Since the transmitter is located on the guitar, the receiver should then be treated as though it were the guitar itself, so it should always be first in the chain.
It may in fact be impossible to locate it differently in the chain since I wouldn't expect a receiver to have an input to plug anything into, there again, I have never used a wireless system.

Charlie

Wireless systems seem to typically cost around £100 upwards, not counting special deals. I think only you can decide whether it would be worthwhile. Maybe you could try a Klotz cable? I have found that they seem to last fairly well, although my own guitar cable is one I made up myself, with a shorting jack at the guitar end so that I can change guitars without making noises during the changeover..

Charlie

I don't think it's worthwhile to get a wireless system simply from the point of view of saving money on guitar leads as it would take a long time to recver the cost of the wireless sytem.
The big advantage is, of course, the freedom of movement it gives you plus, in a restricted space such as a home studio. there is no lead to wrap itself around or get trapped in chair legs etc or to trip over with potential damaging consequences for you and your equipment. I speak from painful experience!

If you are a gigging guitarist, the radio system comes into it's own at the sound check where, unlike a keyboard player or a drummer, the guitar player is free to jump off the stage and hear what the band sounds like from the audiences' point of view.
The AKG system works well and the jack plug on the transmitter is spring loaded so that it lays flat when not in use but will fit snugly into all types of guitar jack socket - edge-body mounted, flat body mounted and Strat.

Hi Dionne,
I have been using a Samson Airline 77 radio system indoors and at gigs for about a year now because I got fed up with tripping over leads every time I moved. This one I believe is the same one that Hank and Bruce used on the 2004 final tour.
I got it off the well known auction site second hand for £125.00 I don't know what they cost now, probably a lot cheaper but I have never regretted
buying it for the freedom it gives you, even indoors.
If it conked out now I would go straight out and get another.
Baz.
