""Gearbox hasn't been supported for quite some time. Your best chance is to continue to find a solution by changing settings on your computer, the software will not be updated.""
Its useless on my PC since my Windows 10 upgrade.
This was part of the reason I bought the Pod XT Live (after seeing a friend use it on his PC) several years back, that I could download, save and alter presets via Gearbox! The fact that Line6 chooses to abandon and cease support of the PC side of this effects pedal tells me to switch brands of equipment at this time. Frankly, I think its a cheap low blow to those who bought this pedal for top dollar.
When you mass produce hardware and claim its accompanied by software (Gearbox in particular) for the PC, then you should continue to honor and support it.
As far as recommending driver roll backs and other user side modifications and tricks to keep Gearbox (sort of) working, if working at all, is just another cheap cop out and a serious and unnecessary inconvenience for the buyer.
I'll never buy another piece of Line6 hardware again! Line 6 company cant be trusted to support anything thats been purchased. I have analogue pedals, amps and guitars that I have had for 35 years that still work great. This pedal is only a few years old and already, a good part of its attraction and functionality has been deemed obsolete and been abandoned by Line 6.
Time to sell the Pod XT Live and my Line 6 amp and to get something with a more useful lifetime and support. Since Line 6 is boldly no longer supporting Gearbox, even its resale worth has been diminished drastically. :-( Thanks a ton Line 6!
