That's the way it appears. I don't have any inside knowledge. Their website spec says "support for multiple instruments" or something like that, implying each could have a transmitter on its own channel.

I feel like you are right. I seem to remember with the original this was possible as well since the receiver would scan for the best channel. Hopefully it can be used this was though.

I think they indented for the selector switch to manually choose the channel while the bug is docked in the base. I guess someone with multiple bugs could test to see if they can be program selected for the same base. That would certainly be an added benefit I hadn't considered. My presumption is that they designed the manual selector for use in a band situation where multiple players are using the systems. Incidentally, would you mind weighing in on my theory that these systems provide both a preamp (high frequency preservation) and impedance matching benefit?

I just did some reading online about the original and it appears that only one transmitter can be used at a time. I think you are right, the switch is just so you can manual switch channels to guarantee that you are on different frequencies than someone else in the band. A bummer but I still want this for my rig.
Actually come to think of it, the G10 transmitter when pulled from the jack, does not make a pop sound as it has a silent unplug feature. I was planning to use maybe two electrics on stage with two transmitters into the same base but it's probably just as easy to simply unplug the single G10 transmitter and plug it into the next guitar when I make the switch. |

Regarding your theory, I would agree. This system functions as a wireless preamp that would indeed preserve highs (and lows), and make the final destination impedance irrelevant. That is a plus for those with impedance sensitive pickups.

I am installing the Anthem in one of my guitars this weekend. If it has issues with the G10 then I might just use the G10 with my mandolin and octave mandolin and stay wired when playing acoustic. I am really just trying to cut down how much crap I have on stage! |

I hope that the unit does support multiple transmitters, allowing it to act as a selector. That would be a great added benefit.

I just tried my original G10 with my active Godin A8 mandolin and active octave mandolin with a headway pickup. Godin was 100% quiet, the OM unfortunately had the interference. I tried the TRS adapter but it didn't help. I guess with these systems, it's all about using them with electric guitars or passive acoustic pickups. Not sure why it's working so well with the Godin.
