Brace Audio DWG-1000 Takes A Tour Of The Neighborhood
The Brace Audio DWG-1000 has seen more of the Gearwire Studio and its environs than many another worthy piece of gear, and that is because its nature as a wireless unit invites us to take it a'wandering. We do just that in this lengthy look at the device. Too, we try to ascertain whether there is a discernible difference in tone between a cabled and a wirelessly-connected guitar.
NOTE: Starting a sentence with "too" is my best attempt at satisfying the requirements of "Talk Like Shakespeare Day." Verily, it wasn't my idea.
ADDITIONAL NOTE from the good folks at Brace Audio: "The statement the system has only 4 channels and you need to use the
paper clip hole to select is incorrect.
In practice, all you to do is just plug it in. There are actually 64
thousand channels so the chance of having a conflict requiring the
paper clip correction is next to never. It's there just in case, but
we've never had to reset a single unit in two years nor have heard of
anyone else needing to either."
Dhoh!
Lots of things that really matter aren't covered here.
When you finish a set, then unplug the transmitter 1/8" plug to save battery life, does it "thump" or is it silent so as to not blow up the PA?
Who brings paper clips to rock gigs?
Are the goofy non-standard guitar cables easily replaceable, i.e. mono 1/8 to mono 1/4 or weird proprietary stereo 1/8" things? Why not just a guitar cable (1/4" all around)?
Why do they ALWAYS hide the battery compartment underneath the pack so you have to remove it from your strap to change batteries?
Further, do you have to unplug it (i.e. power down) before yanking the batteries, or can you slap some new ones in during the second verse?
Are they sweat resistant? Dropable?
Nothing in rock and roll uses a 3v power supply. Are my Fuel Tanks obsolete for this receiver? Why do you HAVE to remove the batteries before hooking up a power supply? Will it blow up?
Thanks!
1/4" jack version...
When can we expect the 1/4" (jack socket) receiver version?
Dhoh Questions
I have one of these so I can answer a few of your queries.
Firstly it is a GREAT bit if gear
You CAN unplug it at the transmitter side and it does not go pop, it is quiet as a mouse
You can replace the batteries while it is switched on but it will probably go pop
Why no 1/4 connectors? They couldn't make it perfect could they. My suggestion if that they use 1/4 stereo connectors and use the spare ring as the switching circuit to ground. That way if you plug in a mono 1/4 plug it will switch it on and if you want you can put a stereo socket on the guitar ,use a stereo cable, and a mount little toggle switch on the guitar to switch it on and off. (I would even drill a hole in the strat for that).
Dropable? yea...probably
