Change and Save Tones
How to initialize a Tone
Select Basic Guitar, Bass, or Vocal Tone from the Tone menu at the top left of the GearBox program's window to call up a Tone we've included as a basic starting place for use when you're creating your own Tones (hence the name "Basic Tone").
All the effects have basic sounds programmed so they're ready to go if you turn them on. This Tone is, of course, completely customizable by you, so you can turn it into whatever you want.
Saving the Basic Tone - Once you've made alterations to this basic Tone, you can then choose Save Tone from GearBox's File menu if you'd like to have your changes replace the Basic Tone. Or...
Save As - Choose Save Tone As from GearBox's File menu if you'd like to leave the Basic Tone as it was, and save the new setting you've created as a new Tone. You'll then be given a dialog to name the Tone, and provide additional information to categorize the Tone if you like.
