- i got this set like 90% of my gear at long and mcquade here in canada there are many place you can buy them any where hpw ever that being said .. I still say these are the best bang for the buck they work awesome and if your wanting great quaility and still keeping the bank account to the Plus side. these are your best bet for TRUE Wireless.. i have used and owned many wireless guitar systems and these are still the best so far in my opinion ..
Great presentation, thank you...I’m convinced!

Very informative, thank you.
your welcome
Thank you for the advise i will be using a pedal board through FOH my friend gave me a Yamaha rgx320fz guitar.
your welcome
Hi Bud excellent content. Question: if I buy the one for active pickups will it work for my guitar with passive pickups.? Thanks.
its suposed to yes but you will want to ask the dealer or email boss to make sure 100% but i cant see any reason why not my self you can also look up the specs on boss website that will also tell you
great review thank you, my WL-20 died 40 min into rehearsal on a full charge.....defective?
try charging it up again both parts then plug them in let them both just go till they die and recharge try this 3 times then charge once more after the 3rd time and see if they are back to normal if not you have bad batterys so they are warrantied so they will be repaired or replaced with a new set as long as you are still under warranty
Have the WL20 for two+ years. Only issue is the transmitter battery dies faster than when new. I’ll be doing a complete discharge to erase the memory because of your tip. Thank you.
your welcome let me know how it works out for you my set is still doing great thus far
mine was fully charge and run out battery 2 hrs after and i bought them second hand
hey kevys! I live in Canada too! I was wondering if your boss guitar amplifier plugs into a power adapter to charge the guitar wireless system or can you plug these into a pc (computer) to get a full charge there? (some say the charge takes to long from a pc from there experience is this true?) ...!
your best to change them from a power brick 2.0 amp charger will do just fine i never use my pc to chage with because there is not enough amps to use computer usb ports for chaging it would take to long and its hard on your usb bus to do that
Hi there. Great video. I wanted to know if i switch guitars, do i have to rebind them?
And also, how are they holding up after 5 years of use? No issues with batterry life/charging?
Thanks
hi there they are great but i have lately been having problems with maintaining conntions dude to every tom dick harry and janet getting bell fiber in the country area i live in for so long we all wanted great internet now its here but it interfears with my boss wireless so i sold them and went to UHF and now no more problems you have to expect eventually someting will interfear but even with all 14 channels it does not help , as for part 2 tho you shold rebind when switching sometime you get away with out doing it .. line 6 as the same problem wiht one of there systems .. i would get a top pro level wireless system but iam not making tons of money playing music and all of these cheaper systems do work very well. but with more and more 2.4 and 5g systems going up all over its likey better now to go with UHF even the cheaper ones work well but get a decent one if you want durability
Thanks for the info! The main reason i was looking to get the wl-20l was to be able to switch guitars ( a mix of passive and active pups) in a live setting without the hassle of a belt pack.... and now the crowded bandwidth thing is another level of problems.... anyway, good to know this before buying! Thanks again!
A silly question. As a violin player, I use a little preamp before my pedals to match impedance issues. Using a wireless system would require the pre after it? Or before?
Thanks!
you hook it up the same as the rest of use transmitter to the output jack of the instrument and reciever goes to the input of where ever you going to hook up in the chain , i dont get your impedance issues your talking about whats going on there with that ?
@@KevinMillard68 well, my violin uses piezo pickups, so when hooking to amplifiers or pedals, sometimes I get impedance mismatch.
@@DeadmanDance you might want to look into the active boss wireless system iam not sure who these will react to piezo i know i u se them in my acoutic electric guitars and they work fine and i have passive pups in all my regular electric guitars are your piezos powered active or just a cheap plug and go style ..
Hi, I'm considering to purchase a set of WL-20, I'm mainly concerned with the long term use, but I couldn't find enough info on these. You posted this around end of 2019 after a year of owning these, so I was wondering if you could help me decide as these are quite pricy here in Australia. Are these units still working well for you? How many hours are you getting now compared to when they were new? Also, I'm seeing several forum posts that the signal gets boosted when using these as opposed to a normal cable, is this the case for you as well?
iam still getting full run time out of them and I do use them a lot they are working great best set I have bought so far to date and I have owned several wireless systems and these are fantastic
I read in one of your comments that you used this on a THR30 and had issues. Would you recommend using Line 6 G10 instead?
Hi.. when you rebind do you think they pick a different frequency or go with the first free one..I have a set.. they work everywhere except one pub and recently I gigged with a friend who has the same set In this pub and his worked mine didn't.. so if I keep rebinding will they keep choosing the same frequency or different.. Thanks
they choose a different one each time but there is only 14 total
@@KevinMillard68 ok. Thanks.. that's actually good news.. so it's worth retrying over and over to it hopefully works..
