Hello folks,

I have a couple of acoustic guitars with piezo pickups. I've tried on of them into my Scarlett 18i8 via my Line 6 G10 wirels and it doesn't work, the output on the guitar does work with a cable direct though.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Phil

Have you tried the acoustic wireless into an amp?

Nope, doesn't work into an amp.

Must be the way Piezos are wired https://line6.com/support/page/kb/wireless/...ectronics-r817/

I tired an adaptor as it says in the attachment on that web page linked above but no change. The light is flashing on the transmitter when it's plugged in.

Troubleshooting procedure:

Power the receiver with a USB power source.
Insert the transmitter into the receiver (this will ensure that the transmitter and the receiver are set to the same channel). The LED on the transmitter should be Green or Green flashing. (If it is red flashing, the transmitter needs charging. Leave it in the receiver until the LED turns steady green. That indicates it is fully charged.)
Insert the transmitter into the instrument's jack, turn up the volume control and play.
If audio is not being transmitted to the receiver:


A. The problem is mechanical if the LED on the transmitter is OFF when plugged into an instrument.


B. The problem is electrical if the LED on the transmitter is ON, or FLASHING when plugged into an instrument


I can still do what I want to which is record using a mic and direct by using a cable instead of wireless.

Cheers

Sorry to hear it's not working. Back to cable for the acoustic it seems. The good news is you've been getting great stuff with the mic!

Yeah I know, I'm still going to experiment with recording using the mic and cable at the same time and blend the two with slight left /right panning. Just for some experience wink.gif

Cheers
