Wireless Guitar System,LEKATO Wireless Guitar Transmitter Receiver with 70 Channels,<3ms Low Latency Rechargeable Digital Audio Guitar Cable Cordless Bass Jack Lead for Electric Guitars,Bass,KeyBoard

As with most purchases, I always do a wee bit of research and try to determine the best available product at an affordable price point. I have been a songwriter for around 40 years and I can remember when a " budget friendly " musical instrument was just another term for " cheap rubbish " Fortunately, times have radically changed and now we are blessed with a market full of excellent quality items which are far kinder on the wallet. With this in mind, I recently bought the excellent Positive Grid Spark 2 amplifier which comes with a superb app that brings to us every conceivable sound we could wish for in a lovely wee package. I have a dedicated iPad just for this app. I also bought the available battery and foot switch and decided to complete my portable practice rig ( which is good enough to gig with along with a small cab. ) by investing in a wireless guitar system. Positive Grid have their own option ( which I am sure is very good ) but at over £100 it seemed a little excessive when there are other, far more affordable, options on the market. I decided to opt for the LEKATO WS-70 which had great spec.'s and superb reviews. I have felt totally justified in my decision as this is a wonderful wee system with no noticeable latency and no discernible loss of tone. I can highly recommend this option to anyone looking for excellent quality at a very affordable price point.

They work and connect well. Slight processing hiss as guitar being played which disappears when no longer playing. Noticed this same effect with compressors and multi-effects pedals; so think it is signal processing noise that gates. I don't know if more expensive ones like Positive Grid Link or Boss' product would avoid this problem at nearly three times the price. UPDATE: I mostly have active pickups on acoustic guitars. I recently revisited these and tried it on my electric guitar that has passive pickups, after reading that wireless units like these often don't work well with active pickups. Well, I'm pleased to say that they work fine with passive pickups. Just thought it would be fair to adjust my review and upgrade to 5 stars. Apparently, it can affect wireless transmitter/receiver guitar units in general. Hope this information helps.

Not long owned these, so far so good. Used them on a gig and they worked great, they do slightly compress the sound but as a bass player I find (for me anyway) I don’t mind this as it tightens up the lows.. after a 2 hr show the battery level never moved and the signal never dropped out at all. There was no interference caused from any other equipment,ie radio mics etc (also used) I think these represent great value for money and would recommend them especially for bass, our guitarist tried them and was also impressed, but he uses a. pedal board and never strays too far from it, but he did like them and said any slight alteration to the tone can be EQ’d anyway, overall so far, I’m well pleased!. It wasn’t so long ago these would have been 10x the price!!

After 2 years of ownership and 100+ gigs in the UK...I love these. Must buy another set! I bought this set and also the 5.8 wifi version (shaped like a guitar) 2 years ago, the idea being to use the 5.8 wifi with my bass and this UHF with my iem wired/battery pack to make both wireless on a budget. Avoiding 2.4 wifi was my thought because of congestion and interference. This unit in the IEM worked OK but I did get dropouts for a moment here or there at some gigs, sounded like a dodgy lead connection, I narrowed it down to high frequency peaks making it freak out/mute for a few milliseconds...cymbals/crashes, or kick drum moments I believe. Probably a poor software design unable to cope with that peak overload. So I swapped the units around and put these on my bass instead, and the 5.8wifi on my IEM pack. I love them - no issues at all since then, despite many radio-saturated stages, everything from crowded pub gigs, hotel parties of 150 people crammed in a room all carrying phones, a few hundred people in nightclubs, to festivals with a few 1000 and lots of UHF microphones & IEMs etc all doing their thing, these sets just seem to work without issue. I always get a few hours use, we generally always have a soundcheck plus 2x1hour sets, I've often left them on in the break and before the gig, I've never seen the battery show less than 3/4. Have done rehearsals all day with no issue. I'd guess 5/6 hours would be fine, even after 2 years of ownership. These are very inexpensive compared to the big brands, but they work well, at least mine have! I have cables to fall back on, plus other-frequency wireless options, but honestly I have never needed them. Another player in my band has Line6 (and I love/own their stuff for 20+years since the first Pod) with wifi from the the pedalboard, but they've been through 2 versions and still get drop-outs and poor connections, I believe because they are on 2.4 wifi. These Lekato seem to work so much better by comparison.

