Line 6 GearBox 3.0 – Recording Setup GuideGEARBOX SETTINGS AND RECORDINGOnce you are set up for recording with your Line 6 device, then you probably will want to think aboutwhat to record! GearBox is all about tones, and this is where you go to set up your mic, guitar or basstones that will be recorded into your audio software. For all TonePort, GuitarPort and PODxt devices,you can simply just access the Tone Menu at the top of GearBox and choose any of the Preset Tonesand then tweak them to your taste. TonePort devices also offer a few more options since they offermore input choices and the ability to process two tones at one time.Choosing your GearBox Source for TonePortOnce you have your mic, instrument or line level item(s) plugged into TonePort, click on theSource Select to choose which of these “sources” you want to create a tone for.TonePort UX1/UX2/KB37 Source MenuOptions within this menu provide the ability to create a tone for the Mic, Analog and Guitar/Bassinputs separately, as well as the ability to choose a “Stereo” or “Dual-Tone” source.TonePort UX1 Source Select menu shownhereStereo sources include “Stereo” in the name,and Dual-Tone sources include the “&”symbol in their namesPage 2
Line 6 GearBox 3.0 – Recording Setup GuideNote: TonePort DI, PODxt and GuitarPort only have one physical input and therefore the source selectdisplay will not present in GearBoxChoosing Tones in GearBox with TonePortSince there are different types of Input Sources, to follow are a few guidelines for setting up yourtones for these types of Sources.Single Input SourceWhen a single Input Source is selected, the GearBox displays the last tone preset that was in usefor this Source. You can of course choose any preset from the Tone menu, or customize the toneby selecting your desired amp, preamp and effects models.Stereo Input SourceA Stereo source accepts the inputs from the selected “Stereo” TonePort ins and processes them asone Stereo signal. This means that you still choose and edit one tone setting, just as you do for asingle source, but the tone is applied to both channels, providing a stereo output.Dual-Tone Input SourceIf you select one of the Dual-Tone sources, then you are able to choose a tone independently foreach. For example, if you want to record a performance using an instrument and a mic that areplugged into TonePort’s Guitar/Bass and Mic inputs, you likely want to use separate Guitar Ampand Mic Preamp tones. To edit the separate tone settings, use two buttons that appear at the left ofthe Tones menu – both tones remain audible regardless which tone is displayed:Two tone buttons appear when a DualTone Input Source is in use.Note: TonePortDI, PODxt and GuitarPort only have one physical input and therefore can only operatein Single Tone mode.Setting up Record Sends in GearBoxGearBox offers controls for the Pan and Record for what is routed to the Record Sends. You canthink of these Sends as “virtual” outputs that are internally routed to both your recordingsoftware, and to the Line 6 device’s hardware outs. Your GearBox Tones are automatically routedto these Sends and you use these Send controls to configure the stereo placement, recording levelsent to your audio software, and monitoring level respectively. As mentioned in the earlierTonePort sections, TonePort devices offer an additional Send 3-4, and GearBox will also displayan additional set of Send controls for them when a TonePort is in use.Page 3
Line 6 GearBox 3.0 – Recording Setup GuideThe Monitor VolumeknobPan sliderSend 1-2: 18 dB Boost switchMono switchRecord Level knobRecord knob & 18 Boost switch - The Record knob adjusts the level of the signal routed out toSend 1-2, and directly affects the amplitude of your recorded audio into any software that is set toreceive input from Send 1-2. Additionally, the Boost switch can be activated if the signal needsan additional 18 dB of gain. The rule for recording levels and digital audio is to always avoidclipping, yet keep the level at least above half to capture a nice strong signal. Use these controlsand reference the meters above to adjust this level accordingly. Your audio software likely hasmeters that will reflect this level as well.Mono button – The Mono button will sum the GearBox stereo Tone to Mono (actually, a “dualmono” signal since it is the same mono signal fed to both the Left and Right audio channels of thestereo Send).Pan - The Pan slider adjusts the left/right balance of the signal before it is routed to the Send, andtherefore will affect what levels your recording software receives on the left and right channels.Monitor level - The Monitor knob adjusts the level of the Tone Direct Monitoring signal fed toTonePort’s outs. You can activate the Mute switch to mute the Tone Direct monitoring signalcompletely. These controls do not affect the Record level that is sent to your recording software.This allows you to balance the listening volume of your GearBox tone signal and the playback oftracks coming from your recording software.TonePort Record Send 3-4If you are using GearBox with a TonePort or GuitarPort device, then you can access a set ofcontrols for Send 3-4 by clicking on the Send 3-4 icon in the row above the effects panel display.When GearBox is set to a single input Source (such as “Instrument”) you can set your recordingsoftware to receive the Send 3-4 signal, while you are monitoring the Send 1-2 signal. In thisPage 4
Line 6 GearBox 3.0 – Recording Setup Guideconfiguration, it allows you to record a dry, unprocessed signal while monitoring a fully-GearBoxprocessed tone.This set of Send 3-4 controls are independent of the Send 1-2 controls. Note that by default theSend 3-4 Mute button is engaged – you probably want this Muted when using TonePort in asingle input source configuration, since Send 3-4 then carries the tone without the Post effects andyou likely want to hear the only the Send 1-2 signal with the post effects on it.Send 3-4 is also very useful when you are using a Dual-Tone Input Source in GearBox, sinceeach Tone is routed to a separate Record Send – Tone 1 goes to Send 1-2, and Tone 2 to Send 34. This then allows your recording software to access these two Tones as separate, discretesignals and record those on separate tracks within the same recording take.Connecting the S/PDIF Digital Output from TonePortUX2/GearBox to an external digital deviceTonePort UX2 and PODxt Pro devices also include a S/PDIF digital output, which allows you toconnect to digital devices such as a DAT recorder, Minidisk, another sound card, or most anydevice that offers a S/PDIF format digital input. PODxt Pro also includes an AES/EBU digitalout, which can be used to connect to hardware that offers this type of digital input as well.Connecting digitally is the preferred method to connect to external devices since it does notrequire the added digital-to-analog-to-digital signal conversion process as required with usinganalog outs.Digital clock settings - When connecting to a digital device in this manner, one device needs tosync to the “digital clock” of the other, and preferably both should also operate at the samesample rate. To configure this correctly, you’ll need to look for a “clock” setting on the digitaldevice you are connecting to and set it to “External” or “S/PDIF” so that it follows the digitalclock of your TonePort rather than its own internal clock. If you are connecting to the S/PDIFinput of another sound card, this can be either a hardware switch on the unit, or an option foundin the software control panel for the device. As an example, when connecting TonePort UX2digitally to a Digidesign Mbox for recording in Pro Tools LE, you access the Mbox clock settingswithin the Pro Tools Hardware Setup dialog:Page 5
Line 6 GearBox 3.0 – Recording Setup GuideSetting the Digidesign Mbox to“follow” the TonePort S/PDIFclock and receive S/PDIFdigital input for recordingSample rate - Since TonePort UX2 is acting as the “master” clock device in this scenario, youshould also manually set the desired sample rate for TonePort, so that the sample rate matches theone set on the external device. This is done in the Format options within the Audio MIDI Setupdialog. You will want to choose 44100 Hz or 48000 Hz.For PODxt Pro, you need to access the Sample Rate setting on the PODxt hardware itself. Pressthe “I/O & Dig Select” button on the front panel of PODxt Pro to bring these settings up on itsdisplay.Setting output levels for the S/PDIF output - The S/PDIF output of TonePort UX2 and PODxtalways receives the same GearBox audio content as is heard at the Analog Out and Headphoneout, (with the exception that any audio coming into the TonePort’s Monitor In jack is not routedto the S/PDIF output). When devices are connected digitally, typically the receiving device doesnot include a level control to adjust the level at input. Therefore, you’ll want to set the level fromthe GearBox software, if necessary, to optimize your recording level. The GearBox Monitor knobcontrols the level going out of S/PDIF output. You’ll want to keep this level as high as possible,without clipping, for the best fidelity. Note that the GearBox Mute button also mutes the S/PDIFoutput.Other considerations when using S/PDIF or AES/EBU output Some digital devices may only support one sample rate (some DAT and video machinesare fixed at 48 kHz for example), so you will want to be sure to choose a sample ratesupported by both units. When TonePort UX2 and PODxt Pro are operating in its 96 kHz “compatible” samplerate mode, it sends data out the S/PDIF at 48 kHz. The S/PDIF output is always sent as24 bit.Page 6
Line 6 GearBox 3.0 – Recording Setup Guide Remember that if you are connecting your TonePort UX2 or PODxt Pro digital output toanother sound card, you are not limited to the other sound card being on the samecomputer. You can use GearBox and the Line 6 device as your “Tone Machine” andthen send the fully baked Tone digitally to a completely different setup for recording! For more specifics on PODxt Pro’s digital input and output operation, please see thePODxt Pilot’s Handbook.Page 7

