I am joining a band where everyone is wireless. Any suggestions for a Wireless Solution that I can walk into Guitar Center and pick up that works without many flaws? |

a long time ago i had a Nady Wireless system. used it once, went back to reliable wires.
i've heard nothing but great things about the Line 6 line of transmitters. they even make pedalboard-friendly ones! heck, if i had extra $$ i'd invest in one! plus their digital, i believe, so no signal degregation or squelching that's found in some analog... i'm pretty sure.

I'm going to invest in a wireless myself, and I'm weighing my options. Right now I've heard a lot of good things about the Brace wireless system, so I'm leaning in that direction.

I've had no problems with my X2 rackmount, although it only sees use during live shows. When it comes to wireless I have NO experience at all with separate brands. Although I have heard lots of hype regarding the new Relay systems L6 has out. Could the hype be true? 2.8gHz or whatnot digital frequency transmission? |

I played the Line6 next to the Brace Audio....and sorry but the Brace was clearer, better tone and didn't color your sound. For the $ it is a best buy. Only advantange of Line6 is distance 150' to Brace 100'....Both are good buy the way but the Brace gives you the more truest tone.
Good Luck.

I have also made 90 degree cables for this one. I just think they look cleaner, not a problem with the cable. http://www.guitarcenter.com/Shure-SL...99-i1126676.gc
