New: Zoom B3n Multi-Effects

... and priced $50 higher! ;)

I wonder if I should wait for the B3nX?:rollno:
 
My B3n came and today and started playing with it. One thing I noticed unless I missed it, is that you can no longer build patches on the computer. Is this true? I used to be able to do this with the B3.

I went all thru the software and the software's manual but couldn't figure out how to do it.

Correct, the current version of Guitar Lab does not allow for editing of patches.

My B3n arrived today. :thumbsup:
Been tooling around for a lil bit. All I can say is, "Unbe-frickin-lievable." I am loving it.
I had the B3 for a short minute and sold it off for individual pedals, DG, Boss, Tuner, etc.
As said earlier, the tones coming out of this thing are incredible. And what's even more surprising is I definitely need to keep my HPF. Yes - bottom.
It's my first time with an all-in-one so I'm sampling all the stock sounds. Very impressive. ;):):bassist:
 
Re Edit: The Power Bank seems to have an auto off function at 12 hours. Back up and running for another 3 hours so far. I won't bore you all again until i have the actual result. I'm guessing 20-24 hours.
So it was arather unscientific experiment but I would say that the run time with my little battery rig was 23 1/2 hours. Quite impressive
 
Does the rythm can be affected by the effects, or it is always dry?

The signal that is before the Rhythm effect passes through "as is" and is blended with the output of the Rhythm effect. The composite output signal from the Rhythm effect is then processed by whatever effects follow. In other words, yes, should there be a Reverb after the Rhythm effect then everything before Reverb will be processed by it, which includes the Rhythm.
 
Thank you CharlieC... other question, can both the looper and the drum be used on a same patch?

I'm imaginating Drum - effect(s) - Loop : record the the effected drum, stop the drum and the effect(s) and jam over the effected drum loop.

Could that be possible? (Iguess so, but I cannot try this myself, not available yet up north).

Thank you!

Yes, both can be used on same patch.
 
I want a bright clean sound. Somehow I only like the SVT when it has a lot of gain.

The SWR model and cabinet sim are pretty clean and bright. Any cab sim can be cleaned-up and made brighter by dialing the BALANCE parameter back from 100 to a lower value, which will introduce more of the clean, un-simulated tone. The SM57 is a brighter mic, and the RE20 is deeper and darker.
