Going wireless with JP15

[wolfdogg]

Anybody gone the route of buying 2 wireless guitar systems and using both to play both magnetic and piezo?

If so, can I grab 2 of the same units without a worry of interference? Any recommendations for an affordable unit that would do this?

Thanks!

That is doable, each wireless will assign it's own channel based on what else is going on around it. I use a Shure GLX-D16 and love it. Love it.

A less expensive way is to use a single wireless and an AB switch. When my purple sparkle Majesty arrives, this is how I'm running it.

I don't think the single with an A/B would work, would it? If it's an unbalanced signal coming out, you can't switch back and forth between piezo and active. The A/B would only route a your active pickups through the A/B switch and you could split your sound there but you wouldn't be able to use the piezo.

I'll probably visit the music store and try a couple cheap wireless systems to test it all out as I'm not seeing any other way.

I'm still trying to figure out why no manufacturer is making a stereo wireless guitar system though. Is there a technology roadblock with a stereo signal that I'm not understanding, I wonder?

Appreciate the reply though!

I'm already doing this with my 2005 JP7 and a single guitar cable. One of the jacks on my JP7 has both magnetic and piezo outputs. So when it's time use piezo, I flick the switch on the guitar, press the AB switch on my pedal board and my piezo is routed to the fishman preamp and out to the PA. The fishman is optional but I think the piezo sounds better with.

Dual wireless just means double the issues. The cables are fragile and use proprietary connectors. More batteries to deal with and 2 wireless packs on your strap.

I would never cheap out on a wireless system - especially if you gig with high gain.

That's pretty cool that it's working for you this way. Odd that even Ernie Ball didn't suggest this when I emailed their support. They told me I would need 2 wireless systems. I'll give this a try and see if it works for me. Trust me.. I don't want double the the issues with 2 of everything and that's why I'm asking.

Not trying to cheap out with a wireless system either. I just know you can get some pretty solid wireless systems without spending a fortune these days so was just curious what others are satisfied with. I'll reply back after testing all this out soon.
Thanks!

This is how I run, as well. I use a Helix and a Shure GLX-D. Just use the shared output if you have duals on the guitar (usually the top one). The only limitation is if you're trying to run both signals to separate routes simultaneously. For that you need two wireless units.
