About Line 6 Hardware & Software

BeforeYou Get Started

OK, you’ve got your guitar, a computer and a head full of songs and cool licks, so how do you get this all going? You’re just a few steps away from turning your computer into a serious tone, jamming and recording machine. First, here is some valuable information to ensure you have all the latest and greatest updates….

System Requirements and Installation

GearBox 3.7 is compatible with Mac® OS X® 10.4 (Tiger) and 10.5 (Leopard) as well as Windows® XP® SP2 (and later) and Windows® Vista® (32 Bit and 64 Bit) systems*. If you need to check the specific system requirements or need some assistance with installing GearBox on your computer, please refer to the additional documents for GearBox version 3.7 located on the GearBox - User Manuals page of the Line 6 web site. We’re committed to continually improving the Line 6 software and drivers, so it is highly recommended that you always check to see if an even newer version of GearBox is available for your system! We’ve made it even simple enough for a drummer to find the latest updates, optional add-ons and other software products using our nifty Line 6 Monkey updater software - read all about it a few lines down in the Line 6 Monkey section.

*Note to Mac® OS X® Leopard and Windows® Vista® users... GearBox, GearBox Plug-In, Line 6 Monkey and Line 6 USB audio drivers are designed to be compatible with these newer Operating Systems, but support testing is ongoing. Please refer to the dedicated Line 6 Public Beta forums for Leopard and Vista for the latest news and known issues.

Windows® 64 Bit Support

If you have a 64 bit Windows PC, then no worries! GearBox 3.7 and the included Line 6 USB hardware drivers do indeed support Windows® XP® x64 and Windows® Vista® 64-Bit systems. Note that GearBox

3.7(as well as the GearBox Plug-in) still runs as a 32 bit application, but has been made compatible to run on these Windows 64 bit operating systems. If you need to check the specific system requirements or need some assistance with installing GearBox on your computer, please refer to the additional documents for GearBox version 3.7 located on the GearBox - User Manuals page of the Line 6 web site.

Updating & Registering with Line 6 Monkey

Line 6 Monkey is the intelligent updater utility that is automatically installed with your GearBox application. You are prompted to run Line 6 Monkey at the end of your GearBox installation, but it’s a great idea to do this often so you can be sure you have all the latest updates for all your Line 6 software and hardware products. Registering your Line 6 hardware is also very important because it ensures that you’re dialed in for warranty service and makes it possible for us to contact you if new software versions or other cool enhancements are offered - cutting edge technology and such! So don’t put this off any longer. Connect your Line 6 hardware to your computer and follow these steps to launch Line 6 Monkey...
