    I’ve used this almost daily for a week or so and zero issues. I’ve walked a pretty good distance from the receiver without any problems. I’ve used cheaper wireless systems in the past and this unit can receive signal at least twice as far. Battery life hasn’t been a problem either.

    This transmitter has worked wonderfully for me. Completely quiet when I plug in and disconnect. I had an issue with the unit not charging my transmitter properly. Turns out this was because in order to charge, the base unit needs 320 mA. The circuit that I had this plugged into in my voodoo labs ISO 5 was only delivering 100 mA. When I switched over to a circuit that delivered 400 mA, charging worked fine. You can also charge the transmitter with a USB cable which is convenient. I bought this unit because of the convenience of charging through the 12 V power source in my pedal board, it’s working seamlessly. Roland’s support was awesome prompt and extremely helpful in sorting the shop.

    Seit 40 Jahren spiele ich mit Kabel zwischen Gitarre und Amp. Bin schon ein Duzend Mal beim Gig oder Probe aufs Kabel getreten, schn peinlich mitten im Solo. Ein Umstieg auf einen Sender war mir zu viel Gefummel, immer mit einer Box am Gurt. Zudem hatte ich Sorge vor Klangverlusten oder Signalabbrchen. Nun war mal wieder mein schnstes und teuerstes Kabel defekt. Wieder stand ich vor der Entscheidung und hab es gewagt und das System von Boss bestellt. Und was soll ich sagen, keinen Klangverlust, keine Aussetzer, maximale Bewegungsfreiheit, einfacher Gitarrenwechsel, super.
    Das Koppeln geht einfach und von alleine. Sender in das Gert, automatische Kalibrierung in 10 Sekunden, rein in die Gitarre und los.
    Gitarrenwechsel – Abziehen (kein Knacken oder Brummen), in die neue Gitarre rein und Spielen.
    Eine Akkuladung des Senders hlt mindestens einen Auftritt/Bandprobe/Abend. Wenn abgezogen, verbraucht der Sender fast keinen Strom. Aufgeladen wird entweder durch Einstpseln in den Empfnger oder Micro-USB.
    Der Sender lsst sich entweder mit Batterien betreiben (nicht im Lieferumfang) oder Netzteil. Achtung: Mir ist es nicht gelungen, das Gert mit einem meiner flexiblen Netzteile zu betreiben. Ich habe mir daher noch das passende Boss Netzteil dazu bestellt. Das ist richtig gut und kann auch noch andere Effektgerte mit versorgen.
    Ich hin sehr zufrieden und kaufe mir noch eins fr zu Hause. Da ist es auch schn, ohne Kabelgewirr im heimischen Umfeld zu spielen, ohne mit dem Drehstuhl ausversehen wieder bers Kabel zu rollen.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI was skeptical at first, not with the quality and performance but whether it will mess with my Wifi at home and vice versa. Been using it a lot. So far, no issues. Battery life is also great for three to four hours of playing, holding up great.

    No sound degradation whatsoever. Only thing, creeps me out that I still move and turn like trying to avoid stepping on a cable that’s simply not there anymore well, I think I can put up with that little incovenience lol

    So Far Sooo Goood!!!

    product works great in single room and in direct sight of pedal unit, signal doesn’t travel through walls !
    made of plastic ? Boss are usually so robust and solid , I can’t understand why they have made everything out of plastic ?

    I’ve been playing for 25 years. I’ve always used leads. This has changed my life. Now I can run around the stage much to the annoyance of my band members. I can dive into the crowds, run and get kisses from adoring groupies, or head backstage to open a bottle of vodka during the set. Thank you boss, you’ve changed the world!

    Was looking for a secondary wireless for my rig and took a chance on the Boss system. Very cool that the receiver is shaped like a typical Boss pedal, as that makes it a very easy additional to your pedalboard. Sound quality is excellent on this unit. Nice range too. I easily get over 50 feet away from the receiver with no drop outs. Impressed with the tone and range. Thumbs up!

