Real McCoy Custom Joe Walsh Signature Wah
The Joe Walsh Signature Wah by Real McCoy Custom has been on Walsh’s pedal board (which you can see here) since late 2007, when the company, also known as RMC, began producing the pedal.
The pedal — which happens to be the company’s first signature model — was designed according to Walsh’s specs and aims to reproduce the wah sounds heard on Walsh’s early recordings.
The Walsh model features true bypass, an exclusive RMC ROC-POT potentiometer and easily adjustable rocker tension. As a visual bonus, the flame graphics on the chassis were created by artist Perry Hall according to — once again — Walsh’s specs.
What does it sound like?
This pedal doesn’t leave much of a footprint on YouTube (no foot/pedal pun intended). Hopefully, RMC will create and post an official demo video. Until then, you’ll find only one or two poor-quality videos on YouTube, plus this helpful video from ProGuitarShop.com.
MSRP: $235 | For more info about this pedal, visit realmccoycustom.com.

Forget these overpriced models and get the MXR MC404 CAE Dual Inductor Wah. Switches between the classic Hendrix tone and throaty tone similar to what Iommi used, very versatile pedal.

I realize it will never win any awards for sound quality, but I really love the feature set of the Ibanez WD-7 weeping demon. I wish I could find a schematic to play around with the circuit.

Perhaps Guitar World can explain how a signature wah pedal is "essential" to begin with. Thoughts? Somewhat suspicious that you're in bed with most of the musicians and companies on this list to begin with. Doesn't do much for your credibility you know.

What sort of mark-up does putting a signature on something add? What if I want my name on it? If I'm buying it, the only name I want on it is mine!
