Lol this sounds more like a cover than a rip-off. also I thinking of that song when I made the patch(the original that is). other than rock and metal, I am a fan of dance music.

Hey! Just thought I'd chime in quickly! I'm a newbie to the Zoom B3 and can only say that it is such a wicked pedal to have! I had a different multi effects pedal in the past and it was not so user friendly so off it went. I really dig the ease of this one. The modeling and pedal tones are unreal! I watched a few YouTube vids as part of my research and the one that struck me was the sansamp a/b comparison. Wow! If someone can tell the difference they are a wizard of some sort. Anyway, I'll be following and trying some of the patches I find here. One quick question.
Once a factory patch has been replaced with one that I've made is it possible to rename it? I haven't read the instructions back to back yet. Just getting familiar. Thanks!

So I've figured out how to rename all the patches. This thing is really easy to use after spending some time with it. I'm going to order the foot switch. Anybody have one? How do you like it?
I got an expression pedal instead of a foot switch. I wish both at once was an option, although I honestly haven't found myself in any situation where I needed the foot switch.
I think it's clearly mentioned on the instragram page that the guy uses darkglass pedals and judging from the clip it sounds just like it. so perhaps this modified patch might help.
Section 1: m comp: thresh: 20, ratio: 5, level: 100, attack: 7
Section 2: metalwrld: gain:25, tone: 45, level: 100, balance: 18
Section 3: svt: bass: 3, mid: 4, treble: -2, midfq: 300hz, gain: 40, level: 40, ultra:both, cab: ag1x15, mix: 50

Plugged these three patches in and a couple of my own tonight. Thanks for the direction! I'm new to the digital pedal world and this, and the other thread, help a ton. I'm really enjoying the Zoom!

For a Motown / Jamerson sound with an old Precision with new flats, I'm trying this out. It's a little bright, but it's a start. May add foam to the bridge.
* Jamerson / Motown
Effect 1: Bottom B. bass: 2, treble: 5, level: 50
Effect 2: 160 Comp. thrsh: -22, ratio:4.0, gain:6, knee: hard, level: 100
Effect 3: Flip Top: bass: 0, mid: 2, treble: -1, mid_f: 200hz, gain: 60, level: 90, ultra: low, cab: 1x15ag, mix: 60
Any tweaks, suggestions or your own patches welcome!

There is a Google Drive library (link here) but, according to the title, apparently someone was eager to try out what the 'delete' feature would do so it is not complete and, I guess, not updated anymore...
I have two more links (small and they might overlap): .: Guitar effect patches for zoom B3 :. and Zoom B3 sound samples and patches - cgraham.com
It would be cool to have a central library though. Maybe @Crystalman85 would be willing to share his files and someone would step up to maintain the library?
Yeah, that's the unfortunate downside of having a shared drive without access control or version management. @Crystalman85 what's your take?
