B3K for slap?

No, the B3K works awesome for slap. I've never used it for that, but I've heard some awesome dirty slap sounds come out of that thing.
I personally don't like that much the sound of a dirty slap tone. I think that you can get a better tone with a compressor or/and a tone enhancer pedal, like a preamp, or eq filter, or a boost, usually with a mid scoop. Some use chorus as well (check Mark King) to get some clank.
But that's just my personal taste.
I think the B7K is much more usefull with that because of the eq section. Another drive pedal that I've heard great slapping tones from is the Grizzly, but that's with the funkulator section only, with no drives.

All at 12 clock, Boost Atack and and Fat Grunt!(when my strings are kind old I boost the blend and drive knob a little)
Sometimes, when i feel that I'm"hidden"on the mix, I go for some classic U(but I do not remove too much middle range freq's) eq on my Zoom B3. This way u can boost your slap nicely.
BTW, I'm using passive jazz bass and my band is very heavy/low tunning thing.

This video is why I bought one originally. I play with a pick, but that is an ideal slap tone to me. It's def rock flavored.
