How to resize the GearBox program window
The width of the GearBox window cannot be changed. However, when the Browser is expanded.
The height of the main Gearbox windows can be increased to allow the Browser to take as much
vertical space as you have available on your computer's display.
On Windows® - When the main GearBox window is not maximized (and when the Browser is
expanded), you can click and hold the top or bottom edge of the main GearBox window and
drag to make it taller or shorter. You can also click the maximizing icon (at the top right edge of
the program window's title bar) to maximize its vertical size.
On Mac® – When the Browser is expanded, you can click on the bottom right corner of the
main GearBox windows and drag to resize it vertically.
The Show/Hide “arrow” buttons work in conjunction with the show/hide arrows for the Effects,
Browser and Track sections display to allow you to show/hide portions of the GuitarPort
controls and maximize the space available for the Browser to display information.

Use the Tuner
Click the button at the top right of the GearBox interface to display the Tuners tuner. You
can then play an open single string on your guitar (or bass guitar), and the display on the right
side of the tuner will show you which note that string is currently tuned to. The large meter in the
tuner shows you whether the string is sharp or flat relative to that note. When the needle is
pointing anywhere on the left side of the meter, your string is flat and needs to be tuned up. When
the needle is pointing anywhere on the right side of the meter, your string is sharp and needs to be
tuned down. The Mute/Bypass switch lets you choose whether your guitar will be muted while
tuning, or if you will hear it with amp/cab/effect processing bypassed.
The Tuner’s Reference control tells the Tuner what to tune to. 440Hz is the standard reference
value for A and is generally used for tuning reference. Unless you have a particular need to adjust
the Tuner's reference, you probably want to stick with the standard 440Hz setting for this control.
