Noise when using Xvive U2 Wireless guitar system.

When I connect my guitar to my Helix LT via the Xvive U2, I always hear an annoying noise when I strum a string.

If I connect it with a cable, everything is fine. Clear sound.

If I connect the guitar wirelessly to the amplifier using the Xvive U2, the sound is also good.

On the input, I have tried the input gate set to On and Ofn.
And I've tested the guitar pad Global, Off, and On, with no effect on the noise.

The guitar is a Fender strat. But also with my Squier strat it's the same.

Please help me.

I also have the Xvive U2. It sucks but does not have the problem you're describing.

It is VERY sensitive to positioning in relation to anything else electronic that might be in the same room (or building or county).

Also temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, phase of the moon...

It doesn't work any better or worse when connected to my Helix than direct to the amp.

 

I would look around for anything that might possibly be interfering with its signal (fish tank?).

 

FWIW - I have another 2.4 unit, as well as a cheap UHF (excessive compression) and a 5.8.

The 5.8 is the least troublesome and was the cheapest wireless on Amazon ($30 vs $150 for the Xvive 5.8).

Go figure!

 

The common problem with all of them is battery life. When fully charged they work OK but as soon as they get a bit discharged they start to have dropouts.

I HATE grabbing my guitar in a fit of inspiration and having it ruined by dropouts!!!

I'd rather trip on cables.

 

Someday when I hit the lottery I'll buy a PRO system, but until then I'll stay wired.
