Mine's been fine, but have heard of people having issues
I've just received a custom made Heistercamp Guitar Strap, modded to hold a Smooth Hound - had a chat with them at the Birmingham Guitar Show, and lent them my transmitter, so that the Strap could be modded accurately. It arrived yesterday, and they've done an excellent job for me.
Mine will flip open easily on its own at any time it feels like doing it. It happened during a gig once. Ever since that day I have a cable tie around it and just slide it up out of the way to open the battery door...and slide it back down to secure it closed. So easily fix for a simple but annoying flaw. In fact I'm still on the very same cable tie - its going strong around 3yrs on! Other than that I can not fault the G30 at all.
Basically, find something to keep it closed. Some use Velcro, or cable ties.
I favour rubber bands cos the postman leaves them for me.
I did a super short vid on YouTube for the benefit of any Americans who didn't know how to wrap an elastic band around something, just YT "Line 6 G30 battery solution", and well, yeah, it's an elastic band. But it works.
Without doubt the battery compartment was designed by some kid on a YTS scheme, and some fecking moron at Line 6 approved it cos it saved 2p a unit
however....
it's only a few dumb rubber bands to totally solve the only problem with the G30
Solve the battery door and you're totally sorted. The rest of the unit is 100% reliable.
^^and buying used is a lot less that £170.
soem people swear by a thick elastic band
Faultless performance and good battery life
I also went the velcro option to hold it in place but would probably stick it on my belt if I had a short guitar lead.
Nice to support a British business too