So what if I want to unplug from one guitar and plug in to another ....in other words switch guitars from song to song. Do I have to rebind
if its just you then no if there are other wisreless devices you might have to if a collision of channhles happens
Hi I just got mine in I been charging them with a phone charger just 1 individual 1 and it's blinking red, It was charging for about one and a 1/2 hours with the yellowish Orange color then all the suddenly blinks red every time I try to charge it
your supposed to use the inlcluded cable for 1 and 2 if you have a problem call boss or take then back to where you got them they are under warranty
do you think it will be fine with wifi issue in crowd place? i might gonna using it almost every single day, do you think the battery gonna survivor over year at least?
i haev had this set sece sept 2018 and no problems as of yet with them or the batteries in them as for any problems with hi wirelss traffic areas these have 14 channels so each time you go to use them you mind them and they search for the strongest cleanest channel so if it takes you 1 or 2 times kinda deal to lock to a clean channel there is no reason that you should have any problems like any other wireless product you try and see what happens but you souuld be fine but even i can not nore can anyone say 100% sure on this, you can always return them for a refund of they dont work out for you but check with who ever you get them from on their return policy
Thank you for youre advice ! Cheers :)
@@joje4713 your welcome
I have a passive and active bass..is it true that these will not work on my active Sting Ray bass?
if you want to use on active pups you have to get the set from boss thats made for active pups this set is not
I just bought a wl20 boss. It worked great for about 3 weeks then started dropping out crazy even five feet away. I've done everything I know to do and it still did not work correctly. I took it back to the store and got a replacement one. Straight away from the box it was dropping out like crazy. So far I don't have a good opinion of these things. Maybe they had a bad batch?
everytime you use these tey have to be conected togeter you have to sync them so they can find a clear channel even if you just unplug the tc or the rc you have to rebind to make a clean channel other wise use you will have drop outs . its not the best system for having to rebind all the time in fact its a pain but it saves on adding more buttons and other crap that can just break so its worth it in the end to have to rebind them everytime , my self and out worship leader use them all the time and never have any problems.. i did have the new yamaha thr30II amp that has built in the ine 6 crap RX now that amp does not come with the rx for the guitar but you can buy it seperate anyhow so i tried to use my boss system with the amp and nope she drops like crazy so i thought ok lets leave the amp on and try plugging ot another amp nope drops out still and there is no way to turn off the line 6 rx on the amp you can lock the channel in hopes that will work and no did not work, seems line 6 used all the excat same freqs with in a number or 2 just to cause hell,, and that made me take the amp back to get something different for an amp .. so try to rebind each time and see of that helps.
@@KevinMillard68 thank you for responding. I have tried that and it still does not work right. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that it's like using the same frequency as Bluetooth. I will try it again before I take it back. So far I'm simply just not impressed LOL
@@KevinMillard68 I'm going to try it again the rebinding. The first one I had I didn't have to do that for some reason. I'm going to give it a chance because I don't want to have to drive all the way back to the store. LOL I'm with you online 6. Garbage LOL
@@kingkrollinvention n off asll your blue tooth try that if that failes something else thats wireless in your jam space might be doing it i can tell you this it wont be any of your apple phones and ipads iam not sure about android devices tho .. could be your internet wirelsss system , if your using 2.4 ghz wireless headset mics they can interfear expecially if they are made by line 6 tho usually with the line 6 headsets the boss is stable but then the headsets go la la with drop outs ..
@@kingkrollinvention according to all the info i know of onthe boss wireless they have to be boud each time you use them so they can find a clear channel they auto hope 14 channels
I have a Q. I do have bass with passive puckups but active preamp, i think there are more instruments like that, what should I get, WL 10 or WL10L? thnx a lot
passive pups are just that no preamp , only pups with preamps are active pickups, anyhow get the set that works for you the set that is made for. active pups works on all pups the other set is deishgnd just for passivly only pups so choose the set that will best suit you
I heard these don’t work well with an active bass, is that true?
yes thats true but they do make a set for active pickup guitars and yes basses
How do you turn them of
just unplug them thats all there is to it
How many times working.....?
i have recarged these already several hundred times they are awesome
How does last the battery?
that i cant give you a solid answer on as iam usualy 2 to 3 hours at a time and never a problem but you can look up the specs on the boss website for total run times that they are rated at .. i always put them back on charge after iam done so i have so far never used them past 3 hours at a time so never maxed out till then end my self.
do they work for active pickups? Ex emg 60 and 81
if you get the ones from boss that are made to deal with active pups then yes but this set is not
I introduction video after 1 year
dont understand your comment be more specific
Mine broke after a month …if that
how did you manage that i have droped mine more times then i can count i use them all the times as well only once did i have a problem so boss replaced them and good to go again never a problem sence and yes ihave droped the replacment set many times to. one thing to mention tho get some deoxit 5 and spray the contract power pins a little bit each and you wont have any switch problems which can occure but once sprayed never a day of trouble again
@@KevinMillard68 follow up.. they weren’t broken .. I forgot to pair them and thought they were broke
