VanDam93: Nope, neither one does. But as far a value is concerned when comparing to other models, these two are right up there. I'd rather have the tone and ease of use and Zoom does that as well as anyone. Features are nice, but for well under a Franklin you get good sound, period.

great job man! thanx for the tutorial, very useful for me. u have chosen some of the effects i was looking for, such as the floyd and the crimson ones...just tryin to re create hysteria sonund with this thing...maybe it would not be possible what do u think?
Thanks for posting this. It gives us a really nice overview of what this little inexpensive pedal can accomplish in the right hands. I also like the fact that this thing has beat simulator for practicing. Good job.
Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate this. I am looking for an effects pedal that isn't going to break the bank. I did have a Line 6 Bass Pod which was more expensive and I'm sorry I sold it. But this seems like a fun box to play around with. Thanks again.
YouTube pulls through again. It's one thing to read reviews of a product, and another to see what you can actually do with it. I'm considering getting it for my daughter. If she gets good, she can upgrade. Cheers,
Hmm... Great video.. Do you have any suggestions on how to create the same kinda bass sound which is heard on social distortions don't drag me down track? Can it be done with this pedal?
For everyone trying to get the muse big muff sound (e.g hysteria, citizen erased etc.) I found that Fuzz Factory together with EQ low set on full, EQ middle on 5 and EQ high set on 15 works good. Everything else set to OFF.
I brought my son to his drum lesson and spied the B1x and came home direct to YT to look for videos so I could hear the sound of it... Thanks for this vid! I'm sold on it and am awaiting payday to get me a B1X! Thanks again! WHEEEEE!!!
That was a good demo, thanks (and your playing ain't that bad, give yourself a little credit). I love the B-1 and want to use some of your settings. This would be a 5 except for the profanity.
got my bass the start of the year & thats me just got one of this bod boys off Amazon.£64...so id say im new to both! anyone want to show me some easy moves to get me started (scales..blaa blaa) BIG SHOT OUT TO ALL BASS PLAYERS. ah ah im ass kissin i know!
I just got this pedal and is so awesome! although I have the same question with you xD if anyone has any good settings for it, could you please tell me? thnx
thanks for posting this tutorial vid. I also bought that little red magic box. you can get it in Europe for only 49 EUR. it's great for practise and study at home, but I wouldn't use it heavy-duty on stage as the case is made of plastic. it features a tuner and a rhythm function, also an AC adapter is included. Great buy for this price!
When you first turn on the device, and you get an AU in the display, press both buttons simultaneously and u get a bp in the display. This is the tuner mode.
i entered the settings for the anesthesia sound into my b1x, but it still functions with auto-wah, even though i have the expression pedal, is there a way to use the pedal to control wah, thanks?
I like the pedal for messing aroung with at home and practus but as far as playing on stage I dont like it I like to go from straight bass playing to whatever it is I want to use. on this you got to click threw 40 eff before you get the one you want so it makes it hard in a live gig the drums are good for practus but other than that I dont use it. they are fun to mess with though
ok, i know this might be a very stupid question, but...here i go....is it possible to use the B1X as a "direct inject box"? I mean you can use it with phones, i was just wondering if it could be used with a recording control panel without causing any damage to the equipement...thanks to anyones answer!
big tks for this vid , ive started to use my bass that i had in the closet for 2 years ... some days ago =) . and your vid its gona make buy 1 pedal of those ... once i get some more skill ( so i can use it properly =) ) great tunes btw ! Have u tried to "emulate" the sound of Tool - 46&2 btw ? ... rly nice bass sound in the beggining of that music
hey man excellent work but I dont know if u can find out the particular bass sound of Flea from Red hot chilli peppers.. I know u can do it lol...XD... thanks man...
nah... the distortion fx sound a little artificial IMHO. you should go for the Big Muff, there's no better distortion for bass! (check "Bliss" by Muse to get an idea of how it sounds)
finally! i found a vid that demonstrates it! i been thinkin about gettin the x version, but dunno if the pedal worth the extra money, but i think ill go 4 it anyz, looks awsomme(H)
I've bought this device yesterday and tortured all night. Now we both are happy. It sounds very good and seems to me that this is what I've looking for.
This is a great bass effect, but I can't find out how to get a really good bass synth sound, like the bass sound on "Dolce Vita" (Ryan Paris) Is there anyone hwo can make a bass sound ´like that with the Zoom B2 unit??
Very helpul... Great job! I'd like to ask you if you think the time it takes to change effects/patches (I don't really know how to call it) is fast enough to be used on stage?
cool video guy...I was undecided to buy it 'coz I'm a beginner, but, holy crap, it doesn' t cost much and the sounds you make out of it are fucking good.
any clues for Sade 'Smooth Operator' or Jamiroquai 'Love Foolosophy' ? ive played those with just a fretless simulaton but im sure that it doesnt really sounds like it should.
