All the effects have basic sounds programmed so they’re ready to go if you turn them on. This Tone can
be, of course, completely customized by you, so you can turn it into whatever you want.
Saving the Basic Tone - Once you’ve made alterations to this basic Tone, you can then choose Save
Tone from GearBox’s File menu if you’d like to have your changes replace the Basic Tone. Or...
Save As - Choose Save Tone As from GearBox’s File menu if you’d like to leave the Basic Tone as
it was, and save the new setting you’ve created as a new Tone. You’ll then be given a dialog to name
the Tone, and provide additional information to categorize the Tone if you like.

How to Save a Dual Tone (POD X3)
When GearBox is configured for POD X3/X3 Live/X3 Pro, you’ll have a specific set of “Dual Tone”
commands in the GearBox File menu. Use the Save As command here to save the complete current
Channel settings as a Dual Tone preset file onto your computer.
Note – Note that these Dual Tone type files are only able to be opened in GearBox when set for a
POD X3 family device. If you want to be able to open a Tone with another Line 6 device, use the
Tone 1 or Tone 2 Save As command to save either of these Tones’ settings as a “Single Tone” preset
file. Check out the full info about saving POD X3 Tones in the GearBox with POD X3 chapter
