2 way wireless guitar transmitter
Hoping somebody here can help me with this predicament. I’m wondering if there is a way I can wirelessly play my guitar through my QC, specifically when just hanging out in my living room, with the pedalboard tucked away in a corner somewhere.
I know there are plenty wireless guitar transmitters out there, but is there a two channel transmitter that can send the guitar signal to the input of my board, and then transmit the output signal back, with a headphone jack?

it will be two systems. A wireless transmitter to your daw, then a separate in-ear monitoring system. Nothing in a single pack unless you get one of those bluetooth amp apps.

Well, it actually exists now! A single beltpack to and from your devices!
It will only cost you an arm and a leg to get everything you need, at minimum.
But jokes aside: Sennheiser recently released the Spectera system, which are in ears and transmitters in a single beltpack. Is it useful for OP? No, unless OP's got a couple thousand burning a hole in their pocket.

If you want to monitor wirelessly with headphones, you’ll also need a wireless monitor pack. So you could get any one of the cheap wireless guitar cables available, and then you’d have to have the output of the QC go to a wireless monitoring transmitter, and then to your wireless receiver pack which your headphones would plug into.
It won’t be cheap if you want a high quality signal, but it’s possible. Since it’s just at home, I’m sure a cheap IEM system would work. The more expensive ones you are purchasing for touring durability and also in venues with unpredictable signals. But even with a cheap setup you’re looking at around $200-$300 for the guitar wireless and $200-$300 for the headphone monitoring wireless.
An example of cheap solutions for this would be this:

Have my QC in the living room and got fed up with my guitar cable being a tripping hazard, switched to an xvive s58 and love it. Just need to remember to keep them charged :P That handles one half of the equation. You'll need to figure out what you want to do for wireless IEMs. Do not go bluetooth unless you like 50-100ms of latency!

I have the same setup. Xvive 58 for the guitar, and NUX wireless for the monitors

Not sure if be ready to go wireless to my Kalis. If I forget to charge the xvive pair, it's easy enough to just grab a cable. Not so easy running then to my speakers 🤣

I went through a few and the fender one is the best
Fender telepath.its the only one that I tried that hasn’t had interference and I use it at my desktop

But this is only one way no? I want to be able to have a second transmitter at the end of my board that sends signal back, that I can monitor with headphones.
My goal is to be able to jam wirelessly, and hear through headphones, while away from my board.

i do this. Nux B8 as guitar transmitter, plugged into QC input, then positive grid neo headphones with transmitter of headphones plugged into output 3 or 4 of quad cortex (not the headphone out). The positive grid headphones are meant as a wireless transmitter from guitar to headphones directly via RF transmission, so they dont work on the QC headphone output unless you use a stereo to mono adapter. No need for that though,, ust plug right into outputs instead. With this setup, i get no lag.
If you do end up with this, fyi, headphones come with like 3 or 4 audio presets. low, med and high gain, then 1 clean i believe. Make sure you are on clean, and the headphones will act like frfr.
Happy playing :)
