This is a tiny, cheap wireless system for guitar or bass. It plugs in via a standard jack and runs for six hours on a rechargeable battery. The only catch is the radio is locked to a single frequency, so you can't stack channels. It fits easily in a gig bag and works fast enough for live playing.
Pros
- Incredibly affordable price point under fifty dollars
- Compact weight of just two hundred grams
- Rechargeable battery with convenient USB-C port
Cons
- Fixed frequency range of exactly five hundred sixty hertz
- No information on number of available channels
