    This was the first wireless unit I bought so I wasn't too sure what to expect and what not to. I bought it in June of 2009 and have used it ever since, it only took some slight tweeking with my EQ on the amp and the gain adjustments on the transmitter and everything sounded perfect in my ear, I've never had it cut or drop out while playing, it's got great range, I was messing around one day and walked around the block andonly got a slight delay in my sound. I've used it live many times and normally practice with it. I use it for a bass and it transmits my low end amazingly. I think it was worth the money.

  • What more could you want.

    I just bought this wireless system today at Guitar Center and Giged with it tonight. All I can say is WOW this thing ROCKS. The sound is about as close to a cable as you are going to get and the setup was a no brainer, put the batteries in, pluged it in, adjusted the gain on the transmitter reset the EQ on the amp and we were rock'n ten min. tops. No dropouts all night long no static no pops no noies just pure clean tone. I do not know why anyone would want to pay more for a wireless system.

    this system was really great. just got it as a gift for christmas and its amazing. i tested it out and was able to walk down the street about 100 yards before it even started cutting out. i give it a 5/5 stars because there was nothing wrong with it (as long as you don't switch channels). makes you look like a pro playing live too. i just hook the transmitter on my back pocket and its good to go. fantastic.

  • Not worth it

    Great unit hasn't dropped out even once and has a good range. The only thing I didnt like is the flimsy belt clip on the remote pack and the fact that the body pack is made of plastic. That makes me a little nervous. Have owned it for about one month and no problems or breakage so far. I've dropped the body pack a couple times and it seems to be holding up.

  • GREAT!!!

    Fantastic unit. My only problem with it is that the body pack is plastic. I wish that they would have made this out of steel like the rack unit.
