Relay G30

I play an 8 string bass (4 octave pairs) with active pickups, so the output is hot and bright. The G30 faithfully and flawlessly handles both the highs and lows at least as good as any cable - less potential for hum and noise pickup. The dynamic range is great, virtually noiseless, and never overloads, even with my hotter than usual output. I've never experienced drop outs when playing live, and have wandered around both the stage and the floor out front. Update 1/30/2014: I originally rated this as 4 star but have since re-rated as 5 star. Why? Firstly, I went through 2 units, and returned each to Guitar Center because the battery housing lid simply would not latch closed. Maybe all AA batteries aren't a standard length, but I tried several well known makes, and no go. Suspecting a faulty batch at GC, I ordered a G30 set from Amazon (cheaper also!). Same problem. Impossible to close the lid. Being an engineer I finally gave in, and with a small file, filed a small amount off of the latch. That worked, and now the lid closes, and the latch is secure (no batteries falling out as others have reported). But the next potential concern is that this thing gobbles normal Alkaline batteries. I can't make it through two ~2.5 hour practice sessions without having to change the pair. OK, AA are not expensive, but man, having to change out a pair every 4 hours or so just is so wasteful. Update: 1/30/2014: I originally stated in this review that I didn't think rechargables would work. Well, in desperation, I bought a set of 4 1400mAHr capacity Energizer NiMH rechargables, and I was pleasantly surprised that they work fine, and hold up just about as long as the Alkaline batteries were holding up. I keep one pair charged as a spare, and use the other pair, alternating between charges. I've been doing this for four or five months now, and had no problems. I played a four hour gig the other night, and one set lasted all night. Finally, the belt clip is a bit weak. It was ok at first but has now become very loose to the point that it won't stay clipped on. Still the unit is small enough that it could fit in my pocket, though you do have to watch for the channel select switch getting knocked (which will instantly cut you off - trust me, I know). Despite the minor faults listed above, I would recommend this unit to anyone based on its ultralight and compact shape, and its terrific performance. Having found rechargables work, I lifted the rating to 5 stars.

I have been using this line 6 wireless guitar system for a while now. I can walk about any floor or even outside into my yard with no signal loss this system works great. I also can't hear any different in tone from using this or a 20-ft cable. This is much better than the wireless systems of the same price range I used 15 plus years ago.

Had mine for a couple years now and in theory it should be awesome byt mine has been very undependable. It was dropping signal when I was 5 ft from the receiver, transmitter had fresh batteries, tried different channels and nothing helped. Got worse as the night went on. It was dropping signal about every 2 minutes. For the cost, I would like to think it could at least keep a signal that close. Occasionally I could go off the stage but then it would drop signal out there as well. Update: after some internet searching I found that the battery compartment is a weak spot on the transmitter. Put a hair tie around the battery compartment and had zero issues with it.

Sound quality is excellent. Battery life is great. But mechanical quality is a bit flimsy. The Line 6 Relay G30 preserves all the dynamic content, adds no additional noise, and acts as an excellent buffer. It has absolutely excellent sound quality. Put it in front of your favorite touch sensitive tube amp and it will feel and sound just like using a cable. That's a lot coming from an analog, tube-amp, anti-digital-modeling, snob. The only problem with this product is it's poor mechanical construction. If you're gentle with your gear, or are good at modifying things, I highly recommend it. If you throw your stuff around, or gig heavily, it may not be as reliable as you need it to be, but the sound quality may outweigh the extra hassle. At first glance, the beltpack feels heavy and sturdy. The hinged battery door feels like a tough, well engineered design and the belt clip feels very strong. Unfortunately, the battery door is pretty flimsy. It holds a metal plate that closes the battery circuit, but this metal plate is mounted by some small melted plastic pins. Those pins are also the only mechanical piece holding the door latch against the spring pressure of the battery contacts. This problem leads to the G30 losing power intermittently as you move around. The other guitarist in my band also has a G30 and has experienced the same issue. I dropped my G30, and the plate fell out completely along with the plastic-spring door latch. Also, the beltpack clip mount is pretty flimsy. The clip itself is made of a thick and strong spring metal. It slides onto a couple of different buttons on the back of the beltpack. Line 6 designed this so that you could change the orientation of the beltpack by sliding off the clip and putting it on a different set of buttons. The spring pressure is too strong for the plastic buttons, and one of them broke on the first try. And, because the weakest button is also the button in common with both orientations, I could no longer mount the clip. I never contacted Line 6 because I needed the G30 immediately for a gig, so I just fixed it myself instead. Hopefully their customer support is handling these problems appropriately. The price and sound quality outweigh the poor mechanical construction, so I am nonetheless very happy with this unit.

20年前のアナログ製品しか知らない私にとって、期待以上の性能ですね。まだライブで使ってはいませんが、音は何の問題もありませんね。音質の劣化など全く感じられませんし、多少の変化はアンプで修正すれば良い話ですね。そもそもそんな大きなホールは使いませんし、シールドの絡まりから解放されて大満足です。趣味で使うには十分すぎる製品です。

If youre a worship leader for a small to medium sized church stage, THIS IS AWESOME. I have a wireless IEM and this Line6 G30. The mobility on stage is something you never thought you'd really need. But once you experience the ability to move around you will never go back. It's not that I move a whole lot but i often get tangled in cables, muck around with getting the cable in or out going on/off stage in between sunday service order.......... this thing is works FLAWLESSLY for me. Tone wise, honestly for live stage setting at church, i cant tell a difference AT ALL. (i use this on my gibson full maple hummingbird with Anthem pickup). not once have i had any hiccup using this. The only thing one must ensure is to make sure you check your batteries EVERY set.

Una forma económica para empezar a usar sistemas inalámbricos. Muy fácil de utilizar, no he tenido problemas para conectarme, lo cual el sistema lo hace muy rápido, un par de segundos y ya estas conectado. El transmisor parece un poco frágil pero por lo que cuesta y teniendo cuidado no tiene problemas. Tanto transmisor como receptor son de plástico por lo que si tienes que tener cuidado en no golpearlos o dejarlos caer. El alcance es lo suficiente para la mayoría de escenarios pequeños, no he tenido problemas en escenarios de más de 10 metros de frente corriendo por todos lados. La duración de la batería parece buena, aunque en realidad no me he arriesgado a consumirla completamente, para sets de hasta dos horas no he tenido problemas. Uso baterías recargables (AA) y después de cada uso las recargo, así que no sé la duración de un juego de baterías hasta acabarlas.

Works perfect with my Line 6 Spider. The range is amazing. Tested playing upstairs in my bedroom and the amp in the basement and it still works. My band maids are all impressed. It can transmits through a few walls with no lost in sound quality.

以前から凄く欲しくてずっとチェックしており値段が結構してたので購入を見送っていました。が今回Amazonで見つけて即購入しました。初めは並行輸入品とあったので不安でしたがなんの不安もなく使えております最高です！！
