I think they are basically the same, Line 6 just "updated" or "changed" the interface some. My UX2 runs on Pod Farm 2 software, which basically allows me to choose an amp model, add effects, specify outputs, etc. I think Gearbox did basically the same thing. I think there are some discussions about this on the Line 6 forum.

Gearbox is an editor/librarian that's free for users of Line6 hardware. For POD users, it replaced Line6Edit (which is still available/useable). PODFarm is purchased as a standalone/plugin application (or comes bundled with certain hardware), to provide POD sounds/processing/editing to you DAW/sequencer/interface. I believe that you can also transfer the licensing/processing/patches back-and-forth from POD to PODFarm so that you can use one or the other (POD or PODFarm) without having to purchase processing(models)/effects for both. Yeah, yeah---not as simple as "down on the farm." Line6 software/licensing can be "a little confusing", something they make up for with software updates and enhancements and ADDED features for their hardware. My POD-XTL has paid for itself over and over and over again, now has more features/effects than when I bought it due to free updates, it has two free editor/librarians (not counting PODFarm), tons of downloadable patches, acts as a software-hardware editor/librarian interface for my VariAx, I get great user and factory support, great purchased-on-sale add-ons (models&effects), and it NEVER let me down (in continuous use since October of 2004). If anything happened to it, I'd replace it in a heartbeat (that's when the licensing nightmare would start---but you do eventually wake up from it).
This is absolutely a great time to be a musician.
To all of us working stiffs: Happy Labor Day!

Bernier,
One big plus with PodFarm 2 is the ability to drag and drop the components in any order. Big difference for instance in sequencing a compressor before or after a chain with distortion.
Pod Farm 2 is well worth the upgrade even if you are not getting a whole new arsenal of gear over the Gearbox selections.
This being said, check out IK multimedia Amplitube 3. As fine as the Line 6 stuff is, IK set a new bar.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
