Zoom B3 vs B2?

I asked the same question on the other thread

 

I'm intrigued too. I've a B2.1u, adds a little fuzz and has a drum machine which comes in handy for woodshedding,

However I've read on one of the B3 threads that it has a better interface and cab modelling - cool but I'd like to hear from someone who has used both for more than a few minutes... I'm gonna read the other thread a bit, I won't be getting a B3 in the next week or two anyway so no mad rush. Good thread though.

Multieffects keeps the pedal count, and cost down - not that I'm a huge effect fan myself.

>subscribed!

 

Well the thing is that I use an auto wah, and octaver and maybe a synth bass, or phaser if I'm feeling strange. B ut the effects i turn on or off as I need.

As it stands I use a blanck patch on A5, Octaver on A4, and Auto Wah on A5.

A3 Synth
A7 Phaser.

This way i don't have to click too many times.

I suppose the stomp config would make that easier.... but it is still money for convenience....

 

The B3 has an Active/Passive switch; the B2 doesn't. WHat happens if I plug an Active bass into the B2? Will it fry it? If that's the case, then I may need to get the B3.

 

Yeah, I've used the phaser to good effect on my attempts at the thin lizzy track 'waiting for an alibi'
Super cool with a pick - but I'm never going to master pick playing, not until I get fingerstyle 100% anyhoo (which is never).

B7 is a favourite - tubey & compressed sounds nice and thick, but I'm playing through a telebass so thick comes pretty ready anyway!

I find the 'double stomp' bypass is a bit of a pain but the tuner works good, the pedal is fairly quiet and I can add a tube screamer & an autowah if I feel like some craziness (D9 or something).
