Hey guys, any comment saying "You won and should message us on whats app" is 100% a Scam. Any comment... and I truly mean 100% of comments on youtube that ask you to message them on whatsapp or anything like that are 1000% a scam. You can see messages from me have a grey outline around my name to know it's a response from the person who runs the channel (that's true on any youtube channel). Just beware of scammers... this is all true on any channel/comment section on RU-vid.
Great video as always. Scott you don’t know how much time and money you save for all of us. Straight to the point and with clear options. Always answering the questions. Thank you very much!
Haha you can do that. If you want a higher end wireless, Shure and sennheiser are amazing and I’ve reviewed them multiple times on the channel as well 👍
Awesome video as always, Scott. Getting started with wireless and your videos have helped tremendously. Keep up the great work, and thank you, appreciate the time you put in to your content.
Thanks so much! The is my 3rd video view of wireless guitar systems from your channel. Great quality reviews of various wireless systems. I like/love your approach. Thanks again!
Thanks, Scott. Your reviews are great for us part-time "weekend warrior" musicians who need good gear but don't have the budget for a Shure or Sennheiser type system.
Awesome! Thanks for the comment. That's what I was hoping would help people out! I know some people cannot afford the $900 wireless that I recommend. So I'm glad many people are finding this content helpful!
I need a wireless system so bad! My 3yr old Son keeps tripping over my cords while I practice and record. It's been a battle. I'd be extremely grateful to win this giveaway!
Another great video. I bought the swiff on your recommend and I’ve been happy with it. Solid connection, good range, no lag. Maybe just a little hiss added compared to a wire. But great for the price.
I bought the Lekato Ws-70 from your other video. The extended neck between the plug and the body was the main selling pint for me. It works on an Ibanez bass with active pickups. Other wireless units are too short to connect because of the way Ibanez locates their jacks. I have not had any issues with it.
As a cigar box guitar builder and a ham radio operator your description is spot on. I am looking into building one of these into a stealth electric guitar so I can play with some acoustic nerds I met. They won't let me play anything with a jack ... So wireless lol. They made the rule. 😉
I got the 5ghz wireless Lekato ones, and it KILLS wifi on my iPad, and other transmitter receivers. The NUX B-5RC though have been SOLID. Highly recommended.
I picked up the Lekato WS-70 system based on your reviews. Thanks for all the great info. Recently I got 3 sets of the Lekato/Joyo MW-1 XLR Wireless systems.
Nice! Good choices 🤘 I’m actually reviewing a new wireless XLR by Kimafun on the 902-928mhz spectrum. So far it’s working great. Video should be out within 2-3 weeks on it
The Boss is a solid unit, especially for feel and battery life. But yeah, it drops out a little more than I like. Especially with the price point that it's at. It's too expensive for a 2.4ghz system IMO.
Cheers for this Scott .. had a problem with a wireless mixer / PA a few weeks ago . . We thought the PA was faulty . Didn’t realize it was cutting out every time I switched on my ( cheap :) ) guitar wireless .. well we realized it a few hours after we had to cancel the show :( … would have been great to have seen this video before that happened :) . Keep up the good work .. your Helix videos have been very useful too
Thanks! I did 2 shows in the Netherlands back in 2019. Loved it there! Hopefully we are going back at the end of this year, but no guarantees (it's been rescheduled 3 times now). But hopefully someday!
@@rutgerslijper8858 I'm a hired musician for this one. I'll definitely be posting about it on social media when we do. The band changes their name sometimes lol. It's either "Apsara" or "Deathbed Confessions."
Great videos on wireless. I use wireless systems with bass guitar in a weekend warrior cover band. I started with the Getaria 2.4 but kept clashing with the singer’s wireless system, so went with the 5.8 Getaria system, which worked flawlessly until last Saturday. New venue, first time I got drop-outs with the 5.8, so just picked up the Lekato’s 900Mhz. They sound acceptable in the house with better range, so we’ll see what happens this weekend. Again, thanks for all the great info.
This was great info. Our bass player has the lekato 5.8 system it usually works well but occasionally doesn’t. So our guitarist ended up getting the exact same system. Sometime the 2 systems mess with each other. I would love for my guitarist to get another system
Yup, limited channels are available with these wireless. The more cheap wireless you have all at once, the more likely they are going to get a drop/interference. Especially if everyone is using the same one. Try the Swiff Audio WS 50 on 900mhz range
I currently use the Ammoon 5.8 for active pickups (based off of your review of course). Its on my to-do list to pick up a few more of the other frequencies.
