Thanks, I just ordered a 5.8GHz Getaria off Amazon $64.99
It looked like one of the knock-offs mentioned in an earlier post.

A local duo (two vocals, two guitars) that plays all over the place uses Getaria.

As I mentioned on Page 1, that's the one I've been using for a few years now

it's been rock solid.

I use boss wl60 because it takes pedalboard power or batteries.
But you can try lots of wireless systems for the bosses $300 price.
The boss is a system for boss lovers. Good luck and fun in your search!

Reviving an older thread.

There's a deal on the Getaria GWS-26 (5.8GHz) for just under $55 bucks.

At this price figured it was time to try it out!

I used a line6 g75 for about a year til it fell apart (internal) at which point I switched to the Wingo 5.8gHz

https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/line-6-relay-g75

https://www.amazon.co.uk/5-8GHz-Wire.../dp/B07RDN3WWL

Wingo is v similar to Getaria.

I used both on active and passive systems with no issue and insignificant tonal loss.

I have already posted about my love for the Line 6 G10, but apparently the new G10TII works with active pickups, which was the only downside of the original. The crappy part is that it seems to be out of stock everywhere. I will have to give it a try when I see it in stock.

There’s a new system about to drop that I’m excited for. Will post a video if it works out.

I received the Getaria system and it works great! I haven't done extensive comparison to cable yet.

Sounds clear and clean .. I hear no added noise or hiss.
Easy to use and no cable clutter ..
Well worth the stupid low price.

It is smaller than I thought too (3.5" x 1 5/8") and stays in the guitar perfectly.
Works well with the Martin road series since it has separate end pin and jack.

I can tell you about two. Line 6 G10 works fine, but requires a cord from base to amp, and transmitter is rigid (unhinged) juts out about 2”, and if you sit while playing, is prone to breakage.

The Nu-X B5RC is two fobs that plug into amp and guitar (no cable needed) and it folds over nicely flush on guitar, much less likely to get jammed and break. It also has a case with a power sink to charge fobs 3x before it needs charged. (Via usb or wall adapter)

I have used this one for several years and it's in the same price range as the gitaria.

You will also note it looks shockingly similar to the carvin and boss and several others and likely comes off the same assembly line.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KPBVCKJ...ing=UTF8&psc=1

I also have a Nux that came with my Mighty Air amp and g10 from line 6 that I run with my Yamaha thr30ii.

The Nux and the g10 both have more noise than the cheap 5.8ghz.

The Nux has some issues with some of my active pickups where it picks up noise unless you position it correctly and / or use a 90degree adapter to move it away from the endpin jack some.

The g10 is flaky and has charging issues poor battery life and doesn't always turn on and if you do some online searches you will see this is a very common set of complaints for this set.

So overall the cheaper Zkk just works better for me for everything and has better range.

The ability for the other two to dock in the amp and then just plug in one side is nice though.

Reeeeeally happy with my Boss WL-50 set-up, but it's the only system I've ever used (for about a year). Don't know what took me so long -- going wireless is awesome. I play solo and in a band, using it with my Composite Acoustics GX with a Fishman active PU system, as well as with a Telecaster and a Collings mandolin (both with passive systems) and they all sound great.

I’m very pleased with the Lekato 5.8 ghz. Very inexpensive and zero hum. Played a 3 hr gig with them last night and had forgotten to recharge them from another 1 hr gig.

Agreed! I just picked up the Lekato 5.8GHz on Amz last week for under $60 and they are excellent! Better than the Getaria that I mentioned earlier in this thread.
