You probably know by now that we’re relentless tone fanatics here at Line 6. Once we’ve set our sights
on creating a software emulation of a particular piece of gear, we go to great lengths to be sure that
we’ve gotten our hands on the very best example of an amp, preamp, effect or speaker cabinet that we
can find to study. We will (and have) scoured the globe in search of just the right specimen — that
one, very particular piece of “holy grail” gear that has the magic. In fact, we pride ourselves on hand
selecting each and every one of the amps, effect, preamps and speaker cabinets that we studied to
create the software models in GearBox and all of Line 6’s other products. The result is an extensive line
up of Models, some completely original to Line 6, some based on well loved classics.
To follow is the list of amp, cab and FX models that are included as “Factory-Standard*” models for
TonePort & GuitarPort devices. For the breakdown of the Factory-Standard Models for each Line 6
device, please see the Model List section in this document. For descriptions of the Factory-Standard
Models included in POD X3 and PODxt family devices, please refer to your

* Factory-Standard Models are those that are included as permanently installed models on a Line 6
device. These models cannot be transferred to other Line 6 devices. However, it is possible to transfer
the License Key that you are granted for any Add-On Model Packs that you purchase separately
between any supporting Line 6 device that you own by using Line 6 Monkey. Please visit the Line 6
Online Support pages for more about Transferring License Keys.

Line 6 Chemical X
Just like those secret ingredients that detergent companies used to crow about (Now! Contains
Ingredient X-27!) The Line 6 Sound Design guys wouldn’t tell us anything about what the inspiration
for this one was or who it might have belonged to (no matter what type of bribery we attempted).
Suffice to say that it’s a very punchy hi-gain sound that also cleans up quite nicely when you roll your
volume back.
Line 6 Insane
Our goal here was to provide you with as much input gain distortion as possible short of complete
meltdown. You get ridiculous, rich tube drive to shame the distortion of pretty much any amp on the
planet while still retaining tonal definition and character. As a result, you get way lots of bottom end
and cabinet character with tons of wide-ranging tone shaping. Crank up the Drive control and take
no prisoners!
Line 6 Piezacoustic 2
This one is designed to work with the piezo output of solid body electrics that have one of those
newfangled bridges with the ‘acoustic’ pickup built in. Since you don’t have to worry about the body
shaking itself to pieces with feedback on that type of guitar, we’ve cooked up this model with more
low-mids and low frequencies.
