I did not remove the case because it fit in the cavity. I made a 2AA battery dummy with power connections and the wires come out the side of the door. A cool thing for Line 6 to do would be to create the transmitter as small as possible that could be stuck on the inside of the back plate.. the battery needs a quick change (LiPo would be best), so maybe even make a new back plate for each guitar with a quick battery swap.

Reporting back from my previous post.. After 2 months of steady use, the change from 2 AA batteries to one LiPo 3.7 volt with the 1N4001 Power Blocking Diode works great!! The voltage starts at about 3.5 volts (instead of 4.2 volts) and lasts 5-6 hours. And, being so fast and easy to replace one battery without opening anything, is awesome!!! (compared to the 2 AA, opening/closing the fragile door, fumbling with 4 batteries - 2 in and 2 out) I did find that when I get 2 bars on the G30, there's maybe 2 minutes left before G30 shuts down. Attached is a picture of my guitar back plate.

Did the same thing to my guitar.. placed the G30 relay inside the cavity about 2 years ago, and it works great!! To change the NiMh batteries though, I have to take the plate off. My google search brought me here because I'm changing the 2 AA batteries into one LiPo 3.7 volt battery and make a new plate that has a cut out for the one battery/holder.. so I don't have to remove the plate. The 3.7 voltage could be a problem, but I found that a 1N4001 Power Blocking Diode reduces the voltage by .7 volts and restricts the voltage to only one direction. The last post here was almost 2 years ago, but I will bookmark this page and return to report results.
