Killer concept, but if ya had a rack rig, you wouldn't even need this.

You know, so your pedalboard doesn't need cables?Last edited by LLL; 06-19-2022, 03:14 PM.

I'd rather run a cable direct to my amp than use a rack rigMy Bands -

When I use a wireless, I have the receiver on my pedalboard. No different than having a rack wireless with rack gear and a midi control foot switch out front. The only difference is the form factor.
I currently have a Line 6 G50. It works great. The cable length setting is nice to simulate a short to long cable. I have it set to 10-15 feet. It’s been really reliable.

My WL-20's receiver is connected to my pedalboard, too. I suppose I could use it from the pedalboard to the amp as well.Administrator of the SDUGF

Just to follow up I did 2 shows weekend before last 90 mins Friday and about 2 full hours on Saturday with nothing but onboard charging, it worked perfectly.
This past weekend I sat in with my friend's band over 3 sets, all guitars and lead vox have wireless and there were 2 sets of in-ears running again it worked great.
I will say this WL-50 has passed with flying colors.
The only thing I would change about it is how far the transmitter sticks out. It hasn't caused any issues at all but I feel like I'll snap it right off some day, I am kind of dangerous to gear like that lol

Here's something to watch out for to avoid showing up with a dead battery.
When the transmitter is fully docked, it presses the same button that turns the device on when in your guitar. If your pedal is not plugged in A/C power, the transmitter will drain (even in standby).
There's a trick which overcomes this. Instead of pushing the transmitter all the way in, push it part way until it clicks into a detent. Seems to hold it in place without turning it on. Not sure if Boss intentionally designed for this, but it works.

If something happens, you can plug in a guitar cable into the wl-50, and you're back in business without messing with any patch cables on your board.
Seems like nothing, but very useful especially when seconds matter.Administrator of the SDUGF
