Line 6 GearBox 3.7 – UsingYour Line 6 Hardware
Connect your USB cable from your computer’s USB port*
Connect up to two standard toggle or momentary pedal switches into the Footswitches jacks for remote control of GearBox and audio application functions
Connect any line level input source that you want to record into the Line Inputs
*Note - Be sure to always power off or mute your speakers or monitoring setup before connecting and disconnecting the USB cable between TonePort and your computer, as well as before booting up or shutting down your computer if TonePort is already connected. The best practice is to always power on your speakers last, and power them off first when connected to other audio gear to avoid a “pop”.

S/PDIF Digital Out - To send the output of TonePort to an external device digitally, connect a 75- Ohm coaxial cable into this RCA jack and then into the S/PDIF digital input on the external device. This is the best choice for connecting to digital recording devices, such as a DAT recorder. This S/ PDIF output sends the same audio as is sent to TonePort’s Analog Outs* (with the exception that any audio coming into the TonePort’s Monitor In jack is not routed to the S/PDIF output). The digital signal is always sent at
