Feature:
There arent many features on the wireless sytem but you dont really need them.

Quality:
Quality doesnt get much better than this. Sounds exactly like a cord and doesnt break.

Value:
even though this item is a bit pricy itll last you for longer than most wireless systems.

Desirability:
This product isnt very good looking but its really small and portable so who cares.

Sound:
This wireless sytem has a great sound. It puts up a real comparison to the cord. You just cant tell the difference.

Support:
havent had to call them yet

Overall:
Great wireless sytem. BUY IT.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
It's great - just plug the transmitter into your guitar, plug in the base station, and off you go. It has a squeltch control, as well as other features.

Quality:
It's fairly lightweight construction. There are little black plastic switches on the units. I rarely move the 15 P DAB switch as I usually leave it in the "on" position. It's right next to the "power" switch, so I moved it once on accident and it broke right off! Really surprised me. I can still flip the switch with a pen, but it makes me wonder when the power switch is going to break. Then I'll really be upset.

Value:
For the money, quality, and convenience, this unit is a great buy. Just beware of the poor-quality switches. If you've ever worked on a plastic model (say, putting together a model airplane) and had to snap off the invidual parts from their holder - it's kind of like that.

Sound:
For the best quality sound, you really can't beat a traditional wired setup. Even major bands that are really into the quality of the sound they produce live (Dream Theater) are going back to wired on stage. For the money, though, this unit sounds great. I purchased this along with wireless headphones so I can walk around the house (inside and outside) and rock on my guitar. Total freedom!

Ease of Use:
It's very easy to use.

Support:
They provide phone number and e-mail for tech support. Waiting to hear back from them now. Hopefully they'll fix the switch at no charge to me, and hopefully this problem is not worthy of a recall. What good is fixing the product if it's only going to break again?

Feature:
Tons of features.More than you can expect for the money.

Quality:
The receiver is a 10,while I wish that the transmiter was solid as the the receiver.You really have to be carefull with mute and power switche.

Value:
The price fantastic although when I purchased this unit I paid higher than what it's being sold for now.

Desirability:
Just the fact that you can integrate it in you stompbox line-up,is beyond my expectations.

Sound:
it sounds great.Actually I can't tell if my bass any different with or without it.

Ease of Use:
No rocket science at all.

Support:
I never had to call the for anything and I've had this unit 2 years ago.I would not know.

Overall:
As long as it keeps working for as it's been,I don't need another product.

Feature:
what the hell is the -15db pad for? who wants to play softer? i had to tape it over to keep from accidently turning it on, which cuts your gain. what a crock!

Quality:
i looked down during a gig and it was broke off, hanging by one skinny wire! It was still playing. I had to reinforce and redesign it to keep using it. I guess it's so small you cant make it strong. maybe they could cast the body from some non-ferrous metal or something to make it stronger.

Value:
yeah..worth it for the price. but they should send a refurbish kit so you can repair the broke plastic. Man! I like to never figured out how to keep it together\after it snapped. (wrapped it with aluminum stripping and screwed it back together.)

Desirability:
I use it to get a signal to may amp without a damn cord. No, I don't think it's sexy, and neither does any one else i know, what kinda question is that? Any of you out there think this little black box is sexy?

Sound:
no different than a cord, just nothing to trip over

Ease of Use:
an ameoba could figure it out.

Support:
never called, figured I'd get another friggin' menu tree. I hate those damn things.

Overall:
I'm thinking about buying another one. I'm already ordering some metal to prepare for when it breaks off my gtr again.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
I have no idea about any features that can be associated with it

Quality:
There is nothing loose on the item, however the part that you put in your bass is small and made of plastic so you do have to be a little bit careful of it, as long as you respect your bass and don't pull off and guitar-smashing moves on or off stage it should hold together (do keep in mind that every thing breaks after a while)

Value:
It's just been recently that i have cared enough about what i use for my bass guitar, so i haven't been keen on the prices of stuff for my bass, but overall i think i got my money's worth of what i paid for

Desirability:
I honestly don't really care about what it looks like as long as it's small which it is. You probaly can't see it if you are on stage.

Sound:
If you set it correctly it sounds ausome, however if you mess with it to much then you get some static depending on how badly you mess it up.

Ease of Use:
If you don't read the mannuel (i didn't) then it takes a second to work every thing out such as where does the battery go and what does that do. I read the mannuel after it was set up and working, it made sense. They mannuel writer people need to put some more explanation to what everything does, such as i know how to turn it on but there are a couple things that are still in the fog about what they do and how they work.

Support:
Before I purchased the item i called the costemer service line, the person on the other end was easy to talk to and they helped me make sure I had exactly what i wanted.

Overall:
Again as long as you don't mess wiht it to much then it should be OK.
