Line 6 GearBox 3.1 – Basic Features Guide
• The Format selectors show you the Sample Rate* and Bit Depth that the Line 6
device will is operating at for recording. The Bit Depth for all Line 6 devices is fixed
at 24 bit.
*It is recommended that you do not use the Sample Rate selector in the Mac Audio-MIDI Setup
dialog to set your sample rate when your recording software is running. Typically, your recording
software will offer a Sample Rate option within its own “Preferences” or “Audio Setup” settings.
It is best to configure the Sample Rate within the recording software, and you will see the
device’s sample rate switch automatically to match it.
5d – Volume sliders (audio input):
Sliders 1 and 2 will adjust the level of the Record Send selected above*.
*It is recommended that you use ONLY the GearBox Record Send knob instead of using these
sliders here to set your Record Send Levels for Line 6 devices. Adjusting the sliders in this AMS
dialog may result in unexpected levels if adjusted also in GearBox.
5e – Audio Output:
• The Format selectors show you the Sample Rate* and Bit Depth that the Line 6
device will is operating at for playback. The Bit Depth for all Line 6 devices is fixed
at 24 bit.
*It is recommended that you do not use the Sample Rate selector in the Mac Audio-MIDI Setup
dialog to set your sample rate when your recording software is running. Typically, your recording
software will offer a Sample Rate option within its own “Preferences” or “Audio Setup” settings.
It is best to configure the Sample Rate within the recording software, and you will see the
device’s sample rate switch automatically to match it.
5f – Volume sliders (audio output):
Sliders 1 and 2 will adjust the playback level coming from your Line 6 device*.
*It is recommended that you use the GearBox Out To Monitor controls (or the knobs on your
Line 6 hardware) instead of using these sliders here since you may otherwise end up with two
controls affecting your playback volume, which can get rather confusing.
6 – Sample Rate Converter Active indicator:
TonePort & GuitarPort devices support 44,100 Hz and 48,000 Hz sample rates natively.
However, they will also support 88,200 and 96,000 Hz sample rates by way of an internal
sample rate converter. This indicator lights up to show you when this converter is active, which
can be any time your audio software is requesting a different sample rate than what your device
“natively” supports. See the description for the Mac
Audio-MIDI Setup dialog for more about
Sample Rates.
PODxt devices function at their own “fixed” internal sample rate, therefore, you will see this
Sample Rate Converter indicator lit up all the time.
