Line 6 GearBox 3.1 – Basic Features Guide

Flanger is one of the GearBox Mod Effects. Flanger is most famously known as the "jet-plane" whoosh effect of several classic 70s recordings. It can also be used to give a "swooshy" or "swept" sound to guitar, or just to create a "bigger" sound. Eddie Van Halen, for instance, used flanger effects as an important part of his signature sound on many classic Van Halen recordings. For details on each of the Flanger controls, move your mouse over the control and look in the Info Bar at the bottom of the GearBox window.

What is Gate?

The Gate effect included in GearBox is designed to reduce the noise that your guitar makes when you are not playing. You can think of it as a gate that opens to let your guitar sound through when you play, and closes when you stop playing to shut out the noise you would otherwise hear after you stop playing.

The Gate works by detecting the input level to GearBox from your guitar. When the input level is below the level set for the gate's Threshold knob, the gate will close at the speed set by the Gate's Decay knob, and cut off the signal from your guitar. When the input level is above the threshold, the gate will open to let your guitar signal through. Turning the Threshold knob clockwise increases the aggressiveness of the gate in its effort to cut off sound. The idea is to set the threshold low enough so that it doesn't cut off the signal as you are playing or a note is sustaining, but high enough so that the background noise from your guitar doesn't keep the gate open. You'll need to select the Gate setting that works best with the Amp Model you've chosen as well as the guitar(s) and pickups you happen to be using with GearBox. (The Hum Reducer eliminates noise in another way.)