Launch the Mac OS X System Preferences dialog to make the following settings.System Sounds and AlertsWhen using TonePort, you likely will not want to hear these sounds, and you certainly don’t wantto end up recording them by mistake! You can adjust the volume independently for these systemsounds and alerts by going to the Sound page.Choose Sound in theSystem PreferencesdialogIn the Sound Effects page,adjust the Alert volumeslider down, and uncheckthe Play user interfacesound effects checkboxEnergy SettingsIt is also a good idea to configure your Energy settings so that critical computer components donot go to “sleep” or run at less than fullPage 8

The Windows default sound playback device is also what gets used for theWindows Media Player application, which can play your CD’s, DVD’s and multimedia downloadsfrom the Internet. Additionally, many other multimedia programs such as WinAmp , RealPlayer ,iTunes etc., will automatically set themselves to use the Windows default device as well. YourLine 6 device can be set to be this default device if you want to utilize its high quality audio forplaying your CD’s or DVD’s, for example.Click on your Start button and go to Settings Control Panel Sounds and Audio Devices Audio tab.

Harmonic gearbox have smaller backlash but a very high price, while a planetary gearbox have a higher load carrying capacity, a better coefficient of efficiency and a significantly lower price, all for the same overall dimensions. Because of this, it would be reasonable to use a planetary gearbox instead of a harmonic gearbox. Figure 5.
