• Vocals
  
  American Classic Inspired by* an API® lunch box preamp in a classic studio setup:
  This model gives you classic rock tone that’s focused and a bit compressed through soft distortion. It even includes the treasured tonality and saturation you'd get when recording to classic 24-track analog tape! Good for transients and maintaining a leveled vocal.
  
  Vintage UK Inspired by* a Neve 1073
  Warm with mild distortion when pushed.  Vintage UK handles transients very well and is great for vocal tracking.  Extended bass range also makes it great for direct bass and drum work. 
  
  Modern Inspired by* an Avalon Vt737
  This modern must-have has a clean, bright, and non-compressed sound with soft transients.
  
  Console Solid State Console Mic Pre Design 
  Has a flat frequency response that’s clean with no artifacts or colorization.  A great choice for tracking line level instruments like a keyboard.    
  
  Vintage Inspired by* a Classic Vintage Tube Preamp setup consisting of

• Bass Amps

Rock Classic based on* Ampeg® SVT

Flip Top based on* Ampeg® B-15A

Adam and Eve based on* Eden Traveler WT-300

Silverface Bass based on* 1967 Fender® Bassman® head

Eighties based on* Gallien Kruger 800RB

Guitarport XT - Missing Models Mystery... 31-07-06

GuitarPort® XT introduces the powerful new GearBox™ software platform to GuitarPort. GuitarPort XT is coming late summer 2006.

You may have noticed only two 'new' amp models are being added to the Guitar Port XT upgrade. These are not the four amps that were in the latest PODxt series V3.0 update. At present it only lists the Orange and Marshall, not the Dumble and the Vox.

Don't worry though because they'll be in the Power Pack. That's one detail that didn't get publicized well so here's the addition. Anyone who owns the Power Pack already will get them free with the software upgrade, as will anyone who installs the Power Pack new for the first time after upgrading the software.

Guitarport XT - Guitarport Online / Gearbox / Toneport... 27-07-06

GuitarPort® XT introduces the powerful new GearBox™ software platform to GuitarPort. GuitarPort XT is coming late summer 2006.

• GuitarPorts and TonePorts will offer the same support for GuitarPort Online - now for both Mac and PC. Tones you download are totally transferrable, but tracks are keyed to the device. In other words, you can cancel your subscription for the GuitarPort and sign up with the TonePort no problem, but you'd have to re-download any tracks you got with the GuitarPort to be able to play them with your TonePort.

Sorry for the inconvenience this may cause, but that's the way the system works - largely because of licensing issues for the content that is online. It's kind of similar to the iTunes music store and limitations surrounding computers and iPods that will play the music you buy from their store.

• Does this mean that my model packs will now apply to both GuitarPort and TonePort? Your model packs are all tied to the hardware they are installed into. If you use your GuitarPort with the GearBox software, you'll see the same models you see now when using GuitarPort software. If you use your TonePort, you will see the same models you see now when running GearBox 1 with your TonePort.

  In both cases, you'll see a few new models because there were a few new models added to both the GuitarPort and TonePort standard model sets.

• Will this also be true for the VST version?

  When you install the Plug-in option into a PODxt device, TonePort, or GuitarPort, you will be able to run as plug-ins the model set that is activated in the device you install the upgrade into. We know that's a mouthful, but that's the deal.

  In the case were you would own a Guitarport and all Modelpacks, you'd see a plug-in that contained the standard TonePort model set if you install the option into your TonePort, but you'd get the GuitarPort plus some Model Packs as well in the plug-in if you install the option into your GuitarPort that has Model Packs. Of course, only the TonePort device has the Mic Pre models and the 5 Bass Amp/Cab models. You might consider transferring the packs to the TonePort to get the most out of the Plug-in add-on.
  

• Nothing changes for GuitarPort or Model Pack support. Think of "GearBox 2.0" as the next version of the GuitarPort software beyond v2.51. It's just been renamed. Look at the GearBox 2.0 screenshot

• Everything from GuitarPort v2.51 is still in there. Line 6 had a lot of requests for a version of GuitarPort that works on the Mac and also a lot of requests for GuitarPort to be updated to support the PODxt V3 software and the new Bass Expansion model pack. This is precisely that update.

