Bass player here. I replaced my Sennheisser Freeport system (absolutely zero issues) with a Relay G10 mainly for the reasons that there was no longer a cable plugged into the guitar and the fact that the G10 transmitter had an internal battery whereas the Sennheiser required a 9v battery to power the transmitter pack. I loved my Sennheisser, but the simplicity of the G10 makes it my “go to” for my rig.
Great video. You might want to consider looking at the camera, not the monitor. It's like talking to someone who refuses to make eye contact. Just a thought. Again. Great video
Thanks for that reminder, Mark. Ironically, I’m a video director and am always coaching folks to look straight into the lens. I guess it’s a case of “do as I say, not as I do”!!
From what I understand, you just need to be careful about reverse polarity with active pickups. Line 6 has some recommendations here: line6.com/support/topic/20888-attention-g10-owners/
There is an adapter that comes with the unit. It is a L shape that reverses the polarity. search Amazon for Hosa GPP-151 1/4" TS to 1/4" TS Right Angle Adaptor
I tried to use the G10 with a Fishman pickup on an acoustic. Having the wireless transmitter plugged into a jack with active electronics did cause a buzz. I solved it by plugging a 12” extension cable into the jack, running it up the guitar strap, inserting the transmitter into the jack and securing it to the strap. A bit Beverly Hillbillies, but getting the transmitter away from the active jack killed most of the buzz. Not ideal, but functional.
Hi skipbass. I have an electric resonator that has a mini humbucker and an internal piezo. I leave both pickups active all the time and use the blend knob to decide how much of each I want to hear. I don't hear any whining sound when using the Line 6 wireless system with that guitar. If you're using it on an acoustic with an internal piezo, that may be a different story. I remember trying to using it on an acoustic with a Fishman pickup system and experiencing a serious whine. The Line 6 transmitter was too close to the pickup's electronics. I attached a short extension cable to the guitar's jack and positioned the transmitter about 12" or so up my guitar strap to eliminate the noise.
Hey Tony. I haven’t used the Sennheiser. But I love these Relay units...utterly foolproof and SILENT. I’ve literally never heard radio interference from either unit unless I get ridiculously far away from the base. They’re amazing.
@@RobertCassard Wow okay im sold and just bought one on ebay ! On Saturday I played in a church that had one that I plugged into my acoustic and I couldn't believe how much like a cord it sounded ! :-)
Hi Jakub - Thanks so much for watching my videos and I appreciate the request! I have a long list of Guitar Discoveries topics I'm trying to get to, and in general, unboxing videos haven't been my focus. That said, I just posted a video TODAY of me unboxing a pair of Status CB-1 headphones. Ironic! ;-)
Your results may vary...but I just tried it and both outputs worked simultaneously and sounded great... So you can send one output to an amp and use the other for DI.
