Thanks for the video. I have the first joyo wireless. Wanted to get another one for backup so I chose this one and based on your review makes me feel more comfortable ordering it. Hope to have it in a few days to try out.
Thank you for the kind words! I'm super glad you find it helpful. I haven't put it down aside from charging it since I got it. Idk why I haven't gotten it earlier. I'm even recording with it lol (ofc for very casual and non-serious recording). I'm sure you will enJOYO/enjoy your (LOL) wireless system
Great overview video, not too long, yet covered all relevant points. I just bought 2 pair of these and was trying to figure out how to pair 2 transmitters to 1 receiver. Description made it seem possible, but haven't figured out how. Thanks again for the great video for this joyo wireless guitar system!
Thank you so much for the kind words! 🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿 Glad you found this video helpful! Did you by chance figure out how to pair multiple transmitters? Their product page and video did mention that capability so I was rather intrigued but didn't have 2 to test. Would love to know! :D
@@Shredberry Got a response from support saying it only pairs a single transmitter to multiple receivers - opposite of what I want. I have 2 guitars and 1 amp. Not convinced the response was credible.
@@stephenpierce2274 ohhhh so it’s only possible to have one guitar sent to multiple outputs but you need the opposite. I can see why u have doubt about their answer lmao
Oh-oh ... check this: I was excited to purchase and use the JOYO JW-03 for just over 10 days and recommended the product to a my trio-mate, another acoustic guitarist. Love the battery life. Now the rest of the story: At this week's practice, I had mine paired and plugged in; he had his paired. Then he plugged his set into his amp. What documentation there is touts that these units have an automatic 'channel hopping' feature which is supposed to alternate a paired set to another channel if interference is detected. Well all faith in that went out the window when his signal dropped out because my signal was over-riding his on his amp, while I was getting sputtering and drop-out on mine. We tried to power off, re-start and re-pair. No luck. The bottom line is that **multiple musician's playing on these in the same setting can't co-exist.** I'll keep mine for solo and studio, but I'm now forced to find an alternate system, perhaps in the 5.8 Ghz range.
Oh wow does that happen even y’all are on different channel?? Either way thank you for sharing that! I kinda expected that a budget wireless will have its limit. Especially when used in a live setting with either multiple of the same units or multiple other wireless systems. There are sooooo many other budget wireless on Amazon now many of them don’t run on the typical 2.4Ghz channel so that may have better luck!
@@Shredberry We are going to do some more testing the next time we're together. What I do know is that our attempts to change channels from the transmitter (the only way one can with these units) had no effect. The other learning point is that 2.4Ghz are very susceptible to interference from other 2.4s in the vicinity. For this reason, I bit the bullet for a set of 5.8Ghz Getaria GWS-26's. 5.8s are much less susceptible to interference, but require more line-of-sight between tx and rx. So now, we're on different frequencies that can't bump into each other. I still have my JW-03s for solo use.
Just bought a pair. They work well for the price. I do notice the sound is not as good as a cable, but I won’t be recording with them. They also create hiss noise when active without the guitar volume on. It doesn’t make the noise with cables. Tried on three different amps. Turned off all wifi in house and any electrical in area. Has no impact. They still hiss. Don’t know if I got a bum set or not. Oh well. It’s just for noodling around the house. Wouldn’t turn up volume with that hiss. It’s not terrible just annoying.
Really??! Personally when I had i it never had any hiss or noises. And it sounded just as good as playing through a cable. If your retailer takes return/exchange, I'd exchange for a new one. It def shouldn't make noises.
The jack not fitting all guitar designs is not a problem, we can always add a 5inch input to jack cable and put the transmitter in the guitar strap or something. What worries me is interferences in gear packed stages. Did someone experienced any?
Extension def works. Personally I'd prefer not needing ofc cuz that's more cable that'll dangle around unless you figure out where to secure it. That said, this design is very common amongst most Chinese made budget wireless and it fits most guitars. As far as interference in a packed stage, this wireless set does use a relatively common frequency (2.4GHz) so I've seen ppl here in the comment section mention it. I'd invest in a better wireless system, or at least fine one that's not 2.4GHz, if you plan on using it on a packed stage with loads of other wireless systems going.
