Register Your Line 6 Hardware
Registration of your Line 6 gear may be required for some updates and product authorizations, and
is also important because it ensures that you’re dialed in for warranty service and makes it possible
for us to contact you if new software versions or other cool enhancements are offered - cutting edge
technology and such!
If you have not already done so, you’ll be prompted to Register your connected Line 6 device. Just click
that Register button when prompted and fill in the blanks on the web page. This page will list all your
registered Line 6 gear in one place.
Grab those Updates
Once Line 6 Monkey launches, it will automatically detect your connected device. Within the Updates
page in Line 6 Monkey, if you see any items indicated with an exclamation symbol then you should
select the item in the list, click on the Update Selection button, and let the little Monkey fellow walk
you through the installation steps. Items in the Updates screen indicated with a green check , are
up-to-date and require no attention. You’ll definitely want to grab the latest GearBox software, since
we’ll be covering how to use POD Studio/TonePort’s controller features with it - and it’s free anyway,
so help yourself (more about GearBox in the following chapters).
Note: If you have a POD Studio device, you’ll also see the Line 6 POD Farm 1.x software as an available
download. You can install and use POD Farm/POD Farm Plug-In as desired (even if you also have
GearBox/GearBox Plug-In installed). However, POD Farm 1.x does not offer MIDI control via POD
Studio, TonePort or 3rd party controller devices.
The columns on the right of the Updates list tell you the version numbers for all currently installed
items and available updates. Click on any item in the Updates list and refer to its description in the
Help and Info pane below. Also, at the left you’ll see your connected Line 6 device shown, along with
its unique ESN (Electronic Serial Number), should you ever need to reference this ID number for
registration or warranty service.
Running Line 6 Monkey is the easiest way to stay current on the latest Line 6 software and hardware
updates!
