The best so far...

Aaron's a good dude.

Better than the Sennheiser?

So far it works just as good but I have only used it on two gigs. It is almost half the price though. I know that will be enough for some people to buy one.

What about distance?

All I can say is that on the other side of my apartment the Carvin is better. I haven’t been able to perform a test other than that yet.

Looks to be absolutely identical to the Rifftone M5 available on Amazon for $108.88. https://www.amazon.com/Rifftone-5-8G.../dp/B07MG8TWCS

Looks like the system is also sold under the ZXK CO brand, for $139.99. https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Guit...7447450&sr=8-2

ZXK CO also sells iPhone cases, string lights, and "bunion correctors".

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Ooh, I have some big gigs coming up soon. That might be just what I need - a bunion corrector.

Cheers.

Interesting

It looks like the system is just being distributed by Carvin and has different names in different countries. You may be able to find it cheaper if you look around.

Daniel Grenier 05-10-2019 05:10 AM

And here's one that's only $82! Looks the same. And, how can anyone not buy a product with a name/description like this with such stellar features!

https://www.amazon.com/Accreate-Wire...gateway&sr=8-5

This is the: "Accreate Meideal M5 5.8G Wireless Guitar System Guitar Wireless Audio Transmitter Receiver Electric Digital Guitar System Transmitter Receiver Set".

And it does... "Wireless transmission for products that require a cable...It can save the trouble of the connection line ... You can use the electric guitar and the main control board to achieve the buzzing effect."

Huh???

First of all, much thanks for this excellent, informative review.

As for the cheaper ones in the thread, it's certainly possible they really are identical. That happens all the time. But Amazon also is increasingly flooded with knock-off imitations across all categories, without a doubt including electronics.

This is too early for it to be a knock-off. Plus, it isn’t even popular yet. The cheaper versions are definitely the same thing.

For (equivalent) $75 US, I ordered these 5.8G units: They look exactly the same (save the ugly jack colors) as many other brands that are twice the price, and more. Given the tiny market and "newness" of these things, I highly doubt they'd be worth counter-fitting (yet). Anyway, they are on some slow boat from China and, if they work, it's a small price to pay to lose the always-annoying and in-the-way guitar cables.
