Line 6 GearBox 3.1 – Basic Features Guide
 
 
•  "Bonus" Knobs – Some Amp Models also have additional tone controls that weren't on the 
original amp that was studied to create the model. These knobs are shown on a "display" at 
the right side of the Amp Panel, like Bass, Treble and Presence on the Small Tweed panel 
above. 
 
Point your mouse at any of these controls and look in the Info Bar at the bottom of the GuitarPort 
window to see a description of the control and its use, then give it a spin and try it out! 
 
The selection of Amp, Cab and Effect Models, as well as the setting of all the amp and effect 
controls are saved when you save a Tone. Selecting a Tone from the Tone menu at the top left of 
the GearBox window will set all these controls to match the settings that were saved for that 
Tone. 
 
 
 
 
What is ASIO®? 
ASIO® is a protocol for computer audio that allows audio software to communicate with audio 
hardware. It is a feature available on many recording programs, which use ASIO® to 
communicate with a soundcard or other audio device. Line 6 TonePort, GuitarPort and PODxt 
devices come with ASIO® drivers for Windows® - these drivers are installed when you run the 
GearBox application installer, or can be downloaded individually from the Line 6 Support - 
 
ASIO® was designed with the assumption that a single soundcard would provide input and 
output to the computer. When you choose to use ASIO® with TonePort, GuitarPort or PODxt 
hardware, it will act as that single soundcard. Your guitar (or whatever you are plugging into your 
Line 6 hardware’s input) will feed into your computer through your Line 6 hardware, and your 
recording program will play back through this hardware’s outputs, not through other soundcards 
outputs on your computer.  
 
ASIO® also provides better performance on Windows® systems since it allows the input signal 
that is fed into the soundcard travel through the computer, your audio software, and back out the 
soundcard outputs in a very short amount of time. This is what is referred to as “low latency” 
operation. Please see your Windows® recording program's instructions for details on ASIO® 
operation. 
 
Note - Line 6 hardware utilizes ASIO® drivers for Windows® systems only. For Mac® 
computers, Line 6 hardware uses the 
 driver, which also offers low latency operation, 
and is the driver format compatible with most popular Mac® audio software.
