I don't know if anybody has mentioned this yet, but the new version of GearBox gives Guitar Port re-amping abilities. When you use the Guitar Port ASIO driver it gives you an additional input bus that has the choice of being totally dry or with amp and stompboxes.

How's the stability of the new driver?

I've mostly stopped using my TP since I got the firebox, but I still have the TP since I can't seem to sell it. :)

that's good to know, I use xt live so I had that anyhow, but it's good info for those with guitarport

No one's tried the plugins at 96Khz? I'll ask over at the Line 6 forums.

Is the reamping still as limited as it was with the XT? When I had an XT I was amazed to gind that I had to mute all of the other tracks of a song to reamp one track unless I wanted them all running through amp models. That's useless as far as I can see.

I haven't used re-amping per se, but I did play around with it. I used my soundcard for monitoring and sent just the guitar track back to the xt live and it worked fine...I did it with AA2.0, but as long as you can use different cards for different tracks you should be okay.

The re-amping is very rudimentary. As far as I can see you have to play the clean signal back through the GP to make it work.

I have been reamping with GP for ages with the help of my sound card.

I have a Yamaha i88x and play the guitar into input one. I create a channel and send this to output 8. Output 8 is sent to the GP. I bring the GP back into the Yamaha i88x on inputs 3&4. Now if I record inputs 1, 3 & 4, I have a a clean version of my guitar track ready for reamping and a dirty version. If I want to add another cabinet or a new amp, I just play the track again and record inputs 3 & 4 to a new track.

I hope that helps and is as clear as mud.

Yes. I assume this update is just so that it can work with the new hardware Line 6 has just released.

Gearbox has a tuner.

what kind of experiences has everyone else had? it was a seamless install for me. update monkey on it's own, select the gearbox plugin item in monkey, click purchase add-on, buy it, use code in reciept to unlock it, download gearbox v3.0, install, open monkey, activate, enter code, guitarport firmware updated, done.

How freakin' awesome is Line 6 Monkey!?! It immediately made me 110% happy with my purchase, even before I's heard anything through it. That initial experience is so important and these guys nailed it.

I don't mind dongles but that's just ridiculous. $199 for the plugin, but what did you have to pay for your hardware (dongle). The plugin should be free to existing users.

Yeah, isn't it a f**king shame that a company tries to protect itself from c**ts. Especially when its a hardware company selling you software to use with its hardware.

So why not put your presets in the same order as your set? If you back-up a master copy it won't matter how many presets you need to overwrite.

Its the same, with or without the hardware. Normal Gearbox is very efficient.

d. I have podxtlive AND from the way back machine.....guitarport........why the f**k should I care?....on mac you can use either along with any other soundcard......

On my PC I don't even need a soundcard.

I got mine because it looks so damned cool! Sure, I justified it by other means but that was just a sham.
