Hey,
I'm not sure if this post belongs here, but I've seen lots of X2s on pedal boards in this section.
I just bought a X2 s95 off criagslist. It came with the stompbox receiver, the transmitter, just no cable that goes from instrument to transmitter. I figured it wouldn't be a problem since I was planning on buying a higher quality cable anyways...
When I was playing around with it earlier, both units power up and scroll though channels as they should, HOWEVER, they do not stay set one one channel. Do I need to have an instrument plugged into the transmitter for it to stay set on one channel?
Thanks!!

If it's the stompbox, it's possible that something's wrong -- the rackmount version I have doesn't do that, but the stomp might be a little different. |

hope that helps, its a wonderful unit and I absolutely love mine.

Can you describe EXACTLY what each LED pattern (and color) you see on each receiver? And let us know which channel you set it to.

For example, After the power on display, it flashes blue on the channel it's set on, displays a red dot to indicate the battery level, then chases up and down blue. It repeats this over and over.

If I connect the body pack to my instrument, will this problem be solved?
