talonmm Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Well I ordered what I thought would work fine from ebay in allowing me to play an Ibanez JEM77P guitar with the wireless g10 since the G10 does not quite fit properly into the guitar cavity (here's the link).... http://www.ebay.com/itm/400667246204?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT The item I ordered was a Stereo 6.35mm Female Socket to Male Mono ¼" Guitar 6.35mm Jack Plug Adapter. The adapter worked but very poorly. It added for lack of a better word, overdrive on clean sounds, and I believe the volume suffered and was coming in and out. The size and footprint are perfect. Can anyone recommend a better adapter solution? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrellM5 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 What worked for me is a 1/4" mono to 1/4" mono adapter, which I bought for a similar price to the one you purchased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuRiXY Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Exactly, you just bought the opposite, you need mono to stereo or mono to mono :) But not stereo->whatever, or the unit will think it is charging :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crm3550 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I found a workaround on the transmitter not fitting into the guitar input. I have a Ibanez S series with the recessed 1/4" plug. I removed the back plate lossened the jack and placed a 1/4" thick by 3/4" diameter rubber washer on the outside of the jack. This gave plenty of room for the G10 transmitter to connect. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you post a picture of inside the back plate where you placed the washer? This is genius! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crm3550 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Can you post a picture of inside the back plate where you placed the washer? This is genius! I just loosened the jack and I sliced one end of the rubber washer to where I could slide it over the jack. I then retightened the jack and that's was all. It just pushed the jack end out enough to where the G10 transmitter would fit correctly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the same thing with a couple of #10 rubber o-rings from the plumbing isle at home depot. It took me longer to remove and replace the back plate than it did to do the fix. Thanks for the idea. Genius. I was really worried about dinging up the wood around the area, and this fix actually gives me clearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozmo Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Thanks @crm3550 and @jmartin1997!! I bought a box of #10 o-rings from the plumbing isle at Home Depot, and followed your steps. It worked perfectly! Here's some reference pics for anyone else wondering. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daviddlch Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Will this Danco #10 O-ring 11/16" O.D X 1/2 I.D X 3/32" work on Ibanez SR2605 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that input jacks are standard, so my money would be on yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This gave plenty of room for the G10 transmitter to connect. Absolutely brilliant. I was concerned with this because I wanted to buy an Ibanez 224AZ and I didn't think the G10 transmitter would fit in the guitar. So after seeing your post I went to the shop to try the guitar. We checked it with a Boss WL transmitter that didn't fit either. I got the guitar, bought some rings and... Perfect. I can't figure a better solution. I just needed one ring (maybe I'll put one more). It works with both G10 and WL. Thank you very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripperx121 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 So I have this same problem with two Ibanez guitars. I did a google search after trying a Hosa gender changer that was trash. This post popped up and now I feel pretty dumb not trying this first. I never thought the jack was going to be so long and such good quality. This worked perfect! Works like butter! Thank you for thinking out of the box! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
