Boss WL-20 Compact Wireless Guitar System

Full Description

Boss' Wireless Technology

For the WL-20, Boss used the high-performance wireless technology that debuted in the Katana-Air, providing players with incredible sound quality and a wide dynamic range. The system runs at a 2.4 GHz frequency band and automatically selects the optimum channel, delivering a rock-solid audio performance with absolutely no chance for the signal to drop out. The Wl-20 also features an ultra-low latency of 2.4ms, ensuring players receive no lag between playing a note and hearing it.

Built-In Cable Tone Simulation

The addition of a cable tone simulation recreates the natural capacitive effect that's produced when a guitar or bass with a passive pickup is connected to a 10ft guitar cable. This slight effect adjusts the level of treble the guitar produces, adding a warm characteristic for an ultra-realistic, wired performance.

Quick & Easy Setup

Unlike other wireless systems which have you fiddling with channels, frequencies, and other requirements, the Boss WL-20 only requires you to dock the transmitter in the receiver for 10 seconds. This automatically sets the system up with the optimum connection and lets you simply plug in and start rocking out. This Wireless system also charges via a micro USB cable, letting you charge the transmitter and receiver anywhere in the world.
