G10T/G10TII LED States: Transmitter Green when in guitar: On Red flashing when in guitar: Less than 30 minutes battery life left Green when docked: Fully charged Green flashing when docked: Charging Red flashing when docked: Less than 30 minutes battery life left and charging Receiver White solid: On and connected to G10 transmitter OR charging docked G10 transmitter White flashing: No signal from G10 transmitter Red flashing: Less than 30 minutes battery life left on a transmitter that is in use and transmitting, and not for a transmitter that is docked/charging. It is possible that the receiver's LED halo will flash red under other conditions, such as if the transmitter is not properly docked. Q: What is different between the original G10T and the new G10TII transmitters? A: The most obvious difference may be that the original G10T is black in color, while the new G10TII is dark grey. The new G10TII also incorporates new battery management technology, resulting in up to 7 hours of runtime and 170 hours of standby time, compared with the original G10T on the latest version 1.06 firmware, with up to 6 hours of runtime and 150 hours of standby time. Additionally, the new G10TII is electrically compatible with instruments using active pickups and preamps, without the need for an adapter. Q: My G10T/G10TII transmitter was fully charged, but my G10S is now at a single red LED and I have not played for very long. What happened? A: If, after a full charge, the LEDs drop to a single red LED sooner than expected, the transmitter may continue to operate for a number of hours, depending on the condition of the battery. While variation exists between batteries, a red blinking LED will generally indicate 30 minutes or less of play time. Q. Why is my docked transmitter flashing green when I know it's fully charged? A. Once a transmitter reaches full charge when docked, the transmitter will begin to discharge at a trickle. Eventually, the transmitter will dip down to a threshold at which it charges again. At that point, the LED may begin to flash, indicating charging. This could be noticeable for a few seconds, or potentially longer, depending on the condition of the battery. Just as there will be variation from unit to unit with regard to battery performance, you may observe the interval at which that flashing occurs may vary from unit to unit. Transmitters that have been through many cycles or that have problematic batteries could have a diminished performance and might now be much closer to dipping down into that threshold when they trickle upon full charge, which could make that flashing LED state occur more frequently, where it might be more readily observable in those cases. Q: I inserted the transmitter into the receiver and let it charge for many hours, but the transmitter never fully charged. The transmitter and the receiver is constantly blinking red. Why? A: In some cases, the transmitter could stand to be updated using the Line 6 Updater program found at www.Line6.com/software. Please make sure you are using the latest version of Line 6 Updater. Otherwise, there's a chance that the transmitter was not seated completely into the receiver to start the charging process. Once the transmitter is correctly seated in the receiver, the receiver's LED halo will be a solid white, and the transmitter LED will flash green until fully charged, at which point the transmitter LED will be solid green. Please see the images below for examples. Here is a video that illustrates LED statuses: Q: How long does it take to charge the battery? A: On average, a new transmitter with its battery in a discharged state has given the following results when tested: 15 minutes of charging gives at least 30 minutes of run time 30 minutes of charging gives nearly 1 hours of run time 3 hours of charging (full charge) gives approximately 6 hours of run time for G10T, or 7 hours of run time for G10TII All rechargeable batteries gradually lose capacity, so eventually the run times will decrease. Q: Should I leave my fully-charged G10 transmitter in the receiver? A: The unit is designed for the transmitter to be plugged into the receiver to stay charged. Think of this much like you would a cordless phone. Always keep it docked if you can for good battery life. Not being docked will not damage the battery nor accelerate drainage. Q: What is the lifespan of the battery? A: After 300 full charging cycles, expect the battery to gradually lose capacity, the amount of which varies. Please keep in mind that there are many factors that can affect these numbers, such as temperature, humidity, etc. but not enough to significantly shorten the life span of the battery. Q: Does the G10T/G10TII transmitter fit all guitars? A: We have designed the G10 and G10TII transmitters to fit into almost any guitar. However, we