Line 6 Relay G70 Guitar Wireless Review

**In this video I mistakenly comment that the G50 transmitter has a plastic housing, it in fact has a metal housing. Shame on me.**
A review of the Line 6 Relay G70 guitar wireless system. This system is very similar to the G75. If you're considering a rugged digital wireless system with the capability of easily handling multiple transmitters on one receiver, this may be the system for you.

What is your favorite guitar wireless system?

[@nicolabartoletti2170]

What do you Think about shure glxd16?the quality is similar to the g70?

[@BagusWibisono]

Nicola Bartoletti and now how about you dude? which prefer for best?

[@VlasList]

You also forgot to mention one killer feature of this system - it has a latency of 1.5 ms, the other systems of Line6 have a latency of 2.9 ms. Thanks for a good review!

Funnily the G70/75 is not sold anymore but the G50/55 still is. Love the tuner out, I like the A & B out so you can run an electric and acoustic from the same transmitter or a wet/dry setup. Pity it's not sold anymore, must have been troublesome in the long run

I have used a G50 for about 5 years now. It has served me well for over 800 shows. I also use rechargeable batteries. They last plenty long for even marathon shows. I almost never experience drop-outs under 50-75ft from the receiver. It works like a champ! Thank you for you insightful review. I was looking to buy the G70. Your video has helped me cinch the deal. I must say that for guitar wireless systems, Line 6 Relay Series is the best I have seen anywhere. They are built like tanks, affordable and reliable on the battlefield, where it counts most. What I LOVE most about the new G70 is that you can use regular guitar cables with the transmitter!! Bravo for that stroke of genius....aAnd my tuner pedal can take a break....one less pedal on the board. Sweet. I'll keep my G50 as a back up. I am sure it will keep going for years.

[@susirek]

Hi , line6 relay eliminates the guitar cable in good way but I`m also looking for a solution to receive the sound to my wireless headphones. I appreciate if anybody share thoughts about available solutions how to do it? thanks

[@DetroitAnalog]

Bluetooth?

[@nathanfowlerdotcom]

Hey, great review!!!! I've been using an audio technica for about a decade and it's time to move to digital (FCC taking the frequency). I'm looking at the line6 relay series. I currently use one receiver, and 2 or 3 transmitters, to switch between guitars. I keep all the transmitters on the same channel, and it is part of my normal flow to flip the transmitter on when I pickup a guitar and switch it off when I put the guitar down. This way I can switch guitars really fast, even though I'm not within reach of my pedalboard, as I don't need to step on an A/B pedal. Would that be possible with this rig? Could I set two transmitters to the same channel so that I don't have to step on the pedal to switch guitars?

[@ManBunMetalHead]

Thanks! That shouldn't be a problem at all. As long as you switch the other ones off, you'll be just fine.

[@nathanfowlerdotcom]

Sweet. That is exactly what I'm hoping to do. Thanks again for a really good demo, this video was the best info I could find on this rig and I didn't want to drop that much money without knowing more about it. Thank you!

[@BagusWibisono]

halo.. you prefer shure GLXD16 wireless or this g70 for on stages? and how about their sound quality?

[@ManBunMetalHead]

Unfortunately I've never used the Shure unit. I stand behind the G70 though.

[@patrikfekete2nd]

Hi! I really need your help, what is the weight of the Line 6 Relay G70's receiver, because I couldn't find its weight in the owner's manual. Can you measure it please? Thanks! :)

[@guitarguru62]

i cannot, for the life of me, get this to work with any of my acoustic guitars.... this works perfectly with my electric, but i cannot get an input signal on the receiver when plugged into my acoustic..! have you had any experience with this?

[@salesiosilva8133]

Serve para o contrabaixo também?

[@coldragoon]

im curious about the batteries you use. since rechargeable batteries are lower voltage than alkaline batteries...do you notice a sound difference? can you try this theory out for me?

[@ManBunMetalHead]

Because the G70 is a digital wireless, you won't have any differences or degradation in sound with a lower battery level. When the voltage reaches a certain level, it will just stop working.

[@dadgad1046]

I just ordered a G75 from Musicians Friend on the "Stupid Deal of the day" for $229.00. I was looking at the middle of the road systems for almost that price. The G70 was not on sale but if they ever go for the Stupid Deal price...

[@XChristianNoirX]

The cae Simulator should be a super highlighted feature of this thing.. If it doesn't do the job, I guess it's a lame feature that shouldn't affect a buyers decision to get it. Hmmm

[@mamifero.efimero]

Gain settings could work as a clean boost? Thanks in advance

[@ManBunMetalHead]

For sure

[@patrikfekete2nd]

Hi ! Can you use on this G70 the SCAN function?

[@ManBunMetalHead]

Yes, at least with the latest firmware version.

[@patrikfekete2nd]

Man Bun Metal Head With the new 2018.03. update , still have dropouts ?

[@ManBunMetalHead]

Haven't updated to that version yet. I'll do that and let you know.

[@patrikfekete2nd]

Man Bun Metal Head Thanks, btw now have you any dropouts with the frimware which is now on your relay G70, because I read some forums and lot people say they have lot dropouts? And thanks if you write here a comment about the new frimware :)

[@ManBunMetalHead]

I didn't notice much of a difference. Whenever I'm close to WiFi signals, I tend to get more dropouts. However, I haven't had a chance to try the SCAN function.

[@bobbattiste980]

Can you change RF on the G70

[@ManBunMetalHead]

As far as I know you can not.

[@BleedingUtopia]

G 50 is metal housing not plastic

[@Serpent54321]

correct me if i'm wrong, g50, but, plastic clip that breaks?

[@leafinfirerob]

This.might have sold.mr on this over the g50

[@ManBunMetalHead]

Excellent decision! You'll enjoy it!

[@markburgess6466]

never had a drop out on a G50 unless i missed it you ne er said anything about the boost and how to use it ? this is the thing that appeals to me especially if you can use it as input gain ie like a stomp box ?

[@ManBunMetalHead]

That is definitely a good way to utilize the output boost. I don't see why you couldn't do that.

[@winterjps]

I would use the boost to boost my Strat relative to my Les Paul, so my pedals/amps are receiving the same level.

[@bvaladez74]

G50 is not a plastic housing.

[@chrisdiceart]

I own and Gig a G50, it has a metal housing. You sort of lose credibility when you're factually wrong in the first bit of your review.

[@MarkLumsley]

People are allowed to make mistakes. You've never made mistakes?

[@chrisdiceart]

I've made plenty, I just expect someone posting a review to have the basic facts before doing so....

[@MarkVincentNevadaslick]

There's an old saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater". His video helped to get my system up and running properly. I appreciate you pointing out an error but no reason to insult the man.

[@TheBestbackingtracks]

I have one. DO NOT BUY! I have drop outs all the time! Dont kid yourself, the people at your show all have their phones on them DROP OUTS.......most engineers these days have a desk connected via WIFI to their tablet...DROP OUTS! and as of last week the usb power input fell out! (the USB power supply is all they provide with the unit)

[@tcarper]

So what wireless system is better?

[@Jamespendle]

@@tcarper i have used the audio technica system 10 stomp digital wireless for years all over the country in sketchy venues up to grand ones like o2 academies. Not a single dropout. The only thing i miss is a cable input but you can achieve this with a switch pedal if required.
