What is it?
With its reasonably priced yet rugged guitar cables dominating stages worldwide, and a wealth of electronic knowledge courtesy of its pedal and amp division, Fender’s foray into guitar wireless systems with the Telepath is a logical next step for the guitar giant.
The firm has done its research, too, as this is about as streamlined as compact wireless systems get while still retaining the core functionality to cater to a wide variety of rigs.
Housed in an enclosure not dissimilar to the firm’s best-selling Mustang Micro Plus, the Telepath features a black transmitter and blue receiver. The black finish and thinline rectangular shape mean the transmitter blends into most electric guitar designs – and naturally, it works with all Fender output jacks courtesy of a jack plug that pivots 270 degrees. No Strat problems here.
Rather than start its wireless quest with the customary 2.4GHz bandwidth used by most wireless devices, Fender has gone straight in with the 5.8GHz frequency band, which aims to avoid interference from Wi-Fi signals and wireless microphones, thereby minimizing dropouts.
