Basically nothing. Or sometimes they squeal a little bit, but they definitely don't transmit the guitar signal to the receiver, at least in any way it can interpret when it gets there. I know there are some non-wifi units that work fine with active electronics. I don't know what the ZKK is - the Xvive is my introduction and only experience with wireless. Not an issue for me, though - I more or less never plug in my acoustics...

This is the one I've been using. It's in a band 5.8ghz that is relatively new and appears to be a variant of a device that is name branded and several other brands selling the same thing.

5.8 GHz is supposed to be more resistant to interference and have slightly lower latency.

So I know they are more expensive but does anyone have experience with the Boss WL-20?

Thanks - good to know. If I ever start plugging my acoustic in enough to matter, maybe I’ll look into a system like that. For now, the Xvive works great with my electrics...

I've used the YKZ mentioned above with my old 90s Jackson active electronics, my old Ovation from the 90s with active current LR Baggs element and true mic, Schatten active,. My passive setup on my Yamaha SA 2200 and several others. It has no issues with any of them.
