Totally agree with you. This is an expensive, 'cool' and a non professional toy. Clearly it's not made to the real life of a professional musician. Yes, sounds good... when it can sound. It's not enough by far. And I'm happy for those who tell that this is a zero problems product but wake up please, only few of you have zero problems. The reality is that this is a unrealiable and unuseful piece of gear if you use it for professional purposes... and even when not. The other day I play in a very very small village, outside of it (I mean, very far from any WiFi hotspot you can imagine. Probably the nearest WiFi spot would be at least at 100 meters of distance from the stage), almost in the forest (in fact, we were in the beginning of the forest). The result? The most humiliating moments ever as a musician. I couldn't move more tan 1 meter from the receiver. I tried to jump out the stage, but once I did it, impossible to make it sound my guitar. The singer told me that in that moment he saw the green light in the receiver turned completely off when my guitar sound dissapeared. How can you explain that unless there are WiFi trees? Maybe a faulty unit? Maybe, but then... almost every unit is faulty? Moreover, it's incredible to receive negative points for telling only facts. I think the fanboys were only a thing of the videogames world and all that kind of things.

So, We can't play at home because the WiFi. We can't play in a club because the WiFi and cells. If anybody here plays in a stadium... just he must ask everyone there that turn off their phones if they want to hear the guitar? XXI Century and Line 6 made a product that can't be placed in anywhere if there is civilization near to? Maybe you suggest that we must play in the forest for the animals? Today I got dropouts during 20 minutes every 4 to 10 seconds. about 1 second each one. Just bought it and I'm about to refund it. My old, tiny and cheap AKG wireless system works much and much better, since 10 years now... with a single AAA battery and the size of the Jack + the battery. I loose some tone with it, but at least the audience can hear me from the beginning to the end of the gig (maybe are we asking too much, Line 6 staff?). Even putting the receiver inside a box in a gig with 500 people and walking away about 40 meters of distance I get sound from my cheap AKG. I can't imagine how works G70 before the " important update". By the way: tested without any WiFi nearby and perfect cable conditions. Same results. And I don't want forget to mention that G70 also suck the tone (and not in a few amount). Please, test your gear with cable and after that with G70 in the best PA system as possible. You will notice that. It's like you decrease the value of your gain almost a 10%. And that is not possible to recover adding gain in the G70 menu because you won't be able to achieve that. You can increase the volumen if you want, but the low-end and guitar body sound is lost anyway. It's really a shame. The last thing I buy from Line 6. Almost 500€ for this? Are you serious? This is a scam. Definitely this is not a piece of gear for professionals. It's only an expensive and unfinished toy. Looking for other wireless guitar systems. I think no one can be worst considering that every wireless system used before it sounds, at least.
