Good wireless with pedal reciever?

[Deadpulse]

With the way my rig works, I really want a wireless system with a pedal receiver so I can run my TU-2 through the front of my amp without having to run a shit load of cables back and forth from the amp.

I have the Samson Airline system and I absolutely hate it. It's consistently clipping unless I hit the -15db switch but then it sucks so much tone to a point where I don't even wanna use it. Also, unless I'm muting everything with the TU-2 I get a crazy popping noise when I turn the volume knob down.

Anyone know of a good wireless system that doesn't fuck around with a pedal receiver?

I get a crazy popping noise when I turn the volume knob down.

From your guitar? You have a scratchy volume pot. Change it.

Can't help with the wireless question tho :|

Why change it? Just spray some contact spray on the pot and it should be all good.

so you do not want a pedal reciever? Im a little confused.

if you want a pedal reciever, well even if you dont i would probably go with this...

No it's not the pots. I can turn the volume up/down without any scratchy-ness. It's when I turn the volume down on my guitar to talk to someone, then very speratically it will just make a huge popping noise.

Thanks for the X2 recommendation, but I'm looking for a pedal style receiver so I can put it right beside my TU-2, and then run a cable from there to the front of my amp, rather than go from my rack wireless, then to my TU-2 and back.

[chevy Z 302]

it is a pedal reciever, he posted the rack version;)

k so after doing a bit of reading, it looks pretty badass. But then again, so did the Samson Airline system and it turned out to be garbage.

Is this thing actually on par with a decent Shure product or should I just save up and get a PGX unit a Sennheiser system? I don't mind paying a bit for a good one, but it's got to be worth it and not suck so much tone that I have to re-EQ my amp for a "wireless setting"

[chevy Z 302]

i dont have experience with it so i dont want to say anything but from what i've read on it, its pretty badass. I've read many, many great things about it and everyone raves about em at hri.

do a search there and read through some stuff, there's plenty of threads on em. http://www.hugeracksinc.com/forum/search.php?sid=f1357aa2bbb71be554ab5cbbd7f249f9

[Deadpulse]

cool, I'll take a look

man, some of the pics on HRI makes me so wet

[chevy Z 302]

to say the least, yes me too.

some of the rigs and such over there are just beyond amazing, well beyond the general 'gear' in the rig.

That's at the top of my list of things to buy on payday.8o Gotta get a Siren 3-footer too.

I've got the exact same problem with mine.. I was hoping i could get it sorted as it seems like a great piece of kit. But it's put me off wireless for a while.

[Deadpulse]

Yeah the ass I bought it off said "just adjust the squelch knob" but that didn't do jack shit.

I think the unit just sucks. I tried my buddy's older Shure unit that was top of the line at the time, and that one kicks ass. So I am a believer that there are good units out there, but they're not gunna be cheap.

I really don't wanna be turned off wireless yet cause they're so fucking awesome on stage. I'll never go back

[chevy Z 302]

SSHS, i picked up a lyric hg the other day:D

did you buy a x2 yet? How is it if you did?

also, are you getting the siren II or siren? I was reading over at hri and someone mentioned not liking the sirenII with higher gain applications but i didnt see anything further. Just wondering.

[Sixstringhotshot]

I haven't bought it yet. I didn't even realize the Siren I was still in production. Keep in mind their high gain is "woman tone", and their complaint was that the cable was too bright. Serves them right for using that gay-ass tone....it's all the rage lately, and it's totally dull and attack-less.

[chevy Z 302]

yea i generally take anything high gain related there with a big ol spoonfull of salt. samhill is the first i've heard/seen to demonstrate high gain with any CAE product. Makes me want to try that out.

I guess i'll snag a siren II one of these days, after i figure out how much i'll need. If im running a rack i assume i'll need a bit longer than 3ft (which i have a 3ft speakercable now) and if im using head+rack then i can keep a 3fter.

I figure im getting an x2 rack or floor one of these days and im definitly getting a ea cable for it, i hope they start making them standard production. I bet its a bitch soldering in that tiny connection.
