Ah, but the spirit's the thing, especially at this time of year.

All the best of the season to you and yours from Down Under.

Hah . . . Thanks Ron, but no you don't. I said I play tenor sax, not that I play it well. lol I'm mostly a utility guitar picker in a church band, and occasionally sub on sax if needed. I've also used my XD-V75 with a LR Baggs mandolin pickup with good results. Mandolin is another instrument that I don't play well, but I never let that stop me.

To reinforce Ron's point, I've also used it with my Relay G-50 with excellent results.

Sure have, Don...

Although I'm sure you'll appreciate that they're almost never required for beer-related injuries at this time of year.

(We do, however, tell the occasional lie...)

Agreed ... it's not a requirement. In fact I feel that using the gain control is a "band-aid". It doesn't "fix" the problem but it can stop the bleeding.

Ron ... you got band-aids down there in Oz?

The WB98H/C is great for clamping to any loud instrument and "plugging and playing" with Line 6 TBP12 beltpacks, be they transmitting to XD-V55 or XD-V70/75 receivers.

I don't feel that the v2 software's additional output level trim (that's only applicable to the V70/75s) is a prime requirement, as the Shure WB98H/C only yields "normal" dynamic mic levels from the outputs of either of the receivers in question.

Nevertheless, I reckon that the other additional features "bundled" with the v2 software, plus the antenna options, make the additional cash for a V70 or V75 a very wise investment in both flexibility and peace of mind.

I have a Shure wb98h/c that I use for my tenor sax. It works just fine with my XD-V75H. Since the WB98H/C is designed for high SPL applications, I would assume that you are using it for brass, drums, etc.
