I bought myself a ZOOM B3 bass multi-effects unit for Christmas. :D I did an absolute ton of reasearch first. There are three or more threads about it over at that place where they talk about bass alot. Most of the posts were positive, so I pulled the trigger on one.

I'm still feeling it out. Lots of options from which to choose. I'm not big on effects for bass, but I wanted a good chorus and digital delay for my new Jazz. So for the price of one high quality chorus I was able to get 100 effects and more.

I like what I am hearing so far. The unit is quiet, unlike most stompboxes. Most importantly it doesn't cut off/truncate the bottom end, or muddy the lows.

The amp simlations are a very pleasent surprise. The SWR and Bassman sims are pretty good.

There's a lot to explore and a lot to like. Here, take a peek for yourself :wink:

I want it. The Bronco offers me quite a lot, but the B3 allows more flexibility and movement . The looper is a nice touch. Please share after you've had a chance to play with it. Maybe I'll get it for myself for my b'day next month.

The drum/rythym patterns are fun to play with...at first. Pick a pattern & tempo and play away. Like working with a straight metronome (has that too) it does help with your timing, but just like a metronome it is inhumanly perfect and relentless and just as quickly becomes annoying. :lol:

My first attempt with the looper was totally lame. Yes, I read the manual first, and I'll read it again and again until I get it. Sheesh :roll:
