Line 6 G10 ?

From the design it looks like its designed to go on a desktop but are there any obvious downsides for live work? 

I would get the G30 again but I hated how flimsy the transmitter felt.

Isn't G50 transmitter made of metal ?

does look good.. maybe the lack of channel control wont suit some.. whats the range like??

Looking at reviews its got a stupid mini usb in rather than a 9 volt. Apparantly it can be charged off a PP2s aux though.

Yes - mini usb. Mine sits beside my amp and is always charged. Works well live with good range - done a few gigs now without issue. Easy to swap between guitars and it mutes the signal as you unplug it.

Just picked one of these up today and will be testing tomorrow, rehearsing midweek then gigging it. Had a G30 but felt it was overkill for pub gigs and sold it but playing bigger places now and I want to roam and annoy our other guitarist Also good to get out FoH to hear the mix at soundcheck! 

Was worried about the USB but you can power it from a standalone power brick type device that you would use for your mobile etc (5v) and the mute function when changing it to other guitars is great = lot easier than swapping the pack for a G30 to another strap or having 2 packs etc.

I have one and love it. Gigged it once and used in rehearsals plenty of other times. No hassle setup...it just works.

It worked well while it worked.  After a week it did not want to charge any more and I had to send it back.

It seems the smooth hound wireless is in the same price veavker

I use rechargeables with my smoothhound and have a spare set charging while I'm playing,  I check the meter on the receiver before playing.    This weekend I did 3 gigs and a rehearsal and they still have plenty of life.
