GearBox with PODxt
One difference between PODxt and TonePort or GuitarPort devices is that PODxt’s have their own
onboard DSP processing and Memory. You can think of GearBox as a computer “user interface” for
what is running on your PODxt device. Because of this hardware architecture, you’ll see a few
differences here for GearBox controls with PODxt as compared to TonePort or GuitarPort. It also
means that the processing horsepower used to apply all those juicy amp, cab and effects models to
your Tone don’t need to run on your computer’s processor, which should give you a bit more reserve
processing power for other things, like recording software and more complex sessions.
When using PODxt, PODxt Pro or PODxt Live hardware with GearBox, the GearBox interface offers
a fixed set of Tone options. The Instrument input is “fixed” as the GearBox input source, and the input
signal is routed to the Record Send 1-2. Please refer back to the
GearBox controls and operation
section for description of the common interface features. To follow are some details on the items
specific to using GearBox with PODxt devices.
