Description

Offering great tone, ultra-low latency, and effortless set up, BOSS's revolutionary WL series has made it easier than ever for musicians to go wireless. The WL-60 system is a great fit for serious stage performers, bridging plug-and-play simplicity with fast user-guided control. The compact receiver is tailor-made for pedalboards, and features a large visual display and direct-access buttons to quickly scan and select the best wireless channel. Rounding out the system is a rugged bodypack transmitter, which is compatible with nearly any instrument and runs for up to 25 hours on regular alkaline batteries.

Lightning-Fast BOSS Wireless Performance

Equipped with BOSS's acclaimed high-performance wireless technology, the WL-60 delivers exceptional sound quality with wide dynamic range. The system provides rock-solid audio performance with absolutely no drop-outs, while class-leading low latency of just 2.3 ms delivers great playing feel with no lag whatsoever. Up to 14 WL series systems can be used simultaneously in one space, allowing multiple musicians to enjoy wireless freedom at the same time.*

*Environmental conditions may affect the actual number of simultaneous systems available.

Ready to Play in Seconds

Using the receiver’s large LCD and dedicated panel buttons, setting up the WL-60 to play is amazingly fast and efficient. Simply press the Scan button, then wait for a moment as the 14 wireless channels are automatically scanned and the clearest are indicated. Next, select the desired channel on the receiver, power on the transmitter and match the channel, and then you’re ready to rock! In addition to making set up a breeze, the WL-60's LCD also provides constant visual feedback on channel selection, wireless strength, and other parameters.

Visual Feedback Puts You in Control

With the WL-60's automatic scanning feature and informative display, the channel-selection process is virtually effortless, eliminating the complicated procedures required with other systems. All 14 channels are shown at one time during the scan process, giving you a complete overview of the current wireless conditions. This makes it simple to optimize performance for any stage situation, ensuring that you always have the very best tone. And when one or more bandmates are also using WL-60 systems, it’s quick and easy to assign each one to its own unique channel.

Rugged Bodypack Transmitter Works with Any Guitar or Bass

Compact, lightweight, and durable, the included WL-60T Transmitter mounts easily on your belt or instrument strap. Up to 25 hours of runtime is provided with two alkaline AA batteries, which can be swapped out in seconds during the heat of a gig. Using the display and selector buttons, you’re able to adjust the operation channel from your playing position. And since the WL-60T connects to your instrument via a short standard cable (included), it works with nearly any guitar or bass. It's also possible to purchase additional WL-60T units for backup or outfitting multiple stage instruments.

Just Another Pedal on Your Board

The receiver in the WL-60 system is the same size as a standard BOSS compact pedal and can be powered just like your other stomps, making it an easy addition to any pedalboard setup. Simply place it at the beginning of your chain and connect the receiver’s output to the first pedal. And thanks to the regular ¼-inch input jack, you can always connect via a traditional guitar cable when needed without having to re-patch or remove the receiver from your board.

Cable Tone Simulation

The WL-60 includes two selectable cable tone simulation options that reproduce the natural capacitive effect that’s introduced when using a guitar cable with standard passive pickups. You can also bypass the effect when cable tone simulation is not desirable, such as when using an acoustic/electric guitar with an onboard preamp or an instrument with active pickups.

Pedal Power Distribution

When the WL-60 receiver is powered via a BOSS PSA-S adaptor, it becomes a power distribution center for other stomps on your board. By using an optional PCS-20A daisy-chain cable, you’re able to power a number of BOSS compact pedals at the same time.

Battery-Powered Operation for Mobile Gigging

When performing on the street or playing gigs that require quick set up and teardown, running your pedals on battery power is often the best way to fly. The WL-60 lets you go wireless as well, with the receiver providing clear, cable-free operation for up to ten hours on two AA alkaline batteries.

Great system - definitely worth the money

This is a great wireless system for home use. The battery lasts a long time, it does not experience any interference. And to my ears, the tone is not affected. If you are deciding between this and something cheaper, spend the extra money on this from the beginning so that you don't have to pay twice.

Cord free!

I’ve heard complaints about the latency, but I don’t notice any, even playing fast, tapping. etc.
The Xvive has higher latency and don’t notice that either. Fits most Gibson and Fender jacks, doesn’t fit the PRS Silver Sky jack, or the concave Asher jack, had to use the Xvive for those guitars. The Boss WL transmitter has a small, spring loaded tumbler that turns on the transmitter when inserted into a jack. I’ve had to unscrew the jack and bend the jack prong to get enough pressure on the tumbler to activate the transmitter on a few of my Fenders and a Duesenberg Starplayer Special. The Xvive has an on/off switch, no tumbler, (no prong adjusting), and is narrow so it fits any guitar jack. IMHO the Boss sounds a tiny bit better. For recording, I would advise using a cable. In a live gig, especially through a PA system, only a pro musician with a really good ear is going to notice the difference between the WL vs cable. If you use WL, always have a cable ready for backup. Remember Murphy’s Law, and the Boy Scout motto:
Be Prepared.

Good for practice

Good for practice. Sound quality not good enough for performing, not dynamic enough. Hopefully one day there will be wireless that IS good enough. **Addendum: You do lose some tiny bits and pieces, but if your amp is miked through a PA system the difference between a cable and this wireless will very likely go unnoticed. I’ve read some complaints about the latency, but I don’t detect any, the Vive has higher latency and I don’t detect that either. Maybe some ultra-high speed shredder can detect it. This wireless won’t work on the PRS Silver Sky, won’t fit in the jack plate, the Vive will**
