrive too) to decide which is best, but the Vox was very much in the same tonaL neighborhood as the others and I now no longer feel any pressing need to immediately 'upgrade'. The Vox is by far the cheapest of the bunch, and can be upgraded to true bypass with a ten or fifteen dollar switch. This might be the route I'll go. BTW, the Italian-made Vox Clyde McCoys and 846s from the 60's are considered the best ever. There's a whole world of stuff to learn about there though, like "Fasel" inductors and whatnot... |

I tried and listend to a few different wahs and have decided to got the route of the Teese RMC series. But now I have anathor question, I like the sound the RMC-1 provides so is a RMC-3 with the extra adjustments really all the necessary(money-wise also)?
Thanks for all the advice |

I agree with Eddie wait and check out the RMC-2. It's a cross between the 1 & 3 and has some external controls. I've had an RMC-1 for a while and have a Picture Wah coming soon.

I like the Meastro parametric filter, it does the wah thing quite well, it's a really aggresive filter but works really well for guitars as well as bass. It's made or actually designed by Bob Moog.
And the Mutron wan/volumn is quite good too, very synthey sounding. Also the korg/univox synthe pedal, super cool wah w/ a huge sweeping range and if you want, auto wah. |

Anything from Teese. The guy has the best attitude. His product is the best. Started with an old, old crybaby that I loved but finally threw away because of a bad pot (like an idiot), a 847 that had its charms. Got restless one day and put the Teese RMC mod board in the vox and a whole new world opened up for me. Started right then saving my pennies and just this year got a RMC3. Took me 5 minutes to dial it in 80% and two months for that last 20%. The thing is great. Everything I want in a wah. Would have been nice if I could have gained facility with its tuning at a faster rate, but that was not the wah's fault.
