Line6 G30 - An all round excellent, inexpensive, reliable wireless system.
Phillybob 24.06.2020
The Line6 G30 Relay is an all round inexpensive guitar and bass wireless system that performs as good as any system the market has to offer. It delivers clarity of tone without delay and no audible loss of tonal quality at any venue anywhere.
I have used this system for my bass for many years now as have my fellow band members for their guitars with no issues to note.
Having recently purchased two more transmitters so each bass has one ready to go at the side of the stage when needed.
Flawless transition between guitar changes, simply turn off the one your using, change the guitar and switch on the new one - as simple as that.
Have thought of upgrading to a different system a few times but have no valid reason to do so as these perform so reliably in all conditions.
Weather on your amp or as I do, have it on my effects board so I can monitor signal strength it has never let me down be it small humid indoor stages or large cold and windy outdoor festival stages.
Neatly designed and simple to use it looks great on a pedal board. The only floor I have to point out is the transmitter clip. Needs to be removed if using a holder and isn't the greatest design if using the clip. They always break off. Even when removing the mounting following manufacturers instructions the clip holder breaks but this is just one tiny inconsequential flaw. They've all gone on mine.
I would recommend this system not only to anyone wanting to try a wireless system for the first time as it is inexpensive and delivers a professional sound well above what you would expect to pay for one, but for those wanting to upgrade this system packs a punch well above its weight.

Just like being connected by a cable!
Anonymous 20.03.2017
I use this on my yamaha electric bass. I tried fm- types but ended up sending them back because they seemed to have a slight hiss and I felt they changed my sound too much. This G30 seems not to effect my sound at all- at least that I have noticed so far and despite digital processing I can't detect any delay. There is a switch to imitate a length of cable but I don't use that. I have had no connection problems so far despite this thing sharing an already crowded wifi frequency band- although I don't ask audience members if their wifi connection is working ok- :-) It uses multiple frequencies to ensure a solid signal and can be set to mode 1 or 2. I have the base station mounted on my pedal board- with a double power lead from a multiple power supply It seems to work ok just with 125mA but I use the double cable giving the rated 200mA. The transmitter pack is hooked onto my guitar strap and held in place with crossed velcro straps. It's well attached and the door can't open with the velcro over it. It's easy to lift one of the velcro straps to change the batteries. One side of the transmitter is a huge rubber pad- giving a very solid feeling. The battery door on the other side does not seem very solid so I am always careful to pull the latch back when closing it. The jack socket seems good. I find the supplied cable a little stiff but it's a good length so I am still using it. So far no problems what-so-ever, just a reliable link to my pedal board. The base station has lights to show signal quality and battery strength. Definitely digital is the way to go- highly recommended!

Good balance between price and features

I don't care what anyone else says about digital radios not changing your guitar signal. The truth is ... THEY DO! They ALL do!

Not in any evil way, but they all do the same as a Boss stomp box FX pedal - they buffer the signal. This manifests as a brightening of the tone, adding a not always pleasing treble edge to the sound.

The purpose of 'buffering' is to replace high frequencies due to capacitance loss in long cables. As the whole point of a radio is to dispense with long cables, there would be no capacitance loss to eliminate. Presumably, buffering is an essential and unavoidable component of the circuit and therefore cannot be avoided.

Fortunately, Line6 have considered all this. They KNOW that guitar players do not like change and so they have very thoughtfully included a means to trash your pristine buffered radio signal in order to mimic your previous dirty cable tone. The G30 offers three cable lengths.

I have found that position #2 most closely mimics the previous 'guitar straight into the amp with a 2-3m cable' tone, removing most of the added (buffer) brightness. Position #3 actually darkens the tone slightly.

With the receiver being relatively small I have been able to mount it on the pedal board (in fact, it is mounted underneath to save space on top) which is more convenient than my rack radio for smaller venues.

Some people have reported issues with the battery door, complaining that it is too flimsy. Others complain about the transmitter belt/strap clip.

I do not foresee any problems. I ALWAYS use an additional elasticated band to hold the transmitter to the guitar strap. This prevents the clip coming unhooked and also protects the battery door. it is a simple solution.

All in all, this is a good little unit for small venues.

Works now for 3 years

I bought the Line6 Relay G30 in March ´11 and it still works as good as on the first day.
The Line6 uses the 2,4Ghz frequency to transmit the guitar signal to your amp.
Although the cases of the transmitter and receiver are made of plastic they don't make a bad impression. The power adapter is very good.
The G30 has 6 Channels to use, so if your bands member want to use it too, it wouldnt be a problem at all.
Some facts that I realized in this time:
I always could trust in the batterie status display. So if your batterie is going to stop working, it will show you .
The Cable tone simulator is not a must have. I don't use it all, works for me fine without the simulation.
I only use rechargeable cells, to save money und the environment. But the problem is with those cells, that they are obviously a little bit taller and thicker than normal batteries. So its pretty hard to close the batterie case because it is very small measured. However, it works , its only a little tricky.
If you want to use the G30 at home, make sure to choose the right channel. Some channels disturb the WLAN connection because it sends signals on 2,4GHz too. But I always found a channel, so WLAN and G30 work fine with each other.

The performance on the stage is good, never had range problems or any other problems at concerts.
I also couldn't hear a difference between cable or G30.
In future I will buy some transmitter, so I have the opportunity to use my 3 guitars with one system.
So if you need a stable and trustworthy system, go and buy it.
