A tiny bit of Velcro above and below the input jack and a bit on the top of both sides of the unit and the problem was solved ( nearly invisibly) for $2.39. Good stuff!
I would suggest to anyone still interested despite the "spinning" problem. Buy a short male to female 1/4" extension (all over Amazon) and a KNIFE POUCH (also all over Amazon)... both are cheap and will house the transmitter on your strap.
Xvive makes a strap attachment for their wireless systems that I’m sure would would fit these pretty well and get the unit out of the way and secured on your strap.
Funny, I too did EXACTLY the same, used a small dot of velcro. There are various thickness velcro material and some are less intrusive. And BTW, these B-5RC Wireless systems also worked very well with a digital keyboard, used two systems (stereo) with my Nord Stage 3. Battery life 3+ hours, I'm okay with that too. :-)
Just open up the guitar jack compartment and bend the positive prong in a little - experiment to get the right tension. I've had so many guitars come in for jack repair, and that's all it is
I played a little while ago in front of a 1200 people audience with this and it worked just fine, I played again at a later date and it did start cutting out a little bit, not sure why if it worked the first time.
I play in the church before the mass, then sit and play again after 45 minutes. The mixer sits away from me and no one sit next to it. When I play again after 45 minutes, the unit that’s plugged in my guitar already went into sleep mode, which I’ll press on it to bring it back to life. Fir the unit that’s plugged in the mixer, do I need also someone to press on it to bring it to life, or will it detects that the guitar side is active now and connects back?
Hey David, great video (sub'd as a result) :D I'm looking at these for all live purposes, and I just wondered if your transmitter falling out could also be due to wear on the jack hardware coming loose over time? I know my 1/4 inch jacks on my guitars are all tight as I check them a few times a year and if needed bending the jack pin internally back towa3rds the hole so cables are tight. Thanks for the killer video, always loving honest reviews!
This was very helpful. I play in a metal band that's relatively high energy, and while I don't play guitar in this particular band, I've been looking into getting units for my guitarists. This one, for the money, seems like the only worthy option that's under 500 bucks, and hearing that the dongle-style is indeed not too sturdy, but overall performs very well helps guide my decision. I like what one person said in the comments about using a knife pouch to attach to your strap. Cheap way to secure it without having to ruin the finish on $1500+ guitars lol. What was the other wireless you ended up with and did it outperform the NuX?
can you use a little extension cable and velcro it to your strap? I like the look of the small cable better than this directly to the... nevermind as I was writing this you literally just answered my question lol
i liked your video because you are honest about it but where i dont understand is you would prefer a body pack on the strap which takes more effort to setup. I would just rather put masking tape to secure the unit. And not only the NUX B5RC has this problem of turning around and getting knocked-off by very active players, all wireless unit brand and model of this type does.
I'm gonna put a little piece of velcro on the back and a little piece near the input jack to velcro it into place. I don't care about sticking things on my guitars though but like you said, you don't want to do that, which is understandable
Interesting product but 4h battery life is pretty poor (coming from 12h of the BOSS WL-20). I wonder why the big names in the market (Boss, Line6, Ibanez etc.) are still using the crowded 2.4Ghz frequency...
C'mon boy....!!! Solve the "problem of rotation" by yourself like I did, put a very small piece of velcrum between the folded transmitter and the guitar, and it's done. It will not rotate anymore. I AGREE the we, as buyers and users, have to complain for what is wrong in stuff we buy (for example fucking battery door on lines 6 relay line) but C'MON.... it's cheap and works great, do not complain for things like "they didn't put something to prevent ROTATION" :) :) Let's use our brains to solve the stupid problems by ourselves AND to enjoy affordable products that are working GOOD like this.... and not just to complain about everything. Just my 2 cents, cheers
Dude, I completely lost interest when you said “I’m not going to go into the long cable mode because I’m not interested“… Shame on you for wasting my time and others regarding one of the most important Features of a wireless guitar transmitter. FYI, Guitar tone is important
I’m well aware that guitar tone is important. Which is why I dialed in my tone while using the wireless. Tone tone was built with the capacitance taken into account. Thanks tho. But also, my problems with the wireless had nothing to do with that so I simply don’t care to talk about it. Stop being so dramatic lol you’re acting like a punched you in the face or something. “Shame on you for wasting my time” lmao. Shame on you for being a crybaby
