I bought a Zoom B2 that I found on that site with "List" in its name. I got it for 40 bucks with manual and adapter. Can I initiate into your gang? \m/ <-- secret gang hand signal!
Update: Got reply from Zoom. The B9 is discontinued. Cool, I'll just cancel my order. But why would Samash even have it available on their website? Very misleading indeed. Shenanigans!
Maybe they still have some in stock and maybe that's why they still have it on their website.
If that were the case, why the 2-4 week back order then? (Respectfully asked, not argumentative).
I'll give it one more week (completing the 2-4 week wait). If no word from Samash saying it was shipped/received, I'll just cancel the order. Live and learn, I suppose...
I suspect that Samash doesn't even know that they're discontinued ... IMO, not the most switched-on music retailer in America...
the reason the B9 never really took off is because they had too much in one box and that blew out the price... under $300 is important

While Zoom confirmed they are discontinued, they emphasized that they are still on the market and its possible to get a new one. Here's to hoping...
I have a 9. I am glad I spent the money. It's an amazing piece of hardware to say the least. Kinda odd that bass players will spend $900 on a cab, $6-700 on a head, $1,200+ on a bass, but when it comes to signal processing, 300 is considered the cutoff point. I eliminated everything previously in my pedal chain with it and then really went beyond. Maybe I'm just the odd man out, but I found it awesome that I could effortlessly blend from one style of music to the next with this thing. I use it for so much in the band I'm in. I love the pedal synth, which is a lifesaver for sure in a three piece, and the bass synths are really handy to have, the overdrives are really cool, and the amp and cab modeling is surprisingly good. Plus, I can use it as a preamp for my Jazz, or my Ibanez acoustics and do some really great stuff with it. Just ahead of their time, I suppose. But they make some really great stuff. Maybe they'll get the market caught up with it eventually. I dunno.
Zoom G3X owner having fun bringing cellos into the 20th-21st Centuries, and deeply appreciative to the T.B. community for all the help and insights offered here.
I have the B9. I've had it for quite a while, and I've been subbed to this thread since before I got it (almost 2 years ago). I haven't had any need for any other pedal. Number please?
b3, its all i use. looper, drum loops, tuner. its even the same colour as my bass
i have also ran my Yamaha piano through it, then into my computer via usb.
# please?

Hello, I have a B3 and love it, just got the FP02 expression pedal... I bought it used and I have no idea how to make it work. I plug it in and I can effect the volume by pressing the pedal but I really want to effect the amount of distortion/wah/other effects ...is there a detailed video or instructions anywhere that can explain how to set it up for this... the volume pedal is useless to me, I want to be able to go from dry bass to saturated with effect bass with the pedal ya know?!?! Thanks for any info on how to set it up!
