I often stand and jam into Ninjam with my guitar and headphones on, and can always produce a great (to me) and varying tone in this manner. Using the FCB1010 and Gearbox in this way makes my UX2 feel like a live set of pedals at my feet.
#POD FARM 1 PATCH#
I use a footswitch for each effect (od, wah, mod, delay, rev etc) and use one of the expression pedals for the effect amount for each effect (or wah for the wah!) The other expression pedal is used for global patch volume. Yes I use the FCB1010 to control Gearbox standalone (not the VST version)while performing into Reaper. Hey jed - you like using the footcontroller with gearbox? can you use it to change presets? like pedal 1 is preset A, pedal 2 is preset B, etc.Įver use it live? with a laptop or something? I'm not sure if any of this has changed with the plugin giveaway. Though Gearbox and Pod Farm are very usable and convenient to use but the activation, authorization scheme kinda bites.
Not sure which POD versions this works with though, mostly the later ones I'd imagine.
#POD FARM 1 SOFTWARE#
Gold Bundle on the other hand is a set of presets that will load into either Pod Farm, Gearbox or the POD.Įdit: The others are likely correct, you'll need Line6 Monkey which is a piece of software that can see the POD hardware and interact with Line6 online to authorize the plugin and the POD (meaning you might need a user account to sign into with Monkey). To get that file loaded into the POD might require Gearbox for the transfer if you wanted to later move something you created in POD Farm to the physical POD. You can also save presets etc in Pod Farm VST but I think only as a file. It doesn't offer any of the "practice workflow" features found in Gearbox as its more of a tone designer. Much nicer than gear box and also loads all presets created by the POD, Gearbox etc. Pod Farm VST is similar to Gearbox VST but offers dual tones, a much more studio centric GUI for building your tones. I can't completely test this since I have the plugin version and the standalone isn't fully functional. Pod Farm standalone is different in that it appears to be doing the processing on the computer even in standalone mode. I don't see that Gearbox VST has dual amps though. You can still use all the presets created by the standalone version of Gearbox and possibly also Pod Farm. Gearbox VST appears to do all the processing on the computer and the POD is just the dongle. If you are using Gearbox standalone with an X3 then Gearbox will reflect the X3's dual tone abilities. When you are using Gearbox standalone you are operating the POD itself and Gearbox.
#POD FARM 1 DOWNLOAD#
It also offers a metronome, loop player and direct access to download tones from the Internet and an interactive interface for paid online lessons if I remember correctly. It also allows you to load all the presets that are on the POD itself, save them and is also how you move presets that you downloaded or previously saved to the POD. Gearbox standalone is mostly a GUI for the actual POD device with graphical representations of the gear.
Is there any difference besides cosmetic between Podfarm and the Gold Bundle?
