Line 6 GearBox 3.7 – GearBox Stand-Alone Application
4•8
In the • PRE position, Send 3-4 taps into the audio path before any processing is applied to the
input source, routing a totally dry signal thru the USB port. This is useful when using plug-ins,
including the GearBox Plug-in, since you can record a pass with a no-compromise, great feeling
tone, without committing any tone shaping to the track (see the ToneDirect™ Monitoring
section for more info).
In the • POST position, Send 3-4 taps into the audio path right after the EQ, and before any post-
effects are applied. With this setting, you can apply some amp or mic preamp modeling to your
signal before routing it to Send 3-4.
In the POST scenario, you can designate the Modulation, Delay and Reverb FX to be either before
or after Send 3-4 to determine if that effect is processed on the Send 3-4 signal or not. For example,
if you set the Delay and a Reverb effects both to “Post”, then they are only processed on the signal
sent to Send 1-2, and Send 3-4 is tapping the signal just before these effects. This makes it possible
to monitor Send 1-2 and hear these effects, but then choose Send 3-4 in your audio application and
actually record the signal without them.
*For TonePort UX8 only – Note that GearBox’s pre/post record send is labeled “11-12”.

Dual-Tone Operation (TonePort UX1/UX2/UX8/KB37)
These TonePort devices are unique in that they give you not one, but two independent Tone paths!
This feature allows you to process two completely independent Tones for two separate inputs at the
same time, such as your guitar plus a microphone, and allows your recording software to record each
in its own separate track.
The “Dual-Tone” inputs are the ones in the
Source Select menu that have the “&” symbol in
the names (e.g. Inst. & Mic 1).
When choosing one of the Dual-Tone input Sources, this displays two distinct Tones within GearBox,
allowing you to tweak each source with its own independent Tone settings. When in this Dual-Tone
mode, GearBox automatically routes Tone 1 to Record Send 1-2, and Tone 2 to Record Send 3-4,
which allows your recording software to record each into separate tracks.
