Line 6 GearBox 3.1 – Basic Features Guide

Please note that the pre/post setting of Record Send 3-4 is not saved within the Tone Preset.

Note – if your audio application is configured to use the TonePort WDM driver (on Windows®), you will only be able to access Send 1-2 in the recording software, and it will carry both GearBox Send 1-2 and 3-4 signal paths, pre-mixed into Send 1-2.

Monitoring a GearBox-processed tone while recording “Dry”

With GearBox Send 3-4, you can send a dry, unprocessed signal to your favorite recording application, while monitoring a fully GearBox-processed tone thru your hardware’s outputs. The Send’s Pre/Post switch gives you a couple of options:

•In the PRE position, Send 3-4 taps into the audio path before any processing is applied to the input source, routing a totally dry signal thru the USB port. This of course is useful when using plug-ins, including the GearBox Plug-in, since you can record a pass with a no- compromise, great feeling tone, without committing any tone shaping to the track (see the ToneDirect Monitoring section for more info).

•In the POST position, Send 3-4 taps into the audio path right after the EQ, and before any post-FX are applied. With this setting, you can apply some amp or mic preamp modeling to your signal before routing it to Send 3-4.

In the POST scenario, you can designate the Modulation, Delay and Reverb FX to be either before or after Send 3-4 to determine if that effect is processed on the Send 3-4 signal or not. For example, if you move set a Delay and a Reverb effect both to “Post”, then they are only processed on the signal sent to Send 1-2, and Send 3-4 is tapping the signal just before these effects. This makes it possible to monitor Send 1-2 and hear these effects, but then choose Send 3-4 in your audio application and actually record the signal without them.
