Hardware Unit
We don’t recommend hooking a TonePort or GuitarPort
to the input of a guitar amp. Still want to attempt this?
Want to hear your computer’s internal soundcard and
GearBox sound through the same set of speakers?
Add plug-in operation to your GearBox setup to
enjoy the same Models you already own — including
any Model Packs you’ve added on — now operating
in GearBox Plug-In mode! It’s all just a click away:
Optional ToneDirect™ Monitoring:
For no-compromise feel & responsiveness during
recording, you can send unprocessed audio to
your recording program, but monitor it instantly
through the TonePort DI’s analog outputs.
To enjoy it, connect audio and run the
separate GearBox program alongside
your recording program and plug-ins.
A typical setup for ToneDirect™ Monitoring
TonePort DI alongside a second recording interface
is shown below. MORE INFO
Line 6 hardware must also be connected via USB.

must be connected
