I gotta say I don't think it sounds good for a ballsy guitar tone.
Why? Because the 'transient attack' of each note picked has a harsh/glassy upper mid. It's almost like an Aural Exciter is being used which on a single guitar is never a good thing. Yes, it makes it sound clear but at the same time it HiFi's the tone making it sound glassy.........to me.
These are my ears saying this & you may not agree but that's fine of course.
Of note, when you use a real Exchoplex pre amp that glassiness is the furtherest enhancement you would expect from it.
I've owned many high end wireless systems and I do know the Schaffer has a legendary enhancement but if it's this I'm not a fan.
Not trying to be a prick, I'm just being honest & if you dig it....................... cool in every way.
I'm pretty sure the SVDS was used in the early EVH signal chain, although not all agree on this.

GP: Do you use wireless transmitters?
EVH: Yeah, I always do because I bounce around a lot. My first one was a Schaffer-Vega. It took me a long time to get it working right with my system because at the time my amps were so powerful that the thing was overdriven and wouldn’t work. It was too much power. Then when I got weaker amps I could use it. If you use it with too high of an amp it will just freak out; you get the weirdest feedback noises you ever heard in your life. And then I got a Nasty Cordless. Now the Schaffer-Vega is tuned to a fixed frequency, and one of the advantages of the Nasty is that you can dial in the frequency, just like a radio. The Schaffer-Vega has a built-in compressor in the transmitter, which is kind of cool, depending on what amp you use it with. I think that the Nasty is weaker. Like with the Schaffer-Vega I’m always reaching at my knob, trying to get 11 out of it instead of 10. And with the Nasty, I’m reaching for 14, so I use an equalizer to boost it. But it is actually a cleaner sounding system. When we played the Budokan in Japan I couldn’t use either one because there were heavy radio signals everywhere."
