Product Rating Product Review It does exactly what I was looking for. It has very good versions of all the bass effects I ever need. I am particularly impressed with its ability to mimic the Sansamp DI which I own.

Product Review I have a Zoom B2 - nice unit but difficult to program. The B3 seemed much easier to work with especially with the graphic displays. Since I only need a max of three effects + chromatic tuner, I decide to buy the B3 and I'm VERY glad that I did. There are a lot of FX that are really good and a few that I didn't like at all - but that's me. I really like the HPS pitch shifter - if you're experienced in working with harmonizers this is really helpful in filling out the sound of a 3 piece band. The unit is well built and solid with XLR out, active/passive switch, an "econ" mode when using batteries, PLUS a USB port and software to program the unit on your computer. The B3 is a great product - I should have gotten one of these when they first came out but at least I have one now.

Product Review I was very surprised at the processing of this pedal. The effects included sound true to their stomp box counterparts and some even sound better than the original(Specifically the amp models and distortion and eq). This is a very sturdy and well built product, however you'll find it a but of a pain to quickly switch between patches.(Theres an extra footswitch you can purchase to combat this). 3 LCD screens make it very simple to customize your sound, but saving patches takes quite a bit of work.(You cannot overwrite the current patch, causing you to have to swap it with another, then storing it in that place.......) If your looking for a moderately priced multi-effects pedal, I highly recommend this one.

In a word- metal! No not the music genre, but rather the material that the red top cover and the bottom plate is made of. No cheap plastic here, at least not in the body. The thing "feels" solid and the power chord is a snug fit (no one hates to lose power when things get interesting!). Build quality is top notch- that simple. The software is awesome. Nothing like customizing your sound and knowing that no matter what happens with the on-board memory you've got it backed up. Also the looper is a GREAT addition. I also bought the optional expression pedal, and while it's not exactly intuitive when defining what it can control, I am learning. I was a tad leery of a multi-effects pedal, especially given the lackluster tones past models have produced. Tones are generally A/A- with the occasional B+ thrown in. Your general opinion of this product. Overall it's a solid 4 stars. The only big negative is the case molding. If the lower section that the three stomp-box buttons are set into was like 1/2" higher, then I wouldn't be able to accidentally knock the knobs with my shoe. It comes down to my enthusiasm and size 13 clumsiness, but raising that bottom portion up *another* 1/2" (it's already elevated above the knobs about 1/2") would have made it screw-up proof. Heavy and chunky, but in a multi-pedal that's a good thing. This thing generally doesn't slide around. There's plenty of ways to tweak your sound as well as discover some new ones. D) All of the above. (It's a multi-effects pedal after all). Flawless. I'm not big on the burgundy color, but they didn't exactly ask. Personally I would have went with dark green... N/A. I will say that it was well packed in the box, so I wasn't at all worried about it being DOA from sliding around in the package.

Seems to be physically well made and sturdy. Sometimes a little inflexible moving between menus. Best feature is the amount of usable effects. There are some I would probably never use, but I do like a lot of what exists and some of the factory presets too. Nice tone, no feedback or hum while in use. Your general opinion of this product. I rated this a 4. I don't like the lack of factory reset or seperate user presets and believe the wah pedal should have been included at this price. That being said, I really like the unit and many of the sounds and presets. I did opt for the wah pedal. Moving back and forth between rhythm, looper, and patches could be better designed. Nice shade od red and displays are fine too.
