Wireless guitar system guide
Xvive P58
A tidy way to put 5.8 GHz wireless and a usable tuner in the first pedalboard position.
The P58 pairs Xvive's A58 transmitter with a true-diversity pedal receiver, channel scanner and chromatic tuner. It also provides wired input and selectable true or buffered bypass.
Best suited to
Players building a compact board who want wireless reception and tuning in one enclosure.
Look elsewhere if
Your power supply cannot provide the required voltage and current, or you need more than five transmitter hours.
Buying analysis
Where the P58 fits
The P58 earns its board space by replacing two boxes rather than adding another. The wired input is especially useful: a failed or flat transmitter does not force you to rearrange the signal chain before a set.
Check power before buying. The receiver is not a low-current nine-volt stompbox, so an isolated output with the correct capacity matters. Once powered correctly, its 5.8 GHz link is a sensible alternative in rooms saturated with 2.4 GHz traffic.
Strengths
- True-diversity pedal receiver
- Integrated chromatic tuner
- Active/passive transmitter modes
Limitations
- Specific pedalboard power requirement
- Transmitter runtime remains five hours
