Line 6 GearBox 3.1 – Basic Features Guide

All GearBox's Delay and Mod Effects (except for Rotary Drum + Horn) allow you to set their time/speed two ways. One way is to turn their speed or time knob. The other way is to choose a tempo.

You choose a tempo one of two ways. You can type into the TEMPO field shown for these effects. Or you can select a note value from the button to the left of their FX TEMPO display, then click a few times on the TAP button to set tempo to match the tempo of the music you're working on.

The most common use of tap tempo is to set the note value to a quarter note (as shown above), tap along with the song you're recording, and enjoy GearBox's Delay and/or Mod Effect as it pulses in quarter note time to match your song. You can also choose other notes values — U2's guitarist, The Edge, is fond of using dotted-eighth note delays.

GearBox uses one tempo for both the Mod and Delay effects, so when you set it with one, it will also be used by the other. Choose (OFF) from the button to the left of the tempo display if you'd like Delay or Mod to ignore the tempo. Mod and Delay can have different note values, so for instance your delays could be dotted-eighth notes while your tremolo pulses along in quarter note time.

What is a Tone?

A Tone is a saved setting for all controls that affect the processed sound applied to TonePort inputs.

Tones stored on your computer are accessed from the Tones menu at the top left of the GearBox window. Some Basic Tones and a folder of Preset Tones are available in this menu. The menu also has a User folder ready to store any new Tones that you save.
