Have a look in the 'Made in the UK' section, there's a long relevant thread in there:

I have one, in fact we all do in my band, and they're brilliant.

Easy to swap guitars (no battery pack).
Not a pro unit and has no channel switching capabilities (I think it auto determines channel?) but a bargain nonetheless - and a big saving on batteries - even if you get rechargeables!
The cost of batteries really isn't that high. A pair will easily last 3 gigs. If you used Amazon cheapies that can't work out much more than 20p a gig...
Plus I'd much rather be able to slot a new pair of batteries in during a gig than fanny around with USB charging.
FWIW I use rechargeables.
I've just moved from L6 G50 to smoothound I picked up at the guitar show. Instantly better tone, and worked well at rehearsals . next test is how well it holds up gigging.
G10 - not keen on any device with a built in battery, would much rather AA/AAA etc, but it's cheap.. Not keen on the receiver though, looks huge? @Vaiai Is it really that big?
Love it.
been running them for 7 years now and they are all still going strong
Nothing not to love about it.
Great size, good battery life, good range, like that it's not rechargeable but standard batts, sounds great..
..but this is all trumped by the fact that I love the flashing light. Mmmmm shiny
I love mine, its so simple to use and you get superb clarity with a little more top end because you dont get the tone suck from cables. Also, it acts as a front end buffer for your pedal board. However, if you use older vintage style pedals like fuzz, you may not want a buffer at the front end of your signal chain.
Our drummer has the Line 6 G70 which is an excellent wireless system costing around £450. We tried them both side by side and aside from the G70's ability to simulate different cable length, 12 ( l think) channels and a longer range which we dont really need, there was no difference in sound quality, and the G10 was so much quicker and simpler to use.
I actually use a very small spot of velcro both on the guitar and on the back of the transmitter to hold it in place - tried the belt thing but with my IEM pack as well I was getting into a right tangle and thats before looking like something out of the Wild West with dual belt packs...