I bought a pair a few months ago to get rid of the leads when practicing at home and with the band (in a small practice room it's really easy to get tangled with the others, especially if you want to change place). Anyway, the price seemed good enough, I also took advantage of a discount, and the online reviews were mostly good. The system is really simple to set up, basically just plug in. The receiver and transmitter are easily identifiable. They seem solidly built. They came with a Y (double) USB cable to charge both at the same time. The sound quality is good and I didn't notice any latency. However, I noticed a change in tone (on the bass guitar it loses some definition) that may bother some and make them not suitable for a gig. When coupled with my Zoom B4 or to the audio interface they introduce some noise and buzzing (I need to perform a few more experiments to understand how to get rid of it or at least reduce it). The battery has been the weakest point of the kit, unreliable at best. Sometimes one of the pieces would switch off even when they just charged. All in all, for the price I paid, they are a good kit for home practice. I would not suggest using them for anything more than practice and, maybe, rehearsals (if the tone difference doesn't bother you).

Sick of cables i decided to try these. switched on and paired in a minute i decided to see what they could do. transmitter guitar , reciever amp, connected and any delay was to little to notice,even from different rooms. okay they work and sound is excellent with no cable hum. So is that it ? cable from peddals to amp and reciever into first pedal ......works perfect. cable into pedals, transmit out of pedals recieve to amp. works too, so whats next ? order another set, full hook up, no cables and amp 100ft from pedals and pedals 100ft from guitar (or any other instrument with line out), FREEEEEDOM !!!! and no cables to pull out. the units are about 3 inches long, and stylish, the only control is the lit power/pair button.180 degree swivel round the jack means no matter where its plugged in it can fold unobtrusively. very light but mot threatening to break on a whim. just remember to keep those cables handy in case you forget to charge and the battery runs out mid rampaging solo (be honest we all have thought we did when we didnt at least once). stylish, multi frequency, powerfull, almost instant signal and unlike cables, no background hum or interference.

