Line 6 GearBox 3.7 – Using Your Line 6 Hardware
2•7
*Note that when using TonePort and the GuitarPort Online membership service within GearBox, the
GuitarPort Online playback audio is never routed to this S/PDIF output. This is necessary to comply with
artist copyright requirements that Line 6 follows for the GuitarPort Online Tracks and artist content.
To sync to an external S/PDIF device, set the UX8 to sync to S/PDIF in the Line 6 Audio-MIDI
Devices application.
Footswitch and Expression Pedal Jacks
You can use up to 2 on/off toggle or momentary footswitches, and 1 expression pedal to remotely
control functions in the GearBox software, such as stomp effects or wah level. You can also configure
footswitches and the expression pedal to send MIDI commands, which can be useful for controlling
your recording software’s transport. To configure footswitch and expression assignments, go to the Line
6 Audio-MIDI Devices application, MIDI tab.
USB 2.0
This, of course, is where you connect the supplied USB cable to TonePort, with the other end going
to one of your computer’s USB 2.0 ports. Note that you should always connect to a separate USB
controller channel from other USB audio or MIDI interfaces to provide TonePort with the full USB
bandwidth. It is also recommended to connect directly into a USB 2.0 port on your computer and not
into a USB hub.
Note - Be sure to always power off or mute your speakers or monitoring setup before connecting/
disconnecting the USB cable between TonePort and your computer, powering your TonePort on/off, as
well as before booting up or shutting down your computer if TonePort is already connected. The best
practice is to always power on your speakers last, and power them off first when connected to other audio
gear to avoid a “pop”.