anticipate that there will be some rare cases where the transmitter does not fit into a given guitar. If the G10 or G10TII transmitter is inserted into your guitar and the transmitter's actuator pin is not engaged, the transmitter will not turn on, the LED on the transmitter will not light up, and no signal is processed. We have found that a workaround to this issue is to use a mono-to-mono (TS-TS) Male to Female adaptor or cable. See this article for more details: Relay G10 Guitar Compatibility (Fit/Electronics) Q: Does the G10/G10TII transmitter work with older Variax guitars? A: Yes, but the fit is not exact. Please see this article for more details: Relay G10 compatibility with older Variax models Q: Does the G10 transmitter work with guitars that use active electronics? A: In some rare cases, the guitar's active electronics are wired with inverse polarity. In this scenario, the original G10TII transmitter's electronics can go into a protection mode that keeps the system from being functional. This is evidenced by no output from the receiver, even though the transmitter's light is on. The new G10TII is designed to be electrically compatible with instruments using active pickups and preamps, without the need for an adapter. Additionally, certain instruments may present a level of noise when their active circuitry is engaged and the transmitter is connected. We have found that in most cases, a workaround to this issue is to use a mono-to-mono (TS-TS) Male to Female adaptor or cable. See this article for more details: Relay G10 Guitar Compatibility (Fit/Electronics) Q: Does the G10/G10S system work with instruments other than guitar? A: We developed and tested G10 and G10Sfor guitar and bass, but in theory, these products will work with any instrument-level source. This is not to say that it will work with any instrument you try it with, based on the above guitar-compatibility answers, but we expect that most will find success, so you are welcome to try. Q: If you leave the transmitter plugged into a guitar, does it still use up battery life even if it's not being used? A: After 4 minutes of silence, the transmitter will go into sleep mode, and will come back on when audio is passed through it again. Q: I have a guitar with active pick-ups. Can I leave the transmitter plugged in without the guitar battery dying? A: The experience should not be any different than leaving a guitar cable plugged into the guitar, meaning the G10T or G10TII will shut off in four minutes if it doesn't detect a signal. We suggest turning your guitar down to 0 when not in use, as some guitars, even those without active pick-ups, can produce enough hum or noise to trick the transmitter into staying turned on. Note that with certain guitars that have active electronics, leaving a cable plugged in might drain the guitar's battery, so the same may happen with a G10T or G10TII left in the guitar. Q: What is the maximum input / output level for the Relay G10 and G10S? A: The G10T/G10TII transmitter's maximum input level is 6.5 Vpp (= 9.5 dBu). The outputs on the receivers are at unity, so they are the same. Q: What is the dynamic range for the Relay G10 and G10S? A: Both products feature a dynamic range of greater than 110 dBA when used with either the G10T or G10TII transmitter. Q: What is the frequency response for the Relay G10 and G10S? A: Both products have a response of 10 Hz - 20 kHz when used with either the G10T or G10TII transmitter. Q: What is the amount of latency for the Relay G10 and G10S? A: Both products have approximately 2.8 milliseconds of latency from input to output, when used with either the G10T or G10TII transmitter. Q: What is the input impedance for the G10T/G10TII? A: Greater than 1 MΩ for both transmitters. Q: What are the specs on the provided Relay G10 and G10S power supplies? A: For Relay G10: 5V 1.0A output, input of 100-240v. The Relay G10S includes the DC-1g, which is a 9V DC 0.5A output, input of 100-240v. Q: Will phantom power harm the G10 or G10S receiver? A: No, the receivers will not be harmed by phantom power. Q: At what temperatures can I charge my G10T/G10TII transmitter? A: The recommended charging temperature range of the G10T and G10TII transmitters is specified as 50° F to 86° F (10° C to 30° C). Q: At what temperatures can I operate my G10T/G10TII transmitter? A: The recommended operating temperature range of the G10T and G10TII transmitters is specified as 32° F to 122° F (0° C to 50° C). Q: What are the specs on the provided Relay G10 Series power supply? A: 5V 1.0A output, input of 100-240v Q: Will phantom power harm the G10 receiver? A: No, the G10 receiver will not be harmed by phantom power. Q: Where can I purchase a Relay G10 Series Wireless System or replacement/extra Relay G10 transmitters (G10T)? A: You can order them