BOSS WL-50 Overview

The BOSS WL-50 is a wireless system for the pedalboards of electric guitarists. It provides easy operation through its stompbox-sized receiver and included WL-10. Simply plug the transmitter into your guitar, while the receiver sits first in your pedal chain. Now, you are free to roam up to 65' away from your pedalboard without worrying about dragging gear, tripping up your bandmates, or accidentally unplugging.

The receiver automatically finds and sets the optimal wireless connection with the transmitter, selecting among 14 channels to do so, and operating over the carrier frequency of 2.4 GHz. At 2.3 ms, latency shouldn't be an issue. Moreover, the receiver has a docking port for charging your transmitter, and also sports a DC output for distributing power to other pedals on your board.

With selectable cable-tone simulations, you can add a little more wired-realness back into your signal, if you so choose. You can power the receiver with two AA batteries, or use a separately available power supply.

BOSS WL-50 Reviews

Neat toy for home and practice, but I wouldnt gig with it

By Mitchell
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2019-01-31

The form factor is really convenient, but I experienced dropouts even within the same room. This was in a pretty saturated 2.4 GHz environment (an apartment complex where everyone has their own router), but it was enough to make me return it and purchase an Audio-Technica System 10 instead.
