I had a Shure system and it was ok until it wasn't. I've used line 6 and experienced irritating drop outs on occasions. My current wireless is a Lekato WS50 which comprises a pair of 5.8ghz 'bugs'. £30 off an eBay seller and never once given me any sort of an issue. I regularly gig for over three hours without a break, and they've always done this without needing a charge. The sound is entirely indistinguishable from high quality cable and I cannot imagine how any other system could possibly improve upon them.

Saw this on FB market place, and even with the price of petrol, it was well worth a little jaunt up the M5. I love that folk won't touch HB gear, especially when I know just how good it is. The price was ludicrously cheap, the amp a belter. Loud as the apocalypse, built in tuner which works like a dream, silent fans, and a very usable compressor. Everything you want to access on the front of the amp, speakons at the rear. Excited to gig this.

A fascinating read. Thank you for sharing.

Another Bandeoke. This one outside at the Jolly Sailor. A lovely pub with the beer garden backing onto the River Avon at Saltford Lock. Beautiful and sunny, happy punters, Put my Elf through two cabs as we were outside. It coped effortlessly.

Just back from a festival set. Used my new favourite combination of Elf/BF Midget. Assumed there was quite a lot of bass in the foldback on stage - but no! Engineer told me afterwards a little bit in the drummer's side fill, and nowhere else. That little Elf (and if course the BF cab) is a true wonder.

Used mine through a Barefaced Midget on Thursday. As the title of this thread says - it never ceases to amaze me. Running at 8ohm, into quite a big space, with a loud drummer, I had room to spare. And it sounds amazing too.

Colour me interested Stubbsy

Just gigged with the P1. The sounds I used were excellent, the batteries lasted in both the effects unit and the wireless switcher. It was a 3 hour gig without a break so battery life is clearly not a problem. Downside? The switcher isn't instant, a fraction of a delay between switches. I got used to it very quickly and with a bit of anticipation it wasn't a problem. For someone else it might be a deal breaker. Also if you're a bit clumsy you can easily activate the drum machine by mistake. If like me you haven't worked out how to do this and more importantly how to switch it off again, this can cause some embarrassment.

Great tool for silent practice. Headphone socket, plus it receives Bluetooth from your phone, has a metronome, drum machine and looper. And of course all those effects, and amp and cab sims. Apparently if your phone or tablet does OTG (whatever the heck that is) you can record directly from it too. And no power cables.

A few pics...it's so tiny!

The problem with multi effects is similar to locking a fat kid in a sweet shop. At least it is with me. Wow! I have a thousand effects - I must use them all AT THE SAME TIME!! And just like the kid sat in his puddle of puke, the end result is never savoury. So, rather than setting up a complicated 'clean' sound duplicating it, altering each duplication, finding the levels don't match altering them again and ending up in a complete mess, I shall go for a simple solution for the first gig with the Prime. Four individual effects, one on each switch of the wireless switcher. I gig in a Bandeoke band and it's a small rig, get in and out quickly type situation. Punters all over the stage and no place for pricey pedal boards. I like the idea of my effects fitting in a pocket, tweakable at eye level on my phone.

Sorry I didn't get back to you, I've been having way too much fun with this little box of tricks. It's tiny, comes with a nice little protective case, lots of warnings not to be too rough with it which raised a bit of a flag. However, it comes with a four year warranty which is not to be sniffed at and really, once you connect the app on your phone,you don't need to touch the device itself. The effects I have tried sound good, except the pitch shift which is horrible. The wireless foot pedal I bought to compliment it is great, the app super simple to use and that's all I can say so far.

The P1 arrives this afternoon. First impressions to follow. I'll gig it on Thursday.

Beautiful. Love a bit of bling on a bass.

I have some mates coming from the US for a visit end of the year. Wonder if they could get one past customs 🤔

Always think these things are worth a punt. The occasions they work out leave me very smug. When they don't on the other hand... My sympathies.

It's definitely a box I'm happy to have recently opened but I can't see any way out of it

Correct.
