Line 6 G30 Wireless

[mikeb57]

I have been using the the Line 6 G30 wireless for the last 2-3 months. I thought i would share my experience. I was sold by the claims that there is no degradation in tone and that the signal holds very well. Also by the small transmitter that sits on the pedal board like a pedal. and the receiver uses a standard 1/4 cable. All this proves true and good. I like really like being wireless especially on bigger stages.
There are a couple of down sides:

I played at church there were several wireless mics around me. The were quite a few dead spots, I assume related to the proximity of the mics and there transmitters and receivers. I have not had any issues on other stages where there was not other wireless rigs or even if maybe there was one other one across the stage. Only when there were lots of wireless mics around me. It cut out quite a bit.

It runs on AA batteries. It goes through them pretty quickly. When it goes out it happens without warning and it goes all the way out. This has happened to me in the middle of songs a couple of times. Ouch. To be sure I really need to change batteries every set. Thats a lot of batterires.

I doesn't have a clip-on to mount on the strap. I got a cheap clip flip phone holster works perfect. Maybe there is a battery warning light that I can't see because of this. I plan to keep it and will probably only use it on shows where I really want to be wireless, not on small stages etc.

Ive never had any drop outs. Buy some rechargeable batteries to save some money.

I've had three Line 6 wireless units and gave up on them because the dropouts were so bad.

The G50s I had would get 2 4 hour gigs on a set of batteries. I can't see how your batteries would go dead if you start each show with a fresh set.

You have the terms transmitter and receiver backwards in your post.
