Love it. I'm in a wheelchair and running over cables is a huge problem even when practicing. Great stuff, this.
It's a problem solver!
JustinGuitar hotel California lesson please???
Yep, gotta make life easier... I've got no complaints on mine... Works great. Battery gives me a couple of days of practice. Because it turns off when not in use it lasts a long time.
my man , u are the best teacher i ever had. i just started watching your videos , never seen such a complete step by step video guide in my life.and all of them marked and in right order too . just wanted to thank u for making these videos and enabling ppl like me- who have no access to a good teacher- to learn and do what they love. cheers man.
Want one. Don't need one. Just want one.
I had that same feeling! ;)
Had the same feeling and bought one 6 Months ago and I'm pretty impressed. It really convenient and reliable.
Hi. do you have the dimensions of the base unit
This also works great for electric violin (and mandolin). I have a Yamaha YEV-104 and it works perfectly with it. I've done a video demonstrating this and have run three of these simultaneously with no problems. 6 months later still going strong. Love it!
Super helpful! Thanks so much!
Great vid mate! Definitely will check this out and probably buy one!
Thanks for the review Justin! I love your lessons, skills and enthusiasm and always trust you...I just looked at the G10 BEFORE seeing your review...they offered me discount; now Im gonna go buy it! Thanks mate!
You are a huge inspiration justin Thanks for sharin your knowledge with us :)
Hey Justin, just bought this one, thanks to your review! Love it! The quality is perfect and what I like even more, is the fact that it doesn't pop when you change guitars. Thank you for your excellent review and keep up the good work!
That's awesome Justin. You inspired me to do a channel thanks for the motivation !
Have one - love it. A great feature is being able to use both outputs simultaneously.
Love this! I'm always tripping over cables. lol
Hey Justin... Yep, they are very cool... Been using one for about 2 months now. Love it... Has great range and so far, no issues when gigging. A good friend uses it to gig several times a week... it's just very convenient.
Justin, you are a really cool dude....nice as can be and your site is great.
Hey thanks for info😊
Awesome I'm sold
I received one of these for a gift and it is just awesome. Boy is it nice to not be stepping on cables while I am practicing. Sure it is a luxury item, but a very nice one to have. I have played for 2-3 consecutive hours without charging and have not killed the battery yet.
you aged well justin.. i remember watching some of your tutorials years ago. i learned pinch harmonics from you! hehe! thank you!
I´ve had one for about 2 days and i love it. As soon as i have enough Money i will buy my own one.
I bought one 1 month ago. I love it. I don't notice any real tone difference and it has a good range.
I loveeee your videos
Thanks Justin
I just watched your video from 8 years ago. And now I'm here. I just feel that I time travelled.
Hi Justin what do you do when the battery dies and you need to replace it.
This is the second video on youtube i've watch, just explanation no sound test
Hi, how would you use/connect the Line 6 Relay g10 with boss gt 100 and amp on a stage setting? How would connect everything in order to enjoy the wireless experience.
Awesome
I was waiting for a demo, but only got a review, maybe some other times.....and would be cool to compared those waves recorded on you pc or mac, thx mister, great job as usual
Is the battery replaceable after it won't recharge or is the transmitter a through away ? How many years will the battery last ? I haven't found any mention of this in the user manual or videos .
Hi. Really good video. Do you know if this system work for active pick up? Thanks.
I'm using the shure glxd 16, it has a normal body pack but the receiver is just as big as a usual pedal, it got powered by a 9 Volt power source and it hast a build in tuner that works great.
Would this help in reducing a ground loop hum? I'm guessing it would because you are no longer physically connecting the guitar to the amp... any thoughts, Justin?
Are there multiple channels, or will it work in the vicinity of another one without crosstalk? thanks, jm
omg i have been learning guitar from ur 2009 vids u look so different from then
Hi Justin love your channel, I'm looking for my first wireless system but so many out there. Would you recommend one? Thanks in advance
Correct me if I'm wrong, but does the receiver [the pedal size one with the audio-output] have an internal battery?
I can't see how it's practical to throw onto a pedalboard considering the receiver itself doesn't have a 9v input..
This looks like it could be the answer! I would really appreciate being 'unleashed' at gigs. I especially like the option of joining/leaving the stage with my guitar in place and ready to play. How dramatic, right? Just stroll onto the stage with axe in hand and start playing when you reach your spot. Cool for stage-sharing with other performers, eh, what?
Justin, I agree 100%. This is the most inexpensive, reliable wireless system around. But you're unclear about 1 thing. You can plug it into a wall outlet with any cellphone charger. The beauty of USB! I
'm not a big fan of modeling amps or non-tube amps, so I'm not familiar with Line 6 for that & I did order a Variax guitar and sent it back because I wasn't thrilled with the quality. But their peripherals (stomp boxes, effects I/O's and gadgets) are excellent.
