Ah, yeah that makes more sense! Yes, the device should work in pretty well all recording software, it just appears as one of the devices in your 'inputs' selection list ( in effect, its an additional soundcard if you like ). I use it in Tracktion, others use it in Reaper etc. It will also install ASIO drivers, which will reduce latency. It's a good piece of kit for the price.

You have to run gearbox separately from your DAW though, start that fisrt then Cubase or whatever. There is a VST version that will run INSIDE the DAW, thats what I thought you meant! :rolleyes: but thats more $$$

In fact though, once you have installed the software, you don't actually have to use it. If you dont run Gearbox, the Toneport will still appear as an input device, but will give you the 'clean' signal, you can then use stuff like freeamp within your recording software for more tone options ( not everyone likes the Line6 tones ).

Hope that helps.
Can you play "Far Far Away?"

Yes - how far would you like?