• The *only* downside to this update is that for existing Windows users, the new version now only works on Windows XP, but anyone still using an old operating system can continue to use GuitarPort 2.51.

• It is likely that you will be able to install GearBox 2.0 under Windows 2000 and it *may* work. However, it will definitely not be officially supported and Line 6 will not spend time trying to troubleshoot or fix bugs if there happen to be issues with running under that OS.

• GearBox is the same software for PODxt's, GuitarPorts, and TonePorts. Line 6 will be posting one download and there will be only one installer CD. It has all of the playing, ripping, half speed, browsing, etc. on both Mac and PC.

• The processing will be done in your computer, whether you're using a PODxt or a TonePort. The signal routing will be exactly as it is in GearBox currently - and I don't think there's any difference between that and current GuitarPort software.

• For another matter; screen size. The screen size limitations are the same. For the last year, GearBox and GuitarPort have basically been different versions of the same app. Now they're synchronizing again, but only the GearBox name carries forward.

• As always you can use the Guitarport XT as an editor for PODxt series aswell.

GuitarPort XT works with both PC and Mac computers, including the new Intel-based OS X machines.

Guitarport Remote... 15-11-05

While using the Guitarport application you sometimes would like to be able to switch between different tones and / or use it as a MIDI controller. Patrick Julien made a program to do just that.

This software has not been developed by Line 6. It was not sanctioned by Line 6. This software is distributed as freeware. There is no guarantee with this software.

How to use GP Remote:

• Open your GuitarPort software
• Start GP Remote.
  (If you see "GuitarPort Preset:" and the name of the preset loaded in your GuitarPort software, communication between apps is fine)

MIDI Controller User:

• Config the MIDI port used by your controller (Options...MIDI Controller Devices).
  Make sure no MIDI controller is configured in GuitarPort (in Edit...Preferences...MIDI).

To map a preset to a trigger (Keyboard or MIDI controller ProgramChange command)

• Click on Map New Trigger.
• Press a key or send a ProgramChange or Controller command from your MIDI controller.
• Select a preset in your GuitarPort software.
• Click Add.

To modify an existing preset:

• Right click on it and select Edit Preset or just Double click on it.
• To change the preset associated with this Trigger, click on the button that shows the name of the current GuitarPort preset. (If you change the Preset in your GuitarPort, the button will update itself)
• Click modify and the preset will be updated in your Trigger mapping window.

To use a sequencer(like Cubase) to change GuitarPort preset automatically:

• Install a Virtual MIDI Port software (like LoopBe1, search Virtual MIDI Port on Google).
• Select this virtual device as a controller in GuitarPort Remote (Options...MIDI Controller Devices).
• Select the same virtual device in your sequencer as MIDI out device.
• Send a ProgramChange command (Midi Channel 0 should be fine, Report to your Sequencer docs to do that)

The software is free to download and use for everyone, but be nice and pay respects and pay a visit to his website and read. Patrick thanks for the work and enjoyment for all.

The program itself is a zipped file, that you need to 'unzip' and install, read the readme file, or above here for further instructions.

V Stomp for Guitarport... 07-05-05

There are a lot of Guitarport users out there, one of them is Line 6 Man, a die hard Line 6 fan. He was fiddling around with his gear and discovered a way to have the stompbox feauture in Guitarport change from pre to post. Allthough many would prefer it to be in pre maybe some would like this feauture.

This software has not been developed by Line 6. It was not sanctioned by Line 6. This software is distributed as freeware. There is no guarantee with this software.

Tigerbill came to the rescue and made a small utillity called V Stomp and it changes your stompbox, while using Guitarport from pre to post and back. You can use Guitarport and V stomp at the same time. When V Stomp is activated, set the midi out port to guitarport, and use the big button to set it pre/post. The button is labeled with pre or post for your reference.V Stomp it's freeware so you don't have to pay anything. Thanks to Line 6 Man and Tigerbill
