Samson Airline Wireless System for Guitar - straight plug for end-mount inputs 300 dollars
The cutting edge in wireless technology -- now you can go wireless without getting weighed down by those cumbersome body packs! Less than half the size of conventional body packs, Airline miniaturized transmitters run on a tiny triple-A battery with 14-hour battery life. They feature an array of on-board controls: A Power On/Off and Mute switch, red/green LED for Power On/Off, a Peak LED and an Input Level control for different pickups. And UHF (Ultra High Frequency) means clearer frequencies with less interference.
Designed for use with your compact effect pedals, the AP1 diversity receiver gives you reception you can always depend on. It features a 1/4" output jack, Power On/Off switch, Peak LED and a Volume control. You can use a 9 volt battery or an AC adapter to power the receiver. When you unplug your unit, the battery is disabled to conserve power.

This package features a transmitter with straight 1/4" input plug to fit traditional end-mount inputs such as Gibson-style guitars and most other electric guitars (except Stratocasters).

akg guitar bug microtool wireless system 279 dollars
This system features the AKG GB 40 Guitarbug transmitter and WMS40 receiver. The GB 40 features a FlexJack swivel jack plug that will mate with any type of output jack and is spring loaded to hold the GB 40 securely against the instrument. In addition, the GB 40 is so small it is almost invisible and won't be in your way while playing. Since the GB 40 sits right on top of the instrument's output jack, the noiseless on/mute/off switch and gain control are always within easy reach. Integrated charging contacts allow you to charge the battery quickly and easily on the optional CU 40 charging unit, without having to remove the battery

Honestly? None. The pratical use of a wireless system on any stage other than the Point Depot in this country is negligable. Plus it's another thing in your rig which can fail and ruin the show. Anyone seen Spinal Tap? They're less senstitive to interference these days but a I think they're a total and absolute luxury, especially if you don't motor around the (giant) stage like a ferret with a bee up it's arse. Maybe if you had nothing else to buy because you had the best gear in the world it might be worth doing but seriously? I mean, if you use floor effects you'll have to put the receiver on the front of the stage and run a cable back to the emp anyway, and you're not going to stray too far from your pedals in the first place, or else put it by the amp and run a long lead to the front of the stage to your pedals and then back to the amp... which is kind of pointless IMO. I wouldn't buy one in a fit TBH... just can't see the logic which justifies the impracticality.

I appreciate this probably wasn't the answer you were looking for...sorry man.

yah i agree, wireless is a complete luxury, but if I had money to burn I would go for the first at 300. But with all equipment you have to try before u buy.

i know they're a luxury but i like walking around the stage and i find the leads a pain in the arse. can you go into stores and try out these?
