I think the Zoom passed the test, such a great pedal, and I have upgraded it to my main board, it will serve as phaser and some delays for now, and something else that I can come up with in the future.

Zoom MS-60B+ (a compact B2-Four?)
- Thread starter Al Krow
- Start date
Does anyone know if there will be a hack to include all new ms+ pedals into one as the first versions?
I managed to kludge together some Apple adapters to get my old iPad talking to my new Zoom MS-60B+. So that's one small step for a bassist, one giant blow to Apple's 2024 donglopoly revenue 
Thanks all for helping me troubleshoot the issue (which was, as you suspected, that I'd bought a power adapter cable and not a data cable).
Now: I'm trying to recreate the sound of a good old rock and roll Ampeg SVT, using this pedal, a FRFR clean amp and a FRFR cabinet. Can anyone share their experience of which compressor, preamp and amp/cab settings I could use to achieve this?
(My guess would be the Glam Compressor into a 1073 preamp and then the AMPGSVT? But I'm just starting out with this pedal, and so I may be way off in these guesses.)
Thanks as always for any advice.

That would be a great place to start! The Glam and the 1073 were two of my favorites when I had the B+.I managed to kludge together some Apple adapters to get my old iPad talking to my new Zoom MS-60B+. So that's one small step for a bassist, one giant blow to Apple's 2024 donglopoly revenue

i use the MS-60B+ for the bass amps (no cabs)
i use the Opus for Dyn-IR CABS, power amps, post processing AND ESPECIALLY the balanced XLR output.
i don't use the Opus preamps.
2 PEDAL FULL RIG, XLR to FOH and separate 1/4" to stage amp.
I thought the zoom amp+cab sims were tied at the hip? Does the cabinet level adjust the balance between pre amp and cabinet, or amp+cab and your dry signal? Any particular reason to not use opus pre, or just happened to find one you like more in zoom? I appreciate your insight!
Somehow I missed that the MS-60B+ allows you to balance between pre & post cab. That's another significant difference from the B2 Four. And it makes sense since a pedal would be part of a "collection" where you might want to pair it with a different cab loader. Down the road, I expect Zoom will expand their multi-layer IR cap options, then add a second plus sign to the product names.
level adjust controls the amount of cab influence on the preamp.
i have it set to zero and use the OPUS for all CAB duties.
i prefer the MS-60B+ preamps to the Opus preamps.

The power supply should have a standard 2.1mm connector. It should be TIP-NEGATIVE. The output amps should be 500mA or greater (more output amps is fine, but a lower number is not fine).
IMPORTANT: the MS-60B+ and others in this series have a recessed power jack. This means that the plug end CAN'T be a right angle, it also means that the plastic housing around plug can't be too wide (thick).
good point.
i had the recessed jack challenge with my Zoom B3 and CIOKS power supply cables.
I had to order the longer barrel cable to fit the B3.
i think my NU>X MG-30 has a similar recessed jack.
Hello everyone,
I want to set up my a high-pass filter at 30Hz on my MS-60B+. Can this device do this? All was able to find was the low shelf EQ.

I recently got a B3. I know I'm late to the Zoom thing. I am having a lot of fun. I have a problem now, adjusting too much.
there's both a HPF and a LPF. The low EQ can be set as a HPF, while the High EQ can be set as a LPF. And yes, you can set the HPF to 30 Hz.

How do you like tha Superego+?I think the Zoom passed the test, such a great pedal, and I have upgraded it to my main board, it will serve as phaser and some delays for now, and something else that I can come up with in the future.
