Questions & Answers

It is clear that the boss is somewhere - What is the capacity of the 20l? Are some of their products popular in Taiwan, or in China?

The case might be true, but I think Boss is very picky about the Additionally, Boss' customer support is great in the event of a problem. It is a pleasure every year for me to attend Boss and Winter NAMM.

Will the sound of my electric guitar be the same through the WL 20l as it will be through the WL ?

features a cable emulator which changes signal frequencies so that the regular cable is no longer audible. In my opinion, this is best for electric guitars with passive pickups due to the attenuation of a certain tonal range, while bass and acoustic guitars with active pickups will also work fine. As far as I know, I haven't heard a comparison, but capacitors are used as "high pass" filters. Thus, I would assume that capacitors affect Tinny is probably the best way to describe your voice.

If you put them together and charge them with a single cable, do you charge them separately?

You can charge both of them simultaneously with just a single cable if you place them together

Selected User Reviews For BOSS WL-20L Wireless Guitar System Transmitter and Receiver for Acoustic or Electric Guitar and Electronic Instruments (WL-20L)

The active pickups, which are included with many acoustic guitars, do not work well with this
3/5

I bought this primarily to use with my active pickup acoustic guitars. doesn't work well with active pickups, so you shouldn't buy it if that's a deal killer for you. I have a battery pack connected to the input jack, and I can hear a constant tick-tock. I'll tick-off I have a ticking noise coming out of the amp/soundboard. If I put a dead 9v battery in the guitar, the transmitter/receiver works fine. With the exception of the active system on the guitar, I'm not using it anymore. My 12 string has an Anthem transducer/piezo pickup, and its grounding is not compatible with it, resulting in a noticeable squeal. Because I am acting as ground, if I touch the transmitter when it is in position, the squeal goes away. My squeal is greatly reduced if I clip a metal capo on the guitar's neck knob or input jack. There is an EQ I can apply to a soundboard, but that affects the overall quality of the sound. Using this transmitter and receiver combo with a passive magnet pickup is very effective. It has a great range, good sound quality and long-lasting batteries. But you have to pay attention to what you're going to use it for before buying it. I just wanted to point out I was unable to use a short TSR cable between the guitar and transmitter. These will be kept because I like humbuckers with my archtop, which has a floating pickup. It's totally worth the money if you want to use it.

As soon as it was delivered, it worked great
5/5

The WL-23 is what I purchased An active bass can be used with a 20L. In the beginning, everything went according to plan. I have used them for several weeks now, but the last couple of times, they broke up after 30 minutes of use, and this isn't acceptable. All units were fully charged before each gig, so unless they hold a charge from more than 30 minutes, they are ready to use Other devices and similar objects on the stage may be interfering with the proceedings, but none have been found so far. After using a cable for some time, I have gone back to using it again. It was a complete waste of money to buy 20L.

According to the description, the work was completed
3/5

Since I have had it for a while now, it has never failed to charge or pair. The Latency of this website is non-existent There is even at the fringes of its existence. The device has been used for at least six hours without incident, and the sound coming out is the same as what goes in. The sound I hear does not have any coloration. Please note that.

The amp does not pair easily with this device
3/5

I have no trouble with the regular W20 model for electric guitars, it pairs quickly and turns on without any issue. Maybe this is just with the W20L model. Charged to full capacity, they pop once plugged in to the amplifier, then they stop working. I have to put them together, plug them into the charger for just a short time, and try my luck It takes a while, but they finally I think they sound great when they are working.

I can use it at home with no other wireless signals, but not for gigabit speeds
5/5

As a big Boss fan, I was eager to like this product. It had a great reputation. I used it at home with no issues. It kept cutting out and I even had static in it during my first gig last night. There were only a few differences, since there were dozens of people in the room and one other person in my band had a wireless system There was a lot of cutting out from the boss. As soon as the first song was over, I switched to a cord. A very disappointing experience. This feature isn't very appealing to me because you cannot choose channels manually. If only I had tried to find a better signal, I would have been happier.

The sound is totally transparent
5/5

A very easy to use program. The sound is totally transparent. It works very well with both active and passive pickups. I like the automatic frequency adjustment the first time they are connected.

This is much better than xvive
5/5

I used xvive, but the battery life was only 4 hours and it started getting shorter until my receiver had to be plugged into the charger. Its battery life is good, and I have the ability to play two 3 hour shows in the same day with it instead of using a Y cable. It also has a good low end response (I play upright so that is important for low G through I think it's the same as plugging in through The first month has been good to me Now that I've been using it for a while, I want to let you know what I think. Furthermore, the xvive unit doesn't have moving parts - a major weakness that led to an outer housing breaking during shows.
