Zoom B3 - good enough amp models and effects for guitar?

[joegrant413]

Hi folks,

I've been a happy owner of a Zoom B3 for about a year. I also play guitar, and although I have guitar-specific gear, it would be convenient to just use the B3 in a home practice situation.

I found the Bassman model to be good enough. Are there any other amp or DI models I should check out for guitar?

Of course, Chorus and most time-based effects are just fine for guitar. How about any of the B3's OD or distortion boxes? I started by trying out the B3's "Overdrive" effect, and wasn't impressed.

Again, this is just for convenience... so I'm looking for easy answers. If nothing else, I'll just stick with a clean guitar sound via the B3 Bassman amp model.

Thanks,
- Joe

Marshall and Polytone are amp models I use. Fuzz face, tube screamer and rat are drives I use.

I used to get away with that. Then I tried an actual Zoom guitar multi fx and realised how muddy it was for guitar.

Yeah, that's been lurking in the back of my mind.