Keep the reviews coming because we buy a lot of the same things.
Just to let you know Justin but it's perfect for electric violin! (Yamaha YEV 104) Thanks for the video.
Went to check it out at GC after the video, you're right Justin it's very good... and I got a good 20% discount 👍🏼😉
hey nice review...i'm wondering if the plug fit with Gibson 'cause the jack is on the front...maybe it's not very 'pretty'??
Justin, could you help me, please ? i have been having pain in my left hand and what i mean that it is not a wrist, difficult to explain, but its sort of a middle of my arm, like some tension muscles, i think its because i find it difficult to press the strings. Ive been playing almost a year and it happened before but then it went away in time and now its happening again. It happened after i took a 2 weeks pause in playing and after i bought a new pack of strings and got them replaced (the same strings as before) but i also got replaced i guess its called saddle(in a bridge) and the distance between strings has been increased, thats the only reason i can think of that i find it difficult to press. I want to ask, should i decrease that distance ? For now its about 5mm from the neck to a 6th string on the 12th fret. Acoustic guitar. Thank you for your videos anyway, i really love them, and sorry for any mistakes i am form russia :D cheers
Cool video justin. I would be great if for the next you show the product in action?
Cool!!
It would simplify my life.
(y) for a world wireless!
Yay for wireless!
As always, a well thought out and realistic review from Justin! Nice unit but I’ve got a couple of issues with it. For such a small unit, why didn’t they just use a 9 volt plug in that most of use have on our pedalboards instead of the USB where we need another 220 volt outlet? Also, seems that the unit would get in the way on a strat and I’d be afraid of breaking it off. Better would be putting some type of clip on the unit to attach to your guitar strap and then into the guitar via cable. Just my thoughts.
Justin....can you please make a video on how to play feeling a moment by feeder( acoustic version) ?
Is the battery changeable, or when it weakens, can be thrown away?
Brilliant! How do you find these things? Thanks
The Canadian distributor, Yorkville Sound, is replacing Relay G10T transmitters even if they are out of warranty. They are defective. I don't know about anywhere else but don't accept any excuses or denial. I contacted Yorkville Sound directly and they told to me to contact the dealer I bought it from. In turn they talked to Yorkville Sound, and then told me bring the defective unit in to them.
I doubt that this will be answered but if you do happen to see this could you tell me what kind of strat you used years ago, the amazing looking red one that you used in the fender mustang amp review. I just really want to know because I think that that shade of red is perfect on a strat and want to know if its possible to find that same guitar for sale or if I would have to get a strat refinished in that color.
Hey there Justin - after two years are you still using the wireless system? What is the battery life like now? Want one, but not sure whether to stay with the external battery systems...
Back from the music store and I got it. ^_^
Does this work for basses tuned to low frequencies
Hi Justin
I have been playing guitar for a while and recently I fall in love with poprock style and I really would like to progress and improve myself in terms of strumming pattern and chord progression that I can use for my songs.
I would really appreciate if you make lessons about Poprock guitar especially strumming pattern !! And also if you give me guidance how can I improve myself.
I really appreciate all your work..
Thanks
Just a head-up for musos based in Australia (where Justin hails from originally), who are thinking about buying a wireless system. Justin’s unofficial endorsement of the Line 6 is valid, and it works well in the UK, and probably other European jurisdictions. But you may have problems with radio and TV interference playing through your amps along with your blistering solo. Long story short - as the transition between analog and digital broadcasting is completed, the frequencies between 694MHz-820MHz (what's called the digital dividend) will be transitioned for use by long-term evolution or 4G services.
Check with the manufacturer that the wireless system you plan on buying for Australian usage is configured to use the frequency band from 1790MHz to 1800MHz which, as of 2015, is reserved exclusively for audio transmission. This is the band for guitar signals and wireless mikes.
Here are the details: www.cnet.com/news/australian-wireless-microphone-frequencies-become-illegal-in-2015/
Happy to be corrected or to hear of ways of getting around the issue of playing live without leads in Oz.
Hi Justin, sounds great but what's it like for interference? I've had wireless headphones before that were unusable because they suffered from noise whenever i moved position. Would be good to know what frequency this gizmo runs at
2.4 GHz, so it could clash with other stuff like a wi-fi unit. It sounds as if you have a noisy appliance in your house, have you tried to track it down?
Hey Justin, Would you please post more about music theory essentials?
Hi. Do you have the footprint dimensions of the base unit
I have had 2 and both have had battery issues, the first was replaced as it would not charge out of the box from new, the second worked ok and was great, I loved it but after 12 months in only holds about 20 minutes charge.