I can't for the life of my figure out why it is there are so many positive reviews on this item - not least video reviews on YouTube. More to the point I cannot believe that so many people are prepared to overlook absolutely glaring sound problems for the sake of perceived convenience in this package. Don't get me wrong, this item is a great proposition. It's convenient, easy to use, versatile and succeeds at kicking you straight into what seems like a genuine 'why has it taken us so long to get to something THIS good' kind of usage, with the offer not only of a convenient practice system for home use but also potentially a low cost stage-fit alternative to some of the more expensive or less convenient systems out there from the likes of Line6 and Boss. It's almost like the AKG Bug finally had offspring that delivered the concept... Absolutely brilliant in all regards... except for the one that matters most. Sound. Tone. Usability. I don't know how these things are engineered but let me describe what I think is going on. First, in spite of general claims that this kit will 'do' for all types of guitar let me begin by stating that the 'best' of the bad results I got involved a Fender Strat without active pickups. That was the closest I got to a credible pairing, and the receiver was plugged directly into a Line6 Pod Go. Things went sideways, however, when I plugged it into a Taylor T5 and I can only imagine that a Taylor electro-acoustic with Fishman Blender is going to be just as terrible. Whatever 'success' I had with the Strat, the pairing with the T5 only magnified an atrocious problem with hiss, noise, diminished signal level (as many point out, maybe 20% volume loss), and some kind of less than ideal tone shaping that is clearly hard-coded. What makes the infernal noisiness of these units even worse is that they appear to have been built, less-than-cleverly, with some kind of built-in hard-coded noise gating in. That's a polite way of describing it. The end result is that these units deliver inconsistent tone transmission between transmitter and receiver which loses all nuance of playing and is geared entirely toward what is best described as requiring some considerable deliberacy in playing to keep the signal active. You can hear the gate kicking in and out because the noise suddenly diminishes when you stop playing anything, then surges as soon as a trigger with great enough attenuation reactivates the transmission, and if you even bother trying to play sensitive lead you will inevitably lose a great deal of your more sensitive 'light touch' phrasing. I bought this on recommendation from various reviews primarily as a convenience for practicing with a minimal number of cables and/or boxes involved and liked the idea of a system good enough to roll out to a live setting and the truth is that in my 'live' playing I had already bought a Line6 Relay G75 for hard installation in the venue I play just a couple of weeks after the first lockdown and left it in the venue waiting for normal service to resume. That hasn't happened yet and I hadn't really had a good play with the Relay system especially in use with the Pod Go that I just bought and which will inevitably end up paired with the Relay. I saw these as an even more convenient evolution of wireless technology for guitar and thought if they were any good, they'd be a great 'throw in the case' backup for either a second guitar or as a backup plan for battery issues with the Relay G75. I genuinely love the idea that these recharge from a single cable, don't need a bulky base station with a wall-wart power supply and a patch cable, and just - supposedly - work. So now I've been and retrieved the Relay G75 and hooked it up and sure, I can accept that these Lekato aren't quite the same quality as Line6 kit for the money... but honestly, given that these are getting reviews on YouTube by reviewers that are rating them as superior to the Boss or Line6 offerings, or other units that are close to the Boss and Line6 prices, I can't believe how bad they are. By contrast the Line6 kit has no issue at all with electro-acoustic or with the active pickup system in the T5 and is virtually silent in operation with no evident noise gating crushing or clipping the tonal range during sensitive playing. Literally the only downfall of the Line6 Relay G75 is that it involves such a big receiver unit, a hard power supply and the need for such a large wireless pack using AA batteries as the power source. I'm at a loss as to why there appears to be no kit like these, capable of both electro-acoustic/active pickups AND standard electric instruments, with Line 6 or Boss quality, in the kind of form factor that these take with rechargeable batteries and a price that reflects the inherent disposability of the internal battery system. I am, however, seriously considering scraping some more pennies together to add a Relay G10 or the Boss system with the pedalboard receiver which doesn't require electro-acoustic and active pickup to be an either/or which requires the purchase of a separate receiver, just for some increased convenience and minimalism in the home practice environment or the travelling kit bag... Had so much promise but really missed out by making too many compromises to the quality and integrity of sound. Really needs to be a system that simply conveys signal wirelessly from one point to another, but with hiss and aggressive noise-gating it's less a conveyance of your performance signal and more a reinterpretation of it. Not fit for purpose for me, I'm afraid and the mass availability of various models from this brand which are rebadged in nearly identical packages across multiple brands reminds me that there's no audio engineering going on in here - just mass production of cheap, generic imported technology.

I'm not quite sure what to make of this. Initially I got it, plugged it in, and thought it was amazing, why hadn't I gone wireless before? This was with a PRS SE245 guitar and a Valeton GP-200 pedal, or going direct into my UMC1820 interface. The following night I switched to my home built strat copy which has lower output pickups and I started to notice problems. I was now going into BiasFX2 on my Mac and I was using a quite high gain patch which had a noise gate. I was struggling to get past the gate and noticed I had to dial back the threshold quite significantly. This led me to stop banging out heavy riffs and try some subtle peices. Sure enough I got no output. This was odd. Round about this time the battery ran out so it was game over for that night. Oops. Just as well I wasn't live. So long story short, after much investigating, the signal level was considerably reduced with the wireless doohicky compared to using a cable and as others have mentioned, it's noise gating the signal. If you're just banging out metal or punk riffs like your life depends on it, that isn't going to be a problem, but I'm not always doing that. OK 99% of the time I am, but I wasn't prepared to compromise for the sake of a cable. However, before returning it, I did try it on a friend much more expensive Boss multifx unit and it seemed fine. So maybe there's just something with my setup and maybe impedence it didn't like? Other cons - that battery indicator is terrible. A single LED segment does a good job of lighting up the whole bar so it's very difficult to tell just how many bars are lit. And of course, that's pretty important if you don't want to run out of juice. The receiver also died earlier than the transmitter which is a bit odd. Ultimately I had to return it but maybe it will be OK for you?
