Has anyone tried one of these with an Axe-FX yet? Seems like a decent inexpensive wireless option for jamming or small venue performances as the range is claimed to be 50ft line of sight.
Which transmitter did you have clipping issues with? I have a few guitars with hot pickups like the JP6 and an Ibanez with DiActivator-XI'm on the verge of buying a boss wl50 but I still wait to find answers about how it manages active pickups which needs mono plug and not trs like the transmitter is and how it manages very high gain pickups like jp dimarzio because I had clipping transmitter issues with 150€ wireless
I've been considering either of these as well.
@voes & @vkinetic - how tight is the XVive's hinge? Does it swing around when it's hanging from your guitar, or does it stay where you put it? And although it says it only has 5 hours, vs the WL-20's 10 hours, I assume neither of you have run into problems at longer gigs?
Good to know, thanks!The hinge is fairly tight - certainly not loose. I think the longest stint I used mine non-stop was about 5 hours and had no problems). But I just make sure that I fully discharge (by leaving on unplugged until the leds go out) and then fully recharge before any gig. And as should be good practise for any gigging musician using any wireless device, I always have a suitable guitar cable just in case. For rehearsals I usually don't worry about making sure it is fully charged - I just use it till the juice runs out and then just use a guitar cable. That's why I know there is no noticeable difference in sound or latency using the XVive as compared to an ordinary guitar cable.
