The transmitter and receiver can also be charged separately, and a micro USB cable is included for charging. For those street gigs or mobile performances you can run the receiver for up to 10 hours on two AA batteries. The top nut also plays a big part in the action of your guitar so we'll hit that sweet spot between too low and too high. Update 15 April 2019: One risk point is that if you leave the dongle in the charging position, but disconnect the charger (for example for transport) .

And with the ability to roam and interact with other musicians, your live shows will be more dynamic and entertaining than ever. If the point of a unit is to be more convenient than a cable while maintaining the reliability, this unit falls short.The small transmitter plugs into your instrument, while a matching receiver plugs into a pedal or amp.

There’s a power output on the back so when powering it via mains, you can run a daisy chain out of it to power other pedals. The stompbox-sized receiver even contains a DC output to distribute power to connected pedals and keep your signal strong throughout your pedalboard. By using an optional PCS-20A daisy-chain cable, you’re able to power a number of BOSS compact pedals at the same time.

Up to 14 BOSS wireless systems can be used simultaneously in one space, allowing multiple musicians to enjoy wireless freedom at the same time (Environmental conditions may affect the actual number of simultaneous systems available). It works well - audio quality is great, I don’t feel any difference compared to playing with the cable. There are reasons why the dock will not charge the receiver outlined in the manual, namely for battery preserving reasons, but this instance is absent. But don’t worry—you can still charge it using a common USB adaptor (5 V/500 mA or higher), the same type used with most smartphones and tablets.The system’s streamlined profile is maintained even when the transmitter is docked, with a total height that’s about the same as a normal BOSS stomp. It will then go through an inspection checklist and is checked again for quality and playability by two more members of staff.