Just saw your review and had to point out something. You said latency increased as you got further away... sound takes time to travel, that is what you were hearing. Sound travels around 1000 feet per second so each foot you move away from your sound source adds 1ms. If you're 100 feet away you have 100ms added latency on top of the units inherent latency. Wireless units don't have increasing latency as you move away as the RF signals always travel at the speed of light, it's simply the delay you are hearing due to distance, just simple physics.
Thank you for the kind words! Yes it does! I've recorded that way too and I didn't hear any difference (some ppl def will say they do tho lol). For serious recording tho I prolly wouldn't use this wireless to record lol
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🙏🏽🙏🏽 that masterpiece is from Animal Crossing: New Horizon, titled KK Disco. For some, it may just be a shirtless dog named K. K. mumbling, but underneath every KK song is a masterfully arranged musical score 😏🤓
I play on a street in front of a train station with many pedestrians walking by. This unit is good for maybe 15 feet before dropouts. I do not recommend
Hey thank you for sharing your experience! I never got to use it in a crowded place so I can’t really say much but that’s helpful insight! I’ve seen many that use it at small venue or church gig and they have good experience but the level of disturbance between a small venue and train station is night and day so I suppose it’s expected. For your purpose I’d def get a higher grade wireless lol cheers!
Dźwięk jest czysty, nie zniekształcony. Porównywałem Joyo JW-03 z innymi "Chińczykami" i ten wypadł najlepiej. Oczywiście w tej kategorii cenowej. Inne nie dawały tak wiernego odtwarzania dźwięku i sustainu. Niestety, trafiłem egzemplarz z wadliwym przełącznikiem receivera on-of i musiałem zamówić drugi komplet, gdyż termin na zwrot tego wadliwego minął. 😢 Dlatego zaraz po zakupie należy sprawdzić zestaw, aby nie przespać terminu zwrotu i nie zostać z uszkodzonym sprzętem.
O nie. Mam nadzieję, że udało Ci się go wymienić! Dziękuję za komentarz i przepraszam, że nie mówię po polsku. Mam nadzieję, że tłumaczenie Google może wyjaśnić sprawę.
I love that thing, but I don't feel confident moving to the other side of the stage because it will occasionally try to search for other signals and cut out a bit. My band has 2 guitars and a bassist and unfortunately only one person can use it at a time since we keep having problems with the receivers trying to search. Since the receiver doesn't have an option to switch channels
Oh yeah if you're using it in a venue with lots of other wireless gear and/or large stage, I would def invest in a more professional grade wireless lol I would only use these budget wireless for small, more casual occasions
Hi Leo! Thanks for review! Very cool! I already got this system from Joyo!) Please, can you tell me what is the brand name and model of the guitar that you use on 3:18?! Thanks again!
I actually have considered that one too! Since I don't have much other wireless stuff at home it wasn't too much of a concern to me. Great call out :D and thank you for the comment!
so in theory you can have a pair going from the guitar to the pedalboard. then another pair from the pedalboard to the amplifier then for no cables at all other than whats on the pedalboard, right?
In theory, yes. Of course the two wireless sets need to be in different channels. I don't see why this won't work at home but in live setting you're exposed to twice the risk of signal issues lol but it's def worth trying tho cuz imagine the freedom you get XD
@@Shredberry It might be fun to experiment with down the road. When i perform on stage I am pretty much like the late great Roy Orbison lol. I would most likely plug it into my pedal board and amp and just have a short lead attacked to the guitar or guitar to pedal board with a ling lead to the amp.
Hey there! Unfortunately I don't own the older models like JW-01 or 02 so I can't say from experience. What I can say with JW-03 is that I really don't hear any audio quality difference between using my Mogami cable and this wireless system (Ofc I'm not a sound engineer with trained ears in audio quality but I listen and play enough daily to have a pretty decent judgement xD) Theoretically speaking 24bit should sound better but there's only so much our ears can detect. When looking at other features and designs I personally would pick JW-03 without a doubt.
