Now you guys have got me thinking. What's best for me- my B-3 with looper, or build a pedal box with the MS 60B pedal and a Boss RC 2 looper and batch of additional fx?

If you're satisfied with the B3, don't change what you're doing. Comes down to that. I like analog overdrives and fuzzes, I have some wild and awesome pedals that sound fantastic to me. I'm hoping the MS-60 will just help me round out my pedalboard.

I like the ease of selecting and editing patches on the B-3, but I like the looping better on the RC2.I also just got a expression foot pedal for the B3, and that's fun! So I may use both, with an Aguilar compression pedal in the chain. Best of both worlds.

Like many of you here, I am excited to get my hands on an MS-60B, now finally available for sale in the USA.

IMHO, Zoom has a winner on their hands with their ZFX-IV DSP effects processor, which is packed inside both the MS-60B and B3 devices. I, myself, am an avid B3 owner and enthusiast, as evidenced on another Talkbass thread.

As I am sure many here are aware, the MS-60B is much like an improved subset of the B3, meaning that the B3 is capable of producing every tone the MS-60B can and more, however the MS-60B appears to have been given the highly-anticipated v2.0 firmware that B3 owners are craving.

No matter which of these devices you own, rejoice in what I feel is simply the best and most comprehensive DSP available to bass players to date, that is, if you're into that sort of thing! ;)

Cheers!

Well said sir it comes with batteries and the cool thing is it still saves all my stuff even though I'm using my pedal power. I'm going to put the batteries in and really go over all of the functions I can do that while I'm lying in bed great device love this little thing.

Yep, looking forward to implementing some of the same B3 setting suggestions from following your thread with this little guy.

The delays are great I'm not a synth guy so I'm sure I was using them wrong and playing too fast earlier I complained about the tracking it probably was just me they sound good at least. I still can't believe this thing is only $100.00 nice metal housing adjustable contrast and there is even a setting to tell it what batteries you are using alkaline or rechargeable.

Talked with a company rep and he said there will be future updates he didn't want to commit to a time table. I wish they would make an interface that would let us share patches Line 6 does a great job in this area.

I would venture to guess that if you have some favorite patches from another version of the B-series, you can note which effects are combined in that particular patch, and how they are set up, then recreate that on the MS-60B, if it already doesn't exist there.The key would be to be able to find the same individual effects on the MS 60B. There are 4 different Jaco style fretless patches on the B3, and only one on the MS 60B, for example.

Got through the manual and really got a grip on the ins and outs of the pedal it has a beast of a little processor I'm going to spend some time making my patches I like you can recall up to three in a row.
