New: Zoom B3n Multi-Effects

With me trying not to hog the opinion floor, all I will say is that the amp/cab/drive sims are in a completely different (better) class than those in the B3 and I love finally having more than 3 effect slots! :thumbsup:
This is definitely a YMMV question, but here goes anyway:

Have you run out of effect slots yet when trying to make some usable tones (patches)? I have an MS-70CDR in the effect loop of my mixer in case I want to get wacky with modulation and other things.

For my needs 7 slots is more than generous (even considering that there are only 4 slots remaining after amp and cab sim.) Life is good!
 
So far, it's REALLY nice. This might be my one and only. I also JUST got the Valeton Dapper Bass, similar to a bass fly rig. That's cool too, but this does more. The struggle is real.

Congrats!! I didn't realize how small it was. I can't wait to get mine. I ended up canceling the B&H order and forking out an extra $11 of taxes for Amazon so I'll get mine on Sunday.
 
IMG_2270.JPG Ok, so I'm going to post four pics. The first one shows the B3n in normal orientation. The second uses "portrait" orientation, leaving more room for a wireless and direct box. The third simply shows that the B3n could be mounted flush to the top of the lip on this little case, and the case would close. Fourth pic is the case itself. It's the cheapest one Rondo sells. Before you run out and order it, let me measure and make absolutely certain it's that case. I've had it about a year.

Does anybody know of a single gadget that can:
  • Switch between two instrument inputs
  • Daisy-chain 500ma for the B3n
  • (Nice-to-have) tune
Korg's PitchBlack+ is a well-liked tuner with two inputs but only supplies 200ma. I'm heading towards the Korg regardless. Any other ideas?

How about the Korg and a y cable off of one of the power supplies that provides at least 1 amp of power?
