The GearBox 3.7 software is designed to work with all Line 6 TonePort, GuitarPort, POD X3, and
PODxt hardware. Your Line 6 device, since it connects to your computer via USB and utilizes the
high-performance Line 6 Audio & MIDI drivers, is easily configured to work as your computer’s sound
card. This means that you can access all your Tones coming out of GearBox directly from most any
audio recording application, all at the highest quality! But you are, of course, not just limited to
using your Line 6 hardware with your computer. The outputs provided on the back of your device
additionally allow you to feed your GearBox signal to external tape machines, DAT recorders, PA
systems, or whatever else will accept an analog line level signal. Additionally, TonePort UX2, UX8,
POD X3, POD X3 Live and PODxt Pro devices include a digital S/PDIF output to allow you to make
these connections digitally!
There are some differences in the setup and functionality between the supported Line 6 devices,
so be sure to look for the instructions in the following sections for your specific device. Primarily,
TonePort and GuitarPort devices function quite similarly since all the Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
is performed on your computer when using these units. POD X3 & PODxt devices do all their DSP
magic inside the POD hardware itself. Using the GearBox software is pretty similar for all these devices
once you have everything setup. You can use the handy links here to jump directly to the section on
your Line 6 device...

Mic - To input a signal from a microphone, connect it here using an XLR cable. This inputs the
microphone signal into GearBox where you can choose your tone, and then route the processed signal
both to your audio software and out the TonePort outputs.
Guitar/Bass - To input your electric guitar or bass, plug it in here using a standard 1/4-inch TS
instrument cable. This inputs the instrument’s signal into GearBox where you can then choose your
tone and route the processed signal both to your audio software and out the TonePort outputs.
