Hi everyone!
I just found this on youtube, can anyone verify it?! Is it finally possible to go wireless?

Interesting but its a pity he's not transmitting S1/S2 and Volume knob setting. I would like the full set of GK signals + regular pickup. Also it would be interesting what frequencies he's using. Building six FM transmitters in a box is easy technically (3 stereo single chip transmitters) but I assume you got to be careful about regulations and interference from/to other equipment/musicians/airport landing systems etc.
I agree it would be nice to have S1/S2 and volume control, but to be honest at this stage just being wireless would be enough for me! I use the Ghost pickup system and don't have the extra controls on my guitar so it's not a dealbreaker for me.
Is it something you could do Codesmart? I've seen your projects and products in the forum, you definitely got the skills!
This has been a thing many V-guys wanted for a long time and I think most electronically interested guys at this forum has thought about it. However no one has done it...yet.
Very interesting I had not seen that. Wireless would be awesome if the latency is not to crazy
Analog radio is the only way to go for a latency free link,
which means public WiFi bands can't be used, and each country has different specs and licensing for other radio spectrum use.
For a project like this to available to everyone, it would have to be sold 'under the radar' or as a kitset.
8 channels would be required, 6 for the hex pickup, 1 for the normal P.U. and 1 for the control data of S1/S2/GK Vol.
The simplest devices/chips available are for stereo FM radio, although channel separation is not the best (70~80dB) on pairs of channels,
it would be workable. Using then just above or below the FM broadcast band. They would also require a common linked PLL oscillator for the transmitter and one for the receiver.
+ using FM transmission requires finding 6-8 free FM channels that are not already used in your gig location. Add batteries and poor dynamic range, I'd rather use a well maintained cable and concentrate on playing guitar , not battling finding 6 channel of open FM spectrum at every gig.

So, does it work?
Hmm... *think, think, think* ;D
