New: Zoom B3n Multi-Effects

The cabinet models and implementation are even better than I had hoped and based on IRs no less!

Both the Operation Manual and Effect List PDFs are now available:

I know I'm sounding like a WAB here...same complaints I have about MS60-B:
1. No Rat based dirt model, though I can get by with the Muff and others
2. It would be nice to include the Octave and Flanger from the guitar series. The Flanger works better with my synthy tones than the Bass Flanger, and the Octave behaves more like the Boss OC-2. Maybe included in updates or downloads?

Oh boy! I can't tell you how many bassists who own the upper-tier modelers have been begging for a Darkglass B7k model, let alone that they've also included a B3k.

Hoping for a real discernible improvement to the modeling in this thing, and if they've done a good job, IMO it will be a winner.

Jeez, they're making it really hard for me to hold out and see if they come out with a bigger version like the G5n. AAAAARGH!
 
I am curious to learn how much room there is on the hardware for the downloading of new models before space runs out.

Equally, I am curious to learn if it is possible to delete the default included models (in addition to the downloadable ones of course.)

Perhaps G5n owners can answer this already?

The answer to question 2 above may also answer if it would be feasible then to turn a G5n into a true B5n (and not a G5n, with stock guitar models, and with a finite amount of bass downloadables also on board.)

@jimfist what can you confirm to the above questions as a G5n owner and user of Guitar Lab software?
 
i think i've read on this same thread that one of the complaints was that each effect has just 4 parameters you can manipulate... According to the FX List, it seems some effects offer more than 4 parameters to tweak... So.. is there a second page or some effects are taking 2 screen and 2 sets of knobs ? (e.g. Kick FLNG, EG Filter, Bass EQ)

Yes, this is correct. Please see my previous post here ( New: Zoom B3n Multi-Effects ) regarding this:

Cheers!

My thoughts exactly. In addition to the ability to chain 7 effects I hope they are upgraded too. Would love to hear some richer sounding dirt and octave effects.
