Hi all,

Blast from the post here 8)

Have anyone used this system before?
Im investigating wireless systems at the moment.

This will only be for home use ?

Glad 2 be back!

Hey inflames! Good to see you back around these parts. ? Honestly those aren't great systems. I don't have a horse in this race (we don't sell guitar wireless systems), so I can wholeheartedly recommend the Line 6 digital wireless systems. They are superb sounding and relatively inexpensive. I've had two and still use one every time I play. Do a search for Line 6 Relay G30 on GFSA. There's actually a few topics on this and I do recall explaining in a couple of them about the benefits of digital wireless vs old school RF. Hope that helps.

Why wireless for home use? Also, if someone doesn't need to move around a lot on stage, it seems kind of pointless to go through all the hassle and batteries, etc. I always used to laugh at a pro player here in CT, who never strayed more than a metre from his rack, but had wireless for both his mic and guitar.

Hi Alan,

The thing is I want to be clutter free, so no cables.
The issue with my previous rig was that it took some time to set everything up.

I don't have a dedicated room / area that is child proof.
My 2 year old daughter would love those cables ?

I just want to switch on the rack, pick up the guitar and play.

Thanks Mr T, will have a look at the Line 6 setups.

Is the saving of not having to plug in one cable going to be worth the cost?

For me, definitely ?

One of my first wireless systems was a Samson, did the trick and I got what I paid for. There is slight signal degradation but in a live setting was barely noticeable. From there I moved on to akg(it broke), shure( batteries too expensive and cable was pricey to replace. I currently use a sennheisser g2, had it for round 6 years already, love it

That Samson system has worked for me for the past four years.

The small transmitter that plugs directly into the output jack is onecofvthe be st I've used.

Simple, inexpensive what more do you need?
