Podfarm and Gearbox are different animals.
Gearbox is the way to go using pods, it keeps all the proccessing in the pod, freeing PC CPU to do other things, plus it works great. Podfarm can work as standalone or plug-in. As a standalone app it's free, works with toneports but not with POD X3 (it uses Gearbox), and makes all the proccesing take place in the computer. It looks nice with 3D models of amps/stomp boxes etc. As a plug-in, it works with either toneports/pods, you have to pay or get it free with X3, and what it does is post-proccess a dry signal and add any modelling you wish to it as a DAW plug-in. So it works in a completely different way than Gearbox, more like the Gearbox plug-in used to work. -------------------- Guitars:

Gearbox and POD Farm are basically the same thing. If you use Toneport it doesn't really matter what program you use - they have the same engine and same sounds.
POD Farm I think was made by Line 6 as an answer to other brand products like Amplitube and Guitar Rig that have a bit better use interface. Personally I think POD Farm is not that good because: 1. It doesn't bring a better sound 2. User interface is nice looking but clumsy 3. Version still has a lot of bugs since it's only 1.0.3 4. Doesn't have a metronome or audio player installed 5. 2 channel interface (ux1, ux2) are very clumsy, it's difficult to load presets IMO gearbox is the thing to use for now. You can try POD Farm if you have Toneport/POD Studio, because it is free, but it is a new software that is still suffering from bugs, and it is not yet brought to a level that Gearbox has. Both softwares are compatible, and I think Line 6 plans to transfer to POD Farm completely by ruling out the Gearbox, but it will not happen in some time, not until POD Farm is developed properly. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
