    Line 6 HX Stomp

    Guilty! I've been playing bass for 24 years. I'm just excited I even have a paean to pander about! Thanks for the good word. I appreciate it.

    An Ode to Bassists - Give it a listen

    My band just released a new tune, "Bassist". It puts the spotlight on the often overlooked and underappreciated backbone of the band, a very strange feeling for me on the bass. But for whatever reason people love it live. I thought the TalkBass crowd might appreciate this one. Check it out and...

    Line 6 HX Stomp

    I recorded the bass part to this song with my band fully through the HX stomp. I used one of the Mesa/Boogie models. The Autofilter was huge. Thought my fellow bassmen might enjoy this one. It's called "Bassist".

    New: Zoom B3n Multi-Effects

    I had the same experience as @jimfist . I found a wealth of usable drives on the B3n but never really touched them on the B3. In AB testing with my Porkloin overdrive, I found the B3n to give me a ton of control and produced tones that were every bit as satisfying to my ears. Digging deep into...

    New: Zoom B3n Multi-Effects

    I do miss the Moog filter. I wore that thing out. Great effect I definitely hope they bring back for the B3n.

    (Super) Affordable Preamp Pedal?

    Plus 1 for Zoom products. I have used the B3 and now use the B3n before my Aguilar Tonehammer500 for sound sweetening and extra effects. Very flexible and good tone quality.

    B3n patch library.

    Hey, I created a login and everything for your site, but I'm having computer woes and don't have consistent access to a machine with the guitar lab software. As soon as I do, I want to go to town on that site. I've got like 20 different tones I'd love to share.

    B3n patch library.

    Hey, I took a crack at the Man in the Mirror Tone. I don't think you can mimic that attack on the Synth from the record, but this tone turned out pretty nice for the tune. I tried it with and without the superchorus, both work. Man in the Mirror Tone 160 Comp: -22, 4.0, Hard, 80 Z-Syn: 3, 6...

    New: Zoom B3n Multi-Effects

    I had the B3 on my pedal board for about a year, along with a compressor, Octaver, overdrive, fuzz, eq, and tuner. When I got my B3n I put my whole pedal board in the closet and it has stayed there. I use the B3n for my cover band which uses a varinety of pop/rock/soul/synth tones. I've been...

    New: Zoom B3n Multi-Effects

    Downloaded the new effects. I am digging on the LoEQ and BassOctFuzz. A ton of fun and I think I can get some nice usable tones out of them. Great update Zoom!

    Zoom B3n octave quality

    Here's a clip of a comparison between the B3n Octave effect and the Aguilar Octamizer. It's not much, but it might give you some idea. Aguilar's characteristic is typically a more warm and transparent than the Boss Octave, that to my ear is more synthy. That's something to keep in mind. In the...

    Instead of buying a compressor, should I instead get a multi-effect?

    Couldn't have said it better myself. All the more reason to get an incredible variety of quality tones out of a $200 box.

    Instead of buying a compressor, should I instead get a multi-effect?

    Reading through the thread it looks like I might be the first to have actually played with the B3n. Zoom has put a significant upgrade into the tone of their effects on this pedal. I played through an MXR M87 and swore by it. Unfortunately, it died the day I got the B3n. I will say, I've been so...

    Zoom B3n octave quality

    I have an Aguilar Octamizer and have been really happy with the B3n's Octave performance. Great tracking. The tone is not as flexible as the Aguilar, but I've found a very satisfying tone digging into the parameters on the B3n. I'll try to record a sound comparison this weekend and post...

    New: Zoom B3n Multi-Effects

    Yo B3n crowd, I posted this on the patch idea thread but thought I’d post it here as well. My excitement for this pedal has not dropped since I received it a month or so ago. I’ve played it 6 or 7 of times in a variety of live settings and have been getting great results. Right now, I’ve been...
