Hey Gang,
I need a different wireless now that I'm using the Maz 18 Jr.
I've been using a Shure PGX Guitar system, and the Dr. Z amp has exposed flaws in it. I've even exchanged it for a different PGX, and still the same problems. It adds a bad wide band Hiss to the amp, also the sustain is better with a cable. I didn't notice that before, but now with the high end amplifier I do.
Ideas, experiences and comment appreciated.
Thanks,
MH

i currently use a sennheiser 172. i've used various samson, shure audio technica wireless and all fall short of the sennheiser. interference is NEVER a problem and the transmitter is much more adjustable that the others.

+1 on the Sennheiser. I have a 372 because I wanted the XLR out (and had a source for one at cost) but the 172G2 has XLR out as well.

I have a Shure PGX Wireless have not had any problems with noise although there is a slight drop in sustain with it... may go to a cable and use the wireless with my acoustic. Am I was losing about 25% of my signal, and the tone was awfully altered. I tried 4 different ones too, and came to realize that this unit is plain lame. Shure should be ashamed to have this hunk on the market. In the world of electric guitar, you can't afford signal loss because it rolls downhill from there, and there's nothing you can do to make it REALLY right. I'm currently back to using a Samson SR22 VHF made back in 1990, and it EATS the PGX. Absolutely zero comparison. Also I'm learning the UHF just isn't all it's cracked up to be as a whole. I don't have too many complaints about Shure products, and in fact I use ALL Beta 58 mis for vocals, and have a very long history of old 58's and 57's. Also I come across their IEM rigs often, etc, but guitar wireless is an area best left unexplored by Shure. The sheer list price of the PGX should dictate that it be a MUCH better product before an obviuosly sleepy Quality control control dept. let this thing slip out the door. Mark Humphrey Humphrey Audio

Mark, I use a AKG UHF SR40 Diversity with the small "guitar bug" like input. I like it a lot. Great for switching guitars. Just switch to mute and unplug and insert on the next guitar, then turn off mute. I use an A-B switch so I can have one signal go to my amp and another signal go to the PA when I use my acoustic. It uses AAA batteries that are rated to last 8 hours, I just put a new one in for every gig. The only problem I had was I live in southern New Jersey and usually gig in Pennsylvania and had a lot of noise and such, I called AKG tech and they said a TV station was on that frequency so they exchanged it for one that was good in both locations. Hope this helps.

Hope this helps. new Thanks, I had a Samson Air Line, same MO as the AKG basically, and I liked it alot. I used it for 3 years before I wore it out and wanted to go with a high end UHF. Turns out the Old Samsom Stage 22 sounds as great as anything, and it's serving me very well right now. Thanks, Mark Humphrey Humphrey Audio
