rct Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 What's everyone using these years? I don't want special batteries, just regular ones will do. I know they are much better than the last time I used one for any time, that was more than 15 years ago. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis G Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 If you're talking wireless guitar/amp systems, I've had a Line 6 G30 for a few years now. Works great for home use, uses AA batteris. Only problem is, batteries don't faaaaaaaadddde. they DIE. Ok if your home, on stage, not so much but a battery change should get you through a gig. Great freedom from the old cord, and unless you have a very discerning ear, no noticeable decrease in anything. I should note that I use an AC adapter for the base unit, and AA batteries for the remote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tman Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Shure GLX 16. I am playing a gig tomorrow night and it will be the first time I've used it. So far I love it. Rock solid. Fairly light weight. Battery lasts 16 hours and only takes about 15 minutes to fully charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbluesplayer Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I have a line 6 g30 and it's o.k. It's probably not the most sturdy thing going. The thing I don't like about the version I have is that you can reach for the thing to turn it on/off and if you touch the wrong button it ejects the batteries and then you're in trouble. Maybe newer versions are better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Like others on these boards, I have used the Line 6 G30 for the past year. I like it a lot. Great range, great sound clarity, and I can participate in the pre-gig sound check waaaaay out in front of the stage. No tripping over cables!!

Thunderchild Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I have 4 Carvin units that I use, indestructable. Transmiters use 2 AA bateries, last about 11-12 hours. Reciever has wall wart. Also built in channel selection. TC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Line 6 relay g30, it works good and about as sturdy a transmitter as I have had. I had the predecessor the X2, which line 6 bought out and made these relay products from and improved from that original design. its a good one for the money , Doest thin out your tone so your epic solos will still be epic..

It's on the list, but the other companies are making them out of metal, so Line 6 may slide off. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've played exactly one Carvin guitar since 1971. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pesh Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Line 6 is the one I'm looking at currently. Good looking unit and comes recommended, although comparatively more expensive that some. Wouldn't go Line 6 for an amp or guitar, but willing to brave something as simple as a wireless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For only a couple hundred more you can get one made out of three dollars worth of metal. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-RAM Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Nady Wireless One Don't know if they're hard to find (this one's from '88), but it's reliable; still works like day one. Good for up to 30 ft. line-of-sight. 9V/AC adapter. No sonic difference from a cable.

Dennis G Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 K, I checked that one out Seems biggest complaint is the plastic construction. In all honesty, I'll have to admit that I never thought of this when I bought it. Then, I left it plugged in to the Line 6 AC adapter like "forever". Then I noticed that the plastic on the base unit was, well, "sticky". I can only think that the heat buildup from the electrical connection over time is what caused it. That said, I bought it from Sweetwater over 4 years ago, so the 2 yr warranty was long gone. Emailed my rep. Long story short, SW handled the "repair" (not sure if they put a new skin on the old one or just sent me a new one, but I didn't get any of the "new" goodies if you will). Cost me only what Line 6 charged and SW handled everything, even though it was out of warranty. I've since taken to unplugging the base when not in use. Other than that issue, I have absolutely no complaints about the performance of the G30. And the price is fairly reasonable, given the alternatives IMHO. Then again, I'm a home use guy only...YMMV. Edit: Not endorsing either Line 6 or SW, just giving my experience(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
