Hey Bob, if you try out an X2 please post your observations. I’m in the boonies so I can’t easily check one out. (And if it don’t do the chime, it ain’t worth my time.)

Ian,
I would be more than happy to post the results. I read the HC reviews and as is usual each person swears by what they own. I'm not into that so the review will be unbiased and based on past experiences with other units.
I'm thinking this may be helpful for more than just we people that sit on both sides of the board. I'm not into providing wireless units to guitar players, but I get asked enough about my tone, and one question that I'm always asked is why I don't use a wireless rig. The answer is simple. Unless you've been willing to pay 3 grand for the system the tone will suck.
On the 19th my band puts on our annual christmas party. We rent a hall, invite the people, provide the food, and have a great time. This year we introduce our new vocalist and if I get hold of an X2 in time I'll use it then.
That will be the acid test simply because the room will be full of club owners, musicians, family and friends who will let me know if my tone has gone south. We'll see, but I am being led to believe the X2 can do what I want, and if it can it will be the only wireless unit I have ever tried that has been able to do the job without tone lost.
