so you don't have to post your patches in that format and i probably will find a more simple way to post mine but there is the first one yall join in!!!
 
Thanks! I might give those effect settings a crack tonight.

I got one 2 weeks ago. It's pretty simple to use but as it's my first multi fx unit & is doing my head in so I've shelved it until I've completed my cradled-up-in-the-fetal-position-because-it's-so-overwhelming therapy. My main problem is getting consistant volume over the presets - I think I get it right, then come back 30 mins later (without turning the unit off) & I'm not happy.

Hopefully I'll be able to add something useful to this thread very soon :)
 
Here's a patch idea that I was thinking of for the zoom ms-60b. this patch came from my zoom b3 patch ideas thread. this patch duplicates the warm distortion sounds of an ebs metaldrive.

Modern bass distortion

Effects 1: znr: thresh: 18, detect: grnlft, level: 90

Effects 2: m comp: thresh:24, ratio:9, level:70, attack:5

Effects 3: metalwrld: gain:40, tone:18, level:100, balance:18

Effects 4: svt: bass:3, mid:2, treble:2, midfq:400hz, gain:45, level:59, ultra:low, cab:ag8x10, mix:59
 
Heres a patch idea from my ms-60b its what i use for a clean tone with extra bass boost

Clean bass boost

Effect 1: Limiter THRSH 31 Ratio 4 Level 80 Rel 3

Effect 2: Mark B amp Bass 6 Mid 5 Trebl 2 Mid_F 250hz Gain 50 Level 80 Color 0 Cab 8x10 mix 50

Effect 3: BassGraphicEQ: 50hz 6 120hz 4 400hz 3 500hz 0 800hz -2 4.5khz -3 10khz-2 level 99

Those synth tones are evil. I have a tame one for emulating a keyboard bass, Prerogativ:
effect 1: Z-syn: Wave saw Decay 97 Tone 4 Freq 0 Range 4 Reso 5 Synth 46 Dry 56 Level 80
effect 2: Bass Pre: Bass 3 Trebl 3 Level 80 Mid 9 Freq 800hz
effect 3: Limiter: THRSH 34 Ratio 4 Level 90 Rel 7

For a tone that cuts in a muddy room, SVT Stabby:
effect 1: BassGraphicEQ: 50hz 0 120hz 5 400hz 0 500hz 5 800hz 0 4.5khz 5 10khz 0 Level 100
effect 2: SVT: Bass -1 Mid 5 Trebl 4 Mid_F 350hz Gain 39 Level 33 Ultra OFF Cab AG 8x10 Mix 50

For a touch of dirt, BBdrivin:
effect 1: BassBB: Gain 12 Bass 3 Trebl 5 Blend 68 Level 70

For thick, beefy fuzz, Jumblefuzz:
effect 1: BassBooster: Gain 46 Bass -1 Trebl -3 Level 35
effect 2: BassBB: Gain 84 Bass 3 Trebl -3 Blend 88 Level 70
effect 3: B-Man amp: Bass -1 Mid 8 Trebl -2 Mid_F 500hz Gain 30 Level 60 Deep OFF Cab BM 4x12 Mix 50
 
no i like your synth and the the SVT Stabby patch they are both very useful and practical. which is something i need more of but have a hard time making for some reason. as much as i like effects from subtle to extreme. i have hard time making tones on the subtle end for some reason.
 
patch idea i just created. this patch is an INSANE synth tone.

Bass Muff Gain 82 Tone 95 Level 45 Mode bsBST Bal 65

I can't say I find this usable for me... But I learned a lot tinkering with this. Thanks.
 
Here's a bunch of patches I've programmed over a few hours over a few days so grab a coffee, your 60B & see what fits ya! For the record, I used my Thumb b/o 5 in passive mode, p/ups centred, finger style & I play over the rear p/up 95% to cop a Jacoesque type tightness & feel, especially as the synth sounds require clean articulation. Still the odd bleep, bloop, quack here n there with some patches due to muting & attacking technique but by n large not bad. I'm an 80's guy, sans mullet, so I was trying for a Howard Jones, Swing Out Sister, Stevie Wonder, EWF cleaner type synth vibe as I'm not a fan of OD/Fuzz & Dist type sounds mostly. These days I'm a hired gun for cover bands so I need to have versatility & the MS60B is a godsend. I'll list the FX from left to right as they appear on the screen, NOT in 1,2,3,4 order from right to left & I'll list the parameter values in order in the same way, toggling through them left to right from page 1. Have fun n tweak away whatever suits your fancy. PS, pardon some corny names, you can take the guy out of marketing but.....
