Just a heads up, not seen any mention here yet. I currently use a B2 and love it, esp for the price. This one seems like connectivity central (USB2, stereo XLR outs, moveable loop..) Link - http://cachepe.zzounds.com/media/qua...54114b5fed.jpg

oh wow...a bass version of the G9.2tt...notice the tube...cool...

so new, it's not even on Zoom's website yet...

here's the guitar counterpart

http://www.zoom.co.jp/english/products/g92tt/index.php

check out the bit about the 2-axis "Z pedal"...what a great idea...

It's cool...but I'm sure it will be a sight more than the B2.1u...

I can't wait to see the specs...

Looks very promising. The thing that worries me about the Zoom pedals is this: my B2 developed a bad switch shortly before the 1 year warranty ran up. I got it fixed (they were very fast about it) but then the other switch has started developing the same symptoms and my warranty is up. This new pedal has even more switches, which should be a good thing, but their switches don't inspire the utmost of confidence, IME. They're not "normal" switches that I could replace myself whenever they went bad.

If this is real that's awesome! I sent them an email a year ago asking if they were planning a bass version of the g7/g9 series - no answer until this.

Looks cool, but the only problem I would have with it (from first blush) would be fat-footing, especially considering the layout of that board and the number of stomps.

B series is nothing like the 506 or 708...

Planet Boulder, I don't any issues using the 2 stomp buttons on the B2.1u....spacing is at least 3" inches (too early in the morning to measure )...I suspect new unit will have similar spacing.

Is it just me, or does the expression pedal look like it's made of plastic?!

It might look that way, but if it's anything like the B2.1u, it's aluminum.

it may "look" plastic, but it's not...as kevin says..."it's aluminum"...

as a B2.1u user, I can assure you, the highere end zoom pedals are quite rugged.
