Wireless system with germanium pedals

jaywo79

Hi all, new here so apologies if this is in the wrong place.
i have an akai wireless system from my guitar to my pedal board. Then the first two pedals are a germanium fuzz face style (eqd dream crusher) and a germanium treble booster (65amps colour boost). It would appear that the wireless is buffered, as seems to be the general way with them, and germanium pedals don’t like buffers. It’s very noticeable with the TB that it’s not happy with this set up (variable volume and just not sounding great).
Does anyone know of a solution to this? Is there such a thing as a non-buffeted wireless system? I’d rather lose the wireless than the pedals. I mainly use it during soundcheck as we’re a covers band that do our own sound. 

Thanks for any help you can offer.

I think we had something similar very recently on here although I can't find the bloody Discussion.

The previous one was a Smooth Hound wireless which you can dial in cable tone ( sort of thing) and I think that fixed it. Does the Akai have a similar feature?

I’ll have a look but it’s a very basic system so I’m not confident it will. Cheers

Thanks. Mine is actually AKG not Akai. Confusing brands with other stuff I own. Just happens my bass player has a smooth hound system which I’m going to borrow and see if I can get it to work with that. Cheers

Cheers. Having re read that I'm not entirely sure I understand but borrowing the Smooth Hound and playing with the virtual cable length might fix it.

Some folk will use a looper to sound check from out front  if you have to lose the wireless ( and happen to have a looper or delay that loops on your pedalboard).
