Description from the seller:

Very early Teese RMC3 Wah in excellent condition. I learned from Mr. Teese that this was one of his earliest RMC3's. Before he went into full production with his own cases, Mr. Teese stuffed Crybaby and Vox shells with his circuit until these companies hit him with a cease and desist order. This wah even predates his regular serial number production models. The wah comes with the original instruction sheet and the adjustment tool. I sent the wah to Mr. Teese's shop about a month ago to replace a bad pot and for a check up where it received a clean bill of health. I had a newer version of the RMC3 and this early one at one point. To my ear the early RMC3 sounded "richer" than the newer one. I sold the newer one and kept this one. I have'nt had the need for a wah lately and I need some funds so this one is up for grabs. I will probably regret selling it but I would rather see someone enjoy it as opposed to it sitting in my closet.

By the way I am a trained electronic enginer and have been workin in the business for over 10 years,

Claus,
Did it ever occur in your stubborn head....

That there's quite a lot of people with the same grades and background here? And if not much more experience??

That this place isn't filled with Booteek wannabe's all way below your level??

That those other people apart from having the same electronic background, also managed to get their degrees in "grammar school".

a.k.a

Get off your high horse will you !![/color]

Here's the trace side of mine. The pic is from a crappy web cam but I guess it's better than nothing. Don't know if anyone is interested at this point though.



I've got a decent pic of the component side though.

and like 99% of the whas on the earth, here too nothing special!!!!

it's always the same dunlop/vox schem! the best advice I can give for wahs is: "buy a cheap wah (dunlop or what ever) out from ebay or similar and then you can apply all the mods you want to, so that the wha will in the end sound the way you want!"
end of story that's it!

I agree with you Gila.
I've bought the standard Crybaby used and really cheap, then thrashed the pcb exept the inductor (also kept the hotpotz)... then I've build a modded Axis Wah with the FuzzCentral schematic (6 way switch for capacitors, Q pot).. and this sound really awesome for only 30€ and 2 hours of work!

I've got an RMC3. I picked up a board which I had intended to drop in my Crybaby, but then found out it was intended as a replacement for Vox wahs. So I picked up a "HOT POTZ" loom for a V847 and fitted it to the Crybaby pedal along with the RMC3 board - it's sweet!

I'd like to put input.output buffers in it though, and to add an external power supply, if possible. All on the "future projects" list!

Got a newer version here, owner was having problems with it and didn't want to open it. The pot had come loose and fallen out of place, and the clamp was too loose for the rack to catch the gear. Put the pot back in and tightened everything up. Sounds very nice
