Line 6 GearBox 3.1 – Basic Features Guide
PODxt includes MIDI connectors that allow you to connect a MIDI controller (for instance, a
controller pedal) directly to it to select channel memories, operate wah and volume, or control
other Tone parameters, all of which can also be done using a Line 6 FBV family foot controller.
More information on those is available at
www.line6.com/podxt , and in your PODxt Pilot's
Handbook.
A MIDI pedal or other MIDI controller can also be used with TonePort or GuitarPort hardware to
operate the GearBox Wah and Volume, as well as any other Tone parameter. Connect the MIDI
pedal or other MIDI controller hardware to a MIDI input jack on your computer's hardware MIDI
interface, then select that MIDI input port in the MIDI tab of the GearBox application Preferences
> MIDI tab. Remember that you will also have to configure the MIDI hardware to send the right
MIDI controller messages, which are listed below. For example, the Wah's Position knob is
associated with MIDI CC #4. When CC #4 messages are received by the GearBox software, the
Wah's Position knob moves accordingly, and you'll hear your guitar Tone change just the way it
would if a wah pedal was being used. Please see the
MIDI Continuous Controller Reference
document for more details on MIDI connectivity and how to map MIDI hardware to specific
GearBox parameters.
MIDI Channel
When TonePort or GuitarPort hardware is used, the GearBox software always sends MIDI
messages on Channel 1 and responds to messages on any channel. PODxt users, please see your
PODxt Pilot's Handbook to learn how to set your PODxt's MIDI Channel to match your other
MIDI hardware and software.
