bassfan Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Afternoon all, Does anyone use the xvive u2 on a regular basis? I’m considering one , I just wondered whether any of you guys do and your thoughts. I have a line 6 G50 but I don’t use it as it’s on my pedal board, which rarely comes out. This just looks smaller and more convenient. I can look at all the reviews online and will do, just better to get some good old feedback from those that actually use them! Cheers. Quote
walshy Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 I use the G10 at home, canny bit of kit for about £100. G50 on my board too. Quote
bassfan Posted March 10, 2019 Author Posted March 10, 2019 I quite the idea of having no cables and packs to deal with .... plug n play. 😃 Quote
bassfan Posted March 10, 2019 Author Posted March 10, 2019 G10 looks kinda cool though. Very compact. Quote
walshy Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Yeah super small, bloody good bit of kit for the money. Quote
fleabag Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 I use Xvives, and love them. Dont think mine are U2 model, but regardless, they're really convenient. I get 3-3.5 hours from a charge, which is enough for most gigs Quote

No latency or quality issues with slap sound or low end? Quote
fleabag Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 No problems with mine, either latency or quality. Had them a couple of years now. Yes, always take spare cables, but you'd do that even if you didnt use Xvives. I only charge mine the night before or the same day, depending Quote

Lozz196 Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Our guitarist uses them and has been very pleased. I`ve got the Boss WL20 which is also good but a bit more costly than the U2. Went with the Boss as it sorts out the frequencies itself, rather than having to choose settings - with middle-aged eyesight/dark stages this was a feature I couldn`t turn down. 1 Quote
fleabag Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) Yep, it's a nice touch having the units sort frequency. The one thing that the Xvives have that i really like is that they're angle adjustable. Useful if you have different jack mounts. Also a 20ft range advantage over the Boss, but that's not a big deal Edited March 10, 2019 by fleabag Quote

I like the look of the adjustable angles and it would match the carbon neck 😂 Quote
fleabag Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Used them with both passive and active - not had a problem. 1 Quote