I’m guessing the buzz doesn’t happen with ur electric? If not does the acoustic buzz when it’s on cable signal? If also not then it is rather strange lol I’d try reaching out to JOYO support in that case.
Thank you so much for the kind words!! Unfortunately I haven't tried it myself so I cannot give you an assured answer. Though I've seen people using these on an electric drumset so my guess is that it theoretically should work so long your key has an 1/4" output jack. If you do find out please let me know :D
The power switch on this Rattles like hell! When you play the E string on your guitar or play this with your bass guitar. You will hear the power switch vibrating. I thought at first was something wrong with my speaker but it was the lose switch on this unit. You can literally shake the unit and here that power switch rattles! Bad joyo!
Just returned this after 2 weeks. The hiss is very annoying and I used to get a lot of dropouts, although I was so close to the receiver. Latency and battery life were acceptable. Would never gig with it.
Dang sorry you had that issues. Mine eventually broke but when it was working the signal quality was great and never had any hissing issue. At least you were able to return it!
Sorry took awhile to get back to you cuz I don’t have the unit with me lol I just tested out yesterday and confirmed that it works while it’s being charged!
I personally have not used it for live setting but plenty of people have and the reception seems to be positive. I have seen a few reviews mentioning signal jam because apparently JOYO uses a very common channel used by other wireless equipment. For small gig like church or bar etc I think it should suffice but I def wouldn’t trust this if I were at a large venue lol
So many cheaper wireless systems have issues when using active pickups. I’ve been doing so much research into this product and can’t find anything. Does the joyo jw3 work with active pick ups?
@@Shredberry I was just asking because I want to get one, I’ve been looking up which one to get and so far boss, line 6, xvive and affordable models all say they don’t work with emg actives. Thank you, I’m definitely gonna get myself a set of the joyo ones now 🤘
@@hybridsoldier10137 interesting 🤔 I never heard that wireless systems would have conflict with active pickup… I also have an old Audio Technica wireless system from 5+ years ago, always worked with my active EMG set. Ps. I just looked up the Boss WL50 it actually supports active pickup! They specifically mentioned that the WL50 has a two selectable tone simulation options. You bypass it for acoustic/electric guitar with preamp built in or active pickups. So it should work just fine 😁 if anything just return it (if ur in the US lol)
@@Shredberry thank you for your help. I have purchased the joyo model in this video for now and will see how it works for me when I get it. I’ll upgrade to the boss wl50 eventually since that’s the one I wanted in the first place.
Great vid! But I'm looking for a solution to a problem not covered. I bought a second set so I can use one set on bass guitar and the other on acoustic guitar. I did put them on separate channels but I still have problems with the bass cutting out when the acoustic joyo transmitter/receiver set is running. Any advice?
Hi, same problem here, I bought two sets and I'm getting problem with interference, did you found any solution? (Each transmitter is in different channel).
@@emiliomg8001 unfortunately I don't own two sets so I have no insight to offer. Have you reached out to Joyo directly? They're pretty active on their Facebook page. You can try reaching their support too but I've been told that the answers they give are hard to understand lol
Hello! Thanks for the reviews. I'm looking for a way to transmit my guitar's signal to my smartphone (ie. I don't want to have a separate receiver device but connect directly through Bluetooth). Is this possible with any of these?
Hi Joshua! Thank you for your comment! Unfortunately no this wireless system does not support any Bluetooth signal. I personally haven't seen a Bluetooth based wireless device for live instrument because Bluetooth has very noticeable delay. What I have tried was using this wireless system, connected it to an iRig to my phone then used BT to connect the phone output to a BT speaker but the delay was too much I couldn't even play. Hope that helps.
