Zoom’s B3 Bass Effects and Amp Simulator combines the ease of a stompbox pedalboard with the power of a multi-effects processor and a USB audio interface. With complete control over individual effects and amp modeling, you can change your tones on the fly for both stage and studio.
This intuitive design makes creating, saving and rearranging the effect chain of your sounds a breeze and provides easy navigation in live and studio settings.
The B3’s modeling technology provides the best tone for both live performance and direct recording.
The B3 offers 99 diverse types of stompbox effects, including some of the world’s most popular bass pedals and rack-mounted processors. The all-new ZFX-IV DSP effects processor boasts amazing power and clarity, upgrading everything from sound to functionality and operability over previous ZFX versions.
The B3’s Looper capabilities include 40 seconds of phrase recording and overdubbing. The “sound-on-sound” function allows you to layer bass sounds as many times as you want in real time and use looped sounds as simple backing tracks. The pedal’s direct monitoring capability eliminates latency issues, assuring realistic studio conditions and hassle-free operation.
The pedal’s Tuner function offers smooth, real-time response with precise bass tuning accuracy. The B3’s “noise floor” of -100dBm virtually eliminates background noise and the ZNR noise reduction removes feedback and other unwanted sounds, providing you with clear tones, along with natural release decay and reverb tails.
Use an optional FS01 footswitch to tap the tempo used for the drum machine, looper and effects.
