Zoom b3 patch Ideas

[Crystalman85]

Here's a new patch I came up with. the patch closely duplicates the heavy sounds of a boss md-2 mega distortion with a noise gate added for reduced noise.

Mega bass distortion

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

Section 2: overdrive: gain: 70, tone: 30, level: 100, balance: 25

Section 3: fliptop: bass : 4, mid: 4, treble: 3, midfq: 300hz, gain: 45, level: 80, ultra: low, cab: ag8x10, mix: 50

Here's another patch idea I came up with. this patch is similar to the thick metal bass patch. this patch closely duplicates the thick distorted sounds of a dod boneshaker with the marshall super bass amp model adding some beef to the distorted patch.

Thick metal bass 2

Section 1: limiter: thresh: 20, ratio: 4, level: 90, release: 4

Section 2: metalwrld: gain: 40, tone: 50, level: 100, balance: 25

Section 3: super b: bass: 4, mid: 4, treble: 5, midfq: 250hz, gain: 40, level: 80, cab: ag1x15, mix: 50

Hello together,

I hope you can help me out. I have a problem with my ZOOM B3 Edit&Share software. When I open my library PC Folder, the only files I can open seem to be *.b3a files. All my files have the ending .b3p.

Can soneone help me out with this please ?

Thanx

Hi to everyone!

I'm looking for a "ambient sound" like these:




I made various experiments, but I was not able to emulate those sounds :-(

Can someone please help me?

Thanx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, any good news about the emulación of theses ambient effects with the B3?

Hi Crystalman,
Any chance you could try to make a Spock's Beard patch? Dave Meros is a fantastic player as are all of the guys in the band. Try listening to The Light. You will hear Dave's monster tone!

Section 2: t-scream: gain: 40, tone: 50, level: 100, balance: 25

I took a listen to the light by spock's beard and parts of the song sounds like a bright tube sound with some chorus. and the other part sounds like there's some distortion added. give this patch a try and see if this works out for you.

Spock's beard(clean)

Section 1: m comp: thresh: 17, ratio: 4, level: 90, attack: 5

Section 2: stereo chorus: depth: 70, rate: 25, mix: 50, locut: 180hz, level: 90

Section 3: svt: bass: 4, mid: 3, treble: 2, midfq: 200hz, gain: 30, level: 35, ultra: both, cab: e4x10, mix: 50

Spock's beard(distorted)

Section 1: overdrive: gain: 5, tone: 10, level: 90, balance: 15

Section 2: stereo chorus: depth: 70, rate: 25, mix: 50, locut: 180hz, level: 90

Section 3: svt: bass: 4, mid: 3, treble: 2, midfq: 200hz, gain: 30, level: 35, ultra: both, cab: e4x10, mix: 50

Not quite sure if this patch would work, but give it a try. if that doesn't work, try using the aguilar amp model with a sansamp model.

Here's another patch I came up with. this patch closely duplicates the warm overdriven sounds of a fuzzrocious dark driving.

Dark bass drive

Section 1: limiter: thresh: 20, ratio: 5, level: 90, release: 4

Section 2: t-scream: gain: 40, tone: 50, level: 100, balance: 25

Section 3: monotone: bass: 4, mid: 3, treble: 2, midfq: 300hz, gain: 50, level: 70, char: flat, cab: pt1x15, mix: 50

Too cool! Thank you! Dave was using a Rick 4003 back then into a Digitech Rp20 guitar multi effect usually into Eden amps and cabs. Later he used a heavily modified Rick 4003 with 4 Jazz bass pickups! into a Digitech Rp21 which he still uses. Thanks again!

Yeah, I'm interested in trying to find something ambient as well. Is it me or is the syth effect the weak spot of the b3?

 

[bassbrad]

I getva lot of mileage out of the Zoom synths on both the B3 & B2.1u. Synth sounds are a starting place add some drive and modulation and they will come to life.

Oh so he uses a digitech rp with his rig. that would explain the distorted sounds I heard from the song. hope the patch I posted helped you out.

Here's a new patch idea I came up with. this patch is similar to the empress metal bass patch. only with an ampeg svt model for a tube-emulated approach.

Empress metal bass 2

Section 1: limiter: thresh: 20, ratio: 4, level: 90, release: 4

Section 2: metalwrld: gain: 40, tone: 50, level: 100, balance: 25

Section 3: svt: 4, mid: 4, treble: 5, midfq: 250hz, gain: 40, level: 45, ultra: low, cab: ag1x15, mix: 50

Okay, I'll give it a shot. Thanks

Pardon me for not reading this entire 63 page thread, but are all of these patches collected somewhere? If not, I think it would be a great idea. Thanks!

I started uploading the patches themselves to my Google Drive a couple of years ago. There were well over 100. Then someone accidentally deleted them all (not me!) and I gave up after re-uploading as many as I had backed up elsewhere.
I'll try to link it here. Struggling on my cell phone atm.
.
I think there's a couple of other guys who did a similar thing. I'm sure they'll chime in.

EDIT: It's all early stuff from Crystalman85's "Zoom B3 Patch Ideas" thread. As I said, I gave up after so much was deleted by someone! LOL!
