i have the zoom b1 effect pedal and was wondering if anyone could help me

ato be honest i know nothing about bass effects pedal and i bought this one and i still know nothign. lol

now for days av been trying to get a sound simular to time is running out by muse

now i know the bassintro is bass running through a synth. but i was wondering if it wa spossible to get somewhat simular to this sound on the zoom b1 pedal?

if someones able to could u post what effects u used etc. but make it clear as i have no idea what am doing :S

av been trying fr days to no luck :(
 
Well, you'd find an unending supply of information on this exact topic if you search here in the Effects forum. This topic has seen many-a-thread. ;-D

To my understanding, though, Chris Wolshtenshpritzersteinsteinfofein of Muse uses an Akai Deep Impact (bass synth pedal) into a Sovtek Big Muff. To emulate this, your best bet would be to try making a patch on your B1 in which you have a synth followed by a fuzz. Some synth pedals can emulate Chris' sound by themselves, as do some fuzz pedals (I've heard the Prunes&Custard by Crowther Audio gets pretty close).

Good luck!
 
i can get it by running my MXR Blue Box (2 Octaves Down Plus Fuzz) and a Chorus. but, as Spankypants said, it is really helpful to have a Synth and a Fuzz. im not familiar with the Zoom, but if you can use multiple effects at one time, you could maybe get a similar tone.
