To everyone asking if it works on a pedal board. YES. All it does is transmit the audio signal. You can plug it directly into your pedal. It has onboard systems to output the audio signal at the correct gain. It won't be quieter than a cable, and should keep it's volume until it loses signal. When it loses signal you will just have a terrible sound but the volume will be the same.
Please up-vote this. It's so obvious, but apparently this needs to be boosted to the top of the comments.
I NEED. I can use the toilet and shred🤘🏻
lol yes!!

Let me answer every single question left unanswered below in one sentence: this works exactly the same way as a guitar cable but there are about 6ms of added latency which is barely noticeable on a hardware rig. Now the "gravy" clarifications: Yes, it works going into pedals, or a pedal board, or into your DAW audio interface, or even a iRig-like device for mobile devices. But latency is cumulative for software applications/monitoring, so it's a better live tool than recording tool unless you use zero-latency monitoring for your recording. Yes, it sounds great. Yes, 5 hours is enough battery time. Yes, it will fit your [fill in the blank] guitar. Yes, it is cheaper than any other comparable wireless system I'm aware of. No, it is not durable (its plastic), so thrash rockers can keep their cables. One other downside -- putting these near a wifi router can interfere (causing breakup in sound) -- you'll need to get away from the router by about 5 feet or so.
BigDancin does it solve guitar buzz problems ?
Dude thank you!! You are the shit!! This is the answer I’ve been looking for, I couldn’t figure out why I was hearing static on it? My damn router is in the same damn room
I've been wireless for yrs. Built a board in last month. Just tried cable for first time and sound was terrible. Big loss of treble. Thing is first pedal Wampler dB-1 buffer_boost. Is a cable different impedance than wireless? I dont know but wireless sounds awesome and is good for 200'
How does it handle low input impedance fuzzes? They don’t like buffers, so I guess they probably don’t like these things?
Regarding WiFi routers interfering with the signal of the wireless system. Well, there are now guitar wireless systems that work in a different and less-crowded frequency such as 5.8Ghz. So it can solve that little issue
I freaking love this channel, humor, sweet licks, and reliable guitar accessories! Love you \M/
3:41 I was so afraid of the headstock being caught between those doors.😂
same
Much appreciated, Tyler! Also, I used my ESP LTD White Zombie with its EMGs and it worked great with no problems from the XVive!
AMAZING. Ok, now I just need a waterproof Telecaster. Any advice?
SR 0 What are you talking about, man?
Paolo Schiavi any telecaster will do
what is this guys plan
now people can hack your guitar!
the Russians have already done that...they know EVERY note this guy plays.
No, now the can here our sick tunes
Skyhunter_2K hear* they* how do you fuck up that badly?
too much alcohol consumption
Now they will play Lil Wayne solo when you perform live
I use this wireless system live and in rehearsals for my band. The only time I've ever had an issue with it is when we'd play a club where the wireless router was close to the stage. It'd give a little interference that'd cause some drop out, sometimes remedied by channel switching, sometimes not. Some people mentioned cross talk between other wireless units, but I haven't had that issue. All in all, I'd say that it's a great system and I'd recommend it.

Nah dude you missed a 0
Got me one … 5 years later … it’s on the way!!! Can’t wait !
I bought one of these and it’s been stellar. I have a Strat with active pickups and no problems. So I bought another for the Marshall mini stack in my den. Had a friend over, I was playing my Les Paul through a Line 6 Spider V 60 and he was playing my Taylor 214, same room no problems at all, except I had to turn my guitar down.
I bought one a few weeks back on Amazon for £115.00, works great. One thing to note, I didn't pay enough attention to the fact that it was actually being supplied, through Amazon, by Xvive Direct. As they are based in China it took just under 2 weeks to arrive. No big deal but it is amazing how quickly you become used to things arriving next day or the day after. Still a great product, the only reservation is, will being made of plastic affect it's life, if that life is spent "on the road".
IT LOOKS SO MUCH FUN WALKING 'ROUND THE HOUSE PLAYING THE GUITAR OMG I WANT ONE
It is fun!! I even laid in bed and played when I was sick lol
That’s the first thing I did lol
Great video, helped me make up my mind.
I bought this product, my first as well been playing 30 years. It is a great product
Dude the fact that he played white one hand and the other holding a camera 📷 wow so amazing 😉 you are very talented :) .
the art is fantastic!!
That's a beautiful house!!!
