Boss WL-60 Wireless System

BOSS WL-60 Wireless System — Pro Tone With Zero Cable Hassle

The BOSS WL-60 Wireless System lets stage performers forget about the cable without losing tone. Dropping into the same footprint as a standard stomp, the receiver pairs with the WL-60T bodypack, which stays clipped to a strap. Set-up is a single button press, and the rig manages channel selection, signal integrity, and on-board power on its own. Movement up to roughly 20 m around the rig keeps wiring out of the equation from soundcheck onward.

What Sets the WL-60 Apart

Most wireless transmitters die after a single bar gig, but the WL-60T bodypack stretches two AA cells across roughly 25 hours of continuous use — hot-swappable mid-set. Two cable-tone simulations reproduce the high-frequency damping a real lead introduces to passive pickups, a refinement usually reserved for flagship rigs. A rear-panel DC output on the receiver (with the optional PSA-S adaptor) shares a supply with other BOSS compact pedals via a PCS-20A cord.

Key Wireless and Pedalboard Specs

The values below trace back to the wireless engine inside the receiver and the bodypack that ships in the box.

• Wireless Format: 2.4 GHz BOSS proprietary digital audio, license-free worldwide band.
• Latency: 2.3 ms with 110 dB or greater dynamic range and 20 Hz–20 kHz frequency response.
• Channels: 14 simultaneous, 20 m line-of-sight transmission range with automatic scanning.
• Receiver Power: PSA-S AC adaptor (sold separately) or 2× AA alkaline at ~7 h runtime; footprint 70 × 120 × 57 mm, 220 g incl. batteries.
• Transmitter Power: 2× AA alkaline at ~25 h continuous; footprint 68 × 88 × 30 mm, 120 g incl. batteries.
• Cable-Tone Simulation offers Short, Long, and Off modes — each reproducing the natural capacitive damping a real lead adds to a passive pickup.

Who the WL-60 Suits Best

The WL-60 is the right choice for working guitarists and bassists who need a stage-grade wireless link without losing the feel of a wired rig. Touring players, cover bands, and worship teams benefit from the 25-hour transmitter runtime and the option to add backup WL-60T bodypacks for swapped instruments. Pedalboard users gain power headroom via the receiver's DC output, while acoustic-electric players with preamps can disable cable-tone simulation entirely.

Where the WL-60 Fits in the BOSS Wireless Line

The WL-60 tops BOSS's recent WL wireless family, layering visual channel scanning and cable-tone control onto the proven simplicity of the WL-20 and WL-50 for serious stage performers.
