Got this today, just for convenience, works a treat, no real set up other than get it out of the box and use it, also no interference which, given my cranky house electrics is amazing. 100% recommended if you like having something you can do without but won't want to once you get it

It's not really practical because I'd have to plug the headphones into the base unit so would still have the cable length. If it worked the other way, so I could plug the headphone cable into the sender, I could coil the cable up and have it at the back of my neck as it is so small and light.
On another note, I could take the ABY switch out of the loop now, as it is now, I only use it to send a completely clean guitar signal to my interface as well as guitar into my Helix. The base unit has 1/4" and xlr outputs

I never thought sitting in my practise room, that a wireless set up could be so nice to have. I can't explain it because having a cable isn't a big hassle, it's just a great piece of kit, no noise plugging in and out, 8 hours of playing time on one charge, auto standby after 4 minutes, strum the strings and you're back in action.
Next time you get GAS but don't know what to get, get one of these, you don't know it's there, it doesn't really do anything but I wouldn't go back to a cable now and I've only had it for two days

Unfortunately, the G10 doesn't fit in some guitars with recessed jacks. Did your G10 come with a 1/4" adapter to help with that problem?

Yes it did but a male/female 1/4 adapter would do the trick easily and better imho because it would be straight rather than bent. I thought the 90 degree adapter was for making it easier to fit onto a pedal board if you don't have 90 degree patch leads. -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

They started including it a few months ago when people started complaining. What is needed is a male-to-male adapter, which obviously is hard to find . But you're right, straight would be better than 90 degrees.-------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:

Something along the lines of THIS would be fine, definitely not male to male though.

The reason the necessary extender is is so hard to find is because it's not an adapter at all. That's why the only thing they could find to include with the G10 is that stupid right angle extender, which defeats the purpose of the G10. They made a design mistake on the G10 and finding an adapter to solve the problem is very difficult. -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:

That's why I said "along the lines of this". You said male-to-male was needed. I'm confused as to what TRS is. I thought a mono 1/4 make with a mono 1/4 female at the other end would be fine.

Rammikin said "male to male" Todd, it was probably a mistake. That link I posted is a male ¼ with a female 1/4 socket on the back BUT on is stereo and one mono. I wouldn’t put it into the cavity because I have too many guitars and the transmitter is around £60 to buy on its own. It fits all of my guitars anyway

I don't need one but I wonder if that one in the link would work even though it's stereo to mono, would just the mono section work in the stereo side? -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

People who have tried it have reported noise problems. At this point, anyone who has this problem will probably have to make their own extender. -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:

I finally found a solution. My Ibanez S guitars have a barrel jack like this:
 The jack is recessed into the body and the G10 transmitter won't fit in the recess. There is a solution though. The barrel jack can be extended outward by loosening the nut on the inside of the body and putting a spacer under the flange at the end of the barrel that is on the outside of the body.  The problem is if you want to put a spacer under that flange you have to disassemble the jack, cut the wires, then resolder the wiring after you put a spacer under the flange. That was more than I wanted to do just to have a wireless transmitter. The solution that came to me was to use a flexible rubber washer as the spacer. I loosened the nut on the inside of the body, extended the barrel out (it only needed to come out about 1/4"), stretched a rubber washer to slip it on over the flange from the outside of the guitar, then tightened the nut back up. Problem solved and no soldering necessary. So now I'm like Phil and enjoying the luxury of a wireless guitar when playing at home. -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:
