zZounds Gear Experts Say...
System Includes: SR40 Receiver, GB40 Guitarbug Transmitter.

The WMS 40 microtools Series guitarbug makes it incredibly easy to go on air: all you need to do is plug the GB 40 into your instrument. Naturally, the GB 40 provides an input gain control, battery status indicator, replaceable frequency color code element, and a DC/DC converter for constant transmission quality throughout the life of the battery.

The best thing about the guitarbug is its "FlexJack" swiveling jack plug that will mate with all guitars from the Stratocaster or Telecaster to a Les Paul. And its price will match any budget. The "FlexJack" connects the GB 40 to any guitar jack, oblique, on the top or on the side.

System Includes: SR40 Receiver, GB40 Guitarbug Transmitter.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I EXPECT THAT THIS UNIT WILL BE IN MY SET-UP FOR QUITE A WHILE.
Sound
SOUND QUALITY IS EXCELLENT. MUCH BETTER THAN THE AUDIO TECHNICA VHF MODELS WITH BODY PACK THAT I OWN - AND NOW HAVE FOR SALE ON E-BAY.
Features
EASY TO USE. SIMPLE OPERATION. IT'S COOL THAT THE VOLUME CAN NOT BE TUNRED DOWN TO SILENCE, YOU AVOID DUMB MISTAKES THAT WAY. MICRO BUG IS A BIG IMPROVEMENT OVER THE OLD BODY PACK TRANSMITTERS
Quality
REALLY WELL MADE. BETTER THAN THE NADY, AUDIO TECHNICA, CARVIN, AND SAMSON UNITS THAT I'VE USED.
Value
A LITTLE HIGHER PRICED THAN OTHER BRANDS AND WORTH THE FEW EXTRA DOLLARS. RECOMMENDED!
Manufacturer Support
NO EXPERIENCE WITH AKG SUPPORT AS THE WMS40 HAS WORKED PERFECTLY.
The Wow Factor
GOOD PRODUCT THAT HAS REPLACED MY OTHER WIRELESS SET-UP, SO OF COURSE IT'S A GOOD ONE.
