Dude its not tiny when its sticking out of the edge of Les Paul is it.... or out the front of a guitar - straight out. Its vulnerable. Not too bad on a strat, even then it would get in the way - but anything else meh....slash-ed wrote:WL-50 has longer range (20m vs 15m), as well as selectable cable tone (off, short lead, long lead). As Grant says as well, in the event of emergency, no need to pull apart your board, just plug straight in.Scooter13 wrote:I also don't really understand the advantage of the pedalboard version aside from being able to charge the transmitter on stage...which, well if you have to do that you're using a cable for a while anyway. So really you have bulkier version of the transmitter and receiver but taking up pedalboard space? What am I missing?
Haha I'm finding the form factor debate super interesting. For me, I'm like YAY NO BELT PACK but half of you guys be like HOW WILL THIS TINY BUG WITHSTAND MY ROCKSTAR STAGE ANTICS

Re: New BOSS Products coming....
Haha I've used it on my guitars for the past few weeks with little issue (all LP style location, except one awkward behind the body jack). I definitely see your point with things like Jazzmasters which just have a jack output right on the front face of the guitar. Swinging right hand + thing sticking out of body = disaster.
But in general, I've never had issues bumping the cable coming out my guitar so I don't see why this is really any different...
YMMV etc

Why would you need to pull your board apart? Unplug the receiver and plug the cable in...slash-ed wrote: As Grant says as well, in the event of emergency, no need to pull apart your board, just plug straight in.

I was referring to Grant's example of the G30, pedalboard mounted but if you're out of batteries you don't have an emergency input.Scooter13 wrote:Why would you need to pull your board apart?

My mileage doesn't really count as I'm not gigging anyway, just sayin' it's like a pubescent boys cock sticking out when matron tucks him up in bed....slash-ed wrote:Haha I've used it on my guitars for the past few weeks with little issue (all LP style location, except one awkward behind the body jack).

Yeah there's no reason you couldn't use a short extension lead, i'd be a little worried about knocking one on my tele, but I'm sure they've actually real world tested this stuff so it's bound to be solid.

Cool. It's like a modern day version of the TC Electronic G-System but more compact and probably lighter. This will appeal to many I'm sure. I like it already.

As most of my guitars are jack on the outer edge types a flatter, right-angle plug variant would be better for me, but even for home use I'm clumsy enough to easily break one.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Re: New BOSS Products coming....
Thats exactly me. I'm hoping theres a metal core that goes right through it so no snap-offage! Which is probably the case. Even then I'd break the thing on the edge of a guitar.Danger Mouse wrote:Or there's a reason why they sell spares separately ...jeremyb wrote:Yeah there's no reason you couldn't use a short extension lead, i'd be a little worried about knocking one on my tele, but I'm sure they've actually real world tested this stuff so it's bound to be solid.

It would only take one adrian smith stance, with the guitar on your thigh and its gone!
