mynameistrouble Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Hi, I've had my G50 for a good few years now, but I managed to sever the factory power cable within the first few months due to an unfortunate 'cable hanging out of the flight case when I closed it' incident. Since then I've got by by using my T-Rex Fuel Tank Chameleon with a current doubler to power the receiver. I've now got a Helix and that has rendered my entire pedal board redundant, and it seems like a bit of overkill (and a massive faff) to use the fuel tank to power the receiver. I want to get a new power supply and I want it to work properly. I bought what purported to be a suitable replacement for use with the G50 but at practice yesterday testing it out there were several instances where the receiver dropped out completely and all of the LEDs displayed a very very dim red light - not the clear red light that you get for low battery, but more of a barely perceptible glow. If I unplugged and plugged the power again then it worked for a short while, but then cut out again. I currently have it plugged in on my desk and it has been running without issue for a good 30 minutes. I therefore have two questions: 1) What does this 'dim red glow' mean? 2) Can someone please give me a link to somewhere I can purchase a genuine Line 6 power supply that is the correct one for use with this receiver? Many thanks, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameistrouble Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Now see attached two photos to demonstrate the problem. Having left the receiver plugged in for around an hour it did it's 'dim red light' trick. I then unplugged and plugged back in and the second photo shows the lights lit up correctly. Any ideas? The power supply is very hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