from any authorized dealer. Q: What type of cable do I need between my guitar & G10T/G10TII transmitter? A: None; it plugs directly into your guitar. Q: Can I use both the 1/4" output and the XLR output at the same time? A: Yes, they can both be used simultaneously. Q: What Cable Tone length is the G10/G10S set to? A: G10's Cable Tone is set to 10 feet on the 1/4" output only. The XLR output is full frequency range. These settings are not configurable. For the G10S, Cable Tone is switchable between Off (full frequency), 10 feet, and 30 feet. Q: What is the range of the G10/G10S? A: The G10 is 50 feet, line of sight, as local conditions allow. The G10S is 130 feet. Line of sight: As with our other wireless gear, be sure to have a visible line of sight with the receiver. To get the best performance out of the G10 or G10S, do not obstruct the receiver with other gear or electronics. Q: How does G10/G10S/G10T/G10TII interact with other wireless devices? A: If you are using G10/G10S/G10T/G10TII in a setup with other 2.4 GHz wireless devices, please make sure to switch on all other wireless devices first, allow them to initialize and set channels, then dock the G10T or G10TII transmitter into the receiver for at least 15 seconds so the system can select a free channel. When using several G10 or G10S systems, please start by docking the first transmitter in the receiver, wait 15 seconds, undock it and plug it into your instrument. Please make sure that it is on (green LED on the transmitter). Repeat this process with the subsequent units. Many Line 6 wireless devices can be set to different RF modes. All Line 6 wireless units in a setup need to utilize the same RF mode to avoid problems. Your G10/G10S/G10T/G10TII unit is always set to RF2, so make sure that any other Line 6 wireless devices in your setup are set to RF 2 mode. G70/75 units use RF3, which can coexist with RF2 for G10/G10S/G10T/G10TII , so long as you avoid using the same channel between them. Here's an article that shows how to switch RF modes: http://line6.com/support/page/kb/_/live-sound/relay-digital-wireless/rf1rf2-mode-switching-frequencies-r130 Q: Is the Relay G10/G10S transmitter (G10T/G10TII) compatible with the X2 receiver (or vice versa)? A: Both systems run in completely different frequency ranges so they are not compatible with each other. However, X2 and Relay units can be used on the same stage (along with any other analog wireless systems) with no problems. Q: Does USB 3.0 create interference in the 2.4GHz frequency range? A : USB 3.0 computer cables and peripherals, including hard drives, are known to emit radio frequency interference throughout the 2.4GHz band, which results in reduced range and/or performance for any 2.4GHz device in its proximity (including wireless keyboard or mouse, WiFi, etc.). We recommend placing any digital wireless receivers at least two meters away from the USB 3.0 device and its cabling. Below is a link to a study by Intel regarding this interference. http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/io/universal-serial-bus/usb3-frequency-interference-paper.html Q: How do I register my Relay G10/G10S/G10T/G10TII System? A: You can register on your account: Gear Registration Dimensions - G10 Receiver: H 3.5"; W 4"; L 4" Transmitter: 2" long after inserted into instrument Total boxed weight: 3 lbs. Dimensions - G10S Receiver: H 2"; W 3.5"; L 5" Transmitter: 2" long after inserted into instrument Total boxed weight: 4 lbs.

Lithium Ion (L-Ion) rechargeable batteries are a very common technology employed in many consumer electronics. The below suggested best practices and general information will help you achieve the maximum battery performance over the product’s expected lifetime. The typical estimated life of a L-Ion battery is 300-500 charge cycles (fully charged-fully discharged-fully recharged) or 2-3 years, whichever occurs first. L-Ion batteries will slowly discharge when not in use. Do not leave batteries unused for extended periods of time, neither in storage nor in the product. When a battery has been unused for 6 months, charge or dispose of the battery based on charge status. Rechargeable L-Ion batteries have a limited life and will irreversibly and gradually lose their capacity to hold a charge. Run time decreases as the battery loses capacity. Elevated temperatures can cause permanent loss capacity and negatively impacts the cycle life. Whenever possible, keep L-Ion batteries in cool conditions to preserve the capacity of the cells. For touring James Tyler Variax owners: Lithium cell and battery transportation is regulated in both the United States and the international community. When using a freight company to transport your gear, we suggest that you disclose to the freight company that your guitar has a Lithium-ion battery in it.

