First KZfaqr ever to mention the most important point when testing guitar wireless units…… how will it interact onstage with other wireless things going on! Thank you Ola for pointing this out. Most other reviewers go wondering down their garden to show how far the range is…. Pretty pointless when you get to a gig and it drops out within 5 feet ! Lol

@metalpuppet5798 25 күн бұрын

I totally get the one guitar and pitch shifter approach. However I also think the sound quality suffers pretty massively when using any kind of pitch shifter. The non-effected signal sounded much clearer. But hey. Cant always bring all the guitars :D

@mikewifak 25 күн бұрын

I’m always amazed when people who seem to care about their sound are willing to use a pitch shifter like this. It sounds completely artificial to my ears.

@metalpuppet5798 25 күн бұрын

@@mikewifak in this case where its only like a minor third or so its actually kind of ok and as I said its just totally not practical to bring multiple guitars for a couple clinics. But any further than this its a real problem. But then again I also generally think that most guitar tones loose way too much definition when tuned down beyonde like A or G#. You really need someone who knows how to mix those guitars to make them sound any good. And a lot of the times even they fail to do it imo

@StaySic4Ever 25 күн бұрын

I have one guitar and use Digitech Drop pedal for lower tunings. Primarily in 2 and a half step down setting, it's quite solid, yeah much lower steps can muffle sound but you can compensate with amp/boost/volume a bit. Neat stuff as most bands play non-standard and I don't have 10+ guitars.

@StaySic4Ever 25 күн бұрын

@@metalpuppet5798 oh yeah for sure, need actual proper tone and mix for extremely low tunings. I managed to get decent tones for even A0 heh, but yeah not as good as some bands, no gear or knowhow. But bands like Within the Ruins and Humanity's Last Breath their tone is awesome and fits so well.

Our singer and bassist are both on a Shure wireless and QC rig with zero issues. I upgraded from a Line6 wireless to this new Shure system and it's been rock solid, even at the venues that would often give our previous wireless packs problems. I really like the added jack letting you run a cable in should something with the wireless go haywire.

@Dr.Eisenarm 21 күн бұрын

Did you have any problems with the Line 6 Relay? I've also got one, but didnt have any problems until now.

@FastRedPonyCar 21 күн бұрын

@@Dr.Eisenarm Yeah I had a G30 for a long time and never had problems out of it until we started playing at a couple new venues that ALWAYS gave them problems. Signal dropping randomly, static, etc. The Shure's were totally fine at those places. I got a G50 hoping to get out a bit cheaper but it also would not work properly at those venues so I returned it and got the GLDX 16+. Haven't had a bit of trouble since.

I've had the previous gen Shure GLDXWhatEVER wireless system. It's worked great for 5+ years. The key is to not allow one of those cheap IEM transmitters to get between you and your receiver. Then, it gets garbly. Otherwise, fantastic unit.

Ola! Olé! I'm loving the lead tone. Rhythm tone seems a bit looser than what you usually sling... But that's what dialing in is all about, right brother? EDIT: Damn! Really digging the selection of notes, and clean picking on the solo. Also the chord progression on the solo is excellent!

Hi Ola! Maybe a strange request but could you maybe explain in a video how you edit your videos? I'm not talking about the software you use because that is know, but could you show and explain how you change camera angles in the software when you record with multiple camera's? I understand you sync the audio and video streams, but how do you make the cuts between the camera angles in the software? cheers (maybe you could do that kind of video on your 2nd channel?)
