Hi,
I've been looking for a wireless system for a while now. At recent gigs I was using both an electric and an acoustic guitar with the AxeFX.
To make sure that I don't get a REALLY nasty sound if I should accidentially still have plugged in the acoustic while tripping over my pedal board and changing to a high gain preset :-x I connected the acoustic guitar to the 2nd input and use the FXL block on the patch.
So... If I want to keep it that way, I guess I'd need two separate wireless systems. I had a look at the Line6 stuff, the Sennheisers and a few others, but those and the (elegant, really small but expensive) Stageclix systems are the main options for now.
The point is, that if I have to get two systems, I'll have to shell out 600 - 1000$ or even more. Is there a good, reliable system that is
- comparably small (smaller than 1 rack unit)
- good build & sound quality, preferably digital
- at a decent price
- that does stereo?
For now, my assumption is that 2x Line6 G30 is the most affordable option, but I read that the plastic battery compartment door has a tendency to break. And I'd rather pay a few bucks more than to look where I dropped my batteries during a guitar solo at a gig...
As far as I understand, I could get two senders and use the same frequency for one receiver, but then I'd have to be really careful to always make sure the acoustic guitar sender is turned off when switching (to overdriven) presets. Or I could use just one system, which means I'll have to switch belt packs all the time.
Do you guys have an elegant solution for that?
Thanks
Mat