    I have this powered with the Boss PSA adaptor that I use for my Boss ME-80 effects board. I purchased the optional daisy chain cable (Boss) from Amazon so can power the ME-80 from the WL-50 DC output. Use the transmitter on a Fender Strat and Fender 12-string and 6-string. All work perfectly as if were connected by leads. No discernible difference using either. No delay from 10m distance. Great product for my studio work. No cables to fall over or get tangled up.

    I use this on my main pedal board I use for gigs and band rehearsal. Excellent battery life, fantastic range, all I need to move freely about a stage, and no appreciable latency that I can notice. Super easy to set up, and typical of Boss products, really solid build that will stand up to the demands of playing gigs. Very pleased with this system.

    does not fit engage snugly as the Teley Ultra jack input is too deeply recessed into the guitar body so works loose and I have had to use a male female extender cable as a work around. Fits fine in a Strat or acoustic jack. Its the Fender design not the Boss.

    Best product when talking wireless. Compared to the line 6, its better in battery life, doesn’t have that issue with the power jack connection. It has in out power connection thus it does not need an additional power connection.
    The tone cable option is very cool
    Quality is great. Only issue is that it does not auto switch off if no use, also transmitter needs to be removed from the base if not used otherwise the battery will drain.
    Overall. Its a great device
    Highly recommend

    I am really loving this wireless setup, but let me clarify that I’m a living room guitarist. So easy to use, and I love that the unit chargers the transmitter, and powers my tuner pedal as well, really cleans up my play area nicely. Very happy with my purchase, a bit expensive, but they thought of everything.

    I sent back the other cheap ass wireless system i had and got this instead. Works perfectly with all my boss pedals in a daisy chain and powers them all via the boss power supply. Sound is perfect. Would be better if the unit on the guitar folded in as it sometimes hits the ground when i put my guitar down. this will obviously depend what type of guitar you have. My main is a Rickenbacker 330 JG so if you have a guitar that has the output in the side then you need to be a bit more careful (eg les paul, ricks, gretsch )

    Great bit of kit though.

    It doesn’t get any easier than this! It mounts on you pedalboard, and the transmitter seems to fit just about any guitar! I have tried others, and many did not fit on my Strats. I would have to rig-up an extension and try to attach it to my strap. Not this one! It fits all of my guitars and basses. Sound quality is great on any of my axes. Acoustic, passive electric, active electric, all work and sound great! When you are not using it, the transmitter plugs into the base to charge. I haven’t had a chance to test distance or battery life, but otherwise this is a great addition to my pedalboard.

    This thing is awesome. It doesn’t seem to work with acoustic guitars (at least it didn’t with mine). When I tried it with my electric/acoustic it crackled and popped badly. It does say in the manual that it doesn’t work well with acoustics, but I tried it anyway. However, it works perfectly with all of my electric guitars, and I can get a solid wireless signal from up to about 40-50 feet away from the unit. It’s awesome not having to deal with the cable hanging from your guitar. I was skeptical, but I’ve been using it for about four months now and I love it.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersNo cable, no problem. Fits nicely on my pedal board and the battery life seems very good. The sound quality is fabulous no worries there. Some say there are problems when trying to use it with an acoustic but I haven’t experienced that. I recommend this bit of kit as it is very good and the sound quality is great BUT I have deducted a star because it is well over 100 which I feel is rather expensive. Also if you have one of those guitars with an odly located jack socket you could run into trouble, likewise with tremolo arms. Having said all that this is darn good.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our Usersjust wrote a review on the boss system by mistake… the boss system is the one that I purchased after having two BAD Line 6 Relay G10s. so consider this a correction.. The Boss system works as advertised and I’m very happy with it… I have no issues and have not reached a point during a gig where the transmitter lost power. I’m a happy customer.. As for the Line 6 Unit, I’d still like to have my money back over that horrible product… two units, both bad… and a recall… will NEVER buy ANY product from Line 6… ever!!!