Just ordered for my bass. Will also try it with my harmonica rig.
Good job - thanks!
Dude that's an awesome system I'll look into it
Thanks man, good helpful video👍
I have it-Love it!
can you use it with pedals ? i mean four of them , all wireless , moving around with pedal ?
-T-X-M- it would be fun
Devrim Odabaşı the way I would is connect the input on the last pedal
You can be 100 feet away from your first pedal, then have that one 100 feet away from your next pedal, and so on, until you're at the other side of the world still annoying your neighbours.
SheepHair, You know I actually wonder if that would work, because on paper it should work :P
the amp to pedal would be with cable and the end of the pedal to guitar you can put your wireless
Thanks for this. Have you done any testing to see if other wireless sources (particularly ones that operate at 2.4 GHz, like the Xvive) cause any inference with the Xvive? For example, mobile phones, other Xvive's being used at the same time, in the same (rehearsal) space, and so on?
Thanks for your excelent vídeo. Hugs from Rio de Janeiro.
wow i am so out of the loop..last one i got was a of the Nady type ..big box on the amp..impressive..and i sure do enjoy all your videos..thank you
Guitar equipment demo/ house tout
Justin Patire tout like a tiger
so artistic
OMG the art
Not bad if the signal can travel 100ft through walls. Is it me, or was it starting to wash out at the 100ft mark?
I was thinking the same thing. 100 ft across a stage vs. 100ft through walls are two different things. It held up but I did think it got a bit fainter but still overall good
Kyle Olin it was the battery
That was the camera, not the Xvive.
Why the hell would you end up 100 feet from your amp?
more important question, why dyou expect a wall between you and your amp?
Awesome! I want one!
Great review. looks way more convenient that my old sennheiser system. Plus to answer comments below about using with effects pedals/boards...I found that to be fully wireless and cable free...I needed two systems.
so u just used multiple wireless systems to hook up ur pedals?
Yes, my transmitter went from my guitar into a receiver next to my pedal board on channel 1. Out from the receiver it went into my pedal chain and out into a second transmitter, which was on channel 2. That wirelessly sent the signal to the second receiver sitting on top of my Marshall head...which fed into it's input. After a while I stuck with a single setup and ran a lead out of my pedals into my Marshall head, whilst still giving me freedom to move around like a loony onstage and jump in front of the monitors now and again so i could hear what the audience was, rather than my wedge monitor.
One night, our bass player was on channel 3 of his wireless rig and our drummer going through channel 4 of his headphone microphone that he did backing vocals from. Unfortunately the venue ran parallel to a large taxi rank....We had their dispatch calls coming through the channel and into the PA...audience thought it was part of the act during the song....drummer didn't see the funny side !!!...The joys of old school wireless Georgia !
+Rich F cool shit bro, cool shit!
Any tonal differences on your "usual settings" due to no cable?
I didn't notice any at all!
Music is Win v
None whatsoever
I just purchased a pair of these. And in regards to them working from a wireless standpoint, they’re fine. However, I was not satisfied with the tone. They definitely affected both drive and sustain. So I was highly disappointed. Will be returning them
@@ericnelson9111 i notice no such loss. Must be your set up.
I'm a bass player, but I think we just bonded. Well made video. I'm ordering one now. They should send u a sales commission!!!!
I can't stand cables or wires. I damaged my old guitar by pulling and stepping on the cord all the time so I went wireless for about 100$. There is no sound difference. Just have to keep charging AA batteries for it. Well worth it.
try xvive U2 next time
Have you heard about the xvive u2? I hear it's a great wireless alternative.
yes,it's great wireless
Ive been using the AKG wireless bug system for yrs. Got a couple of them used of EBay. I love them for switching guitars fast. And keeping cables off floor and out of way. My rig is noisier with a cable plugged in.
Thanks for a great test! I could not stop laughing watching it, but it gave me info I was after 👍.
The big question, does it work well with ACTIVE Bass/Guitars? I've read quite a bit that this system and a few similar ones struggle with Active Guitars.
definition of cool!😎👍🏼
That's pretty good, I would love to try it, i roadie for Unforgettable Fire the U2 tribute band out of NY, we currently use the line 6 wireless. we do a lot of outdoor gigs I wonder how this unit would work with all the other RF going around at outdoor gigs
Good! Thanks!
I've had one for about a year and a half and it works very well. I don't gig with it but have taken it to jams without any problems. The only problem I've had is that it interferes with my TV. I don't have cable, just broadcast and it interferes with that. I don't know what would happen if more than one person was using one at the same time. I guess you would all have to be on different channels.