Q: How much battery life should I expect with my XDR95 transmitter? A: During our in-house testing of alkaline battery performance, Kirkland, Energizer and Ray-O-Vac brands showed the best results. There are various test results available online that confirm this information. You should also be aware that there are black-market knock-offs out there that look “real” but fall short of the original manufacturer’s specifications. Line 6 digital wireless products now include Energizer batteries as others have not been performing up to spec. That being said, you should expect the battery life in the XDT4 to be between 5.5 and 6.5 Hours. Digital wireless technology has its own set of power demands, but as we develop products, we keep in mind the need for power efficiency. There is a big difference between 10 hours and 5 hours, but please remember the sound quality and benefits of the Line 6 digital system when compared to analog wireless. Q: Is the battery used in the receiver of the XDS95 overridden when using the AC adaptor input? A: In the current design, the battery is not overridden. What this means, is that if you plug in a power adapter to the XDS95 while there are working batteries in the receiver, the battery life will be drained in that configuration. Just make sure to remove the batteries if you are using a power adapter with the receiver. Q: Can I use rechargeable batteries with my Line 6 digital wireless system? A: Yes, but the specs on rechargeable batteries is all over the map and changes every time a battery is charged and discharged. In order to create and offer consistency, we have designed Line 6 digital wireless products to be used with standard 9V alkaline batteries. This way, we can predict and report battery life remaining with accuracy and translate that data to the battery meters that are included on Line 6 digital wireless components. Our knowledge of how consistently rechargeable batteries will work with the Line 6 digital wireless systems is limited. The rule of thumb is: As the battery remains above 6.2 V, it will continue to function. You may want to contact the battery manufacturer for further details. Q: What power supply should I use for the XDS-95 system? A: The Line 6 DC-1/DC1-G power supply will correctly power the XDS-95 system. Q: What power supply should I use for the XDS-plus or XDR95 system? A: the Condor 500ma power supply (supplied with the unit) or Line 6 DC1-G will power either the XDR Plus or XDR95 systems. Q: Where can I find more information on the power supply requirements and purchase a replacement/spare power supply? Power Supply, Amp Power and Battery F.A.Q. Q: Will my XDR95, XDS95 and XDSPlus work with 230/240 volt power? A: Yes, as long as the power transformer converts to 9V 500mA (For XDR95 & XDSPlus) and 9V 100mA (for XDS95) it will work. Our non-U.S. distributors sell 230V to 9V 500mA transformers. Q: I have a pedal board that distributes power to all my pedals. Can my XDS95 receiver share power with devices? A: Yes. Your XDS95 receiver only requires 9V 100mA, but the device will draw only what it needs. On pedal boards that share power with multiple devices, a device may not always get all the power that it needs. If power is being shared with other devices and you start experiencing any issues, dedicate power to the XDS95 and see if the issue goes away.

