Real McCoy Custom RMC4 Wah
Real Mccoy · pedal
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.
