I have a B3. It lives in the effects loop of my Bassbone. I only use a couple of patches on it. Mostly the Detune chorus and the Mono SYN. Does Mono SYN carry over to the M60b? Is the M60b noisier ? I also use the mute function when tuning. Bassbone tuner out to a TC Mini.

I'd like some pedal board real estate back... but only if those functions transfer over and the noise floor doesn't increase. The B3 will go to my practice rig...

Both of those would carry over, noise floor is the same as far as I remember. The nice part of the 60b is you could add three more effects to each of those and run them as a patch. The tricky part is moving between patches (PM me if you want to discuss this in detail). You might want to consider a true bypass loop pedal. You could use the tuner in the Zoom and sell the mini. The tuner in the 60b is great.
J!

Something to watch for is whether the MS60B gets the same treatment as the MS-50G, which Zoom just gave a huge boost by unveiling a new firmware v3.0, which allows access to an Effect Manager for adding/deleting the full list of effects from the Zoom Stompshare App. They also added 72 additional effects (the ones not checked in the graphic below.

Wow. That's a huge step up.

Wow, if the ms60b gets an update like that then I'll be very glad I didn't jump right in the b3n. Just bought a b1on again too.

I posted this the other day but here it is for reference here too, another way to get to patches quickly by using an irig blueboard pedal. I used it on last night's gig and it was good. Midibridge kept sleeping though so once in a while if the blueboard didn't register to the ms60b I'd have to bring midibridge to the foreground for a second. There's a setting to address that but maybe I didn't select it right. With this, scrolling through patches with the ms60b footswitch still works as well, so it gives you some options.



Oh, and check out @drdashdot program that he made, you can save and reorder your ms60b patches with it, very handy. It works with most of the zoom pedals.
