A Tip for pod farm / podxt users & gpt tone bundles

[atalwar]

I came across this issue today and was luckily able to workaround it , so thought better to share if any of you may have tried this before and given up hope.

The Issue : If you have line6 tone bundle file in gpt (guitar port) format , pod farm cannot load tones from it (as of current version 1.10). The gpt bundle can be a dump of tones from your pod via gearbox or as in my case a bundle downloaded from internet of some other artist.

The Solution : Convert the bundle to a format pod farm can load.

If you don't have line6 edit (the editor pre gearbox) download/install that from line6 website/monkey

1: launch line 6 edit
2 open the gpt bundle.
3: convert the bundle to a collection (.l6c format) , You will be prompted that the collection cannot be loaded back into pod choose ok as you are converting to use these tones in pod farm software anyway.

you may choose to delete the amp setup and fx-setup folder from the collection file as they are not required by the pod farm software.

4: save the collection file (.l6c) into the pod farm tones folder (usually my documentsline6tonespod farm)

6. Either refresh your tone collection or, open the bundle manually in pod farm to have it recognize it and appear as a folder in pod farm.

Great tip Amit! Up until now, I'd been re-creating my GuitarPort tones in PodFarm manually. This will save a lot of time.
