Line 6 GearBox 3.1 – Basic Features Guide
What is the Bypass button?
The Bypass button will bypass ALL the GearBox processing of your input signal. The monitor signal you hear will then be rather “naked”, as well as the signal routed to your Record Sends. Engaging the Bypass button reduces the CPU load of your computer as well since it turns off all signal processing tasks. You’ll see the GearBox interface “gray out” to indicate this when the Bypass button is engaged:
Note, for PODxt, the Bypass button functions as an Amp Bypass only, where only the amplifier processing is bypassed, and any effects that are active are still applied to the input signal by your PODxt.

What is Chorus?
Chorus is one kind of Mod (modulation) Effect. It is generally used to give a "lush" or "swimmy" sound to guitar. Andy Summers of the Police, for instance, made chorus an important part of his signature sound. For details on each of the Chorus controls, move your mouse over the control and look in the Info Bar at the bottom of the GearBox window.
Some effects are modeled after classic gear described in the Model Gallery.
