"The first time I played a Silvermachine Mk2
by
Musician Sound Design I was convinced
my |
|
RMC3 would blow it away. Why? because there are 15
parameters to control inside a RMC3 and |
|
therefore it should cover all wah
sounds from the past to the future. |
|
I changed every parameter, one at the
time, to hear how it affects the sound. I honestly can |
|
say I understand what each parameter in a
RMC3 does and how they relate to each other. |
|
Stepping on a Silvermachine I found my
sound within 3 clicks and it sounded better to my(!) |
|
ears than my '2 weekends, 5 rehearsels and
4 gigs'-tuned RMC3 over the last 5 years." |
|
|
|
"There are 3 things that bothers
me with conventional wah's. |
|
1: the on/off switch is
located under the toe. I raised the switch
to make it switch under less presure. |
|
2: switches do have a dead-spot (no sound) when pushed
slightly. I often put my foot on the |
|
wah before switching and no sound live on stage is killing me! |
|
It even made me replace the switch by a very expensive 3pdt
switch that seem to have the same dead-spot. |
|
3: the lack of an on/off LED. I still have some wire,
LED and resistor in my RMC3 as a result of my |
|
LED 'project', but it still doesn't function..." |
|
|
|
The big round button in the diamond
plate pedal is one of the secrets in design. |
|
The unique Automagic sensor
activates the effect as soon as a foot is laid upon the pedal. |
|
|
|
The only drawback I can think off in
this pedal is the width; Morley instead of a smaller Dunlop. On |
|
the other hand a Dunlop with knobs at
a side is almost equal width to a Morley with knobs on top. |
|
|
|
A newly-developed ultra-low-noise
circuit means that switching is practically noiseless. |
|
The filter itself also displays
extremely low noise characteristics |
|
|
 |
Earth:
switches between three different frequency ranges. |
|
Quake: 4 "Q-Factor"
settings - altering the band width of the filter. |
|
The Earth and Quake
selectors can be used in combination to |
|
produce a total of 12 sound
configurations. |
|
|
|
The toggleswitch lets you
change instantly between Modern and Classic |
|
modes. Classic represents
the familiar wah-wah effect (100% effects). |
|
Modern supplies the
opportunity to create new and subtle variations by |
|
mixing the effect signal with the
original input.(trimmer on circuitboard inside) |
|
|
|
The switch is an additional
switch for wah in a fixed pedal position. |
|
Think of ZZ-Top or Mark Knopfler/Dire
Straits' Money For Nothing. |

|
Note: the LED in the picture
left is a Mk1 model, see picture above for Mk2. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
1: The device includes four
additional brackets that allow it to be screwed |
|
or bolted to an effects board. |
|
|
|
2: There is a service
opening in the rear of he pedal to allow the thread to |
|
be cleaned. Thus it is no longer
necessary to dismantle the housing when |
|
carrying out this maintenance. |
