nothing in particular ... I'm trying to mix chours , delay and volume with an expression pedal
Hi, I only comment to let you know that I am trying this effects on a B1xon and they are really good. Thanks for posting your patches, this is awesome. Thanks @Crystalman85, because I keep some of your presets as mine 
Just started exploring my B3. Here are 10 banks with 10 patches each, right? There appears to be a pre-loaded patch in every spot, so the only way to save a new one is to over-write an existing one. Is that correct?
Do folks look for pre-loaded patches that you'll never use and over-write those? Trying to figure out the best way to manage my patches. Too bad you can't plug a memory stick into the USB slot and get more banks to hold more patches.

Download the software from ZOOM and backup all the patches. You can adjust everything in real time with software and not have to worry about all the menu pages. Then you an add or remove patches from the unit with ease. Much easier and more versatile tha a fash drive.

Thanks, juan...glad the patches helped you out.
Here's a new patch idea I came up with. this patch is an overdriven patch with a significant mid-range presence.
Raunchy mids
section 1: optocomp: drive: 7, tone: 5, level: 50
section 2: t-scream: gain: 30, tone: 50, level: 100, balance: 40
Section 3: b-man: bass: 4, mid: 5, treble: -2, midfq: 300hz, gain: 45, level: 80, deep: off, cab: gk4x10, mix: 50

Hi guys, do you think that we can make our Zoom pedalboards sound like the synth bass in Dr. Alban - No coke ???
Here's another patch idea I came up with. this patch closely duplicates a hiwatt bass amp sound with reduced noise.
Hiwatt bass drive
section 1: znr: thresh: 17, detect: efxln: level: 100
section 2: t-scream: gain: 40, tone: 70, level: 100, balance: 50
section 3: hartke: bass: 4, mids: 4, treble: 3, midfq: 250hz, tube: 50, level: 50, comp: 2, cab: bm4x12, mix: 50

Section 2: metalwrld: gain: 50, tone: 45, level: 100, balance: 25

Groovy tune...I think I got something to get this sound. give this patch a try.

section 3: smr: bass: 3 , mid: 4, treble: 2, midfq: 300hz, gain: 45, level: 70, enhnc: 4, cab: pt1x15, mix: 50
Here's a new patch idea I came up with. this patch is a smooth and warm take on of the mxr m80 bass distortion sound. a great patch for rock and metal music.
MXR metal bass
Section 1: m comp: thresh: 20, ratio: 5, level: 100, attack: 7
Section 2: d.i plus: bass: 4, mid: 3, treble: -2, gain: 80, blend: 25, level: 100, color: on, chan: dist

No suggestion? I tried with equalizer and compressor, but haven't found anything interesting...
Hell Yeahhh! @Crystalman85 I will try it and let you know. Thanks!
Have you tried using the gk amp model? flea gets his sound from gallien-krueger amps and he usually plays musicman basses.
Here's a new patch idea I came up with. this patch is similar to the mxr metal bass patch, only with a gk amp model and a 4x10 cab model for clarity.
MXR metal bass 2
Section 1: m comp: thresh: 20, ratio: 5, level: 100, attack: 7
Section 2: d.i plus: bass: 4, mid: 3, treble: -2, gain: 80, blend: 25, level: 100, color: on, chan: dist
section 3: g-krueger: bass: 4 , mid: 3, treble: -2, midfq: 300hz, gain: 45, level: 90, color: off, cab: swr4x10, mix: 50

Now, searching this tune with Google I find that Dr. Alban sampled the bassline from The Police - The Bed is too big without you
Really....I didn't know that. listening to both tunes, I do hear a similarity. that's interesting to know.
