This chapter offers a tour of the GearBox interface when in use with a Line 6 TonePort, GuitarPort or
PODxt family device in use.
POD X3 & POD X3 Live owners - please skip to the following GearBox with POD X3 chapter for
the full GearBox Stand-Alone Application information with your device.
Note that the GearBox interface includes different options depending on your specific Line 6 hardware.
In this chapter, we’ll describe the GearBox interface with a TonePort UX2 connected - features are
very similar for all TonePort, GuitarPort & PODxt units, and we’ve called out where things differ for
each specific device type. If you are using a PODxt, PODxt Live & PODxt Pro device, please also be
sure to check out the GearBox with PODxt section for additional, PODxt-specific GearBox controls.
Overview
The GearBox software is free for every owner of the Line 6 TonePort, GuitarPort, POD X3 and PODxt
recording and modeling interfaces and is your new Tone Control Central! It gives you visual control,
makes it easy to create, edit and save your Tones, includes plenty of great presets, and connects you
directly to our exclusive online Tone Library of thousands of professionally programmed Tones.
GearBox can run alongside your favorite recording software, letting you easily control every detail
of your sound right from your computer during recording, and our additional GearBox Online Help
