Auto-scan 14 channels for quick and easy setup. The receiver is equipped with a large LCD that displays the signal strength of each channel and the remaining battery power. The receiver is the same size as a BOSS compact pedal, making it ideal for pedalboard integration. The transmitter is a bodypack type that allows connection to any instrument. Offering great tone, ultra-low latency, and effortless set up, BOSS’s revolutionary WL series has made it easier than ever for musicians to go wireless. The WL-60 system is a great fit for serious stage performers, bridging plug-and-play simplicity with fast user-guided control. The compact receiver is tailor-made for pedalboards, and features a large visual display and direct-access buttons to quickly scan and select the best wireless channel. Automatic 14-channel scanning makes set up quick and uncomplicated. Bodypack transmitter works with nearly any instrument and runs for up to 25 hours on two AA alkaline batteries. Transmission range: 20 meters/65 feet line of sight (may vary due to local conditions). Short high-quality cable included for connecting the transmitter to a guitar or bass. Receiver powered by AC adaptor or two AA alkaline batteries. Convenient DC output on receiver for powering other pedals (when using AC adaptor). Instrument input for using a standard cable without removing the receiver from a pedalboard.
The BOSS WL-60 is a digital guitar wireless system designed for serious stage performers seeking plug-and-play simplicity with advanced user control. Its key benefit is offering a stable, high-quality wireless connection with ultra-low latency, enabling freedom of movement without compromising tone. A potential caveat is the transmission range, which is limited to 20 meters/65 feet line of sight and can be affected by local conditions. The system features a compact, pedalboard-ready receiver with a large LCD for clear visual feedback on channels and battery life, and a versatile bodypack transmitter that works with most instruments and boasts a long battery life.

FAQs
What is the transmission range of the BOSS WL-60?
The BOSS WL-60 has a transmission range of up to 20 meters (65 feet) in line of sight. This range may vary depending on local environmental conditions and obstructions.
How long do the batteries last?
The WL-60T bodypack transmitter can run for up to 25 hours on two AA alkaline batteries. The receiver can also be powered by two AA alkaline batteries, providing up to 7 hours of operation.
Can I use multiple WL-60 systems at the same time?
Yes, up to 14 BOSS WL series systems can be used simultaneously. The automatic channel scanning helps find clear channels to minimize interference between systems.
What is Cable Tone Simulation?
Cable Tone Simulation is a feature that replicates the natural capacitive effect of a standard guitar cable. The WL-60 offers two selectable simulation modes, or you can bypass the effect entirely.
Can the receiver power other pedals?
Yes, when the WL-60 receiver is powered by an AC adapter, its DC output jack can provide power to other BOSS compact pedals using an optional daisy-chain cable (like the BOSS PCS-20A).
Does the transmitter work with any instrument?
The WL-60T bodypack transmitter is designed to work with nearly any instrument that has a standard 1/4-inch instrument output, including guitars and basses, using the included short cable.
What is the latency of the WL-60 system?
The WL-60 system features class-leading low latency of just 2.3 ms, providing a responsive and lag-free playing experience.
Troubleshooting
No sound or intermittent signal
Ensure both receiver and transmitter are powered on and have sufficient battery life. Verify they are on the same channel. Check all cable connections. Try rescanning for the clearest channel. Ensure you are within the 20-meter transmission range.
Humming or buzzing noise
Check for interference from other wireless devices or strong electrical sources. Ensure all cables are properly shielded and connected. Try a different power outlet for the receiver's AC adapter. Experiment with the Cable Tone Simulation settings or bypass it if using active pickups.
Transmitter not powering on
Replace the two AA alkaline batteries in the transmitter. Ensure batteries are inserted correctly according to polarity.
Receiver not powering on
Ensure the AC adapter is securely connected to both the receiver and a working power outlet. If using batteries, ensure they are fresh and inserted correctly. If using batteries and the DC out feature, ensure sufficient battery capacity.
Poor performance when multiple systems are used
Manually scan for channels and select less crowded ones. If possible, coordinate channel selection with other musicians using similar wireless systems.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Exceptional audio quality with very low latency.
Effortless setup through automatic channel scanning.
Clear visual display on the receiver for real-time status.
Compact receiver fits perfectly on pedalboards.
Long battery life for the bodypack transmitter.
Optional cable tone simulation adds tonal flexibility.
Cons
Limited transmission range of 20 meters/65 feet line of sight.
Transmission range can be affected by environmental conditions.
Requires AA batteries for both receiver (optional) and transmitter.
Bodypack transmitter might be less convenient for some stage setups compared to a plug-in transmitter.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Connect the included short instrument cable from your guitar or bass to the WL-60T Transmitter.
Power on the WL-60 receiver using the included AC adapter or two AA alkaline batteries.
Press the 'SCAN' button on the receiver. The LCD will display all 14 channels and indicate the clearest ones.
Select a clear channel on the receiver by pressing the 'CHANNEL' button.
Power on the WL-60T Transmitter (it usually powers on automatically when connected to an instrument or a button is pressed, confirm with manual).
The transmitter will automatically sync to the selected channel.
Connect the receiver's output to your amplifier or effects chain.
Compatibility:
Instruments: Compatible with most electric guitars, bass guitars, and acoustic-electric guitars via the standard 1/4-inch TS connector on the transmitter.
Pedalboards: The receiver is designed to fit standard pedalboard layouts. It can be powered by AC adapter or batteries.
Power: Receiver can be powered by an AC adapter (BOSS PSA-S recommended) or 2x AA alkaline batteries. Transmitter requires 2x AA alkaline batteries.
Additional Transmitters: Additional WL-60T transmitters can be purchased for multi-instrument use.
Care:
Keep the system clean by wiping with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
Periodically check battery levels on both the transmitter and receiver (if battery-powered).
Ensure cables are not sharply bent or stressed.
When using the DC output feature, ensure your other pedals' power requirements are met by the combined output capacity. Consult the BOSS PSA-S adapter specifications.
