I have not, though it looks interesting. But if you're looking for wireless, you might also consider the XVIVE U2, which is excellent. It is simpler and cheaper, and has performed flawlessly since I got it. You can read what I wrote about it here

XVIVE U2 - looks like a great product. 5 hours charge is long enough. I like that it swivels although some reviews busted on it for not staying in one place very well. That oughta be fixable though.

I've been using the Xvive U2 for a few months now. I really dig it. Had problems with rf interference once, didn't have time to try the other channels. My whole rig fits in a shirt pocket. For $150.you can't go wrong.

@littoral: The swivel thing might matter more to guitarists, if it gets in the way. Using it with my Bulletini it's convenient to arrange it how I see fit.
Another thing I forgot to mention is that it's bluetooth, which I like. My prior Samson rigs twice became illegal when the FCC auctioned off the frequencies they used for broadband. I went wired for a long while because I wasn't going to buy another analog wireless rig.

Reporting: I have the WL-20. It's the non-pedalboard version which is essentially two adapters with 1/4" plugs. They recharge together with a standard android style micro plug. They're both the size of a regular usb style wall plug (small). One goes into your source (amp, pedalboard, PA...) and the other goes into your mic. I have a JT with the switchcraft end so I use the small 1/4" screw-on adapter and the wireless unit plugs in there.
The important stuff: Zero tone loss, really small, no perceptible latency for about 25 feet. Beyond about 40 feet the latency started to act a bit like a really short delay so it was still easy to work with. Outside of 25 feet it becomes more of a novelty act anyway. Short of 25 feet you gotta have your suave' table side lounge act down. I'm working on it. Making a personal connection with people is a REALLY big deal with gigging so being wireless is a great tool. People want to know you know they are there and it matters to you. :)

5 gigs in and it's seamless. The opportunity to hear the mix from places I've never heard it before allows me to fine tune some things I'd never been able to do before. I've been at this a long time so there aren't a lot of sonic surprises but the perspective is a lot like watching a video from a performance and being able to tinker in real time. The audience connection is a lot of fun. I've found that they dig the playing and I don't have to conjure up much more. Just play.

This seems really really intriguing! 50ft lets you run around on stage. Would prefer 100 or so, but The ease of use is amazing!

Gigged again last night. 50 feet easy. I'm finding that I'm learning a whole lot about sound with being able to go anywhere I want to on stage and across the room. Mostly I'm just happy to confirm much of what I used to hear in a confined space but being able to hear what everyone else is hearing is a big deal to allow for polishing technique and sound.
My band has a habit of telling me to turn up and I generally ignore it (I know dynamics and what they're really saying is I'm holding back -and I do, till it's time...). Now I go anywhere and don't have to wonder. It's a big deal. Playing for people is also a really nice tool to add to the show. I'm surprised at how much they enjoy it. They seem to really get the music better.
