Hello!! It's been a really long time that I'm trying to figure out a rackmount effect but I have no chance of identifying it. I was hoping that one of you guys might know the answer to what I'm looking for

This Is a screenshot of Warren Demartini from ratt and I'm looking for the 2 units circled in red. What are they?? For the past 10 years I can't figure out what they are. Thanks!!

Looking at the cables from the circled units, looks like they go out to the top of the rack, and into a board of "in front of amp" pedals; so likely wireless receivers IMO

You are absolutley right. I got a better quality pic of david gilmour's rig from the 90s. Under where output signal monitors is written it looks pretty similar to the unit Demartini was using. But instead is built in a multiple rack stack instead of half rack and is missing the jack inputs? Imbstarting to think these were custom built since there is not kuch info about them online.

Either old Nady or Samson maybe.Warren mustve had a love hate with wireless units as all the times I saw him on stage he was cable connected
 
First of all I made a mistake this is Robin Crosby's rig not Warren's.
Second of all I found this interview of Warren where he analyzes his rig and from what he says the rack unit I'm looking for is an A/B/Y box and he states he has 2 of them. Here is a screenshot.
Now icwoukd really like if someone know exactly what it it's. It's been buggingg me for a while.

FWIW love seeing the SD-1 goosing a RAT. Thats what I always use through my Plexi. Classic recipe that sounds phenomenal.

Funny it’s Laney cabs with EV speakers not the Celestion 70s that came stock in those AOR cabs. Funny he uses a Deltalab delay too, and the unit that boosts his signal has got to be a Furman PQ3, the unit no one would name back in the day.
 
Do tou know maybe the brand? I have looked uo all of the 80s vintage wirless recivers but cant find nothing

He mentioned having a new Sony wireless in a 1987 rig rundown. The interview didn't mention the model though.
 
10 years spent trying to identify wireless receivers is... lol.

You can't imagine how many countless hours I have spent on the internet looking at pictures trying to find more info about it. He'll even Nady had no idea about it (I got into contact with them) thank you so much the information!!
