I believe you will be pleased with the result my friend!
I certainly am & everyone else appears to be. :)
It is one of those things that ends up being better than you expect it to be.
Which is always a good thing.

Well I always RTFM first, no matter how simple it looks to operate (sometimes my wife gets mad at me for that; "Why you need to read it? Just turn it on!". Most of times she´s right, but I read it all the same :)).
Shameful... That kind of behavior will result in you losing your man card, Sabas... Don't tell me is you follow assembly instructions, and ask for directions when you're lost too! :D
What? I thought that RTFM was required for getting the man card! Not to mention asking for directions, especially if you are with your wife or GF! Assembly instructions too? :shock:

Thinking about it though, my only concern is electrical interference from PC stuff, cell phone recharging stations and fluorescent fixtures which are only a couple feet from my desk chair which is where I spend all my time playing. Even with cables I get a ton of it so I can only imagine what it might be like with a wireless setup. A lot of the lower rated units also got complaints about latency and hiss, even from under 10 feet away...

Maybe I´ll regret exposing this here, but, I actually "take my leaks" seated, just like with number 2, to avoid splashing urine drops everywhere. You´ll see, as I also do the bathroom cleaning, it´s for making my job easier in the end. :mrgreen:

I think that we should get back to the main subject, guitar wireless systems and the such :lol: :lol:

Yes, I think you will regret mentioning that. It's best to handle these matters on a "need to know" basis and I don't think any of us here needed to know that.

My father {who was in a slightly inebriated state at the time} once told me that if you're ever at a date's house to just get down on you knees so that they couldn't hear you. You might want to consider that as another more manly option...:)

I had $30 in my Amazon account, so I took advantage and got the Lekato, clear as a bell.

Was tempted to buy from their website since they had a 20% off deal, but Big River shipping was next day, and I am impatient.

Note taken on the knees trick! LOL :lol:

This part of this thread made my day! LOL

(but I´m taking your advices seriously. Again, let´s go back to guitar wireless systems, nothing more to see here!)

I've been using my wireless for over two months now, and I still have PCS! (Phantom Cord Syndrome). I always have to remind myself that I can move around freely without having to be mindful of the cable that isn't there... Anybody else experience this?

I´m about to experience it. After long months of playing without barely making any movement because of my cable - it´s shorted, or something; it would only transmit sound when I managed to get "the right position", and then I would play in statue mode :| -, I´m finally going to try the Lekato´s next weekend hopefully.

Guess it would take me a while before realizing I´m free!

(Also, we´ve just sold our dinning room table, so I have more space to move free, like if I was on a freakin´ music stage!)

Wish me luck; haven´t played in months, and still have to overcome Statue and Phantom Cord Syndrome!

I wonder if I've become like an elephant? I had a friend who was a zebra wrangler for the Ringling Brothers circus, and he said when they train (break) elephants, they chain them to a big, sturdy tree, or a post. At first the elephant struggles and tries to break free, but after some time, they eventually resign themselves to the fact that there is no escape for them. Then you can tie them to a lawn chair, and they won't even try to run away.

You have to contact the company and set it up with them before making the purchase. They'll ask you for a link to your Amazon profile, so they know that you're legit. Then they'll need the order number after you make the purchase. When you receive the item, give it about a week, then write your review and send them a link to it. I got my refund in a couple of days.

Sabas was the one who set it up with the company, so he can give you the contact info. This was back in late April, though. I don't know if this offer is still available.
That was pretty much it. I was about to respond to Damon´s question but you did it better and shorter than I´d have done :)

@nomadh I just wrote to them in one of their free stuff offerings; and then it´s as Mossman said. Right now I don´t see any offering, but you can message them on FB asking about their free stuff, saying that you´re interested in one of their 2.4 ghz guitar wireless system and see what happens. They were usually offering free stuff for US and UK customers.

Their last giveaway was on april 23:

Maybe a dumb question, but I presume you´re following Lekato´s FB page - just clicking "like" in their page -?

I don´t have that many followers - friends - on FB, and neither have many product reviews on amazon, but they OK´d me.

Actuallly, they have a giveaway going on for a UHF guitar wireless system, ending this july 20th. Check their FB (Lekato) and Instagram (@lekato_official) accounts.

Don't gig anymore but we have a core group that play together once a week. Four guitar players one drummer one of the guitar players is vocalist and we take turns on the bass anyway we have had what seems to be the same thing for a few months now.
We got ours from Amazon for $39.95 under the brand Getaria. I suspect they are made by the same manufacturer and then branded for the various distributers. It does seem you guys got a much better price than we did.
We play in a music room in one of the guys house the space is nice but kind of small so even in the I'd guess 200sqft room no problems with feedback or interference at all. I have noticed if you get too close to a DI box headphone amp interface or whatever along those lines they start playing the Rice Krispies song snap crackle and pop. They have decent battery life between charges but when they drain down they shut off quickly but have a relatively short recharge time .

QUESTION: Do you leave them plugged in when not in use? I´ve left mine plugged in, both in the guitar and the amp, and to be honest, I haven´t played for a while - two months, give or take -.

I mean, I don´t see a reason why not, but it´s better to unplug them when not in use?

What do you do?

On the contrary, I´ve always disconnected the cable when I knew I would not play for a while...

I usually leave the one in the amp plugged in, but I never know which will be the next guitar I'll choose to play. :)

Great. I don´t think it´ll cause any trouble, really.

Now, one of the advantages of owning just one guitar, is that I always know what guitar I´ll play! :lol:

I take the transmitter out of the guitar - or try to remember to, anyway. I'm mostly concerned about it getting damaged when I put the guitar down on a stand or in the rack (if the jack is on the side of the guitar). I only have one guitar that has the jack low enough for that to reasonably happen, but I think it's a good practice just the same. It reduces the risk of forgetting to turn them off when you're done, killing the battery. It also saves me time when I need to use it again. I don't have to check all my guitars to see which one it's sticking out of.

That's provided I was mindful enough of where I put it to remember where it is the next time. :D
