Nux Capacitors
About This Equipment
I thought wireless would be just an esoteric luxury, but these are more than that. To me, they sound BETTER than a cable. They are super simple to use and easy to charge. I also like being unencumbered by the cable.
The only thing I've had trouble with is when I use it for my basses that have active pickups. I would get a high-pitched hum. The good news is that there is a simple solution. I just got a TS mono adapter and pluged the nux into the adapter then the adapter into the bass. Make sure you get a mono adapter and not stereo! I didn't pay close enough attention and bought the wrong thing the first time around.
