What is Delay?
Delay is one of the categories of GearBox Effects, and you’ll find several types of Delays in GearBox.
Delay adds a delayed echo of your guitar. A short delay time and low feedback setting will give you a
classic “slapback” delay. Longer delay times give you a distinctly separate echo, and higher feedback
settings increase the number of echoes. For details on each of the Delay controls, move your mouse
over the control and look in the Info Bar at the bottom of the GuitarPort window.
Some Delay effects are modeled after classic gear described in the Model Gallery.

What is a Dual Tone (POD X3)?
One of the main features of the POD X3 devices over the PODxt architecture is that POD X3 is
capable of operating in a “Dual Tone” mode. POD X3 devices have two independent Tone paths built
right in and you can load any existing Tone preset into either the Tone 1 or Tone 2 slot, as well as edit
and create your own individual Tones. Tone 1 is always on, and you can optionally click the Dual Tone
button at the top of GearBox to additionally toggle on Tone 2 to enter Dual Tone mode. Note there
are different configurations for a Dual Tone setting, depending on how you choose to feed the POD X3
physical inputs into these two Tone paths:
Process two completely independent Tones for two separate inputs at the same time, such as
your guitar plus a microphone. We like to refer to this Dual Tone configuration as a tone “Pair”
- or...
Use two completely independent Tones on a single input. This is like running through two amps
at once! We call this a tone “Blend”.
Using the GearBox (or on-board POD X3) Pan, Volume and Mute controls for each Tone 1 and Tone
2, you can customize how you want each Tone fed out to the Left & Right channel outputs and Record
Sends.
