    There's a new one that just came out and it's supposed to be awesome. It's called Stageclix. Here's the site http://stageclix.com/Home

    I'd love one of these, i tend to go mental on stage.

    Tripped up on my lead once. :o It didn't pull it out though so i just kept going! haha

    Thats why you should loop it around your strap. It keeps it away from your feet and also if you do manage to trip or pull on it then it won't come out of the guitar. ;)

    Yup IMO, always have it looped. It will only come back to haunt you if ya don't.

    I'm waiting until line 6 bring out theirs with european frequencies.

    They bought it up from the original company and there have been great reviews of it

    Haha, it was looped.

    I reckon after my cab i'll sort out getting one of these.

    Did you go for it in the end? Was thinking of getting my boyfriend one of these for his birthday but don't know much about guitars so I need help!
    I went onto xmusic but can't see the thing you're talking about for 140...

    sorry they were 165 in the end! yeh they are pretty decent...they use alotta juice though so i only use it for gigs its got a bit expensive usin it at rehearsals all the time!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,325 ✭✭✭-=al=-


    id never feel fully comfortable with one of them, id like one though


    but i was always told not to bother with ones unless u spend some good $$$ on a decent system


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 414 ✭✭Duff_Man


    yeh thats what i thought aswell but iv gigged a load of times with it already and its never given me any bother!

    I've an AKG yoke I used to use, but you defo miss having your magic lead :o

    I think they can be a bit gimmicky unless you spend a lot of cash for a higher end unit, but at the end of the day it won't be any better sounding than a €20 cable. Hardly worth it tbh.

    So basically, it's too much hassle to get one and it'd have the same sound as using a lead, only benefit is being able to move around on stage?

    Oh now I don't know what to do! :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 414 ✭✭Duff_Man


    the only advantage is being able to move about freely....its more of a novelty thing really but i think there the business...better of just headin up and tryin em out for urself if your really thinking about getting one!
