Line 6 GearBox 3.1 – Basic Features Guide

Your Line 6 USB audio device is one of the best-sounding USB bus-powered devices in the world, so if you do use it as your preferred audio device, you'll get no-compromise sound quality. However, on some systems you will lose some sound capabilities if your Line 6 device is the preferred audio device:

•If your soundcard provides surround sound via multiple speakers, this would also be a feature that you would lose by making your Line 6 hardware your preferred audio device.

•Some sound cards also have synthesizer chips onboard that feed audio directly out of the card without the computer "seeing" it, so these sounds might also not be available to you if you were using your Line 6 device as the preferred audio device. If your soundcard has one of these, you could get around this by connecting the audio output from your computer to the Monitor In jack on the back of your Line 6 device.

•Some computers have the audio output of their internal CD drive connected to the internal sound card via a direct analog connection, so the audio from the CD drive is never "seen" by the computer as the CD plays. If your computer is set up this way, making your Line 6 device your preferred audio device would mean you could not use the computer's CD to play audio CDs via WinAmp or other programs. However, you do sometimes get an alternative to enable digital playback of the CD. This can be accessed on some Windows® systems by right clicking on the "My Computer" icon on your desktop and choosing Properties. You will then see a tab named Device Manager. Select your CD here and navigate to an option to enable digital audio playback of the CD (if this option is provided), and you will now be able to playback audio from your computer's CD drive in any program, and hear it coming out of your Line 6 device. If your CD doesn't support digital playback, you could also get around this by connecting the audio output from your computer to the Monitor In (or Aux In) jack of your Line 6 device.

What is Re-Amping

Re-amping is the process by which you can record a completely dry unprocessed signal to your digital recorder/computer, while monitoring an amp/fx processed tone. This process allows you to record a dry track so that you can adjust the tone and effects on playback, in a non-destructive manner. The PODxt family of products features digital re-amping thru the USB output, and this process is covered in detail in this section.
