GUITAR:
Whether you’re looking for a huge high gain crunch or a smooth, glassy clean tone, the GearBox™ Plug-in delivers all the right sounds for any style of playing. It’s all here. Mix and match amps and cabs, add some sizzle with stompbox and studio effects, and even save your virtual guitar rig to recall it whenever you record. All of the models are taken from our award winning POD® XT and our flagship Vetta™ II amp, so you get the most detailed models possible to make your music sound it’s best.

Whether you’re tracking a live bass groove or finding just the right character for the bottom end of your mix, you don’t even have to leave your seat.  The GearBox™ Plug-in gives you the most in-demand bass amp tones on the planet along with essential effects like EQ and compression, all from the world-standard Bass POD® XT.  A great bass sound will give your track that professional edge it needs.
