I bought this so I could eliminate my Flextone II while still having the sound and presets I used it for. This has allowed me to do this. I'm not such a huge fan of this whole modeling phase we seem to be going through, as it seems to have stifled innovation a bit.

Still if you want an amp modeling software this will probably do the trick. If you want something to cook chicken on I would try something else.

Excellent guitar sounds. Strange that a function such as the tuner is missing in the VST mode. Wish that in stand-alone mode my Presonus Firepod could be used as audio interface because the Toneport DI cannot convince me and produces crackles (yes, I am aware of adjusting latency time and buffers, but proves no real solution).

As to amps and cabs there is not much to be desired, they sound very convincing. The same applies to the effects although the configuration is not particularly ... Read More

Rating: - awesome for what it does, but disappointing for what it doesn't
i agree with the other reviewers - the sound is awesome. not "all" the presets are awesome, but there are plenty out there to start as templates to craft most any sound you can think of.
however...
to borrow a famous informercial's catch-phrase, if you want to "set it and forget it" then you're good to go. if you want to change your presets, be prepared to stop playing because this can't be done remotely (i.e. via midi). at least you can switch on/off all the various effects remotely. ...

Rating: - Nuts not to get this for your guitar and computer
If you are a guitarist and have a computer, you'd be crazy not to pick this up at the current price. Have you even priced one boutique pedal lately? There's no way you could afford to buy all the pedals and amps and effects modeled here. Even if you don't use them in your music you can find out what they do and how they sound. Great presets but they are all adjustable to allow you to find your own tone. If you really like a pedal, amp or effect, you can always go buy the real thing if you need the real ... Read More

This is by far the best guitar fx plug-in ever created, seriously. I've used the Line 6 PodXT on several recording sessions and was ready to shell out for one + the extra model packs, but then came the GearBox Gold bundle and I was sold!

The Gold bundle contains every amp/cab/fx that Line 6 has ever modeled for guitar/bass and even includes a bunch of vocal preamps & fx. The fx chain could've been a bit more flexible by allowing us to freely move the stomps in the chain but that doesn't stop ... Read More
