Line 6 GearBox 3.1 – Basic Features Guide

ToneDirectTM and your Line 6 Hardware as the preferred Audio Interface/Sound Card

If you choose your Line 6 hardware as the preferred sound card for your audio setup, you get the benefits of ToneDirect™ monitoring automatically when running the GearBox application for tone control. This is standard operation when GearBox is acting as a tone front end for recording or jamming.

PODxt/Live/Pro users: All Tone processing is performed internally on the PODxt device, saving CPU resources and providing even better feel and responsiveness for recording!

ToneDirectTM Monitoring while recording with GearBox Plug-in

ToneDirect™ is a feature of the GearBox full application, not the GearBox Plug-in, so in order for you to enjoy the feel and responsiveness provided by ToneDirect™, you’ll need to run the GearBox application alongside the GearBox Plug-in. Keep in mind that these 2 applications run independently of each other, so any tone settings you make in the GearBox application will have to be matched in the Plug-in to provide the same results. You can achieve this by making your settings in the GearBox application, saving the tone to your tones folder, and then recalling that tone later when applying the GearBox Plug-in.

Using a 3rd-party Audio Interface with TonePort DI

If you use the GearBox Plug-in with a TonePort DI or a PODxt PRO, you’ll be able to monitor your signal with ToneDirect by following these steps (illustrated on the graphic at the beginning of this Guide):

•Connect the signal source to the input of your Line 6 Hardware.

•Connect the unprocessed dry output of the TonePort DI / PODxt PRO to your Audio Interface. This will be the source you’re running the plug-in on.

•Disable Input Monitoring in your recording application, for the track you’re recording into.

•Connect the processed Analog Outs to your Audio Interface, or alternatively, to a mixer (if you don’t want to connect them to the recording interface, or if your interface does not support input monitoring)

•Launch the GearBox application and monitor the recorded signal thru the Analog Outputs of your Line 6 Hardware, to get the benefits of ToneDirect™ monitoring
