Short of expensive equipment, you're going to suffer some serious tone loss with a wireless system.

You can get a guitar wireless system at Guitar Center, on Musicians Friend, or pretty much any guitar dealer. If you're going to go wireless, I suggest getting the Sennheiser G2 series. They're more expensive, but you'll suffer less tone loss.
That being said, I no longer use wireless. I find it to be WAY more expensive in the long run due to battery consumption. I also have a need to use the stereo output on my JP's so I can switch between magnetic and piezo.

Are you talking about these?
Hosa pedal effect coupler - Shop sales, stores & prices at TheFind.com
I would be afraid that they could bend the input jacks of the pedals. I think good quality short cables are better.

I bought six of those. I bought Ernie Ball brand thinking they would be decent quality, but they all broke in a short period of time. The tips broke right off on them. And sometimes when I'd step on a pedal, I'd have a short disconnect in my signal, as there is no "give" or flex between pedals. I would stay away from these. I now use good quality short cables as suggested above.

buy a reel of quality guitar cable and some input jacks. and make your own cables up. then you can make them to the exact length you need . so as u dont have a messy setup.

You want a wireless unit to go from one effect pedal to the next one on your pedalboard?
And you want to do this because cables are messy?
That's like going to the emergency room for a papercut, man. If you want more flexibility for cable routing options just go with something like the Planet Waves cut-to-length cables with the screw-on ends. That way you're not limited to the standard 6-inch or 1-ft lengths most patch cables come in, and you can mix-and-match straight and angled ends.
If you're concerned about cable clutter, buy something like a Pedaltrain board where you can hide all the wiring underneath the pedals. Or you can build one yourself.
Using a wireless system in place of your pedal patch cables is expensive, impractical, and unnecessary. Wireless systems are more for going from your guitar to your amp or the FIRST pedal on your board, to give you physical freedom of movement on a large stage.
