Still, you have to select one function per patch under the Total menu.

Standard type B, the most common USB cable. I use one that came with a printer :P

I purchased a Hosa USB-205AB cable. Here is the Amazon page for it:

Unfortunately, I purchased it at Sam Ash at the same time I purchased my Zoom B3 and thus paid too much for the cable.

HTH...

It's strange that the US import B3s don't come with a USB cable. My Aussie version did.

Mine was included, picked it up off another US TB'r but I'm pretty sure he mentioned his cord coming with it originally

I have a B3 and 2 B2.1u units... None ever came with a USB cable... But these things are so common and inexpensive...

For the Americans... Just pick one up at OfficeWorks or Best Buy

For the Aussies... Staples K-mart or BigW

European versions don't come with a USB cable either - but printers and other computer devices didn't come with a signal cable for years (even reaching back to the pre-USB days), that I didn't expect it to be included.

Mine hit the floor today. I was jamming along with some tracks and the phone rang. I reached for the phone and stumple upon the cables and came off the table right on the floor. Everythink ok except for the paint where it hit the floor.

I know this is nut much but I´m so anal with my gear.

Must be luck of the draw for cable inclusion by the looks of it.
I think I'd better buy a lottery ticket!

Just wanted to thank everybody on this forum thread. I usually record direct into my studio and have lots of tools that make my bass sound great. I pulled out a GT-6B last night that I bought and never played. To put it politely, it kind of sucked. So I started researching, there must be a better bass mutli effects by now! I had a bass POD XTlive some time ago, that was okay, but kind of gimmicky.

So I stumbled on this thread and read every message and clicked on every link and learned everything I could. Then today I picked up two B3's without even trying them (based on the glowing reviews here). Wow that is some nice unit!! I think it's the first time I've plugged in a multi-fx board and pretty much liked the bulk of the presets. Then dialing it in a bit, wow I really feel like I have control of my sound with some really useful virtual pedals! And these units are so affordable! Chaining two together is a hell of a lot of fun! (my fav setup so far:
Avalon U5 -> Mutron -> Chorus -> D Comp -> Graphic EQ -> Bman cab)

So thanks for the great posts and research! These boxes are keepers for sure.

Okay I may have some big news or maybe not. Working with edit & share this evening and I had a pop up asking if I want update my firmware. So I went to the zoom website to check it out and nada. Go to the manual to about updating to follow instructions and it tells me to for instructions go to Zoom website. Now I decide to download the G3 firmware instructions to possibly get a clue did what it says and nada. Now go back to edit & share and I can't the message to pop up again. So my question is anyone else seen theis UFO or am I off my rocker?

CHILDISHGAMBINO · #**474** 02-10-2013, 06:46 PM

No ufo here. You could be off your rocker

alexer47 · #**475** 02-10-2013, 07:40 PM

Okay here is the screenshot.

alexer47 · #**476** 02-10-2013, 07:43 PM

Okay try again this time a little clearer. I was not off my rocker.

CHILDISHGAMBINO · #**477** 02-10-2013, 07:58 PM

Weird. I don't get that message when I plug the B3 into the computer. There's nothing to download at that link except drivers. Weird.

alexer47 · #**478** 02-10-2013, 09:06 PM

Like I said it's a UFO. Maybe it's an accident or my software is funky. But definitely calling Samson tomorrow.

It might be something new from Zoom?

I haven't plugged my B3 into the computer for a few days.
I'll try to remember tonight to see if i get the same pop-up.

kr0mka · #**480** 02-11-2013, 03:32 PM

I tried it today, no pop-up for me
