0175westwood29 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 recently got my new line 6 wireless kit, and i have to say im impressed, very clear sound and no lag or interference, and even tho its the cheapest in the range it feels sturdy enough, yeh there is a difference to using a cable (bar the obvious) there are a bit more highs in sound but my worry was a loss of low end or the low end going a bit muddy, neither happened so all in all very happy! also the range they say is a very safe number also at my gig last night i ran around a bit! like you do when you first get wireless lol and i went behind walls etc so line of site isnt needed! and also at practice the other day i went probs about 60ft out of the practice room and it still worked. for 149 quid its a bargin in my eyes! andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 They are great, and if in a band playing on large stages, or in a band with clumsy band-members, they are such a help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kraken Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I've got the G50 and the amount of fun you can have running around venues with a wireless, you just have to be careful not to let the stage get too empty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0175westwood29 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 gave my singer a scare at the last gig as he just saw me in the crowd caught his eye and for a sec he was like wtf!!! then he rem i had got the wireless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazhowe Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 They are great. I've noticed that once the battery indicator drops to two green bars it seems to go to red very quickly so I put new batteries in for every gig so not to worry about keeping an eye on this. I've used mine regularly for 2-3 years and wouldn't have any hesitation in buying another if it packed in for any reason, especially at the price they are now.

hollywoodrox Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I read a lot about them recently and they seem to get awesome reviews, think there is a thread or two on here with hints and tips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allighatt0r Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Wahey! Welcome to the club. I love mine. So much nicer to not have to worry about a cable trailing behind me!!! Really helps when doing the soundcheck as well. The two guitarists in my band are also on wireless kits so buggering off into the crowd is fairly common. I use these batteries, a pair of these AAs usually lasts me about 3 and a half gigs. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Duracell-Procell-Battery-Alkaline-MN1500/dp/B0036HZ50E I use one of these to attach it to the strap, because the little metal clip broke off of mine. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00074B67A Also, the "Cable tone" function on the receiver is there to counter that extra high you're hearing, you could try playing with that and see if it makes a difference?

tauzero Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I have the G50 - I use Eneloop batteries with it (rechargables which will stay charged when not in use) which last two or three gigs, though I now tend to change them at each gig.

gazhowe Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Does anyone know what the minimum power requirement for the G30 is? Online resource states that the supplied adaptor provides 9v Dc at 500ma but not what the minimum requirement is. I'm thinking of buying a power brick to power this and my effects to avoid the need for multiple adaptors but i can't find a definitive answer. i've registered on the Line6 forum and asked the same question but would like to know what anyone else uses.

They are 120mA per output so I'm feeding the g30 with 240mA. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Line6 advised via their support forum that the G30 requires a minimum of 200mA although they also said that they would recommend providing double to cater for any drop in supply. I've gone for the Cioks Adam supply that has a regulated and isolated 9v 250mA output. Hopefully will run the G30 okay without any signal drop. I'll advise if it doesn't.

blue Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I use a Voodoo Lab power brick . Beehttp://www.zzounds.com/item--VDLPP2. I have been using my G30 since 2009. I could never go back to using a cord. Unless your in the back ground, playing by the drummer the G30 is a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harryboylad Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I have had the G90 rack mount for a couple of years now - got it as we were playing big stages at Butlins (LOL) and they are fantastic. I have tried several different makes but for Bass - nothing comes close. I also like the convenience of being able to switch guitars easily if you have two transmitters as you literally swap guitars and press one button on the rack mount and it switches over - and it's cool that each transmitter can have any name you want! They are a reasonable amount of money - if you want the top end rack mount G90 but definitely a worthwhile investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diablo Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 B'day coming up in a few weeks, I think I've decided what may be on the wish list! G30 or G50 is looking good as sometimes I don't like the mix we get. At least I can sound check ourselves then. Cheers, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kusee pee Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Had mine for a month. Feel totally liberated on stage and would never go back to wired. Great value kit too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0175westwood29 Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 I've headed back to wired! Even tho having the chord is a bit of a pain sometimes. I had a gig where I had no need for the wireless, could of been me but there was a. It more top end and low end using the cable, my effects sounded better so I've stuck with being on a cable since, have thought of trying again at some point tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
