Boss WL-60 Wireless System for Electronic Instruments
I'm going to start with the Pros:
Firstly the Receiver and Transmitter both looks great (the only issue is, being from Boss I would prefer if they were metal not plastic, but that is not really a concern).
The receiver is a compact size and runs off 9V, so it is great for pedalboards. The display is easy to read and has everything you need plus the functions are easy to understand. I also like the options that you can quickly plug a guitar lead into it, if the wireless goes down or you run out of battery life on the transmitter (Although the battery life does seem very good and there is a bar on the receiver which displays it).
The Transmitter is a great size and very light plus is very simple to use. But the attachment for a guitar strap or belt, isn't the best and is a bit thin, although you can easier find a way around this.
The actual sound was really amazing (much better than my current wireless system and more like being plugged directly in to an amp). Also the response time is super quick (I know its only Millisecond compared to my currently wireless system but I could really notice it).
Ok now for the Cons:
There was only one major issue I had with this wireless system and I really hate to say so because I really wanted it to work due to all the features and ease of use etc.
I found that I just couldn't get a good wireless range. I only got 5-10 meters away before the sound would start breaking up or stop (much less than stated) and no good for what I need.
I did try many different things to hopefully solve this issue including: Scanning and selecting different channels. Moving the location of the receiver and transmitter. Testing in a completely open space. Using different equipment/no other equipment. Turning off electronic equipment tec, and many more things.
But unfortunately nothing worked. So because of this I had to return the item.
Although Bax Music were fantastic and made the process of returning very easy and simple. Great Customer service I would Definitely recommend them.
One further point I would like to make is by doing research. I have found that many people have no issues with this item and find that it works great. So maybe for some people it is worth given a go. This is just my own experience.
