Perfect

This wireless is the best one I used. And I used a bunch. But the power of this one is amazing ! The built-in tuner is what got me into it. Really happy I got this model. For the most bling bling of us, know that you can also change the color on it !

Solid wireless with good range and audio definition.

Part of the addition to the relay series, features a metal transmitter and receiver that mounts right to your pedalboard. Audio quality does not seem to degrade, even when running pedals after the wireless and into the front of the amp. If you purchase this unit however, download Line 6's corresponding software/firmware updater program, and install the latest firmware for the unit.
