Line 6 GearBox 3.1 – Basic Features Guide

Line 6 Flanger

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 and other sources, 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, including "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" and much of the Van Halen I album. 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. The Line 6 Flanger really shines when you set CONFIG to POST, letting the stereo sweep offset serve up luscious harmonic shimmer.

Phaser

GearBox's Phaser is based on* the MXR® Phase 90 — the guitar stomp box phaser that changed the world. The Phase 90 is relatively subtle compared to other phasers, and when you use it, it becomes part of the overall guitar tone rather than trying to grab the spotlight all to itself. Its lush, organic, and groovy swirl can be heard all over the first two Van Halen albums, as well as Jimmy Page's work on Physical Graffiti. The Phase 90 is a four stage phaser; its single knob controlled only speed. GearBox's Phaser gives you additional flexibility with MIX and FEEDBACK controls to adjust the intensity of the effect.

U-Vibe

The U-Vibe model is based on* the now- legendary Uni-Vibe, which was put on the map in 1969 by Jimi Hendrix. Essentially a four-stage phase shifter, the Uni-Vibe is best known for its watery texture and sultry tones. One listen to "Machine Gun" and you'll know what we mean. You can recreate the effect of the original Uni- Vibe's vibrato switch by turning the MIX control to 100% wet. (That's what the switch did on the original.) The DEPTH control acts like the Uni- Vibe's "Intensity" knob.
