Right out of the box this unit made clicking noises was distorted when playing with no distortion at all. When playing clean, the clicking noises were very evident when hitting any stiings, the more strings you hit the worse the problem.
Sound
The sound quality from this unit was terrible, no where near what a cord produced.
Features
This unit is made from plastic and for the price I expected it to work much better. I used my Jackson King V with crate half stack and was very disappointed.
Ease of Use
I was not able to get anywhere near a good sound out of this unit. Clicking noises and distortion was all I got.
Quality
It seemed to be made well despite the fact it is made of plastic. It did seem sturdy, but I am shipping it back so I really wouldn't know how it would hold up under use.
Value
I had a very cheap Nady system that sounded better than this. I gave that system to my son and he is still using it. So, no, for the price this unit was not worth it.
Manufacturer Support
Did not contact the company.
The Wow Factor
It is a wireless unit, how much more appeal could you ask for? Wireless is the way to go when you play live.

Musical Background:

I have been playing for over 30 years and play guitar, bass and sing. We play live at least 4 times a month.

Musical Style:

Classic rock, blues, metal.

This unit did not perform as expected. Lots of noise and terribly distorted. Clicking and cracking noises when playing single strings and chords. Tried to adjust the unit per the instructions and was not able to get this unit to work as advertised. Would not recommend this unit to anyone. Felt cheaply made and for the price this unit is definitely not worth it.

Musical Background:

Playing for over 35 years. Guitar, bass, brass.