Really? This sucks.
Please come back justin, i need your classes
Does it work good with acoustic violin
Is the G10 Transmitter compatible with the G30 Receiver?
What is the battery life for the unit and what does Line 6 do to replace it. Most batteries have a charge life of say 600 charges till they cant be charged anymore. Any thoughts on that.? Thanks Justin.
It's never run out so not sure how many hours, but at least 4 (how long my workshops were I used it).
Metal Head Hippie hi. faq site here line6.com/support/page/kb/_/live-sound/relay-digital-wireless/relay-g10-faq-r808 which has the answer for this and a few more things you might ask.
Hi Justin. Do you have any tip for wrist pain? Everytime I do bar chords hurts, and Ive been doing it for a while. Sometimes I think it is my wrist that dont work. Maybe I have to try other instrument?
Luca Ucronia How many years have you been playing? Not more than one i suppose...it a commong problem my friend it happens to prety mutch everyone at the begining
Actually if I put all time Ive practice definitly must be like a year. I have to practice more and harder
How come mine is Flashing RED continuously on the receiver ring light !! ?? It was working perfectly fine before and now it just does not seem to charge right ??? 😨😰😰
Great review. I just bought this based on this video. I highly recommend you get an Amazon affiliate account so you can make money when you generate sales.
When plugged in the guitar, especially a Strat, does it kinda get in the way of your strumming hand?
I have one (because I've got the Yamaha Thr II30 that has an inbuilt receiver (Yamaha bought the Line6 company) and a strat and I can assure you it does not get in the way at all....in fact I find when I sit down to play guitar, because of the location of the jack plug on most guitars e.g. Les Paul, you do sometimes catch it - but of course you would anyway with a cable. Use this with a strat and nothing sticks out! - I jam in bed or on the sofa !! it's so great.
@@philcowdall9399 Three years since I've posted my comment and I since bought the Boss WL 50, which has more or less the same shape factor, and it doesn't get in the way at all indeed ;)
Have you testet IT with an acoustic guitar? Any issues with hum or other sounds due to the smaller ground portion on the acoustic?
Fine with my acoustic!
Does anybody know if i could use this on a keyboard ? would it sound good like the guitar ?
Hai Justin,
Can it work in a stereo situation?
thx!!!!
Martijn
Is this wireless device able to be used on amps that aren't line 6 or not?
they should pay you, good review for awesome product
they don't pay me anything, they don't know I was going to do it!
I wamt to listen to records on wireless headphones but my receiver was made in 95' and only has a 1/4" input would this work if i connect a cable between this receiver and my stereo could i connect Bluetooth headphones
Or what could i use for that
I have had 4 units in the last year - all failed within a few months or less with only a few hours of use (less than 20). Customer support has been great in terms of replacing defective units, but after the 4th one went bad I gave up. Too bad.
Does not fit into my telecaster. Any suggestions?
Hey really really neat! Cool! I have a question, will it work with my Ipad 2? I use BIAS Amp simulation software that I plug my guitar into the ipad. Thanks.
I don't think so. But not sure.
If you plug the Receiver into your IRig/Apogee Jam or what else you use to plug your Guitar into your IPad, it works great.
wonder if there is an analog version?
Some advice to make it more useful and wireless. I use a 5v cell phone charging battery pack (mines a Polaroid brand) to power my receiver base so I don't have to plug it into the wall with that short cable. It may void warranty but I really havent had much of a problem with it. I use this system live on shows especially on small stages and it works fine.
you can also buy a guitar 9v to USB adaptor now :) see Custom Pedal Boards site!
JustinGuitar really? That's so cool, I've looked but not seen one. It would have to be 5v though.
www.custompedalboards.co.uk/product/rock-stock-pedals-the-bright-switch/
JustinGuitar nice! Thanks Justin. Btw your lessons took me from absolutely awful to semi decent so far. I even played my first gig as a guitarist and it wasn't utter failure! Thanks for the great work, it's really helping me fulfill my dream of learning guitar :)
Ditto that. This guy is my favorite teacher by far and has taken me miles from where I was a few years ago. I often feel guilty because I haven't actually bought anything (yet!) So far, I've been able to deal with the guilt. ;-P
great device, i wonder if it works good on Keyboard to Amp, BTW they just issued a recall on this, so you may get a new one!
Does anyone know if the Line 6 Relay G10 works on the Yamaha THR10?
Have you seen any comments on skips about a fraction of a section.I Experienced this at a gig with about 150 people 90% of them were using cell phones
Any good for bass?
