Line 6 GearBox 3.1 – Basic Features Guide

Using a 3

rd

-party Audio Interface with other Line 6 Hardware

If you own different Line 6 Hardware, you’ll need to purchase a guitar/signal splitter, which
will afford you the unprocessed dry output needed to feed your Audio Interface.

Connect your recording source to the splitter input.
Connect Output A from the splitter to your audio interface. This will be the source to run the

GearBox plug-in on.

Choose this channel as the track input in your recording application, and disable input

monitoring for that track.

Connect Output B from the splitter to your Line 6 Hardware, the outputs of which will be

connected to your audio interface, or a mixer (if you don’t want to connect to your audio
interface, or if your interface does not support input monitoring).

• Launch the GearBox application, and monitor the GearBox processed signal thru your

hardware’s Line Outputs. These outputs supply the ToneDirect™ Monitoring magic.

Mac® Users: There’s yet another option for you!

The Mac Core Audio driver features the ability to combine the inputs from 2 separate audio
interfaces into one aggregate device (for more info on this, please refer to the Recording Setup
Guide available in the

Online Help

page). Perform the following steps:

Combine your Audio Interface and your Line 6 hardware into one aggregate device.
Connect the recording source to your Line 6 hardware
• Make sure that your hardware is sending an unprocessed signal thru USB. Choose this

signal as the input for the track you’re recording into. This track will receive the GearBox
plug-in.

Disable Input Monitoring for the track you’re recording into.
• Launch the GearBox application, and monitor the GearBox processed signal thru your

hardware’s Line Outputs. These outputs supply the ToneDirect™ Monitoring magic.

Using Line 6 Hardware as your Audio Interface
