Line 6 relay G50/G90 transmitters- female sockets breaking up?

support@line6.com — Sat, 19 Jan 2013 08:53:50 GMT

We have several G50's and a G90 - in the band. They all use - what appears to be an all metal transmitter - one of the key selling features that appealed to us about them.......except they AREN'T !!

Just a few weeks ago one of the transmitters stopped holding the cable properly at the female end of the transmitter cable - when we looked inside we noticed that the PLASTIC inner sleeve of the connection had broken apart and the cable was therefore unable to "lock" onto the transmitter.

As this particular unit was still under warranty we took it back to our dealer and he sent it back to Line 6 for a repair.

It came back yesterday - I was expecting it to be simply replaced with the same inner plastic sleeve....but when I looked at it I noticed that it was a new METAL inner sleeve!!.......so I think they have had a problem with these and have changed the spec of the transmitter so that it now has a metal female connector.......

I am now therefore wondering if I should be trying to send ALL of out other 5 transmitters back to a Line 6 service centre and ask them to sort them all out??

We have another one that looks like its starting to break (small signs of fractures in the plastic). Anyone else had any issues??? Seems like its the most stressed area of the whole connection so very bizarre that they originally used plastic???

What about if any of the units are just out of warranty - will Line 6 honour these as goodwill repairs/improvements ?? We don't want the product getting a bad name because of a poor decision on the spec of the component? I think these will all start to fail over a short period.

How to replicate the "Holy War" patch?? Which effects used etc?

A guy who occasionally plays with us uses a Line 6 Spider Amp for gigging (which I htink is great by the way - but he does struggle with headroom a little) - on one song we do he had started to play the intro using this "Holy War" patch on the Line 6 - and it sounded Mega. So we now use it whenever he plays. Unfortunately we can't always guarantee he can play with us - and i need to try and replicate the sound.....

If anyone has heard that Line 6 patch/pre-set - could they give me (as a newbie) a clue as to how i might replicate it (on a modeler other than a Spider!) ?? Basically its a sort of harmonised rolling synth sound with an octave pitch...controlled by the expression pedal...!!!!! He has the larger of the two foot pedals.....

Shot in the dark - but thanks for any pointers....! Really looking for what blocks and effects are used etc....

Thanks!
