Zoom B3 multi-effects - Page 11

gastric · #**201** 12-03-2012, 03:33 PM

Added a couple of muff fuzz patches to my Zoom page here: http://www.cgraham.com/chris/music/bass/zoom_b3/

Attempted to clone my Wren and Cuff Box Of War which is a great, bass laden muff sound. I wasn't able to nail it with the B3 as the fuzz is so focused on the high end. Normally I'd try amp sims for massive EQ changes but that didn't work well in this case, plus the fuzz is so noisey you really want the ZNR in there which eats up a block.

Sorry, no sound clips yet. But try it and let me know what you think.

I'd really like the 6 effects option for when I use the B3 as a pre. I could set the amp sim, some sort of comp and maybe a noise supressor or eq on 4, 5, 6, and then have effects I'd actually want to turn on and off for 1, 2, and 3. I hear what some of you are saying on multiple amp sims overloading it, but couldn't you just make different patches for different sims?

I'm just joining this and maybe I'm missing something. I'm using the B3 and enjoying it lots, but I'm surprised that there's not one shared patch in Edit and Share. When I go to Zoom online all that lists are the presets. Is that because no one has shared or because I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks for any guidance,

Jeremy

Honestly, I don't recall there being any way to upload shared patches to some Zoom-hosted online repository. Someone educate me if there is as to my knowledge only Line6 is that smart.

Interesting. I wonder what "share" in "edit and share" would otherwise mean.

The software allows you to export special file(s) that represent each of your patches.

You can then choose to share these files with others so that they can import them into their B3.

Cheers!

Thank you CharlieC,

My question is whether other than Gastric anyone has shared their files. It would be great if there were a repository someplace.

Somewhere in the Effects forum there's a Zoom Patch Idea sharing thread. Though I don't think they're necessarily the raw edit app files, more of a text description of the settings. Unfortunately not a ton of sharing going on in general. Bass players are shy, apparently.

CHILDISHGAMBINO · #**210** 12-07-2012, 09:19 AM

There is a link in the patch ideas thread to a bunch of patch files. OzzyGreg and Crystalman have uploaded quite a few patches and even taken the time to upload patches others have posted descriptions of.

For the un-initiated .... there are currently 48 different B3 patches from various different users here to download direct into your own B3 and try out.

This list is being added to by anyone who wants to take the time to upload their own patches via "Edit & Share".
....................Get on board!

Anybody tried the Edit&Share software with Windows 8 ? Does it work ?

I'm on Windows 8, 64bit and have no issues whatsoever.

So I'm getting one of these soon, and I'm wondering if it would be better to run it before or after my sansamp, what would you guys say?

If I were you I'd put the Sansamp in the cupboard and use the B3 exclusively.

The B3 has a Sansamp simulation anyway.
Ok, I grant you, it doesn't have all the features and adjustability of the genuine item, but it's pretty impressive!

Indeed!

This badboy has sidelined a lot of gear for me, including my fuzzrocious and way huge pedals. I really really li Ki e it.

Especially loving the bassman sim at the moment. Tight vintage goodness

Hi guys, sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find the answer I was looking for after searching. With the B3, can I connect it to my Mac via USB, send my music in iTunes to the B3, and play along through the headphones? Thanks for any/all responses.

I had a B3 briefly, and I didn't really take the time to learn how to use it. I've since had a neighbor move in beside me with an infant, and they have complained about my bass being too loud while I practice. Yes I know I was there first, but I'll give them the fact that the walls in the condo are paper-thin, and they have been cool about it in that they have come to me first as opposed to taking up with management. So if I can use this to practice silently, I think I'll be picking one up again!

Yes, that's entirely doable, and you'll also be able to record your bass to the laptop if you want to. One of the sweet aspects of the B3.

Great, thanks for the quick reply Rune. Looks like I'll be picking up another B3 shortly.