Q: Is the Variax a MIDI guitar? A: No, the Variax is a real guitar, and the guitar does not send MIDI signals. All of the sounds available in the Variax start with the actual string vibrations of the Variax itself. Our proprietary modeling process shapes the raw string signal to replicate the sounds of the modeled instruments. Q: What type of cable can I use with the Variax? A: In order to use the supplied XPS-DI direct box/power supply to deliver power to the Variax, you will need to use the supplied 1/4-inch TRS cable or equivalent. If you use the internal batteries as your power supply, any mono 1/4-inch cable will work. Q: How do I know when it is time to change the batteries? A: When the batteries have lost their charge the indicator light will continuously flash, and the audio may become distorted or intermittent. Q: Can I use rechargeable batteries in my Variax? A: Yes, although rechargeable NiCad batteries will not last as long as alkalines, as they deliver substantially less current. Rechargeable alkaline batteries would be a longer lasting choice. Q: How long will batteries last? A: The average life of a set of 6 alkaline AA batteries should be approximately 12-14 hours. So-called 'Heavy Duty' (carbon) batteries will usually last less time. The 9-volt battery should only be used as an emergency power supply and will last approximately 1-2 hours. To help insure the longest possible battery life, be sure to unplug the 1/4 inch jack when not in use. Q: How is the Variax different from the Roland VG-8 or VG-88? A: The Variax is self-contained; all of the sounds come from inside the guitar itself. The models were specifically developed for the body resonance and transducer of the Variax for the highest possible accuracy of modeling. The VG-8/88 is an external processor that is connected to a guitar via a separate hex pickup. With the VG system, variations in tone may occur due to the guitar the pickup is attached to, and the specific placement of the pickup. The VG-8 includes basic amp modeling and effects in addition to its guitar modeling functions. With the Variax, we concentrate on the guitar characteristics only and can deliver a much higher degree of accuracy and detail. Q: Where is the Variax made? A: The Variax was designed entirely by Line 6, by experienced luthiers, engineers, and industrial designers. The Variax was originally manufactured in Korea but now is manufactured in Indonesia and China and assembled in the U.S. Our Variax guitars are made world-class facilities with the latest computer-controlled manufacturing equipment. The manufacturer prefers to remain nameless because of its relationships with other guitar companies, but they are building the guitars to Line 6's specifications. Q: Can the Variax be run through any manufacturers' effects devices? A: Yes, the Variax will work with any manufacturers' effect devices. Batteries in the Guitar will allow you to connect to Line6 and third party effects processors and wireless systems. Q: Can the Variax be used with a wireless system? My wireless transmitter does not have a TRS plug, will it still work? A: As long as you are powering the Variax with batteries, you can use a wireless like you would on a regular guitar. The TRS cable is only needed when you are using the power supply. Q: Does the Variax work with only Line 6 amps? A: The Variax works with any guitar amp from any manufacturer, but Line 6 amplifiers may have special proprietary connections for the Variax instrument. Q: Will the Ebow work on the Line 6 Variax? A: Yes, it will work fine but remember that it won't get loud over the magentic pickup because it is a piezo pickup. Q: Can I feed two amps from the jack of my Variax guitar using batteries and a y-splitter cable? A: No, the Variax jack is not a "real" stereo jack. The Variax jack does use a TRS plug, but the "sleeve" portion of it is used to transmit power rather than audio. The TRS cable is not required if you are using batteries. Q: Is there a Variax Electric reference sheet available? A: Yes there is, although not an official Line 6 document. Your collegue Line 6 enthusiasts have created several documents that will give you an overview of the models inside your Variax. You can download and print them for your own use. Download it from Vettaville and scroll down the page for the different documents Q: Is it possible to produce feedback through an amp with the Variax? A: Yes. Since the sound from the Variax starts from the strings, blasting a lot of energy into the strings by standing in front of a loud amp will produce feedback. And since the Variax uses a piezo bridge instead of conventional magnetic pickups, you won't get microphonic squeals.

