Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

The Real McCoy Custom RMC4 Picture Wah recreates the original 1967 Clyde McCoy wah tone through a blueprinted circuit modeled on a vintage Italian Picture Wah, built by Geoffrey Teese, who earned a reputation as the wah guru after years spent repairing and studying vintage Italian and English wah pedals dating back to the 1960s. Carlos Santana runs the chrome-topped version as the wah in his notably sparse pedalboard, visible and audible on the Live at Montreux 2011 release, feeding directly from his Pete Cornish LD-1 line driver into what functions as essentially his sole dedicated effect for shaping his signature vocal-like lead tone.
The Real McCoy Custom RMC4 Picture Wah is a hand-crafted wah pedal inspired by the circa-1967 Italian-made Vox Clyde McCoy, delivering classic vintage wah character from the late 1960s and early 1970s. The circuit employs a custom-designed inductor, RFI and EMI filtering, licensed fuzz technology from Foxrox Electronics, and the proprietary RMC Roc-Pot potentiometer. The pedal delivers a smooth, even sweep with no breaks or dropouts, offering a vocal-like quality ideal for rock, blues, and funk genres. The long, smooth sweep is greasy and expressive, with excellent compatibility with fuzz pedals for layered tonal exploration.
