Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your THR30IIA amplifier, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior of the amplifier. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or waxes, as these can damage the finish.

- No Sound: Verify that your instrument or microphone is properly connected and the volume knobs (GUITAR, MIC/INST, Master) are turned up. Check the cable connections.
- Wireless Issues: Ensure the Line 6 Relay G10T transmitter is charged and properly paired with the amplifier. Check for interference from other wireless devices.
- App Connectivity Problems: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the THR Remote Editor app is updated to the latest version. Restart both the amplifier and your device if connection issues persist.