Hi! Amazing video! I want to order these to use it with my amp and with a soundcard too. I have set the soundcard to 24 bit for recording in Reaper, but I don't know if I'm supposed to take it down to 16bit. Should I? Or does it matter? I want to record short riffs and solos for instagram, but i don't know if it's gonna sound weird if the soundcard is set to 24 bits. Obviously if I'm recording longer songs, then I'm gonna use my cable, but for shorter riffs and for my amp, I really want to use the Joyo.
Hey! Thank you so much for your comment. Sorry I was looking up some info. I record with LPX which bit depth is defaulted to 24bit and the wireless unit works just fine. I don't expect 16bit would change much but who knows? The only thing I've noticed lately is that when the battery is getting lower it would start to clip intermittently but it can be resolved by giving it a full charge. So far the battery is still very reliable and can last several days of 2-3hours playing without a problem. Hope that helps :D
Does your Ibanez guitar have active pickups? Do you know if this transmiter have some noise with these kind of pickups? A friend of mine have a Nux with 2.4Ghz technology and it haves high-pitched noise with Seymour Duncan's and EMG's models.
Hey there, yes my Ibanez has active EMGs. In my personal experience I never experience any noises or difference between my active and non-active pickup guitars.
No where or says if this works with active pickup! Why not! Looks like a loop hole in advertising to get people to buy their stuff so i order 1 to find out for sure
I in fact never thought active and passive pickup would make a difference! Very glad that you brought it up! My ibanez has active EMG 81/85 set and doesn’t have any issue? Have you experienced issue using wireless on active pickup??
Ha that's the million dollar question as you can see in my video JW-03 does not completely fit my Ibanez SR Prestige. It reaches the input jack far enough to work but doesn't reach far enough to get fully inserted. So when you wiggle enough it the transmitter will fall out of the instrument. If your Ibanez bass has full exposed input jack I don't see why it won't work. Hope that helps! Cheers!
Please help. I just purchased these and for some reason - all the receiver seems to do is flash blue (not quick flicker, just flash blue) and never stays blue - what does this mean? They are not pairing but why?
I never tried the NUX B2 Plus so I can't provide a fair assessment but their specs seem to be comparable. NUX offers 32bit audio quality compare to JOYO's 16bit it's better but I question how much of that difference is audible to human ears unless you're recording (but no one records seriously with wireless anyway lol). If price is not a concern, NUX seems to be a better bet (better design and offers some more functional that JOYO doesn't have) but JOYO's price is really hard to beat for what it offers! Hope that helps :D
Hi Jorge thanks for your comment! I have not noticed any degradation in sound quality. In fact I even record some quick draft and what not on LPX and it sounds no difference than when I recorded when I used a Mogami cable. The only one time I notice quality issue was when the transmitter's battery was dying. Other than that there's no discernible quality difference from my experience.
Good question lol I always leave it plugged in and walk away so I don’t even have a good guess. I’ll charge it today and get back to you (cuz I forgot to turn off the power last night… 😅)
So I started charging around 10:30 and it wasn’t done when left home around noon. Came home around 2p and it’s done so my take is between 1:30 to 2:30hrs til the charger light goes off
The only thing I don't like is to have that ugly thing sticking out of my guitar input jack on stage. Has anyone tried to use a short 2' guitar cord (with one female end - one male end) and plugging in the JW-03 into the female end so the transmitter can be mounted to your guitar strap instead of having it sticking out of the front of the guitar? Will the JW-03 still work properly setting it up this way so that you have a simple regular (short) guitar cord going from your axe to the transmitter on your (back) guitar strap?
Haaaaaa I’ve thought the same for the longest time! These budget wireless have everything you need with the exception of appearance lol tho the JOYO one is a lot more tolerable but it’s still far from “looking good”. If you’re interested, watch my review on the BrianFay wireless BF-1. I talked about the design there but what you may find interesting is the extension cable you mentioned. I made a make shift one in that video for the wireless but BrianFay has one for sale! Cheers!
