Earlier, Boss has launched Line 6 released a useful update to its excellent Relay G10 wireless system for guitarist. Now Roland’s Boss brand has followed suit with the WL-60 Wireless System, the latest addition to the Boss wireless range. It features a body-pack transmitter and pedalboard-mounted receiver. The 2.75 x 4.72 x 2.12 in unit features a large LCD display for quick checking settings and automatic channel scanning for ease of operation.
The receiver of the Boss WL-60 receiver has pedalboard-friendly dimensions. Users can check the system’s connection status on the receiver, while the body-pack promises the best runtime in the business and compatibility with any electric instrument.
WL-60 Wireless System
The new Boss WL-60 wireless system consists of a body pack transmitter and a pedalboard-mounted receiver. The system has automatic 14-channel scanning, so it will find you the best free channel and avoid any embarrassing clashes with band mates that are also using a wireless system.
User can easily check out the current connection status on the receiver’s built in large format LCD display. It makes it super clear and easy to see your status, which is perfect for when you are working on dark stages at gigs.
The system has a 2.3ms latency and you can choose a virtual cable length, either short or long, to simulate cable resistance. The longer length knocks off a little top end and makes it sound more like standard guitar cable, Boss says. Many players prefer this, so it makes sense to include this feature in a wireless system.
On the other hand, for the wireless system, the range is stated at 20 meters / 65 feet line of sight. As with most wireless systems, you’ll need to compare the cost and reliability. Besides that Boss says that it will run for up to 25 hours on regular alkaline batteries. And it is pretty decent and should be good for players that gig frequently. The receiver can either be powered by an AC adaptor or two AA alkaline batteries, but as it is mounted on your pedalboard, I reckon a DC power supply would make most sense.
