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 Line 6 USB 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.
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.
The Updates and Optional Add-Ons screens in Line 6 Monkey are also an easy way to get the Line
6 POD Farm 2 and GearBox software, as well as Add-On Model Packs. POD Farm 2 & POD Farm 2
Plug-In is available for purchase to all POD Studio & TonePort owners, and special upgrade pricing is
available if you’ve already purchased the POD Farm 1 Plug-In Add-On. GearBox is available for free.
*Note that the POD Farm version 1 software & Plug-In is also still available using Line 6 Monkey for all
POD Studio and TonePort devices. However, POD Farm 1 does not support MIDI control via external
MIDI controller devices. Most DAW applications will still allow MIDI control of POD Farm 1 Plug-In via
its own MIDI track options - please see your DAW application’s documentation.
Running Line 6 Monkey is the easiest way to stay current on the latest Line 6 software and hardware
updates!