    I absolutely love this. I wanted to wait a while to give a review after I used it multiple times. I love the freedom of not being tied to a cord. Does not affect the sound quality whatsoever. Would highly recommend.

    Wasn’t sure how this thing was going to work but it does just fine. I love being free of the board and the amp. I’ve even used it hooked straight to the amp without any pedals and it works well. I haven’t used it with batteries yet but I’m sure it’ll do fine.

    After using this Boss wireless for over a year I can give u an honest review on durability and battery life. My unit hast been used for practices and gigs since purchasing and I have not had one problem. It is easy to set up and use. The battery life has been twice as long as my band mates who have a big name competitors brand. So if you are looking for a dependable wireless unit this is definitely one to consider.

  34. CelsaFitzsimons says:

    This thing is awesome! Love the cable tone adjustment, really adds warmth and realism to the whole thing. And the latency, I can’t even tell. It’s almost instant. Barely feel a difference between this and a cable.

    The only thing to be careful for is acoustic electric stuff. So fair warning, I am using this on my Taylor 12e acoustic electric guitar. It works PERFECTLY on that but some people report getting audible clicking noises. I am not experiencing those. It differs from brand to brand when it comes to active preamps.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersHave used this wireless system for a few outdoor gigs. It’s easy to use – just plug in and play. The batteries last for at least several hours. No issues with the sound quality or the connectivity so far. This is a good model to get if you don’t anticipate other musicians on the stage with you using the same system. Otherwise it would probably better to get alternative models that would enable you to set specific frequencies.

    I bought this so I can have freedom on stage to move around and the unit cannot be easier to use. I just wish it had a battery indicator other than one light to see how much battery is on there. Almost 4 small lights to see how much is left or how much charge the unit has in it. Using one light is not enough detail.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersSame size as any other boss pedal? Check.
    Great battery life? Check (I’ve gone 7+ hours playing before/after multiple services and through rehearsals without needing to plug it in)
    Backup plug-in capable? Check (I’ve never needed it, but it’s nice to have).

    This pedal is small and works great with my strat. The feeling of freedom with no cable is MASSIVE and takes one more thing to worry about (kicking cables back after moving around) off of my mind.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI get fed up tripping over cables. This is easy to set up and I have found no difference in sound quality. I found two boss models on Amazon and I picked this because its easier to charge up (Plug transmitter into receiver, attach mains and it charges up). Plenty of time to play before recharging. It easily gets you through the night. I used it for rehearsals for 6 hours before recharging and it still had juice in it. The main light changes colour when it needs charged and that hasn’t happened yet.
    However the main test is freedom of movement and I cant fault it yet. I moved around whilst playing and found no difference in sound quality. Also, all pedals work fine. Its placed at the start of your pedal board with all effects added after it. There is also an input socket as well as an output to next pedal (or amp). This then means that if you see the low charge light come on and don’t want to take a chance, you can then plug in a normal cable between guitar and the receiver. This then overrides the receiver and you can play as you would normally.
    Excellent bit of kit.

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our UsersThis Boss WL-50 is truly a great wireless unit after two days of use (I’ll try to revisit after a couple months). The instrument dongle charges IN the base unit (that itself is just about the size of a regular boss pedal). The base unit ALSO can act as a multi-pedal power supply if you have a daisy chain power cable. The wireless signal is strong even from 60 feet, which was impressive. There’s a buffer of sorts on the base unit that changes the sound ever-so-slightly from “long cable” to “short cable”. It didn’t make much difference with my setup. Its powered by 2 AA batteries or a 9v power supply (not included). All in all, this is absolutely worth the price tag. It’s every bit as good and quality as any shure instrument wireless unit that cost four and five times as much. Don’t think about it. Just buy this thing!