@@Shredberry Yes, I would think even using velcro would work since it's so light. I've done two gigs with the JOYO 3 so far. First gig the wireless system worked for about 30 minutes and it cut out and I switched back to a regular direct guitar cable. Second gig with it (yesterday) it worked but I noticed (as I did with my first trial gig with this system) a major decrease in volume of about 25% compared to using a high quality guitar cable and a more treble/dead battery sound with most of the low end dropping out. So again, I switched back to a cable after 15 minutes or so. Of course it was fully charged each time. In short, I won't be using this JOYO 3 system for any future live performances but I will play with it for band practices or just jamming with some friends to avoid tripping over cables. Too many highly overrated reviews of this unit. Cheers, Jerry
Hi, thanks for the video. Did you experience a low volume/output when using jw-03? I bought one jw-03 recently and I found the sound output is very low, compared to use a wire. I tried passive and active pickup basses but all got the same result. Is it normal?
Hey there! That's certainly odd. I personally did not experience volume/output change regardless of the instrument, passive or active. If you've tried changing the channel and made sure that both units are fully charged and there's still a large discrepancy I'd contact JOYO or if possible request a refund/exchange from wherever you bought it from. Hope that helps!
Damn sorry to hear that. May be a defective unit since mine has been working fine. Try contacting Joyo directly I know they are pretty responsive. Thanks for the feedback!
NOOOOOOO 😭😭🤣 Welp try it first, return if it doesn’t reach it lol Take a look of Brian Fay wireless, the pen shape fits Ibanez’ input jack very well (but it can be a disaster for other types of input jack cuz it sticks out, unless you buy the strap accessory). Cheers! 🤟🏾
If you lost your charging cable I think you should still be able to charge with a regular micro USB cable? The only thing is you can’t charge two at a time now.
Looool when they kick me out I guess? Lmao but on the serious note, depends on the song and the venue I do love walking into the audience when I play live. It’s a whole lotta fun 😁 ofc not 180ft away tho lmao

You can double tap the 'sync' button to swap channels according to the instructions. Did you try that?
If they add a display then it would cost more than the very reasonable price it now has....some of us are poor musicians....actually a lot of us.
That's actually a very fair point. I live that life too so I know it well haha thanks for the comment and cheers!
Joyo coming through clutch on some great gear at a great price.
They sure did! It's such an amazing product for such an affordable price.
Getting one of these for my Spark Mini amp for my practice area. Just want to keep a clean area with no wires or cables.
Thanks for the review! I will get me one of those!
Joyo should add an electonic tuner into the transmitter. that would be useful and save the need for a second device.
That would be AMAZING!
Thanks for the review.🙏🏻

Hmmm... it works on two of my basses, one with active pickup and one passive. Does it only happen with your bass or other instruments as well?
what about the 16bit? is the quality good? all the others systems and also JW-01 and JW-02 are 24bit

"protect your precious relic look on your Fender"
I just got one of these for Christmas
Woot woot woot!!! Merry Christmas and happy new year!
Mine sounds fantastic but there is a slight buzz when I use it with my acustic. Is this normal?
I’m guessing the buzz doesn’t happen with ur electric? If not does the acoustic buzz when it’s on cable signal? If also not then it is rather strange lol I’d try reaching out to JOYO support in that case.
Thank you for the video. Also thanks for the ideas as to where I can play. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
LOL as the great EVH said himself "You never know when inspiration may strike!" Glad you find the video helpful! Cheers :D
Great and awesome review 👏 do they make something like this for a Roland Keyboard? Or will this work for a keyboard to an amplifier?....thanks
Thank you so much for the kind words!! Unfortunately I haven't tried it myself so I cannot give you an assured answer. Though I've seen people using these on an electric drumset so my guess is that it theoretically should work so long your key has an 1/4" output jack. If you do find out please let me know :D
The power switch on this Rattles like hell! When you play the E string on your guitar or play this with your bass guitar. You will hear the power switch vibrating. I thought at first was something wrong with my speaker but it was the lose switch on this unit. You can literally shake the unit and here that power switch rattles! Bad joyo!
