Samson AirLine Guitar AG1 (N2) + AP1 – UHF wireless system for guitar/bass with pedal-style receiver (Gibson type)

The Samson AirLine Guitar AG1 (N2) + AP1 is a UHF wireless system for guitar and bass that eliminates beltpacks and cables: the AG1 transmitter plugs directly into your instrument’s 1/4” (6.35mm) jack socket (angled for Gibson- style guitars and any instrument with a side-mounted jack), and the AP1 receiver is a pedal-like stompbox that integrates into your pedalboard. The N2 channel operates at 642.875 MHz with PLL frequency control, delivering stable, low-interference UHF transmission. The AG1 runs on a single AAA battery and provides up to 14 hours of battery life; the AP1 can be powered by either a 9V battery or a 12V DC adapter, so it fits seamlessly into modern pedalboard setups. A –15 dB pad on the transmitter, squelch control on the receiver, and a high-impedance 1/4” output facilitate clean integration with amps or effects chains.

Main features

• Gibson-style transmitter (AG1): Angled 6.35mm connector for edge-mounted jacks (Les Paul, SG, and similar); built-in flexible antenna.
• Pedal-based receiver (AP1): “stompbox” design for pedalboards with level potentiometer, adjustable antennas and status LEDs.
• Channel N2 – 642.875 MHz (UHF): PLL synthesized frequency for stability and clarity.
• Transmitter battery life: up to 14 hours with one AAA battery.
• Receiver power supply: 9V battery or DC 12V adapter (input 12V DC, 200mA).
• Controls and indicators: –15 dB pad on the transmitter; Power/Batt Low and TX/Peak LEDs on the receiver, level control, and adjustable squelch .
• Receiver Connectivity: 1/4" unbalanced output (5–10 kΩ high impedance) for amplifier or mixer.
• Beltless: Direct plug-in design; no bodypack or cables between transmitter and instrument.

User benefits

• Complete mobility on stage by eliminating the cable between the instrument and the pedalboard/amplifier.
• Clean setup by integrating the AP1 receiver into the pedalboard and powering it via DC.
• Direct compatibility with Gibson style guitars and any instrument with an end jack.
• Optimized gain thanks to the –15 dB pad and receiver level control, reducing peaks and distortion.
• Extended operation with standard batteries (AAA in the transmitter; 9 V in the receiver), ideal for rehearsals and long gigs.

Use cases

• Solid or semi-solid body guitars with a side-mounted jack (e.g., Les Paul/SG), and electric basses with the same type of connector.
• Pedalboard mounting with direct output to the amplifier or to an effects chain.
• Rehearsals, live performances, and sessions where freedom of movement and quick setup are required.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does it work for Strat-style guitars with a jack recessed into the pickguard? For that type of jack, Samson offers the AF1 transmitter (Fender-style version).
• Can I power the receiver from my pedalboard? Yes. The AP1 accepts a 9V battery or 12V DC power via an adapter, so it can be integrated into many pedalboards with a 12V output.
