Line 6 GearBox 3.6 – Using Your Line 6 Hardware
2•1
USing YoUr Line 6 Hardware
The GearBox 3.6 software is designed to work with your Line 6 TonePort GX, DI, UX1, UX2, UX8,
KB37, GuitarPort, POD X3, POD X3 Live, PODxt, PODxt Live or PODxt Pro hardware. Your Line
6 device, since it connects to your computer via USB and utilizes the high-performance Line 6 Audio
& MIDI drivers, is easily configured to work as your computer’s sound card. This means that you can
access all your Tones coming out of GearBox directly from most any audio recording application, all at
the highest quality! But you are of course not just limited to using your Line 6 hardware to record into
your computer – the outputs provided on the back of your device additionally allow you to feed your
GearBox signal to external tape machines, DAT recorders, PA systems, or whatever else will accept an
analog line level signal. Additionally, TonePort UX2, UX8, POD X3, POD X3 Live and PODxt Pro
devices include a digital S/PDIF output to allow you to make these connections digitally!
There are some differences in the setup and functionality between the supported Line 6 devices,
so be sure to look for the instructions in the following sections for your specific device. Primarily,
TonePort and GuitarPort devices function quite similarly since all the Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
is performed on your computer when using these units. POD X3 & PODxt devices do all their DSP
magic inside the POD itself. Using the GearBox software is pretty similar for all these devices once
you have everything setup. You can use the handy links here to jump directly to the section on your
Line 6 device...

microphone signal into GearBox where you can choose your tone, and then route the processed signal
both to your audio software and out the TonePort outputs.