Wow really? The one I had didn’t have any loose part so you def got a bad unit! You should return it if you can!
Just returned this after 2 weeks. The hiss is very annoying and I used to get a lot of dropouts, although I was so close to the receiver. Latency and battery life were acceptable. Would never gig with it.
Dang sorry you had that issues. Mine eventually broke but when it was working the signal quality was great and never had any hissing issue. At least you were able to return it!
Does it have a lot of hum conected. ???
Nope :)
It's possible to charge receiver and play at the same time?
Sorry took awhile to get back to you cuz I don’t have the unit with me lol I just tested out yesterday and confirmed that it works while it’s being charged!
At first it was an amazing review then I came back for the field test riffs a little too many times
Haha KK’s got that magical touch in all of his arrangements 😆
Do you know if it works well for live shows?
I personally have not used it for live setting but plenty of people have and the reception seems to be positive. I have seen a few reviews mentioning signal jam because apparently JOYO uses a very common channel used by other wireless equipment. For small gig like church or bar etc I think it should suffice but I def wouldn’t trust this if I were at a large venue lol
So many cheaper wireless systems have issues when using active pickups. I’ve been doing so much research into this product and can’t find anything. Does the joyo jw3 work with active pick ups?
That’s odd! My ibanez has the EMG active 81/85 set and does not have problem. What me the issue you’re experiencing?
@@Shredberry I was just asking because I want to get one, I’ve been looking up which one to get and so far boss, line 6, xvive and affordable models all say they don’t work with emg actives. Thank you, I’m definitely gonna get myself a set of the joyo ones now 🤘
@@hybridsoldier10137 interesting 🤔 I never heard that wireless systems would have conflict with active pickup… I also have an old Audio Technica wireless system from 5+ years ago, always worked with my active EMG set.
Ps. I just looked up the Boss WL50 it actually supports active pickup! They specifically mentioned that the WL50 has a two selectable tone simulation options. You bypass it for acoustic/electric guitar with preamp built in or active pickups. So it should work just fine 😁 if anything just return it (if ur in the US lol)
@@Shredberry thank you for your help. I have purchased the joyo model in this video for now and will see how it works for me when I get it. I’ll upgrade to the boss wl50 eventually since that’s the one I wanted in the first place.
@@hybridsoldier10137 do they work with active ??
Great vid! But I'm looking for a solution to a problem not covered. I bought a second set so I can use one set on bass guitar and the other on acoustic guitar. I did put them on separate channels but I still have problems with the bass cutting out when the acoustic joyo transmitter/receiver set is running. Any advice?
Thanks mate! So you have two sets running on different channels but they still have interference?
Hi, same problem here, I bought two sets and I'm getting problem with interference, did you found any solution? (Each transmitter is in different channel).
@@emiliomg8001 unfortunately I don't own two sets so I have no insight to offer. Have you reached out to Joyo directly? They're pretty active on their Facebook page. You can try reaching their support too but I've been told that the answers they give are hard to understand lol
Hello! Thanks for the reviews. I'm looking for a way to transmit my guitar's signal to my smartphone (ie. I don't want to have a separate receiver device but connect directly through Bluetooth). Is this possible with any of these?
Hi Joshua! Thank you for your comment! Unfortunately no this wireless system does not support any Bluetooth signal. I personally haven't seen a Bluetooth based wireless device for live instrument because Bluetooth has very noticeable delay. What I have tried was using this wireless system, connected it to an iRig to my phone then used BT to connect the phone output to a BT speaker but the delay was too much I couldn't even play. Hope that helps.
@@Shredberry Thank you!
Hi! Amazing video! I want to order these to use it with my amp and with a soundcard too. I have set the soundcard to 24 bit for recording in Reaper, but I don't know if I'm supposed to take it down to 16bit. Should I? Or does it matter? I want to record short riffs and solos for instagram, but i don't know if it's gonna sound weird if the soundcard is set to 24 bits. Obviously if I'm recording longer songs, then I'm gonna use my cable, but for shorter riffs and for my amp, I really want to use the Joyo.
