## Overview

Featuring a rechargeable transmitter with up to 12 hours of playtime, automatic channel optimization, and selectable cable tone simulation, it offers hassle-free setup and rock-solid performance. The receiver doubles as a power distributor for other pedals, making it an essential upgrade for guitarists and bassists seeking professional wireless freedom without compromising tone.

## Description

From the manufacturer WL-50 Wireless Virtual Cable About BOSS BOSS, a division of Roland Corporation, has achieved legendary status among guitarists, bassists, and vocalists with a diverse, class-leading product line-up of creative tools with exceptional sound, intuitive control, and rugged durability. Since 1977, BOSS has lead the way with innovative effects pedals, amplifiers, multi-effects processors, and loopers to wireless systems, vocal effects, tuners, metronomes, rhythm machines, recorders, and more. Wireless freedom made easy for your guitar, bass and other electronic instruments! With the WL-50, it’s never been easier to bring wireless freedom to your pedalboard. Driven by new BOSS technology, the WL-50 delivers premium sound and a plug-and-play experience that eliminates all the hassles normally associated with wireless systems. The stompbox-sized receiver fits right alongside your other pedals, and includes a docking port for charging the transmitter and automatically setting the best wireless connection. Lightning-fast BOSS technology. No compromise to the tone or feel of your instrument. Plug-and-play operation that eliminates all the hassles normally associated with wireless systems. DC output, allowing you to distribute power to multiple pedals on your board. Lightning-Fast BOSS Wireless Technology Equipped with high-performance BOSS wireless technology that debuted in the Katana-Air wireless guitar amp, the WL-50 delivers exceptional sound quality with wide dynamic range. Working in the 2.4 GHz frequency band, the system automatically accesses the optimum channel to ensure rock-solid audio performance with absolutely no drop-outs. And with ultra-low latency of just 2.3 ms, you’ll always enjoy great playing feel with no lag whatsoever. Up to 14 BOSS wireless systems can be used simultaneously in one space, allowing multiple musicians to enjoy wireless freedom at the same time.* *Environmental conditions may affect the actual number of simultaneous systems available. Just Another Pedal on Your Board The WL-50 has a slightly smaller footprint than a standard BOSS compact pedal and can be powered just like your other stomps, making it an easy addition to any pedalboard setup. Simply place it at the beginning of your chain and connect the receiver’s output to the first pedal. The receiver is also equipped with a regular ¼-inch input jack, so you can always use a traditional guitar cable in a pinch. When the receiver is powered via a BOSS PSA-S adaptor, it becomes a power distribution center for other stomps on your board. By using an optional PCS-20A daisy-chain cable, you’re able to power a number of BOSS compact pedals at the same time. Integrated Transmitter Dock The WL-50 features a built-in dock that’s used to charge the transmitter and establish the wireless connection. The system’s streamlined profile is maintained even when the transmitter is docked, with a total height that’s about the same as a normal BOSS stomp. At street gigs and other mobile performance situations, running your pedals on battery power is often the best choice. The WL-50 receiver can run for up to seven hours on two AA batteries, allowing you to take your wireless setup with you! While running on battery power, the receiver is unable to charge the transmitter. But don’t worry—you can still charge it using a common USB adaptor (5 V/500 mA or higher), the same type used with most smartphones and tablets. Plug In and Rock with Built-In Cable Tone Simulation The WL-50 includes two selectable cable tone simulation options that reproduce the natural capacitive effect that’s introduced when using a guitar cable with standard passive pickups. You can also bypass the effect when cable tone simulation is not desirable, such as when using an acoustic/electric guitar with an onboard preamp or an instrument with active pickups. Once you’ve installed the WL-50 on your board and charged the transmitter, it’s literally as simple to use as a standard guitar cable. Just dock the transmitter in the receiver, wait about 10 seconds, and then plug the transmitter into your instrument. That’s it! The optimum wireless connection is set automatically during docking, with no other user operation required.

Review: Good product. For those trying to decide whether to get this 'L' version or the other read on... - Well made and works great. No noise. Some smart design features: it has no switches and it switches on when plugged in. Pairing is achieved just by plugging one unit into the other and they can be charged in this way too, meaning they require only one lead. All good ideas. Compared to a lot of the cheaper units, the battery is clearly physically bigger (and probably of higher quality) which will be why Boss can claim 10 hours of operating time. I tried two cheaper makes before buying this: The Lekato WS-70 and the Getaria one: The WS-70 has rave reviews everywhere but it did horrible things to my sound despite otherwise working well - it squashes out all the attack and is dull. The Getaria is great for its cheap price but it's a little noisy when used with distortion and the construction is somewhat flimsy compared to the Boss. I agonised over whether to buy this version or the version which simulates the treble roll-off caused by the capacitance of a lead. Even Boss' own sites contradict themselves a bit, with one saying the 'L' stands for low impedance and the other saying the only difference is the treble cut. After watching a Youtube video of a guy comparing the other one to a good lead, it seemed more like it was simulating a curly lead from the 1970s. The treble roll of was too much so I opted for this one - which they recommend as being for active guitars and synths etc. My own comparisons found this to be very similar to using a good quality lead so I don't really see the point of the other one. Why they didn't just make one model and put a switch on it for that I don't know. Also, on this 'L' version, the transmitter is a different colour to the receiver which seems like a useful and obvious thing to do, whilst on the other version they are the same. Unless you think that a fairly substantial treble cut would be a good thing for you I would buy this one. UPDATE Have now done four or five gigs with the system and it's been flawless. Worth the extra money over the cheaper systems.
Review: Great bit of kit. - I get fed up tripping over cables. This is easy to set up and I have found no difference in sound quality. I found two boss models on desertcart and I picked this because its easier to charge up (Plug transmitter into receiver, attach mains and it charges up). Plenty of time to play before recharging. It easily gets you through the night. I used it for rehearsals for 6 hours before recharging and it still had juice in it. The main light changes colour when it needs charged and that hasn't happened yet. However the main test is freedom of movement and I cant fault it yet. I moved around whilst playing and found no difference in sound quality. Also, all pedals work fine. Its placed at the start of your pedal board with all effects added after it. There is also an input socket as well as an output to next pedal (or amp). This then means that if you see the low charge light come on and don't want to take a chance, you can then plug in a normal cable between guitar and the receiver. This then overrides the receiver and you can play as you would normally. Excellent bit of kit.