You can get some nifty little solar chargers with usb that would go well with this for the mobile string-plucker. Cheers for the review, Mr S. peace matey
Cheers!
can i use electric guitar while learning from your beginner's coarse?.. you use acoustic there...are the chords any different??... I'm just starting out
navpreet singh Yes you can use that without problems. The tone will be different of course but the tuning and the grips are just the same.
Justin justin!!! Please do a tutorial on Everthing by Lifehouse!!! I want to play this for my Gf then propose after. I'd do a video and shoutout for you and your channel for making it happen!!! PLZ
Captain America, is that you?
If I run the balanced out to the PA will I get the sound of my amp as if I'm micing the amp?
It will never be the same sound, amp (pre amp and power amp), peakers, mics, mic placement etc all influence the sound. | LievenDV | JustinGuitar Official Assistant
@@justinguitar I think what I meant is can I use this instead of putting a mic on my amp or will it sound like a modeler with no cab block? My singer recently got this wireless system and the sound guy plugged into it instead of micing her amp and I said "that's not going to work" but I guess it will. Does it have a built in cab sim. I'm just not really understanding what the balanced out is for.
Does anyone know if the plug fits in a telecaster jack? I know that sometimes the deep well gets in the way.
It fits in my Baja Tele, but i don't recommend it. it worked great for a month, now it wont work in any of my guitars. i have 5 different guitars.
Does the receiver (box) need to be connected to the power supply ALWAYS ?? What if the stage does NOT have power supply ?
Yes, you have to connect base receptor with usb cable and adaptator.
I have one and it works well except on my electric guitar that has a piezo bridge. Works fine when using normal pickups but when I switch to the piezo, no sound. Line 6 recommend an adator to be used which I bought and now I get sound but also unfortunately interference noise. Also not very elegant with the adaptor so not a great solution. Would be better if Line 6 could fix this problem.
I was flirting with the Line 6 too. The only thing that kept me from buying it was the Xvive (mind the spelling). It performs much the same but the receiver is even smaller. The receiver and the transmitter are of the same size and fit in a pocket and I take it everywhere to open mics like a virtual cable. Charged also via USB. ~$150 on Amazon. You have to turn both units on and off though. Will last 3 to 4 hours.
www.amazon.com/Xvive-U2-rechargeable-2-4GHZ-Wireless/dp/B01J78IC64
Update:
I bought the Line 6 a few weeks ago because the XVive was a bit sensitive to my Airport Express which I need to control my XAir 18 mixer from an iPad. Though I like that the XVive has no cables at all (just 2 plugs) the Line6 is is a bit more robust and forgiving towards the Wireless Router and seems overall a tad bit more rugged. It has performed really well for me and I always forget to unplug it during a break but, as Justin pointed out, it puts itself to sleep which has probably saved me a number of times. The XVive doesn't do that. You have to turn bot units off and on and they also charge via USB.
Please do a tutorial on temple Of thoughts by poets of the fall
Hi Justin Can you do a tutorial for People Are Strange by the Doors?
Very cool little piece of gear!
Word of warning though - it doesn't work with all guitars that have active pickups or other active systems such as boosts, preamps etc :(
I believe you can fix the issue in most cases if you're willing to re-solder some connections on the input jack of your guitar, but in many (most?) cases it won't work out of the box with active pickups!
Actually, Justin, I know you own a ton of guitars - some of which surely must fall into this category. Have you had any problems?
Kasper Fauerby Don't know about others obviously, but it works fine with my Clapton strat with the tbx tone circuit. Also mine came with the adapter some have mentioned in the box.
How does this work on tours? Have you had any cut out issues?
Not yet, but not toured with it - just workshops - but no problems!
DO NOT tour with this, don't even leave your room with it. The USB port will break.
hey can you do a guitar lesson for 'what would love do' by jason mraz.
Hey Justin could you PLEASE please do Stevie Ray Vaughan - we couldn't stand the weather!!! It would be awesome if you could I can't find any good tutorials on it I have subbed!
I have a similar wireless system by Smoothhound that I have been happy with. However the Line 6 one looks better thought out. The fact the transmitter charges from the base is great. I can see that the transmitter doesn't hinge though, so when you plug it in a guitar like a 335 or a Sheraton that has the hole in the front of the guitar it will stick out - does that cause any problems when playing?
This transmitter comes with a 90 degree adapter.End of problem on a sheraton.
I just bought one of these G-10's and it came with a 90 degree plug adapter that might help with your style of guitar. I have a Strat and the hole is angled making it nice to plug into.
Norm McDonald endorses Line 6!!!
Ha ha my first thought too!
😂😂
hey justin which acoustic guitar do u use and recommend?
Matons!
Okay
Thanks
