The Line 6 Relay G10S Wireless System 

I bought a cheap set off Amazon around $35.00 and it works way better than I expected. Not perfect it can rotate and the plug can make a noise. But I don't make noise tripping over cables or pinching them under a chair.

Always respect Jonathan’s reviews

Thank you, excellent review and video, great playing and very informative, well done and done well.

i love your reviews . You are like the asian pete thorn

i have the original g10. works perfect. bought an extra battery to have on hand. ive found the battery charge will last about 3-4 hours, but its nice to have an extra. i use it to practice and to gig. no problems, no noticeable tone loss. and, i have been using the g10 for about 2 years . Great review Jonathan!

Super playing .. and love the review..

Hi Johnathan. Loved the playing as usual. I actually own the G10 Transmitter and a Line 6 60 watt amp with the built in receiver and charger. That sounds convenient but I have to tell you that I now wish I had bought the reciever too so I could use it with my pedals. I like the transmitter though and so far it's worked on all my guitars including the battery powered systems. Great video as always. God bless you my friend. You're an inspiration.

Jonathan: Pretty nice review, thanks. Couple things. Even though I am 99% a home player, I too have gone wireless [currently the v2.0 version of the Xvive System]. The freedom from cables is awesome indeed - I run the Xvive into my "pedalboard" which only consists of a Boss GT-1 and Boss RC-1, powered with an awesome rechargeable pedalboard power supply from Joyo. Other than the cable running to my amp[s], it's the most wireless setup I can imagine and is more than enough for my simple needs. But your point about the transmitter size and angle on S-type tremolo guitars is spot on. 2 of my main guitars are Ibanez S series models, which feature even more recessed jacks on the top of the guitar body than all standard Strat-style guitars. The Xvive transmitter just didn't want to plug in securely enough as the unit itself was too large and the male TRS connector too short - I ended up having a local cable sifu here in Hong Kong make me 2 pairs of custom length high quality OFC TRS mono cables [male and female end], each about 18" in length. So I basically end up having to make my own kind of old school wireless pack, attaching the transmitter to my strap. Annoying indeed in terms of usage. But I can't argue with the sonic quality and the overall freedom I have gained. The 2 custom cables cost me 20.00USD. Crazy cheap with good quality cable and gold plated plug ends. Without having to break the bank for my humble needs, I have looked extensively at most all of the sub 200USD wireless guitar products out there, finally choosing the Xvive, mostly because of price and limited availability of this stuff in HK and reasonably decent reviews. However, I have just ordered from Thomann the Harley Benton wireless system - it looks to be a rebranded version of another system but the transmitter looks far more low profile than either the Xvive or the Line 5 G10S you show here. I am hoping it sounds and works with competent basic functionality and that the transmitter is indeed low profile enough to fit the more recessed input of my S-series Ibanezes and also not interfere with my trem arm. We shall see. Maybe you can do a follow up video on this to do a deeper dive spotlight on what makes this unit different from most all others - the receiver unit is specifically designed to sit at the start of a pedalboard chain ON your pedalboard and looks to be able to be powered and rechargeable by standard 9V pedalboard power supplies. And also follow-up with how you are finding the GS10S while using it in your studio. Also, just a suggestion for your lazy subscribers - maybe give links and prices to where you get your gear from. :) cheers and thanks for the content!

Great review and playing. I tried two of these but they both cut out constantly. It may be the amount of WiFi traffic here in NYC but I got a cheaper Carvin system and it’s been flawless.

Hi Johnathan, great video as always! I wanted to pass along a potential solution to the unit in the way of the trem bar. I use a vox headphone amp for traveling/private practice. I had the same issue, as the unit stuck out. I rigged up a 10 cm long extension cable, male /female and then plugged in the unit. The extra length allowed me to Velcro the unit securely out of the way. Maybe this could work for this as well? Really enjoy and appreciate what you do!

Jonathan, Great Video my friend, thanks for your time. I've enjoyed several other videos you've done also. I have one question, when the Remote Unit (which plugs into the guitar) is finished charging, in the Base Unit, does it automatically turn off so you're (NOT) draining the Remote Charge because the small Button is still pressed in? I have a Yamaha THR 30II Wireless and that's the drawback with it, it continues draining after it's done unless you remove it from the THR Amp right away. Thanks

Ñisssssssssce 🎸

Hi Jonathan, I just subscribed recently and I am enjoying your channel. For the G10S, can you suggest how to include a volume pedal? I see the G10S works with regular powered pedals (e.g. reverb, delays, etc), but typically volume pedals go first after the guitar via cable (and they are passive). Should I try a particular type of volume pedal w/G10S? Thoughts? Thanks.

I know this video was done a few years ago but I bought a G10S about 3 years ago, but have an issue with the charging. I charge it fully before we start playing but by the end of the set (say 1 to 1.5 hours), the charge is down to one bar!! This forces me to charge in-between every set!! I've forgotten once to charge it during the break and the power was in the red by the end of the set. Have you experienced this problem Jonathan?

That intro song...

Is it the MkII version? I have seen a Mk ii version on Gear4Music but can't find any info on the differences between it and Mk i

Rechargeable battery? Hmm. Obviously more environmentally friendly than your regular Duracell but....if it conks out mid-gig, what then? And the batteries won't last forever - when it dies (and it will) can you buy a new transmitter cheaply? Not convinced yet. Great playing as ever Jonathan, thank you.

jon a silly question, please dont get mad! i remember that when you went to a gig you said that your line6 went out,!! would the hottone would had been a would alternative for you to replace temporarily line 6, while your unit was repair?

Hi, Last week i see a review from the Harley Benton Air transmitter system for 79€ is a good thing when you can play without cabel. LG Detlev

little tip get a short cable male/female so you can attache the wireless thingy to you strap ;) problem solved