Français Deutsch Q: Which power supply works with each Line 6 device? Line 6 power supplies are available at your local dealer or at our Online Store. Q: I want to power more than one Line 6 unit from the same power supply. How can I achieve this? A: The Voodolab Pedal Power II Plus can power up to 6 Tonecore pedals and two Modeling pedals at once, and the Voodoo Lab Pedal Power AC can power up to four Modeling pedals. Other power supplies may not deliver consistent voltage and are not supported by Line 6. Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus Voodoo Lab Pedal power AC To power the early Line 6 "modeler pedals" (DL4, DM4, FM4, MM4, etc) with Pedal Power 2 Plus, use output 5 or 6, DIP switch AWAY from normal with the supplied red/black ended cable (it's 2.1mm/2.5mm reverse polarity and the red end fits the effect pedal). The reason this works is that the actual current draw* of these early modeler pedals is less than 250mA. Also, when DC power is used, 12V is required (as opposed to 9V when AC power is used). *It is quite common for effects/pedals to be labeled to match the specifications of some included/OEM power supply (as labeling them differently can often times confuse the end user). When however, in reality, these effects/pedals will have an actual current draw (mA) that is (far) less than this specified/labeled value. Note: sometimes, the actual current draw can be found in the manual (appendix/specs). Q: I am traveling overseas. How should I power my Line 6 device? A: You can buy any adapter that converts your country's power to these specs and it will work. Any electronics store in your country should be able to sell you one, or you can contact your local Line 6 dealer. Be aware that the DC-1g and DC-3g power supplies are universal across all voltage and power standards around the world, and you will only need the appropriate adapter for a new region rather than a different power supply or transformer. There are certain products that operate over a range of power supplied and don't require any conversion: Helix Floor/Rack/LT, Powercab 112/112 Plus, all Catalyst amps, Firehawk 1500: 100-240V AC Relay G90: 90-250V AC POD HD Pro/Pro X: 100-240V AC POD X3 Pro: 100-240V AC Q: What if I do not have the Line 6 power supply? A: If it is not possible for you to obtain an official Line 6 power supply, then any other power supply with the same specifications should suffice (but is not supported). Q: I am outside the United States, what do I need to power my Line 6 unit? Option 1: We recommended that the proper Line 6 power supply be used. Please contact an authorized Line 6 Distributor for the appropriate region. To acquire the proper Line 6 power supply for a desired country, please visit the Authorized Line 6 Dealers page to find an one near you. Option 2: You will need a travel voltage converter. These will work with our products provided they output the currents and voltages specified on your Line 6 devices or power supplies. Q: I purchased my internally powered Line 6 unit in a region that has "XXX" voltage, and now I am relocating to a region that has different power. Can my Line 6 unit be modified or do I need to use a external transformer? A: Many Line 6 products can be internally modified at an Authorized Line 6 Service Center to the power needs in your new region. Spider amplifiers require that the transformer be replaced along with internal modification. Please note that this is a non-warranty modification and will not be covered under any warranty agreement. Q: What are some of the common power situations around the world? A: Always verify your voltage and frequency BEFORE plugging your unit in, as damage could result if the unit is improperly powered. Although there can be variations to power, here are some common voltage and frequency situations found around the world: United States: 120V AC/60 HZ Europe: 230V AC/50Hz United Kingdom: 230V AC/50Hz Australia: 230V AC/50Hz Japan: 100V AC/60Hz Here are some examples available on the web: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country http://www.world-import.com/all-transformers.htm Q: What is the U.S. warranty on a Line 6 power supply? A: 90 days from the purchase date. This applies to power supplies purchased separately and were not included with a Line 6 device. Q: What is the difference between alkaline and rechargeable batteries? A: Rechargeable batteries will usually last about half the time of alkaline batteries, and can have an inconsistent power drain after each recharge. We recommend using alkaline batteries when powering your Line 6 product. Not all rechargables are true AA size and may not fit correctly. Quelle alimentation pour quel appareil Line 6? Vous pouvez acheter les alimentations du revendeur. Je veux alimenter plus qu’un seul appareil avec une alimentation, comment est-ce que je réalise ca ? Le Pedal Power II Plus de Voodoo Lab peut alimenter jusqu'à 6 pédales Tonecore et 2 pédales modélisations en même temps.

Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus Voodoo Lab Pedal power AC Je suis à l’étranger, comment est-ce que je peux alimenter mon appareil Line 6 ? Vous devez acheter un convertisseur ou contacter votre revendeur Line 6. L’alimentation DC-1g est universel donc vous n’avez pas besoin d’un transformateur ou une autre alimentation, seulement d’un adaptateur. Il y en a quelques appareils qui n’ont pas besoin d’un transformateur : POD HD Pro 100-240V AC, POD X3 Pro 100-240V AC, Relay G90 90-250V AC. Contactez un des revendeurs officiels de Line 6 si vous avez besoin d’une alimentation différente : www.fr.line6.com/support/dealers/ Et si je n’ai aucune alimentation Line 6? Qu’est-ce que je fais ? Si vous n’avez pas d’accès à une alimentation Line 6. Une alimentation de tires fonctionne aussi, si cette alimentation a les mêmes spécifications. Attention, ces alimentations ne sont pas soutiens de Line 6. J’ai acheté un appareil Line 6 avec alimentation intégrée et maintenant je vais à l’étranger avec cet appareil, est-ce qu’on peut modifier mon appareil ou est ce que j’ai besoin d’un transformateur ? Beaucoup d’appareils Line 6 peuvent être modifiés à un centre de service Line 6 autorisé. Le transformateur des amplis Spider doit être remplacé. Attention, ces modifications ne sont pas des modifications en garantie, donc vous devez payer pour ceux. Attention, vérifiez la tension et fréquence AVANT de brancher les appareils. Ici quelques tensions : États-Unis: 120V AC 60Hz Europe: 230V AC 50Hz Australie: 230V AC 50Hz Japon: 100V AC. Est: 50Hz. Ouest: 60Hz. Quelle est la garantie sur les alimentations Line 6 ? 90 jours pour les alimentations achetés séparément. Quelle est la différence entre les batteries Alkaline et les batteries rechargeables ?

Nous recommandons les batteries Alkalines pour les produits Line 6. Welches Netzteil brauche ich für mein Line 6 Gerät? Line 6 Netzteile konnen Sie bei Line 6 Handlern. Wie kann ich mehrere Line 6 Geräte an ein einziges Netzteil anschließen? Das Voodoolab Pedal Power II Plus kann bis zu 6 Tonecore Pedale und 2 Modeling Pedale mit Strom versorgen und das Voodoolab Pedal Power AC kann bis zu 4 Modeling Pedale mit Strom versorgen. Andere Netzteile könnten eventuell keine beständige Voltzahl liefern und sind nicht von Line 6 unterstützt. Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus Voodoo Lab Pedal Power AC Ich reise ins Ausland, wie kann ich dort meine Line 6 Geräte mit Strom versorgen? Sie können sich einen Adapter kaufen, der den Strom im Ausland in den Ihres Heimatlandes umwandelt. Jeder Elektronikladen sollte diese Adapter verkaufen, ansonsten können Sie auch Ihren Line 6 Händler kontaktieren. Der DC-1G ist universal verwendbar, für dieses Netzteil brauchen Sie also nur Adapteraufsatz und kein neues Netzteil oder Transformator. Manche Geräte laufen auf mehreren Voltzahlen: POD HD Pro 100-240 Volt Wechselstrom. POD X3 Pro 100-240 Volt Wechselstrom. Relay G90 90-250 Volt Wechselstrom. Spannungswandler müssen 1,5 A und 100 Watt minimum liefern können. Was kann ich tun wenn ich kein Line 6 Netzteil zur Verfügung habe? In diesem Fall können Sie auch jedes andere Netzteil verwenden, welches die oben angegebenen Spezifikationen hat. Diese Netzteile werden nicht von Line 6 unterstützt. Ich habe ein Line 6 Gerät mit internem Netzteil. Wenn ich nun aber in eine Region umziehe, in der die Spannung eine andere ist, kann ich mein Line 6 Gerät auch umbauen lassen oder brauche ich einen Transformator? Viele Line 6 Geräte (wie Rack-PODs, Flextone oder Vetta) und Verstärker können von autorisierten Line 6 Service Centern modifiziert werden um der benötigten Spannung zu entsprechen. Spider Verstärker brauchen einen neuen Transformator. Diese Modifikationen sind nicht in der Garantie enthalten, Sie müssen also für sie bezahlen.