I'm recording at 24 bits, could it be a problem if I'm using these?
Hey! Thank you so much for your comment. Sorry I was looking up some info. I record with LPX which bit depth is defaulted to 24bit and the wireless unit works just fine. I don't expect 16bit would change much but who knows? The only thing I've noticed lately is that when the battery is getting lower it would start to clip intermittently but it can be resolved by giving it a full charge. So far the battery is still very reliable and can last several days of 2-3hours playing without a problem.
Hope that helps :D
@@Shredberry Thank you very much! 💯😀
I have just bought this wireless system. Thank you for your really detailed review, and for the quality content. I have subscribed 💯🔥
@@wscovers5018 Aw that is too kind of you! I hope you enjoy the device! It's been serving me well since I got it :D
Does your Ibanez guitar have active pickups? Do you know if this transmiter have some noise with these kind of pickups? A friend of mine have a Nux with 2.4Ghz technology and it haves high-pitched noise with Seymour Duncan's and EMG's models.
Hey there, yes my Ibanez has active EMGs. In my personal experience I never experience any noises or difference between my active and non-active pickup guitars.
No where or says if this works with active pickup! Why not! Looks like a loop hole in advertising to get people to buy their stuff so i order 1 to find out for sure
I in fact never thought active and passive pickup would make a difference! Very glad that you brought it up! My ibanez has active EMG 81/85 set and doesn’t have any issue? Have you experienced issue using wireless on active pickup??
@@Shredberry seems to work with active pickup
@@kkahuna4263 Nice! Good to know it works!
@@Shredberry I like it so far
@@kkahuna4263 oh dang you got it pretty fast lol but good to hear that you like it!
Is it good for the Ibanez bass ?
Ha that's the million dollar question as you can see in my video JW-03 does not completely fit my Ibanez SR Prestige. It reaches the input jack far enough to work but doesn't reach far enough to get fully inserted. So when you wiggle enough it the transmitter will fall out of the instrument. If your Ibanez bass has full exposed input jack I don't see why it won't work. Hope that helps! Cheers!
Please help. I just purchased these and for some reason - all the receiver seems to do is flash blue (not quick flicker, just flash blue) and never stays blue - what does this mean? They are not pairing but why?
which one is better, this one or the Nux B2 plus?
I never tried the NUX B2 Plus so I can't provide a fair assessment but their specs seem to be comparable. NUX offers 32bit audio quality compare to JOYO's 16bit it's better but I question how much of that difference is audible to human ears unless you're recording (but no one records seriously with wireless anyway lol). If price is not a concern, NUX seems to be a better bet (better design and offers some more functional that JOYO doesn't have) but JOYO's price is really hard to beat for what it offers! Hope that helps :D
@@Shredberry thanks!!
Switch channels until you receive sound.
You will not receive sound on all channels.
Yup, you must match the channels on both the receiver and the transmitter
How is the quality of sound?
Hi Jorge thanks for your comment! I have not noticed any degradation in sound quality. In fact I even record some quick draft and what not on LPX and it sounds no difference than when I recorded when I used a Mogami cable. The only one time I notice quality issue was when the transmitter's battery was dying. Other than that there's no discernible quality difference from my experience.
Nice Animal Crossing reference on the test. 😅
Yeeeeeessss! Finally someone recognized it!
@@Shredberry KK Disco ftw! Haha! But on a serious note, your review made me buy one. So, thank you!
@@presTeeJious What can we say? KK rulezzzzzzz! xD glad you find it helpful and hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
6:33 this is why I will probably get the Joyo JW-03😂
You won't believe how amazing it feels lol
how long does it take to charge ?
