ZOOM B9.1ut

#81
After 22 bids that eBay B9.1ut is up to $155.50 + $30 shipping with 30 hours left on the bidding, so I guess buyers still like the B9.1ut. I prefer the clean lines of the B3 - G3 - G5 line and Edit&Share software, despite some quirks.

We're still having fun with our Zoom G3X effects but I can see how effects might grow tiresome after a while. Fussing over parameters and patch ordering can consume your whole day and leave your spouse feeling neglected.

I read in another thread here that people's B9.1ut orders are cancelled or on perpetual backorder because production was stopped. That was reportedly confirmed by emails to multiple Talkbass members. Zoom will probably keep it on their web page until after all the retail stock is cleared out.

So I got mine about a month ago... and I just now figured out the best way to use it...
Got 80 User Patches right...? And I found the most "change" you get to any sound, other than of course the Pre-Amp/EQ Settings is the Cabinet Selection. So I've found my "Clean" Sound and the top 4 Cabinet Voicings I like with that sound, now that's my U-01,02,03,04... Then I get my PedalWah Effect, find the best 4 Cabs and that's U-21,22,23,24. Then my Flanger, Chorus's, Synths, etc etc etc.... Honestly if you can use more than 20 Different Effect Patches (mind you, most of the time you can have 2 Effects on 1 Patch) in one Gig, then you're Billy Sheehan or Stu Hamm! IMO, this is the best use outta this B9.1ut, Zoom's giving you all these different Effects, 'cause everyone likes different things. But usually, if you like Compressions or "Warm" tones type of Player, then you're not a big "Distortion" guy or vice versa. So do what I did, find you're 20 Best Used Effect/Amp Modelings that you like, then give yourself 4 Different Cab Voicings, or maybe 1 Cab and 4 different EQ Settings... Whatever floats your Boat... And make those your User Patches. You can always go to the P-Banks for the Factory (UnEditable) Patches. Or if you real F@#k Up, Just Turn on the Power Switch While Holding Down the Store Button. Return it to outta the box settings! Oh and BTW, GET THE LIBRIRIAN EDITOR SOFTWARE (& the MIDI/USB Cable obviously)!!! Rock On!

I see it has midi and an effects loop. When you change programs on the unit, can you get it to send program changes or other midi messages so for driving midi effects? Can you move the effects loop around in the program circuit like the other effects? If you can do these two things, then I don't think there is any other product on the market that can compete as a MIDI pedalboard frontend. MIDI clock would be pretty amazing too, though I'm not holding my breath.

I can't remember if you can change the location of the effects loop in the chain - I believe you can - as it has been a while since I have had mine. I know you can assign the effects loop to toggle on/off by a footswitch. I never used MIDI except for using the librarian software but I also believe it sends program change messages.
