Copying patches from zoom B3 to B1 four

[Crimax]

Hi everybody
I have a zoom B3 in which i stored quite a lot of patches, for example 7 kind of compressions, 7 patch of vintage ecc.
I would like to buy a B1 four due to his extreme portability (even if it lacks DI out, but i would use it for reseharsals), and it would be great if i could transfer the patches to the B1 (via notebook or usb key...don't know).
Does anyone have any idea if it is possible and how?
Thanks in advance

Hi. ToneLib for Zoom has patch export feature, you may try it. However, B3 and B1 Four have different effect formats and patches may be incompatible as well.

Update: tonelib doesn't support B3. So not suitable for you. I guess some manual work will help. Patch editors will greatly help, though.

Thank you, i think the patch editors are different, i will download the patch editor of the B1 and will look.

Zoom B3 has the old EDIT & SHARE but I do not believe it will work cross platform because the effects are totally different on the B1 with updated renderings and resolutions.

FWIW the Edit & Share while a bit clunky is usable platform for editing the B3 for studio and live purposes, I have it running on both my PC and netbook.

i have a B1-Four - sounds amazing into my VST Amp Sims.

thinking about chaining the B1-Four into the B3 into my audio interface.

anyone done this?

the XLR pre/post on the B3 will give me nice wet/dry routing.

plus, i'd rather take the B3 out live.

and i can share the FX blocks across 2 units - far more FX than even the B6 (which i've owned for a minute) - so frustrating.

update: just ordered a used B3
