What is the CPU Usage Meter?

The CPU Usage Meter at the bottom right corner of the GearBox window shows how much of your

computer’s CPU horsepower is being used to power GearBox. If you see the meter close to fully lit

(as the meter shown above is), GearBox is putting a heavy load on your computer. When you bypass

GearBox’s tone processing engine by pressing the second button to the right of the Tone menu, you’ll

see the CPU Usage Meter’s level drop.

Windows

users can reduce the load GearBox and TonePort put on their CPU by selecting Hardware

& Settings from GearBox’s Help menu and increasing the setting used by ToneDirect™ monitoring.

Also check out Chapter 2 of this guide for more about audio device drivers.

What is Delay?

Delay is one of the categories of GearBox Effects, and you’ll find several types of Delays in GearBox.

Delay adds a delayed echo of your guitar. A short delay time and low feedback setting will give you a

classic “slapback” delay. Longer delay times give you a distinctly separate echo, and higher feedback

settings increase the number of echoes. For details on each of the Delay controls, move your mouse

over the control and look in the Info Bar at the bottom of the GuitarPort window.

What is the Device Manager in Windows

To learn about the Windows

Device Manager and see how it can be used to view and adjust the

settings for your computer’s hardware, please see the Windows XP/Vista Optimizations document on the

section of the Line 6 web site.