Nice! You got one before they disappeared off of Amazon :) haha. I still have that one, and it's a good unit! The Swiff Audio WS 50 I think would be a good backup for you. Thanks for the comment.
Very helpful stuff. I actually have a PRS SE Piezo that has 2 separate outputs (piezo and mag) and used to have so many dropout problems using just 2.4 wireless systems for both. Per the advice I now use the Boss 2.4 for the mag and NUX 5.8 for my Piezo and it’s worked like a charm (the Swiff Audio is my backup). Thanks for the help!
Love your vids. Found you from your hx stomp vids. I bought the phenyx pro system it really hasn’t worked out for me live but I use it in practice and it’s good there.
@@ScottUhlMusic I had frequent glitches and drop outs if I wasn’t pretty close to the receiver especially if I was back by the drummer with my back turned to the receiver. I tried several channels. Maybe I just got a bad one? Maybe a good video would be showing how easy it is to change channels on the different units. That would probably be a short vid. Thanks again for all you do, I really dig your channel.
@@terryreece4828 hmm... were there a bunch of wireless all in the same area? And did it happen at many venues or just one or 2? There are many different factors... those are the main ones I would watch out for. My drummer and singer use them and have never had a problem with them. They do have less available channels than my expensive Sennheiser system. So it could have just been that all channels were taken where you were. Although a faulty unit is also possible, and PP has a great 1 year warranty!
These videos are great. I've sent a few folks your way that say "I'd love to go wireless but can't afford it." I've actually used my 5ghz Amoon when I couldn't get my Sure wireless to come through clear (no idea why I had so much interference). I found it funny and not that my $60 amazon wireless worked when my $479 Sure system didn't. Great video and info!
I have the Getaria and a Westshell which has the same case as the swiff. I play bass and do not move around much but it is so nice to not have the cord.
Thanks Scott, love your videos. I just ordered the Phenyx PTG-12 and Lekato wireless system before I watched this but sounds like the Phenyx may have issues with other 500mhz if there are many using that frequency. I do have a Sennheiser G3 IEM system that runs in the 500 range. I hope the Lekato doesn't have any issues with my Kemper, I don't use active pickups either.
Thanks for all of your great reviews Scott. I have used some of these wireless systems but the Lekato UHF is the worse when it comes to sound quality. It's high-mid range is so muddy compared to the x-vibe u2 2,4Ghz, the Ammoon 5,8Ghz or a decent cable. I only realized it after destroying (boosting highs and mids) in some great helix presets.
The lekato ws70 right? That one does seem to have the least favorable reviews. It works well for me, as well as a lot of other people. But it does seem to give some people trouble for sure
I purchased a Swiff Audio WS-70 5.8G system on Amazon for $70 and the latency was absolutely terrible. Slapped back as if I was 50 feet or more from my PA system. I tried it back to back with my xvive to be sure I didn’t overlook something with my settings. Almost like over compressing my signal or something. Unusable in a live situation, had to return it… I use it with Alvarez electric acoustic to a Boss ME-6 pedal direct line to the PA system.
Nice! Any of these can take the place of any 1/4” cable. It just depends on the setup/pickup because some give a little bit of a buzz when you play depending on the setup. I let my violin player borrow 2… and 2 of them were clipping in her setup. I have so many of these I cannot remember which ones I lent her. So I would try the Swiff audio WS50 first and make sure it works for you 👍
Definitely will be watching more videos. Just found your channel tonight. Subscribe as well I appreciate the simplicity I have been looking into setting up my own iem system. I have a xr 18. With two phenix pro iems. Last thing I have been looking for is a set of wireless instrument. To be able to allow for less cables during load in and load out. Regardless if I win or not you for sure got a fan. Keep doing your thing
I found the Swiff and its twin, Westshell, to add a high volume of white noise the signal. I've recently tried two of the less expensive sets, from Lekato and Kmise, and they also added a whoosh of white noise, not quite as much as Swiff, but too much. I have an Ammoon and a Koogo Golden Plug, bought in 2019 and 2020, and they're both nearly silent. Hard to find a quiet system in the cheap stuff. While the Line 6 Relay G10, of which I have two, is dead silent (but not as convenient, as it requires a base unit attached to the amp).
