Title: ZIIDOO 2.4GHZ Wireless Guitar System
Post by: redkurn on November 27, 2021, 07:07:55 AM
Already started modding these cheap guitar wireless transmitter and receiver.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08F7XB3QN

Tacked on an antenna extension and wow, no more dropping out.
Made it 1 1/2 inches long and didn't include the length I soldered after scraping the trace a little.

So what I am wondering is what should I look for to brighten it up a bit, it's very dark sounding and affects tone worse than a crybaby. XD

I'm thinking it's probably a capacitor.

Can you put a buffer in that thing?

It has some room, but I guess it would depend on what kind.

I imagine it's resistor and capacitor changing the tone and making it dark, was kind of hoping it would be an easy mod since it's SMD, but if a buffer can take some of the dark out of it I'm down to try it. XD

I've found that, with wireless systems, the signal can get compressed and dark. I tried a bunch of different wireless systems before I settled on one. It was before we had GC in my city. I had to drive to another city 100 miles away each time, but I was determined.

Nope, that's exactly what I was searching for when I kept returning them and getting new ones. I kept getting drops when I would walk around off the stage. This fixed it. It fit nicely in my pedal board.
