Zoom MS-60B Firmware Update 2.0 (June 2017)

Officially excited :) (am I the only one here?)
I have a 60b on my nano board, and am really loving the TS model for overdrive. Not sure whether to kick the MXR BOD or Sonic Spark off the board to fit this little sucker...probably the MXR.

This looks promising, but i have no experience with controllers like this....

That said, I ended up modding the MS pedal to use an external switch to toggle through the fx chain. Then I can simply engage any of the fx as needed. It's exactly what I've been missing from this pedal! And I also gave it a face lift,

Sweet, could you have a switch like that to scroll up down patches, that would be my dream come true.
 
I just checked and the b1on has less than half the sounds available on the MS60.
Dunno where you saw that misinformation...
The B1on originally had 75 and was upgraded to 100 in 2014.
The MS-60B (no longer made ?) originally had 58 and was upgraded to 142 in 2017 - among others adding the much requested "Dumpster Accordion" and "Roadkill Weasel" emulations ;) .

Hi all - first time poster here. I’m considering an ms60b but was wondering if it’s possible to have an octave up and down simultaneously like the tc subnup. If you apply the pitch shifter (up) after the octaver would it not “up” the sub and the dry both. Is there a way to parallel the effects to produce the up and sub and then combine. I don’t think so but wonder if anyone has found a clever solution to this?

Yes, it does with Z-Organ; but you'd need the firmware update to access this.
