zZounds Gear Experts Say...
2 antennas. On/off switch.
Overview
This ultra compact UHF wireless system includes the popular Guitarbug transmitter -- nearly weightless and invisible as it hangs on your guitar's output jack with no body back. The minuscule new PR40 diversity receiver was designed to fit on a guitarist's pedalboard or "Velcroed" right onto your guitar amp (Velcro fastener strip included). The PR 40 features an ultra durable glass-fiber plastic case. The heavy-duty swivel joints on the antennas add to the reliability of the receiver. The PR 40 can be powered with two AAA size dry or rechargeable batteries. Place the PR40 into the optional charging base and it automatically recharges.

Only time will tell with my satisfaction with this unit. I've only had it for a month and it hasn't let me down thus far.
Sound
This is an awesome little unit for the money. I use it on my acoustic guitars. I give it an 8 in sound because it does alter the sound on my electric guitar too much to be useful. It brightens up my acoustic sound which isn't a problem. I always like a brighter sound on acoustic.
Features
Has a mute button on transmitter which comes in handy when I switch back and forth between guitars. Plug in and go - can't get much simpler than that.
Quality
I don't really care for plastic, but it seems that's all they make these days. I wish they would have used a heavier gauge wire to plug receiver into amp.
Value
Absolutely the best bang for your buck!
