Flawless

I have absolutely loved this pedal tuner/wireless combo. I've completed a few tours with this in my rig and have had absolutely no issues with interference or cutting out.

The added bonus is that i can set the tuner to 432hz, which is a requirement for all of our songs. Great job shure for building a quality product that is an absolutely tank on the road.

Game Changer

I quit using traditional guitar cables years ago. Now I can't even rehearse with one without getting tied up. I've had several wireless systems over the years but the tone & range on this unit is one of the best I've heard. Plus, with it's small footprint, rugged construction, built-in tuner/mute, and rechargeable transmitter, this is the wireless to have on your pedalboard.

Reliable Wireless Guitar System

I have it now for a couple of years. When I bought a second transmitter I had some action in updating the old package to the new software.
