“Plenty of great functionality to make your life easier and assuage any fears of signal or battery loss”: Boss WL-50 review

A Boss WL-50 wireless system on a pedalboard.

Guitar wireless systems are freeing, but they also come with a sense of anxiety. Will I pick up interference on stage? Is my transmitter going to die minutes before I go on stage or even worse, mid-way through the set?

If you’re thinking about freeing yourself from the grasp of your guitar cable, then you’ll have considered getting yourself a wireless system. There’s a lot of choice on offer nowadays and many systems are well within the grasp of the average guitar player, with one such reasonably priced option being today’s subject, the Boss WL-50.
