Thank you, I'll give it a try maybe... As I said I'm scared about 2.4Ghz but adding 5.8 could solve the problem. The GLXD16+ has small bodypack and stomp receiver, that is a plus. I was asking about walls just to make a comparison with the Boss WL-20, that suffers a lot from the presence of obstacles (at least in my case). I was blaming the frequency range but maybe I should blame Boss

Hi there!
I'm using since some weeks a Lekato WS-90 wireless system and it works amazingly good.
No issues at all...long battery duration, no latency, no noise, no interfernces, no signal loss.
I've used it at home and reharsing with my band (no lives yet) and I had no problems at all.
Of course, it's a 5.8 GHz system...and this makes a big difference, I assume.
What I don't know if a 5.8 GHz stereo wireless system do exist.

A bit expensive...but...
I had a very bad experience with the stereo Lekato, maybe they did a better work on the ws90.
I think it's cheap to be honest... Boss WL-20 goes for 190€ while the Nux is "only" 163€ (on Amazon Italy, at least). I've read some good reviews about the Nux but obviously it's not reliable as the Shure🎤 Nux C-5RC Wireless System

The stereo one you used is a 2.4 GHz system, while WS-90 is 5.8 GHz but it's not stereo...and Lekato does not produce any 5.8 GHz stereo wireless system.
But the Nux is 5.8 GHz and stereo....if that's not too expensive for you, I would give it a try....Then Thomann has a good policy for returns as well.
About reliability...I wouldn't worry too much about it
Nux is mono, sadly. They use TRS connectors but the RING is used only to charge the transmitter. I could give it a try anyway buying two of themThe stereo one you used is a 2.4 GHz system, while WS-90 is 5.8 GHz but it's not stereo...and Lekato does not produce any 5.8 GHz stereo wireless system.

Aaaaah! Bummer!
It's a fake stereo...too bad...sorry about that, I didn't noticed.
If you've to buy 2 units...well....I would suggest to consider the Lekato WS-90 and save some money.
I bet quality is the same among Nux or Lekato.
But having 2 floating transmitters connected to the guitar could be a pain in the ass.
Let's go with one more question. Someone said that there's no stereo system on the market because the 2 transmissions could interfer each other. But what about in-ear monitoring? That's a stereo transmission and it works. Am I missing something here?

This is the receiver: Shure AD4Q Receiver
This is the belt pack: Shure AD1 Bodypack Transmitter
The price is not for the faint of heart.

Jesus Christ, needless to say it's out of budget ("you don't say?")
What do you think about 5.8ghz freq? Is it more reliable than 2.4ghz?
And I would like to directly ask you this
Only bad news unfortunately. Could not find any budget way and I've bought a couple of Shure GLXD16+ in the end. Around 600€ each almost everywhere, I've found them on Amazon for 530€ with a discount. They work very well obviously, and the stomp-styled receiver fits really well in a pedalboard. The two transmitters are bound to the guitar strap with elastic strips bought Amazon for 10€, they are a bit heavy but very solid. Had to solder a custom Y cable to connect them to the Majesty. I have to face one antenna up and the other one down to avoid interferences, as someone already told in this thread. Plus: the Shure customer support is awesome, they always reply via email in a few hours.
Conclusion (at least for me): save money, buy Shure or Sennheiser, ignore your empty wallet for a while and be happy

The someone is Maddi, who techs for John Petrucci, btw.
Uh you're damn right! So many people answered here (I'm honored btw) and I just could not remember which user was that "someone". It was Maddi and I'm honored againThe someone is Maddi, who techs for John Petrucci, btw.

Hey, you all!
Very useful information indeed! The JP system is definitely for pros with a generous budget, so I thought I could share my grain of sand here:
I'm not a pro, but I play very often in small to mid-sized halls/venues. I have a JP6 guitar and I've been using a Samson Concert 88x Guitar system for a few years; it's a UHF system, so there are no latencies and a better working range (300'/100m line of sight).
The downside is that it may require licensing for use in certain locations (see here). Nevertheless, it's a very trusty system, and not that expensive (~US$250 so you can get two for the price of one Shure GLXD16+ system). I'd consider it a good alternative for a dual-channel solution.
Another downside is that the receiver is not as handy as the Shure's, as it is bigger, so it won't fit in the pedalboard as easily. In most cases, it'll require a different approach, such as setting the receiver(s) in a different location and running a TRS cable from them to the pedalboard inputs. However, the cost-benefit ratio could be worth it. Well, it's not cheap, but at least it's a good quality alternative!

I ended up getting a couple 5.8 GHz systems. One from NUX (wouldn’t buy again, has some issues once in a while with connection) and the Fender Telepath. I just stick one in each jack on the JP XI and the JP6 20th and it has worked well so far at a couple gigs. Each pair of wireless trans-/receiver were about $190 (so about 400 bucks total). I do need to solve the issue of them spinning around whilst I move around on stage. I think a thin bit of double sided tape on the plugs of the transceivers may help.
On the Majesty, with the single stereo jack I haven’t found a solution yet. But a Y splitter cable (TRS -> 2xTS), with each leg of the Y different lengths should work. Then the Y cable could be velcro attached to the guitar strap and the two transceivers wouldn’t hit each other. So, maybe I do have a solution now.
Glad this thread got bumped…I hadn’t thought of that before. LOL