Good question lol I always leave it plugged in and walk away so I don’t even have a good guess. I’ll charge it today and get back to you (cuz I forgot to turn off the power last night… 😅)
So I started charging around 10:30 and it wasn’t done when left home around noon. Came home around 2p and it’s done so my take is between 1:30 to 2:30hrs til the charger light goes off
The only thing I don't like is to have that ugly thing sticking out of my guitar input jack on stage. Has anyone tried to use a short 2' guitar cord (with one female end - one male end) and plugging in the JW-03 into the female end so the transmitter can be mounted to your guitar strap instead of having it sticking out of the front of the guitar? Will the JW-03 still work properly setting it up this way so that you have a simple regular (short) guitar cord going from your axe to the transmitter on your (back) guitar strap?
Haaaaaa I’ve thought the same for the longest time! These budget wireless have everything you need with the exception of appearance lol tho the JOYO one is a lot more tolerable but it’s still far from “looking good”. If you’re interested, watch my review on the BrianFay wireless BF-1. I talked about the design there but what you may find interesting is the extension cable you mentioned. I made a make shift one in that video for the wireless but BrianFay has one for sale! Cheers!
@@Shredberry Yes, I would think even using velcro would work since it's so light. I've done two gigs with the JOYO 3 so far. First gig the wireless system worked for about 30 minutes and it cut out and I switched back to a regular direct guitar cable. Second gig with it (yesterday) it worked but I noticed (as I did with my first trial gig with this system) a major decrease in volume of about 25% compared to using a high quality guitar cable and a more treble/dead battery sound with most of the low end dropping out. So again, I switched back to a cable after 15 minutes or so. Of course it was fully charged each time. In short, I won't be using this JOYO 3 system for any future live performances but I will play with it for band practices or just jamming with some friends to avoid tripping over cables. Too many highly overrated reviews of this unit. Cheers, Jerry
Can I, use this in my acoustic guitar.?
If it’s an acoustic-electric ofc! :D
@@Shredberry thanks be to God, for your response.
How about the tone? Does the low end and mid cuts down?
Personally, I didn't hear any difference between using a cable vs the wireless :)
Hi, thanks for the video. Did you experience a low volume/output when using jw-03? I bought one jw-03 recently and I found the sound output is very low, compared to use a wire. I tried passive and active pickup basses but all got the same result. Is it normal?
Hey there! That's certainly odd. I personally did not experience volume/output change regardless of the instrument, passive or active. If you've tried changing the channel and made sure that both units are fully charged and there's still a large discrepancy I'd contact JOYO or if possible request a refund/exchange from wherever you bought it from. Hope that helps!
@@Shredberry thanks man, I’ll try again. 👍
Mine did it too im returning it
Hi, does this work with accoustic guitars?
Hey there! It certainly does! But obviously the acoustic guitar needs to have the electric component aka the pickup 😆
Had this system for a couple months, and suddenly it just stopped working.
No signal... no sound. Not reliable.
Damn sorry to hear that. May be a defective unit since mine has been working fine. Try contacting Joyo directly I know they are pretty responsive. Thanks for the feedback!
I just ordered mine, THEN. Decided to watch this review. I have a soundgear 1000 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ lol
NOOOOOOO 😭😭🤣 Welp try it first, return if it doesn’t reach it lol Take a look of Brian Fay wireless, the pen shape fits Ibanez’ input jack very well (but it can be a disaster for other types of input jack cuz it sticks out, unless you buy the strap accessory). Cheers! 🤟🏾
@@Shredberry it works and fits great in my soundgears 🤷♂️.
ty for the video ✌️
@@blake8580 Oh that's awesome! Glad to hear!
How can i charge it? I cant find a 3.7v charger :(
If you lost your charging cable I think you should still be able to charge with a regular micro USB cable? The only thing is you can’t charge two at a time now.
Naw. The matter here is that the jack on your bass is INSIDE A HOLE in the body, not that "it is marketed for guitar". Come on...
Are you going 180 feet away from your band? Hehee
Looool when they kick me out I guess? Lmao but on the serious note, depends on the song and the venue I do love walking into the audience when I play live. It’s a whole lotta fun 😁 ofc not 180ft away tho lmao
I came here to say… KK DISCO SUPREMACY
KK RULEZZZZZZZZZZ
