I think I am going to take the plunge on this unit. Seems to have everything I could need.

EW 172 G2 Article No. 21404

Signal-to-noise ratio > 110 dB(A)
THD, total harmonic distortion < 0,9 %
In compliance with ETS 300422 , ETS 300445 , CE , FCC
Antenna connector 2 BNC, 50 Ohm

I was also looking at the Shure ULXP14 unit, but the price is much better on the Sennheiser, with pretty much the same specs, except for the frequency range. I mainly play 4 string right now.

I am still confused to how I run this to my pedal board?

Well, the G2 is a half rack unit. It has both 1/4" and XLR outputs. From the way I look at it, you have a couple of options. You can:

1. Find some way to velcro the receiver to your existing pedal board, and make sure you have an extra plug for the the ac adapter

2. run the receiver into your head (or your preamp), and run your pedals in the efx loop (assuming you have one). Of course, not all pedals can handle the effects loop...

But to answer your question, you use the 1/4" output on the receiver, and plug it into the first pedal on your pedal board. It has a option to change the output level, so you won't have to worry about that.

I'm sure others will chime in with perhaps better answers, but this is what I can think of this early in the morning.

It's a great unit by the way!

That seems like a good way to go. I will probably run the chain like this:

Sennheiser
Boss TU-2
DOD 250
Boss CEB-3 Chorus
Trace Elliot Compressor
Sansamp SBBDI
Amp

Thanks for your help.
