Plug the transmitter directly into any XLR dynamic microphone and the receiver into a mixer, powered speaker or XLR ready source. Lest we forget that during sound check you can now listen to your tone out front and hear what the audience will be hearing. Since their introduction in 2018, BOSS wireless products have quickly become a mainstay in the industry.

From the easy to use bug-style WL-20 all the way up to the top of the line WL-60, as well as the simple snap-on WL-30XLR wireless mic system for vocalists, there’s something for everyone!

At street gigs and other mobile performance situations, running your pedals on battery power is often the best choice. The guitarists here at Sweetwater have found that it's as easy to use as your standard guitar cable. Andertons Music Company is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, firm registration number 716155.

It runs off a regular 9V power supply (Boss recommends you use their PSA-S plug, but any decent unit will do the job), so you don’t need to start running different plugs into your board, though you can also run it using a pair of AA batteries. Driven by new BOSS technology, the WL-50 delivers premium sound and a plug-and-play experience that eliminates all the hassles normally associated with wireless systems. It includes built-in cable tone simulation, which reproduces the natural capacitive effect that’s introduced when using a 10-foot/3-meter guitar cable with passive pickups.

There are far less expensive options on the market but I've had good luck with BOSS products in the past so the premium was worth it for me. A couple of minor concerns with the WL-50 is that some guitars with certain active pickups might need a stereo to mono jack converter; otherwise there may be some interference or it might not work at all. Just dock the transmitter in the receiver, wait about 10 seconds, and then plug the transmitter into your instrument. Symptoms and their causes for respective different specifications, along with remedies, are highlighted below. I use wireless set up from another brand, but if Boss made something similar, I'm sure I would give them a try as well.

Only good feedback for the moment: Sound is the same as with cable, you can select the "missing cable compensation" with an off-short-long switch (I do not hear the difference with my old ears). Another handy little feature on the transmitter of the WL-50 is that there’s a tiny on/off button that’s depressed when plugged into a guitar input.

But with WL-60, you can use any instrument cable, and in fact, a high-quality 2-foot BOSS cable is already included with it.

Designed to plug into your pedalboard chain, the WL-50 offers uncompromising tone, low latency performance and a stress-free setup for your live show or studio recording rig. The small transmitter plugs into your instrument, while a matching receiver plugs into a pedal or amp. The WL-20L also works great with passive pickups if you don’t need the subtle treble roll-off provided by cable tone simulation. The advantage is that I have to charge only the dongle for guitar side and do not need the USB power feed. The detection conditions when the transmitter changes to standby mode differ according to the device used.Update Nov 2019: I have now a pedal board, where the WL-50 is placed at the entry of the pedal chain - this is just perfect.
