My active Squier Deluxe Jazz V, now running a glockenklang preamp, works great with the B3.
It also works very well with a zoom B2.1u, as well

Zoom b3 patch Ideas

Here's a new patch I came up with. this patch was inspired by a certain youtube clip. this patch has a tube-emulated sound with some extra punch resulting in creating a warm punchy bass sound.
Beef 2
Section 1: znr: thresh: 17, detect: efxln, level: 90
Section 2: exciter: bass: 5, treble: 7, level: 100
Section 3: bass driver: bass: 4, treble: 3, presence: 0, gain: 57, blend: 70, level: 90, mid: 7
Here's the clip that inspired me to create this patch.

Here's another patch I came up with. this patch has a warm overdrive patch that's suitable for hard rock and heavy metal music.
Warm overdrive
Section 1: m comp: thresh: 23, ratio: 5, level: 90, attack: 7
Section 2: t scream: gain: 30, tone: 70, balance: 40, level: 90
Section 3: acoustic: bass: 4, mid: 5, treble: 3, midfq: 400hz, gain: 45, level: 90, bright: off, cab: ac1x18, mix: 50

Totally...I use to own a zoom b2.1u before I've upgraded to the zoom b3 and it was an awesome multi-effects processor.
Hey Crystalman85!
I tried out your "hard rock preamp" patch last night at my gig.
Wow! Nice sound! I am playing country music on a Casady bass and the response on that patch was spot-on as a butt-kickin' tone that I stayed with all night! You are truly a Wizard of the Zoom B3 for all your wisdom on it! Man, keep up the good work! Kuddos

Thanks, bluesbasshound. glad the patch worked out for you.
Patch suggestion for Psycho Killer?
Got 3 gigs this weekend, and not enough time to do everything I want with my brand new B3

I took a listen to the bass sounds of those songs and I would say that the psycho killer bass tone sounds like an acoustic bass amp with a low warm distortion. the brian wilson bass tone seems simple. to me, it sounds like a smooth warm bass sound. here's what I came up with for the sounds you're looking for.
Psycho killer
Section 1: znr: thresh: 17, detect: gtrln, level: 100
Section 2: bass bb: gain: 10, bass: 5, treble: 4, blend: 40, level: 80
Section 3: acoustic: bass: 4, mid: 7, treble: 3, midfq: 500hz, gain: 45, level: 90, bright: off, cab: ac1x18, mix: 50
Smooth warm bass
Section 1: m comp: thresh: 25, ratio: 7, level: 90, attack: 7
Section 2: bottom b: bass: 5, treble: 4, level: 50
Section 3: acoustic: bass: 4, mid: 5, treble: 4, midfq: 450hz, gain: 40, level: 90, bright: off, cab: ag8x10, mix: 50
Okay Crystalman, you continue to pound out the awesome patches so I'm turning to you for some help. The song is Moving In Stereo by The Cars.
I've tried using the Octave but it wasn't sounding right so I switched to the Pitch SHFT (12, 2, 12, -16, 75) along with Z Tron (-1, 3, 100, 75) and a 160 Comp to even things out. I think its close, but I would love to see (hear) your take on Ben Orr's sound on this track.
Thanks for all you other awesome patches.

Anytime, dude. the sound I was able to fine to duplicate that sound would be the monopitch model. also it sounded like it was used with a tube amp. here's what I've came up with.
Moving in stereo
Section 1: znr: thresh: 18, detect: gtrln, level: 90
Section 2: monopitch: shift: -12, tone: 4, balance: 80, fine: 7, level; 100
Section 3: svt: bass: 3, mid: 4, treble: 2, midfq: 350hz, gain: 45, level: 59, ultra: low, cab: ac1x18, mix: 50
Also don't forget next time to post a youtube clip of a certain sound from a song you want to duplicate.
Great Patch ideas !
I'm rediscovering my Zoom B3.
I'm currently tearing my hair out trying to emulate the sound of Nathan East on Daft Punk "The Game of Love".
Anyone to help me with these super powered lows / Mids End ?

Sounds to me like it's a warm bass sound with a mid-range boost. here's what I came up with.
Game of love
Section 1: znr: thresh: 18, detect: gtrln, level: 95
Section 2: optcomp: drive: 5, tone: 45, level: 50
Section 3: b-man: bass: 4, mid: 5, treble: 0, midfq: 250hz, gain: 45, level: 59, deep: off, cab: swr4x10, mix: 50
Again where is grnlft on the ZNR effect? All I can find is gtrIn or efxIn. No such thing as grnlft.
Now I understand.. it looks like that is a typo and the post should have read
"grtln" but I did not write it so I could be wrong.
But this picture from the manual seems to make sense of it.
Hope this clears it up for you.
Oh okay...I see that it's gtrln. not grnlft. I always thought it was grnlft which stands for ground lift. I must of misread it. and now I see that it's actually gtrln which stands for guitar line. I'm guessing that efxln stood for effects line. sorry for the mix up. I have oftenly use the gtrln with the zrn model because I would of thought that help reduce more noise like a ground lift. but now I see that it has a different purpose. once again, sorry for the mix up.
