Zoom b3 patch Ideas

[Crystalman85]

Crystal, you're the freakin' man.

Actually it's crystalman, and thank you very much. I do my best duplicating certain sounds on the zoom b3.

Man, mines not gonna ship till the 19th This will be my first effects pedal as well, so I have no idea what to expect. Any patches that kind of mimics RATM or Tool's tone?

If you're talking about a patch that emulates an acoustic bass guitar sound, give this patch a try and see if it works out for you.

Section 1: znr: thresh: 17, detect: grnlft, level: 100

Section 2: 160 comp: thresh: -17, ratio: 4.5, gain: 7, knee: soft, level: 90

Section 3: acoustic: bass: 4, mid: 4, treble: 3, mid_f:450hz, gain:45, level: 80, bright: on, cab: ha4x10, mix: 50

no, iam looking for some patches to make my semi-acoustics really shine.

If by shine you mean having a brighter sound, try using the hartke amp model with an exciter. that should be able to make your semi-acoustic bass shine.

Here's a new patch I just came up with. it is a bright punchy bass patch that has plenty of lows. a great patch for recording and live performances.

Clean punch

Section 1: znr: thresh: 17, detect: grnlft, level: 100

Section 2: exciter: bass: 4, treble: 7, level:100

Section 3: Hartke: bass: 3, mid: 4, treble: 5, midfq: 350hz, tube: 50, level: 59, comp: 1, cab: ha4x10, mix: 50

Hey Crystalman,
I've really enjoyed all of your sound demos for a while now. Can you share some compressor settings on the B3 as well?
Thanks,
Brent

Yep, kudos to Crystalman85. I tried out the Clean Punch patch the other day and it's now my current default. I also found uses for the Modernaire and Muse/Starlight patches posted earlier in this thread. Great stuff, thanks.

 

[andreas_flf]

Yes, indeed. Many thanks Crystalman. I am also using several of your patches, albeit I am still in the process of tweaking them some more. But for sure great patches I found useful and liked right away. How about also offering the latest via Google drive? Thanks!

There's about 100 B3 patches in the Zoom B3 Patch Library to download direct into your own B3 via "Invalid Link Removed".

I think there's 35 or so of Crystalman85's earlier patches amongst them.
I haven't had time to upload any more recently.

.......You could upload them yourself andreas_flf !
I set the Google drive up so that any B3 user could upload his/her (or anyone else's) patches.

Hi Guys, glad I found this killer thread! Crystalman, you suppose you know how to create the synth sound for "Madness" by Muse. I just can't seem to get it very close to that sound...

Any help/feedback is immensley appreciated!

 

[Crystalman85]

Crystalman85 thanks for the awesome B3 Patches!! Keep em commin!!

I'll see what I can come with next. thanks for the compliments.

Awesome.

 

[MADChuudoku]

can the B3 do any sort of arpeggiation? or something that sounds close enough?

 

[jovino]

There's a step filter, a random step filter and a stepped pitch delay in there. One of those might do what you like.

Just got my B3 this week. I am still finding my way around the controls and various effects and models. Many interesting, good and funny sounds, and it gets better with some tinkering.

I have been trying to build a nice patch that adds some chorus to my fretless but so far find the chorus sounds a bit cool, artificial sounding. Any suggestions for a nice warm chorus patch that works well for the typical fretless tones?

Try the 'Mix/balance' knob and/or ot a little reverb/air after it...

My fretless patch is Comp>Chorus(varies)>Air