Fun stuff, thanks:)!!!!
I can't concentrate because of "the art" lololol! Great video.
Kevin
Can I add multiple transmitters? As like is it possible to have one receiver have 2 guitars (transmitters) at the same time? Hope it makes sense?
Hello and thank you for the review video. I bought a XVive U2 system
after watching your video. I have two issues with it and I was wondering
if you know the answer:
1. when I connect my guitar to the amp
directly using a cable, I put the amp volume to 1 and it's low enough.
But when I connect the XVive system I can't hear anything and I should
turn up the volume to 3. Have you faced the same problem? any solution?
2. the system doesn't memorize the channels. Basically anytime I turn them on I have to do the channel setup again.
You should try running a cable from your amp, to your pedal board, and then run the transmitter from the output of the pedal board to the guitar. That would make for an interesting video... Because I might use this to gig if it sounds fine through a board.

Derp Derpson why would you run it from the output of the pedal board to the guitar? Surely you mean the output of the guitar to the input of the board!?
I built my board after I been using wireless for a long time . Keep mine transmitter on the amp so I got cable running from wireless transmitter to first pedal and 2 cables out to separate amps. I actually use 3 ft cables to keep length short since I can go far enough away with the wireless. Everything is in its place away from anything that could cause noise. My system is real quiet unless I have too many drives engaged at once. Same as it should be if I used a cable all the time.
I went Wireless and never went back!!
I have a Line 6 G-10. Inexpensive (under $200) and works fine for live shows and P&W context. Albeit I can't run around entire club or auditorium but no cables and I feel no tone loss.
have on love it
The shower door slowly shutting was a masterpiece, lol!
I got the xvive about a year ago and yeah it's amazing. I love the easiness all around and no delay with great feedback
That's pretty cool 👌
Sweet! This is an entirely new way to play with myself in the shower.
🤣
Now people on stage can use that, but have the one on their guitar turned off, and have another guitar player backstage...
Uh oh
Great!! Love it! and neighbors garden?
Hell yeah! This is perfect for jumping around in circles endlessly on stage like a child while playing and not get fucked up with the cable
damn. I need this shit.
Really didn't need to see you playing your ax in the shower...
What do you do for a living?
Can you play some Robin Trower psychedelic blues? If so, I'll buy tickets to your concerts. You rock those strings really good!
Now I can rollerskate and jam upndown the street.
EXCELLENT!!!!
1:37 Holy shit that move was awesome.
I noticed that years ago Keith Richards and Ronnie Woods didn't used patch chords and wondered about the new way of transmitting what they were playing to their amps.
It's definitely not stuff like this. These cheap ones use 2.4ghz wireless, which is the same as WiFi and is prone to interference. Pros use professional grade wireless transmitters and receivers such as the Shure ULX-D system. The benefits to these are:
1. much more reliable, stable, and clean signal
2. less prone to RF interference, especially when there are multiple systems being used at the same time
3. more rugged/durable
4. longer battery life
But they do cost easily $1200+ per channel, so it's up to the individual if the peace of mind is worth paying 10x the price.
Seen your video for the first time, cause I am hoping to buy a wireless system to. Does the Xvive U2 also work work good onstage?
Do you know if I could hook this up to my Mac for GarageBand if I simply use a convertor plug on the receiver to fit the headphone jack???
OK, so I bought one. Used it 6 or 7 times and it operated flawlessly. The 8th time there was a small glitch and I ignored it. The 9th time it completely cut out from about 30 feet away. After that it just sputtered if I moved a foot. Wow, talk about embarrassment on the bandstand but after some testing I learned a valuable lesson. Always make sure your battery is charged before a performance.
Fantastic vedio
It's never going to replace the feel of plugging your guitar into an amp and seeing the studio all messed up with cables.
Maple You will get used to it. Haven't trip a cable in yrs. Absolutely love that part. Also haven't unplugged myself in yrs. L O L
If others in your band use wireless systems (like my band) forget this system. Cross talk makes it unusable. Changing channels makes no difference
Lee Abraham I figured. I have to fight just to play along with my tunes at home. It's still a cool thing tho. And there is a channel setting too. Do u know how to use that? I sure don't.
I tend to agree, I haven't had 'cross talk' but it has intermittent cut out if you get too close to others, on different
channels....
