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
so i finaloly got around to trying this patch and seriously everyone should try this it is awesome. it will be staying on my 60B thanks Crystalman85 looking forward to seeing more patches from yu and im definately gonna check out your b3 patches
jumblemind i love your filter patched they are way better than the ones i've been trying to make.

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.....

That's it for now, more to come in the future. Glen
Ok here's an issue I'm having. I just put together some patches that jumblewinds posted. I put the progativ patch in the stomp mode. I disengage the so the light goes out but the effect is still on. It doesn't bypass the effect. How do I bypass the patch I'm in if its in stomp mode? My 70cdr does it fine. I don't get why my 60b doesn't. If I'm in a factory patch on the 60b, lets say the SVT patch. If I'm in that patch in stomp mode and I bypass it, it goes to my clean sound. But if I'm in a patch I've made, it won't bypass.

Well, in stomp mode, the switch only turns on/off whichever pedal is on screen. The SVT is just a single pedal model, so you can stomp it on and off in stomp mode since it's the only pedal to be on screen. For a multi-pedal patch the only way to do the whole thing is to put a Line Selector in the effect 1 spot and leaving it on screen. Then stomping that will bypass the whole patch as an on/off. Prerogativ is only three pedals, so you have room to add the Line Selector to it.
And thanks for the synth love. I'll add some more when i get a chance. I'm really diggin the MovinStereo, just need to test it out live.

Anytime, dude. I figure since the zoom ms-60b has the boss metal zone model and the ampeg svt model, I can be able to create the modern bass distortion patch idea on the pedal. and I would say that if I was out of reach of owning an ebs metaldrive, the zoom ms-60b would be my 2nd choice to create that sound. If I can come up with some other patch ideas for the zoom ms-60b, I will share them here.
