Critic Reviews

Real McCoy Custom – RMC5 Wizard Wah | Maxwell's Pedal Reviews

wordpress.com

The Real McCoy Custom RMC5 Wizard Wah Pedal impresses with its unique tonal character and robust build. It's a standout for those seeking a distinctive wah sound, offering extended sweep range and a powerful signal boost. The fuzz-friendly technology and adjustable rocker tension are welcomed enhancements, making it versatile across various setups. However, its bold output might overwhelm players looking for subtler wah effects. The larger "anvil" case is eye-catching but may not suit all pedalboards. Overall, for tone enthusiasts willing to embrace its volume, the Wizard Wah is a worthy investment.

Real McCoy Custom RMC5 Wizard Wah Pedal review on pedal-of-the-day.com

pedal-of-the-day.com

The Real McCoy Custom RMC5 Wizard Wah by Geoffrey Teese is a standout for its hand-crafted quality and unique tone. This pedal combines elements of the RMC1 and Picture Wah, offering an extended sweep range for precise tonal control. The added boost ensures your sound cuts through any mix, making it a powerful tool for performers who want their wah effects to be unmistakably heard. However, its darker sound might not appeal to traditionalists. Despite this, its distinct character makes it a favorite among many players, earning its place on pedalboards for the long haul.