I think the white noise really all depends on everyone’s setup. Literally every setup is different and everyone has different results with these because of it. That’s why I always say “Try it out right away and return it if it doesn’t work.” And if you don’t want to mess with cheap stuff, save up $350-$400 and get an entry level Shure/SENNHEISER wireless
Thanks for all your work posting these reviews 😊. I'm having distortion issues with the Boss WL20 and my passive mandolin pickup ... so might try Brian Fay and Swiff WS70. I'm keeping 5G band free for the tablet mixer.
5G does decently well because there are more available options for those frequencies than 2.4ghz. So you can still do a 5.8 system, just leave it away from your mixer 🤘The NUX systems are supposed to work well with active pickup type situations too 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic Thanks. I got the ammoon 5.8, like yours, but when plugging straight into a Behringer XR18 on gig one Day... the tablet disconnected. (Using 5.8 modem). So my advice would be to leave the 5.8 for the digital mixer.
Yeah if it’s right into the mixer, that might cause dropouts. It’s a finicky game with some of these wireless for sure, and it involves trial and error 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic understand you mentioned the NUX B5RC works for acoustic, but what about the C5RC (same in your experience)? Did you have any issues with its TRS style jack that has a battery ground? Cheers
Great great content Scott! I just stumbled on to your vids. Subscribed ! I have the Xvive with 2 transmitters(A/B for different tunings). All seems to be working well but figured it could not hurt to have a backup and a different frequency range and I am getting the Swiff. If I wanted 2 transmitters would I have to buy 2 separate units? I did not see an option to buy just 1 transmitter. If I did buy 2 units, do you know if I would have any issues? When using the Xvives I basically turn the transmitter off and turn the other on when switching and it works just fine. Thanks!
Good choice with the Swiff! That's a good question actually. I only have 1 transmitter and 1 receiver for every single one of these cheap systems that I use. So I'm honestly not sure. My guess is with the swiff audio one it won't work... with that one, it auto pairs to each other. Whereas with the XVive or other ones you choose channel 1, 2, 3 or 4... so you can set them manually. So my guess is you'll need one where you can set the channel manually.
My singer/guitarist just bought one and he loved it (cool design), but unfortunately he left it in his backpack weird and it broke haha. But it was a cool unit until that happened!
I don't think I get drop outs in particular, as much as I get pops and crackles through the system. Do you think that means I am on the wrong channel or frequency? Great video by the way.
Hmm… “pops and crackles” sound like something different. Sometimes I get that, but not often. Usually interference is when it cuts out. When you change the channel does it go away?
@@ScottUhlMusic on The Phenyx Pro PTG-12 I can’t ever tell what channel it’s on. I also have the Sennheiser Ew G4 which also gets those crackles sometimes but is way more reliable. I just wish it had the form factor of the phenyx Pro. Sennheiser also makes their “cheaper” ($300) instruments pick up but those Always fail on me probably because they are 2.4. I need something pro for big stages that doesn’t have me attached to my violin by bodypack. Like the Phenyx but more reliable. What’s the best unit for that in your opinion?
@@PhearNone7 If you need something for big and pro stages, you gotta spend the money. The Swiff Audio is a good cheap one... but when I play the bigger shows it's my sennheiser every time. This is the one I recommend: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rWVF0tv8zCM.html If you want to save a little money, this one is also good depending on how many wireless are on stage at once: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k5OM4GUJNvQ.html
Having a great experience with the 5.8 from Lekato. That system with the UHF from Lekato full the needs for me. Now if I can win the giveaway, I'm covered! Another great video. Thx for putting these out there
I had the G10 and it died on me within 3 months. Was looking at the G10S until I stumbled upon your videos. I'm going to try the Amoon first. Although they are not available on Amazon anymore I have noticed that you can purchase them from Walmart.
I have that 5.8GHz Ammoon wireless. It works great with my GTRS guitar. My Lekato WS-70 does something strange to the attack of the notes, like a slow attack gate or something. I don't like that one much. The Boss WL20 is very reliable and rock solid for me. I might get another Ammoon in case anything happens to the one I have already.
