After having removed the video earlier today now is back up but they have cut the part where Victor says "you can blend six effects a a time"... See the cut at 38 seconds in:

I think that's not good news

Ouch.

It's nice to know they can move fast if they want to. Apparently they don't want to on the 6 effects...

Not much of a synth guy myself. What synths do you usually like?

I'm thinking about getting one of these since the Pod HD Pro only has one meager bass amp model -_____-

varunkapahi, how's your experience with the unit been? Does it sound warm or digital, in your opinion? Good for stage/studio sounds?

I used to have a Zoom 505II processor for my guitar, which was great for the price and my ability at the time. I have a good opinion of the company, I remember reading about how their G9.2tt guitar processor was comparable to the best stuff put out by Boss and Line 6. Definitely have upped their game.

On that note, which is the higher end bass modeller -- the B3 or the B9.1t?

I knew there was going to be a part 2 of this thread. If anyone here has a zoom b3 and needed to create some nifty patches, come check out the zoom b3 patch ideas thread.

MAYDAY!

Is it possible to be playing/staying in one patch/sound while clicking to the next patch?

You should be able to click and hold the left button, then change to the next up or down patch, though that will often cause that left effect to turn off or on. And there's no 'skipping' patches.

Thanx!

First time this little magic box disappoints me.

There isn't a good synth sound available. The synths and the octave are the worst part of this pedal. Everything else is pretty great.
