mrtcat Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Very happy with my SmoothHound unit. I've done probably 25 gigs with it now in all sorts of venues and it's absolutely great. Not had a single "issue" at all (touch wood) and I feel more confident in using it than any other wireless I've owned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobthedog Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Well, what to say. Chris promised me some replacement Microsuction tape and it was there for me at home today. That is truly great service, thank you. This company deserves to grow. I managed 5 minutes with the unit tonight, and it did not disappoint. Full play at the weekend but so far all very impressive. Big thumbs up for both Chris and the kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big thanks to Dood for putting me in touch with Guitar Interactive magazine who just published my [url="http://edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk//launch.aspx?pbid=09bbc891-57ce-46e2-828d-3bc5adf0c587&pnum=118"]first review[/url].

The magazine reaches all around the world and the subscription figures are massive alone. It's no problem, I really liked (still do) the product and put it forward as a suggestion for review. Oh and of course, it scored very highly in the review too! Congrats! Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I think I've got some magic rechargeable batteries in mine right now - current pair have managed ~10 hours of practise since putting them in freshly charged and still showing 2 bars left. No paranoia of running out mid-gig if they go in fully charged! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelfin Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Tried out for real on Sunday. Main concern was that there are six radio mics and ond other Sennheiser wireless guitar. Instant lock and no interference problems. No dangly bits of cable to strap or pocket. I am well happy with it. Outperforms the Sennheiser my old Audio Technica and others. Cheers Dood for bringing this to BC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_P Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Possibly a daft question and I'm doing something wrong - I'm curious how well everyone is finding the transmitter sticks to the guitar (or more likely bass)? I think it's a great unit - sounds perfect, batteries last ages - it works a treat and I'm very impressed, but mine doesn't seem to stay in place. I've tried it on several guitars (PRS, strat, les paul). Chris very kindly sent me a couple of more sticky pads but which was very generous and impressive customer care, but no difference. Is there a trick to making them more sticky that anyone has found? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I got a second hand one in the post today, looks good. I would like to know if it is possible to buy that tape from anywhere, either shop or online? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothHoundChris Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I can send you a few pieces of tape. We're out of stock right now but should have some more arriving in the next few days. I'll let you know when it gets here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete.young Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Question for Chris - has anyone tried using a SmoothHound in reasonably close proximity to a Panda Midi box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothHoundChris Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Hi Pete, I knew it rang bells, I had a chap in the states asking about compatibility with a Panda Midi box in November for use with his digital accordian. I advised that it should be fine (though Panda don't publish anything about their wireless protocol), he bought a set and I haven't heard back from him. We've got a customer in the UK who reported good behaviour in close proximity to a Fishman Triple Play which is likely to be similar. Devices like a midi box and the Triple Play are relatively low data rate so are very unlikely to cause significant problems to the Classic wireless protocol. The same applies to most bluetooth controllers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Ha ha, busted :-) . Thanks Chris, if and when I get round to it I'll be sure to report back and add another data point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Chris, are your systems going to be at the Formby Guitar Show this Sunday coming (February 7th ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothHoundChris Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Hi Karlfer, Yes, we have a stand at the Formby show this weekend. Only have a strat and marshall combo to demo with though ... feel free to bring along your bass gear!! This situation is guaranteed to be resolved before the London Bass Guitar Show in March Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Excellent Chris, thanks for that! Going to try to put a link to your website on a FB page. Edited February 1, 2016 by karlfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Having had a go with mine, the guitarist in our band has just bought one too. No problems at all with two users in a confined space. May need to get a second transmitter unit at some point I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Tried mine first time live today. What a difference it makes. absolutely faultless and no cables to trip over, love it. Plus the battery level didn't seem to go down on my rechargables for the whole gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBS_freak Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Get some Eneloop AAA. Pair in, pair spare. The spare pair hold their charge. Just charge the "in use" pair after every couple of weeks or so (depending upon how much you use it), done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
