Line 6 GearBox 3.6 – GearBox with POD X3

5•1

gearBox Stand-aLone aPPLication - Pod x3

POD X3 and POD X3 Live are the newest additions to the Line 6 USB device family, and X3 is the

most powerful POD model yet! POD X3 devices are capable of processing two completely independent

Tones and, therefore, offer many new options within GearBox 3.6 for signal routing, Dual Tone presets,

Pedal Control, Hardware Memory management and more. One fundamental difference between

POD X3 devices as compared to TonePort & GuitarPort hardware is that POD X3 units have their

own onboard DSP processing and memory. You can think of the GearBox software as an elaborate

computer “user interface” for what is running on your POD X3 device, thus allowing you to twiddle

knobs and buttons on your computer and remotely control your POD X3 easily. With POD X3, the

processing used to apply all those juicy amp, cab and effects models to your Tone doesn’t need to

run on your computer’s processor, which leaves you with more reserve processing power for other

things, like running recording software and more complex sessions. Just as with all other Line 6 USB

devices, with POD X3 and GearBox you have access to Add-Ons such as GuitarPort Online and the

GearBox Plug-In, as well as access to the free online Tone Library and high performance audio drivers

for recording directly into your favorite Mac

and Windows

audio recording applications! POD X3

Live additionally includes a switchable Effects Loop and direct input for the Line 6 Variax Modeling

Guitar - both of which can be accessed in GearBox. So read on to experience the power of POD X3

and GearBox, if you think you can handle it...

GearBox Controls and Operation with POD X3

As mentioned earlier, it is easiest to think of GearBox as a User Interface for all the features that

already exist on your POD X3 or POD X3 Live. To follow is a tour of the GearBox interface - note that

you can ﬁnd even more detail about each of the POD X3 functions in your POD X3 Pilot’s Handbook.
