I've always been intrigued by the idea of having a wireless pedalboard/guitar/amp. It seems super simple in execution, but I've always been highly suspicious about the sound quality. Has anyone here tried anything like this?
I have a wireless rig (and a backup) from the 90s that's one of the still-compliant ones. Sound quality is decent, battery life acceptable (16-20 hours on a 9v pack). It's a little more compressed than normal straight into amp but that's also how I like the preamp on it sounding.
I gave up on it when I stopped gigging due to health, that and there's no useful wireless option for a guitar synth.
It was very, very, very useful in getting live sound right though. I could hear exactly what it sounded like FOH versus stage at any time, and learned to adjust accordingly.

The problem in my case is, that my pedalboard needs to "see" the impedance of my pickups. So my feedback loop and all that stuff works like i want it to.
I mean, I could do wireless + pickup simulator box thingy, but then all the fun of playing with the volume/tone knob would be gone.
If I had a simpler setup I'd sure as hell get a wireless. I've heard only good things about the Line6 stuff (G30, etc.). Little bit expensive, tho.
Even the cheap stuff is fun if you don't need the impedance thing for particular circuits. Back in the day, I didn't have a single thing that required it so it wasn't an issue.
Now I'd be torn and probably just run wireless post-Space Echo and call it good if I wanted that route, plug a second channel straight into it on its own wireless for the non-impedance picky stuffs.
