awesome for what it does, but disappointing for what it doesn't |
i agree with the other reviewers - the sound is awesome. not "all" the presets are awesome, but there are plenty out there to start as templates to craft most any sound you can think of.
however...
to borrow a famous informercial's catch-phrase, if you want to "set it and forget it" then you're good to go. if you want to change your presets, be prepared to stop playing because this can't be done remotely (i.e. via midi). at least you can switch on/off all the various effects remotely.
also, you'll find this item more worthwhile if you're a guitar player. once again, bass players get lesser consideration from line 6.
it sounds great, relatively painless to use (at least in the limited ways it can be used), and i was able to get it for a great price. i'm enjoying it, but i wouldn't buy it again. rock on! |

GearBox Rocks |
This is by far the best guitar fx plug-in ever created, seriously. I've used the Line 6 PodXT on several recording sessions and was ready to shell out for one + the extra model packs, but then came the GearBox Gold bundle and I was sold!
The Gold bundle contains every amp/cab/fx that Line 6 has ever modeled for guitar/bass and even includes a bunch of vocal preamps & fx. The fx chain could've been a bit more flexible by allowing us to freely move the stomps in the chain but that doesn't stop you from being creative and crafting awesome tones. The plug-in is very CPU efficient, I had 8 instances running in a Pro Tools session with the lowest latency setting on P4 3.2Ghz w/ 1GB DDR RAM and I could still squeeze in a couple more!
The presets are a good starting point but I suggest you get down and dirty with crafting your own tones. GearBox is compatible with tones created for other Line 6 products (e.g. GuitarPort, PodXT, Vetta II etc.) so head over to [...] and download away, there are a TON of great user submitted and Line 6 Artist presets.
The Gold DI is the little USB direct box that must be plugged in when using GearBox as it also functions as a dongle for the plug-in and the model packs. Although it isn't of much use in my home studio setup (I use my M-Audio 1814 to DI guitars) it comes in very handy when I jam or record ideas on my other computer. Yes you can run GearBox on any number of computers and the authorization is painless!
Finally, with this huge arsenal of great sounding guitar & bass amps/cabs/fx and the vocal preamps you have everything you need to get studio quality tones for just about any style of music. Line 6, Believe! |
