Line 6 Toneport Question Options

[Nighthawk1]

Hi there GMC,
well finally I ve purchased the line 6 ux2 toneport device which comes with the great gearbox and the Live recording software...It an amazing device the tones in there are awesome but I have some real important question...
I want to use my amp with the toneport and the gear box how does that work out? I have just used headphones your my normal stereo....isn't using the amp the normal way???I can't find instructions in the manual about that.
And what is the difference between a Pod, and a toneport??
Can somebody answer that one ?Thanks

PODs are amp modeling & multieffect devices all in one. They don't really need an amp to be used, because they already model differebt kind of amps. That's why many people use them through quality monitors, which don't change the sound.

You could also use the POD through the clean channel of a guitar amp, and it should work really good too.

The Toneport does the same thing: it models different amps and also loads of effects. But it is not designed to be used "alone", as you already know it needs a computer running Gearbox to operate and tweak the sounds.

If you want to make the toneport sound through an amp you could, as has already been suggested, connect the line out (usually used for monitors/headphoned) to an amp, but it's not really intended for that. When I use my Toneport I listen to it either through some good headphones or through my computer speakers, which are not bad. In the future I plan on getting some nice monitors, as it seems to be the best option overall to get the best uncoloured sound from devices such as Toneports, PODs, Pandora, etc.

Hope that helps

Good explanation Fran. I use my Toneport through a set of KRK 5's which sound great for the price point.
