Zoom b3 patch Ideas

Here's another patch idea I came up with. this patch is another duplication of the darkglass vmt, but it can also be a close duplication of the original darkglass vmtd(version 1). this patch has warm grinding overdrive with tube-like warmth and drive that makes it suitable for rock and metal music.

Vintage grind deluxe

Section 1: dual comp: hi: 30, lo: 25, freq: 900hz, level: 100, tone: 3

Section 2: t-scream: gain: 75, tone: 50, level: 100, balance: 40

Section 3: super b: bass: 4, mid: 5, treble: 3, midfq: 350hz, gain: 25, level: 90, presence: 7, cab: ag1x15, mix: 50

As much as you dig the B3, you're gonna love the N!

I would like to purchase one to see it's take on of the darkglass models. the only deal breaker for me is that it didn't include some of my favorite amp models, but someone on the zoom b3n thread informed me that I can download certain amp models onto the zoom b3n. so I guess that covers it for me. I will be purchasing one real soon.

The N had everything I wanted except the AcBsPre for an HPF, so I kept my 60b for that.

I see what you mean. I liked the gallien-krueger and hartke amp models for clean chorus patches. unfortunately it wasn't on the zoom b3n. luckly, you can download certain amp models to the zoom b3n. that's what I would do If I happen to own a zoom b3n. and I'm pretty sure you can download certain preamps on the zoom b3n as well. someone has mentioned that to me on the zoom b3n thread.
 
Here's a new patch idea I came up with. this patch is a heavier version of the vintage grind deluxe. using the squeak distortion model for a more heavier sound that suitable for rock and metal music.
