The Easy Path to Wireless Freedom

Going cable free doesn't get any easier than the BOSS WL-20. This wireless system eschews complicated setups in favor of a simple plug-and-play design. It sounds so good you may never use a standard cable again! Experience ultra-low latency and expansive dynamics while enjoying rock-solid stability and a 50-foot operating range. And if you're worried about losing your plugged-in tone — don't. The WL-20 emulates the sound of a 10-foot cable with jaw-dropping accuracy. And charging the components of the system is as easy as plugging into a standard USB adapter. Get a BOSS WL-20, and say goodbye to your cable management woes.

As easy to use as a standard guitar cable

If you suffer from technophobia, BOSS's WL-20 will ease your anxiety. The guitarists here at Sweetwater have found that it's as easy to use as your standard guitar cable. Simply plug the transmitter into your instrument and the receiver into a pedal or your amp. Pairing the transmitter and receiver is also a breeze. Just dock them together for about 10 seconds, and the WL-20 does all the work for you.

You don't have to sacrifice your plugged-in tone to go wireless

You don't have to sacrifice tone when you use the BOSS WL-20, thanks to its built-in cable tone simulation. This innovative technology mimics the natural capacitive effect of a 10-foot guitar cable. It rolls off your treble a bit, yielding the sound you've come to expect from a quality cable. Cable tone simulation works best with guitars or basses with passive pickups.

If you can charge your smartphone, you can charge this

Do you have a smartphone? Do you know how to charge it? Of course you do. Well, charging the WL-20 is just as easy. When docked, its transmitter and receiver both charge with a standard USB adapter. You can also charge the transmitter separately via the included micro USB cable. The WL-20 requires a USB adapter of 5V/500 mA or greater.

Boss wl 20 wireless

Love it!! The sound is amazing!! I'm so happy with this product! Thank you Sweetwater!
Music background: Musician for over 35 years

Like an invisible cable

Couldn't be any more pleased with the Boss wireless transmitters they work very well indeed. Once charged it's just plug and play no button or controls and the connection is instant and strong. Sweetwater sets a higher standard for product delivery and customer satisfaction, in my 40ish years I've not ever encountered a business that takes such care of the customers. Far from my last purchase from Sweetwater!
Music background: Near 4 months of daily guitar practice after a lifetime of just wishing I could play an electric guitar. Must mix ample practice with the wish to achieve the dream!

Great for Rehearsal

I've had these dongles for about two years now. I was unfortunately unfaithful to Sweetwater and had a GAS itch during a trip to Nashville and ordered the system from a competitor (that has customer service nowhere as great as Sweetwater's Customer Care). I'm sorry Sweetwater!

After I finally got this wireless system, charged it and plugged it in at home it was amazing. I was really blown away! I have a 'big' wireless system that I was using for gigs and I figured if I could downsize, why not, right? First gig was a resturaunt. Got there, set up - long story short, my signal got crappy about four bars into the first set. I re-mated the receiver and transmitter - same result. Fast forward a year, I talked to the Boss folks at NAMM about my issues with this system. They told me the unit was not really designed for gigging, it was more of an 'informal' wireless system. So... I use this for home practice and rehearsals and it's great for that. As far as gigs, I'll be using the Shure wireless system (which I DID purchase from Sweetwater ) which has been amazing on the road!

To be sure, this is a cool product, but if there is minimal interference from a router or anything else, it was my experience that the signal got really spotty really fast.

Don't trip on the wires

The wireless works great for me. I only play my bass at home and being relieved of leads that get tangled around chairs and wound round my feet is a true blessing. Rock on.
