i've been using wireless guitar since the early 80's and have tried almost every brand and the GLXD 16 is my favorite. love the tuner to. no more buying batteries. o and i'm picky as shit about tone.
@@rufuscrowder1309 i'll just say i'm very picky about my tone and i can't tell the difference. I've seen Cory Wong using one and Eric Gales using one also. If i ever see Joe bonamassa it's over LOL!!!!!!!
This was my favorite wireless for years and a staple in my setup. Unfortunately, as the 2.4ghz frequency became crowded i started having some serious reliability issues and drop outs so i was forced to upgrade and went with the QLXD setup. While i love the QLXD i really miss the simplicity and convienence of the GLXD, now that the dual band has beeen introduced i am really considering going back this design.
That's Exactly why Shure Developed this new NEW GLXD+ dual-band system, using that extra band of wireless space means that GLXD+ is incredibly reliable and there's a high chance you would never experience any dropouts at all. The GLXD+ system is heavily influenced by their professional "Axient" systems, they're just a little bit easier to use.
@@gear4musicguitars Both 2.4 and 5.8 are the same WiFi 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands that basically every single person in the audience's phone is using (or searching for). I'm just having a dang hard time being convinced that I won't have any RF issues in a venu with a couple thousand phones searching for wifi on the same band as my wireless instrument cable. Really love the form factor, but I wish it wasn't on the wireless bands.
Hey, Victor thanks for checking out the video! The Old components do not work with the new systems, to make sure that you get the most out of the system, we would recommend purchasing the full system.
Why?? The old version is awesome, the new version WHAT’S NEW VERSUS PRIOR VERSION Dual frequency band operation (2.4GHz and 5.8GHz). The v1 never dropped out NEW Guitar ¼” input in the receiver. Wow Battery now lasts ~12 hours. V1 16 hours Is it really worth the extra £200 plus, I’m disappointed with Shure
The Guitar pedal comes as a full system, so if you were to purchase this, it comes with the Guitar Pedal receiver (GLXD6+) and the Bodypack Transmitter (GLXD1+) Included in this is also the guitar cable that goes from the Bodypack Transmitter to your guitar.
Can I have two systems on one pedalboard? I have a dual-output guitar and run an acoustic loop and an electric loop simultaneously. I would like to have two transmitters and two receivers that don't interfere with each other. I currently use small bud-sized transmitters and receivers, but I don't like the sound on my acoustic loop, or even if I use just one system with my Taylor on an acoustic gig.
Hi James! No, the NEW GLXD+ use brand new technology even though they are heavily influenced by the older GLXD systems they can only talk to other GLXD+ systems.
Hi, thanks for watching the video! The old system components do not work with the new system. To get the most out of the new GLXD+ we would recommend buying the full system.
Just make sure your power supply is at least 400 mA or it won't power it. I have a pedal power 2 plus and there's not enough mA to run it. I had to mount the included power brick to my board for the mean time.
Its perfect for acoustic guitars, electric guitars, bass guitars, you could even use it for a electric violin if you wanted, As long as the instrument has a jack output it will work perfectly.
It's not really worth it for home use imho... but it's your money to spend how you like. I think you are better off buying stuff by Lekato or Xvive etc... I've used them systems a lot and they're really good. The GLXD gear is for professional or semipro performance where there is a serious need for reliability and quality.
specs? Explain what groups are for? Explain how to actually set up multiple wireless systems in one group? Show 2.4/5.8 Ghz operation? Mention that latency has actually INCREASED from the previous model? Less boomer bends, more information that is not even properly documented in the user manual.
Not that dissimilar to the glxd-16 but way more expensive over £200 more expensive??? It’s going to struggle this time I recon? Shame because the format is really good. The clarity of sound is no different to the first one, neither has the latency, it’s actually worse , new improved battery life 12 hours?? The first one boasts 16 hours?? WHAT’S NEW VERSUS PRIOR VERSION Dual frequency band operation (2.4GHz and 5.8GHz). NEW Guitar ¼” input in the receiver. Battery now lasts ~12 hours. and that’s where this fails sadly,
maybe theyre using a really really old unsold(or maybe used) batteries..my battery used to have 16hrs when fully charged, now its only 15hrs and some minutes..
This is dual band digital 2.4 and 5.8 and selects a frequency automatically with 2 backups to prevent dropouts. I just watched Sweetwater’s vid with the tech info, this updated transmitter has a max battery of 17 hours. I have the original and have no need to upgrade yet, but I’m glad there’s a future model, just in case.
@@周维-s4h You didnt read it all. If you dual frequency hop then its going to reduce battery life. If you stay just in 2.4ghz then the battery life is approx 17hrs.
I’ve tried a lot of wireless systems and they all had major issues live. This is the best. If you want a reliable long lasting product and you play out there’s really no other option.
I have an older version of this wireless pedal and it's still amazing!
Just got mine 🙌🏽

Hey guys, I have de glxd16 with two bodypacks. If I buy just de pedal of the glxd16+, will my transmitters still work with the new tuner? Thanks
Hey, Victor thanks for checking out the video! The Old components do not work with the new systems, to make sure that you get the most out of the system, we would recommend purchasing the full system.
I have the original glxd16. Never let me down. Maybe it’s time to upgrade!
Why?? The old version is awesome, the new version
WHAT’S NEW VERSUS PRIOR VERSION
Dual frequency band operation (2.4GHz and 5.8GHz). The v1 never dropped out
NEW Guitar ¼” input in the receiver. Wow

Is it really worth the extra £200 plus, I’m disappointed with Shure
@@TheTinMan123 That is is. But then my bassist can use that one, and I can use the new one. And I have a backup if needed too. This sounds awesome.
Is the transmitter compatible with the GLXD16 system?
he said yes
@@OmarMoran-cx6nl WHO said yes? I don’t mean to be so persistent, so far you are the first “yes” to my question.

Is this compatible with active pickups?
Don't be silly 😜
Yes, the GLXD16+ works with ALL guitars and basses with passive or Active pickups. No need to worry about that here.
Would you be able to link a GLXD1+ transmitter to the version 1 GLXD16 receiver?
Hi James! No, the NEW GLXD+ use brand new technology even though they are heavily influenced by the older GLXD systems they can only talk to other GLXD+ systems.
glxd+ works with the oldest (glxd)? I considering get another bodypack to sync with glxd4R
Hi, thanks for watching the video! The old system components do not work with the new system. To get the most out of the new GLXD+ we would recommend buying the full system.
Is it possible to connect the glx-d16+ to a 9v Power Supply like the previous one?
I don't see why not?
Yes, if you have a pedalboard power supply which already powers all your pedals, you can use this to easily power the GLXD6+
Just make sure your power supply is at least 400 mA or it won't power it. I have a pedal power 2 plus and there's not enough mA to run it. I had to mount the included power brick to my board for the mean time.
How is it for acoustics?
Its perfect for acoustic guitars, electric guitars, bass guitars, you could even use it for a electric violin if you wanted, As long as the instrument has a jack output it will work perfectly.
@@gear4musicguitars ok, I have heard some other wireless systems don't as well for acoustics as they do electrics, namely the Boss stuff.
is this overkill for soemone just plays at home?