In the setting i play in we have 3 lead wireless mics. so are you saying if i got this it wouldn't work because there are already other wireless devices in use?
Lee Abraham But how do bands like The Rolling Stones or AC/DC or any band with 2 guitarists use these systems in concerts? Or is it a complitely different system?
I haven’t had that issue. Many times we’ve had 3 or 4 U2’s running at the same time and no issues.
How do these work with active pups.? Can you try it out and let me know. Thank you. Also the line 6 G10 wireless. Anybody?
Except for the fact that it pivots I think the Line 6 G-10 relay is superior due to the stowage dock having a built in charger and it having greater range.
that's pretty kwl. i had a wireless system years ago but sold it because it was a lot to carry around. this looks real simple to use and also small
Bonjour " L ' Artiste " ,
Merci pour ta vidéo , qui explique bien en image le mode d'emplois du ( Xvive U2 Demo ) , bien que je n'ai rien compris dans ta langue , mais ta démo est forme là mise en image .
Bien Musicalement de France
Hubert
Ah c'mon ! How could people not like this video ?!
Thank you MIW
Does this work with a guitar that doesn’t have power to run the pickups and whatnot ie. a hollow bodied electric that gets phantom power from the cable? If not, do you know of any wireless system that does provide that phantom power?
I have decided to go wireless due to getting a very nasty shock on stage while at a gig. I do not trust guitar leads anymore so my question is, is there any electrical current running though the connector or is it just battery powered? I know everyone that I sound crazy but the shock was intense and I'd rather play safely from now on. Any help would be great thanks.
nice!
"That's so sick!"
(Sees price....)
"Oh"
SR 0 I don't think you understood what I meant
SR 0 chill out dude
I’m broke
For a wireless, it's actually pretty cheap. Amazon has them for $150. My SHURE system was a hell of a lot more than that.
Mud Dauber Studios And works better!
Great video and test/review, love it
does it work for acoustic as well? I am thinking it would. I may have to look into this little toy. Thanks for the review
Yep!
cool!
tbh this is the best guitar channel in my opinion it not only gives the most helpful lessons but also keeps it entertaining and not so boring
ps i love ur channel
any idea what the frequency is ? i ask this cause I have 2 electronic implants that recieve wireless signals. ( medical implants )
and have had Artifact sounds with other wireless signals when my Glucose monitor transmits. Also Guitar super system is awesome and has pulled a lot of random theory knowledge together for me.. thanks :)
wow nice yes bro this is good 👍
Correct me if im wrong but your signal becomes digital as your analog pedals and expensive amp right?
These are great. Just don't rely on the for active pickups. Been using these for almost 6 years and they seem to work on some of my instruments. On others it gives a really high pitched digital squeel which cannot be fixed.
can you change the battery in these? I have them and they are less than a year old and wont stay charged for more than about 2 hours.
Would the sound be clean enough for upright bass (contrabass)?
I like your videos, im subscribing. simple as that.
This is more of a house tour than a review :)
These work great...only issue is you're dealing with a lithium battery and they have a half-life. My unit had no issues making it through a 4 hr gig for the first year or two fully charged...now it's right on the edge of petering out the last half hour. These really aren't serviceable unless you're a complete electronics geek so you'd have to consider it a disposable unit that you get 2-3 years out of tops. The sound you get is indistinguishable from your cable...there's no dropouts or "pumping" etc.
Just a couple of questions, does it have any cross signal issues? Eg if there are two guitars using these or a radio mic is used do things stay sending to there designated ports? Does it do a spinal tap and start picking up other signals like cab companies or the police? Also how long does the battery last?
doegy Whail I've heard a few accounts of it picking up noise in places with heavy WiFi use. I've played a couple shows with it and used it in the practice space and so far I've had no issues whatsoever.
How do you compare this with the Nux B2 Wireless? Any difference in latency?
what amp is that? your tone is great
I have 2 martin acoustics that I have tried and it has a hum, but sound good, besides hum sound. They both have lrbaggs pickups, 1 undersaddle, other I- beam under bridge, that were not factory, but installed by a master luthier. I have a takamine ean10c that these work on without any issues, at least so far. Can anybody think of a way I can get this to work on my other 2 guitars? I've heard to use a short patch cord, male-to-female, from guitar to transmitter. Thanks.
How can you connect a pedal when you use wireless guitar system?
bro does this work with active pick ups? I play an Ltd snake byte.
Would you recommend it for small to medium size stage gig?
