Afternoon all... I've been using my trusty G30 for around 9 years with no issues whatsoever. I've been looking at some of the new generation Shure and Line 6 units, and there's plenty of conflicting reports on all.
I was wondering what experience anyone here has with the Line 6 G70, Shure GLX D (pedal version). I don't really have any problems with my current system, and may well just get a 2nd transmitter, but I love the tuner/output capabilities of some of the new units. Open to others but must be board friendly. Went down the Smooth Hound route and it wasn't for me! Don't ever need to wander very far, but do like the freedom and gigs range from tiny pubs to festivals of 10,000 or so. Any reports much appreciated!

Have seen the newer G series wireless by Line 6 but not tried any of them.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
less than half the range and persistent drop out issues
Im stick with it for now but will be moving again as soon as I can
I play guitar and take photos of stuff. I also like beans on toast.

Brilliant unit, no dropouts, pedal is bombproof, pack just as good, a bit battery hungry but I've always used rechargeables so no concerns for me there.
Also used a Shure one for a while and I can;t see a massive improvement in quality or robustness between the 2.

it helps but as the pub gets busier or something happens during the night it starts flashing red and then will drop out
the range is NOWHERE near the G30 even in the ‘wander round the house’ test.
also I’ve NEVER had a dropout with the G30 in using them for 5 plus years 4 gigs a week (and that has no ability to scan for Wi-fi) so why is it ok and he G70 not
This thing is every 3rd or 4th gig
and it’s not a duff unit (or unlikely) as I’ve got 3 transmitters and 2 receivers and it is the same with them all.
Something has fundamentally changed in the type of signal they use between the g70 and the g30 and not for the better
Im really dissatisfied with it but I have a lot of it so I have to live with it for now

I found the form of both transmitter and receiver just not as practical as my G30 to be honest! A friend has had dropout issues too.
