ZOOM - B1 FOUR BASS

Description

The Zoom B1X Four Bass multi-effects pedal is a multi-effects processor designed for electric bass. It offers an expression pedal for continuous control of certain effects. Offered as an easy-to-use stompbox, the B1X Four offers a wide range of processing, amp emulations, and other features, such as a built-in 30-second looper and chromatic tuner. With its 68 built-in rhythm patterns, you can add drum loops to your mix, which can be very useful when looping.

Distortion, chorus, and more are available, along with nine bass amp models simulating classic combinations. Some effects benefit from the use of an expression pedal, allowing for smooth, gradual changes in intensity. Pedal operation is digitally adjustable via the B1X Four's display.

Five effects can be chained together at any time and in any order. You can save them to one of 50 user-preset patches. Quickly switch between patches (or patch banks) with a simple foot tap, easily changing your live or studio sound. You can also tweak global characteristics to keep patches harmonious. The three-knob tone stack and global output level knob remain unchanged as you cycle through your sounds.

The pedal offers over 70 different effects, and you can also edit or add them from your computer. Simply connect it to your Mac or Windows computer via a USB cable and add effects from Zoom's Guitar Lab software.

The B1X Four features a 6.35mm instrument input, a 3.5mm input for mobile devices and media players, and a combined amp/headphone output. Powered by four AA batteries, it offers up to 18 hours of battery life. You can also power it with a dedicated ZOOM AD-16 AC adapter or via USB.
