I wanna say the noise you're getting on the pedal is from the compressor limiter setting that they have in the patches, i recommend if you're ever making a patch to turn this option off, at least that's how it is with my b2 pedal, i don't have the usb one.
@Pigasustheimmortal of course you could also get 500 k audio potentiometers and that'll reduce the noise pick up, made a beautiful improvement on my bass.
hey your reviews on zoom b and a 2.1u are nice. But i've a zoom g2.1u and i can't din't your review on it. If you have one. . Pls give me the link to it. It'd help a lot
hey, i have the Zoom b2 (without the expression pedal) and C5 doesnt work at all, it just has a regular sound on it, same for D2 (exept D2 has no sound at all for me), the sounds worked for about 5 minutes, untill i turned my amp off, then turned it back on later, and A3, C5, and D2 have never worked since then.
@ZED305 Switching between that many would be tricky. What would be better would be to save the effects you want in the saveable patches, customize your own, and that shit. Of course, I've gotten used to fast changing on stage. Takes a little practice, the latter.
I have a Zoom G1X guitar effects pedal. Do you know if it will be okay for playing bass, meaning it might not sound optimal, but it won't harm the electronics?
Great video but I think zoom makes some of the worse effect boxes I had one for the guitar and like this one it had only a few useable presets and the user settings take way too much effort
Thanks, G. Not sure if it's something I want but you gave a nice demo which is more than I can say for some of the so-called "knowledgeable" and "helpful" salespeople at my local music stores.
this is great, I was at the store unsure if I wanted to buy this, and now that i've listened to this and what it can do I'm definitely sold! Thanks very helpful!
@MikelSeo just thinking that same thing =] i use a behringer super fuzz for it, it sounds the same as the live recordings, its only about $35, really high quality.
@HELLJUMP3R7 oh. okay. But i don't have a good impresion of behringer Coz last time i bought a berighner stompbox(it was called heavy metal i think) for my electric guitar and it was really bad.
@MikelSeo not sure about them i've only ever owned the super fuzz but its a hell of a nice pedal you should really get it if you're a bassist. never had any problems with it plus its only about $35 USD (£25 GBP)
Three questions: Can I use wah and distortion at the same time? Would you recommend this as a first multieffect pad? And how is that connected to an amp?
An Amzing video, but it does not do justice to the pedal. I haven't seen any video showcase the abilities of a pedal like this, nothing nearly this well. But the pedal has let me create some really awesome sounds for my bass, definitely do not regret buying. Just don't do what i did and use old remote batteries - nearly died mid-show.
Thanks very much :-) I think ZOOM should pay you some money as I'm buying the pedal because of this demo as I couldn't find a music store to try it out myself :-D
anyone know where I can find the names of all the default patches? The names used in this video aren't in the manual and I've looked some and can't find them online.
nice! I like C4 and i think A4. I love how he was playing Aeroplane with C4 for the Flea-based effect. I think I'm going to buy this on amazon when I get the money. Thanks for the vid. =)
intro too loud...i've got zoom b2(had it for 2 years now) but i still want this one with the "wah-pedal"....also what bass are you using in this video?
@bangaroodong Sorry i know you posted that comment two months ago lol.
But can you tell me how to program effects into the Zoom B2, i'm considering buying it but i don't want to buy extra leads to plug it into my computer to program effects.
I'm guessing you don't need to plug into a computer but i don't understand why this Zoom B2.1u has a usb feature.
a qué te referís con bajarle el tono al bajo?? Si querés saber si tiene opciones de pitch shift, como poder tocar una 5tas, 6tas, 8vas abajo... entonces si, puede hacerlo.
I plugged my guitar in it, it sounds ok, obviously some effects don't sound as great but some of them such as the distortion ones are ok. If you're gonna get a pedal, just get the guitar version
got some pimpin shoes bro, beast bass effect too
