Zoom MS-60B patch ideas!!!!!

Here's another patch idea I came up with. this patch is a preamp type patch that emulates a classic hard rock/heavy metal bass tone. an excellent patch for playing iron maiden songs.

Vintage metal bass

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

Effect 2: optcomp: drive: 3, tone: 50, level: 59

Effect 3: bass pre: bass: 2, treble: 4, level: 70, mid: 5, freq: 400hz, level: 75

Quick question, has anyone who owns a B3 also been able to find a patch that comes close to the FlipTop sim? I am using the FT on my B3, but would love by free up that slot for an FX. I'm looking for punchy and warm!

I have both the B2.1u and the B3...

I'll try and see what I can come up with when I get some time.

You bring up a good point, because I LOVE the B2 FlipTop patch.

I'll put the patch up and see what I can come up with.

It's not like everyone who owns a zoom ms-60b is gonna save all of these patches on their zoom ms-60b. some of them would like to try something different. which ever sound they like, they would stick with it. and the same goes to the zoom b3.
 
This is a great patch to try out. it's suitable for 80s music, ballads, clean parts for rock and metal songs, and everything else that requires bass chorus sound. it's really an awesome patch.

It reminds me a lot of the MXR Stereo Chorus I had for over a year, which was the best chorus I had played up to that point.
Were you looking for that sound ?

Yeah I know, but man you came up with some killer synths! I'm keeping most of them. I can't remember which which ones you called them but a few of them are very usable and sound great. Good job man.

Not exactly. I'm just a big fan of chorus effects on guitar and bass. and yeah, I can see that the cool bass chorus does seem to resemble the mxr stereo chorus. I'm glad that this patch worked out for you.
