Giorgio Terenziani presents Zoom B3n // Test&Overview

[@giorgioterenziani]

Check out also my test of a super tool GCE-3 by Zoom it's an audio card, but also a simulator... to me it's a must have! Here the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/o327p6aIhKiWd68

[@olroymtbetc.6117]

Sure wish I had seen this video when I first got my b3n. Would have saved me a great deal of frustration. It really isn't all that difficult, as you've shown here, but, for an old, first time user of any kind of pedal, it's a little daunting. This is probably the best video on using the b3n on KZbin. And, to be honest, your English is much cooler than if it were your native language! Oh, and new sub here!

[@hasansalameh1170]

This is a great video. Thank you very much. A lot of people love to show off the amp models, but not talk about just using it straight as a pedalboard This helped tremendously.

[@1sortedman]

Great demo Giorgio! Thank you for taking the time to make this demo as it help others decide whether this Zoom pedal is a good investment or not also do not aploligize for your English , it was pefectly understandable for the purposes of your video, which has now convinced me to buy this pedal when i next upgrade my bass amplification set up,

[@Liberty4Ever]

Thank you for this video. It was a better B3n demo than any I've seen, and I've watched several, including the Zoom demo video. You're video wasn't a frantic tour of all the patch effects and it also wasn't a confusing "magic trick" demo that demonstrated what was possible while trying not to show how it's done. You showed me what I wanted to see so I could actually see how the B3n is used, how to activate and deactivate patches, how to edit patches, etc. You also took time to demonstrate the tuner, which may seem like a trivial thing to experienced users but to people considering the purchase of a B3n with no experience this is very useful information. I mostly wanted to see how the looper worked, and while you didn't spend a lot of time on that portion of the demo, it was still FAR better than the other B3n looper demo videos I've seen. It was a great demo video because you didn't merely demonstrate what the B3n could do, you took the time to show us how to use it. Knowing what equipment is capable of doing is of little value if we don't understand how to use it, so we can't judge whether it would be useful for how we'd use the equipment for the way we play. And finally, thank you for making the effort to make an English video as a non-native English speaker. It was much appreciated. You need not apologize for your English. I learned more from your B3n video than all of the others combined.

[@---tz9bd]

Thank you for the great video....and excellent, fast and precise playing!

[@3chordgord]

Excellent video, thank you for taking the time make this video. Ima visual learner and this helped me to enjoy my new pedal

[@randallsnell5767]

Thank you, sir. One of the better B3n tutorials. I just turned the thing on. Your video helps a lot. Zoom should hire you.

[@markbrooker4089]

Thanks Giorgio. You really described how to get this pedal working. (Now if you could just do vids on all the Eventide and TC pedals, I would be eternally grateful) Really, thanks, I just picked up the bass in the last few years and this pedal is really helpful for expanding my range and breaking down lots of styles to chase. Really fun.

[@paulferg]

GREAT DEMO - so many thanks for taking the time and being so thorough and thoughtful! It was very helpful. Much appreciate -

[@ts4gv]

You have such a unique face. That probably sounds like an insult. It isn’t. You’re not ugly. I’m just fascinated by your face. Anyway great video!! Thanks

[@daddycoolchannel3558]

Nice & good explanation bro..easy to understand.keep it up!!

[@mikehydropneumatic2583]

Hello my Italian friend! Good review and I am on the fence of getting one myself next weekend. Pedals are nice but also pretty expensive. This Zoom is a bargain and the ergonomics are better imho than the Boss GT-1B (yet both sound good). Greetings from The Netherlands (Paesi Bassi).

[@michaelmathews7864]

Thanks for an excellent demo of useful, practical and tasteful patch creation. Nice playing too.

[@sideparting6845]

Very helpful thanks. Good playing and very impressive with the accuracy of your loop recording!

[@esposoman]

Back in the day (1997) I used to play with an old Zoom 506 and a cheap 120 watts Laney combo... Sounded like crap so I forgot about Zoom for a while... Then I bought a MS60b as a backup for my Boss ME50B and after two weeks it became my main multifx for a while. I was impressed so I bought a Zoom B1on for home practice. This B3n looks and sounds good as well. It has more flexibility than my other multifx ..and honestly, I'm considering to sell the Boss ME50B and the Zoom B1on and buy the B3n for home practice. Edit : I must say that I don't base my tone in multifx/patches anymore. Nowadays my tone comes from a real Sansamp and the Zoom MS60B only works as a tuner/flanger...

[@beornthebear.8220]

The "clean" sounds very good.

[@roshanthapa7075]

You playing is great and so is your Demo ✊

[@dangimalRXD]

This review made me cancel my back-ordered Bx1 Four and order a used one of these. I won't sound as good as you, but I'm excited to tinker with it.

[@giorgioterenziani]

Let me know how it goes!!!

[@ytsejam3334]

Thank you so much.It sounds good, and I cannot wait to buy a B3n.

[@0317patrick]

Thanks Giorgio! Very helpful video.

[@rodneycobb9190]

This FX unit seems to be geared more towards rock and metal bass players, which is cool for them. What about the jazz and r&b bassists? I did hear a few of the sounds on another post that were more melodic, but most of these effects pedals don't get used to their full capacity. A lot of effects many players won't use. There is no substitute for good bass, find your sound and go with it! Effects are o.k. in the proper setting, but in my opinion sometimes the music gets lost when you try to distort the sound so much, just my opinion. I'm not saying don't buy this product, I'm just saying I won't be needing it.

[@neopythagorean]

Great playing and great overview of the product.

[@StudioBrock1337]

You didn't demo the drum machine! Heh. That's okay though, this was all the demo I needed. I really think I could make this work in my bass rig now (though I still need to answer exactly how because of placing my Orbital Mod after the B3n). Thank you for this, it's a great demo for how to use what's a surprisingly intuitive pedal.

[@nathanbrownonline]

Great video! Just got the B3n. This video is very helpful. Is there a way to bypass other than the tuner?

[@giorgioterenziani]

Hi, you can bypass pretty much everything... but the tuner is always on

[@nathanbrownonline]

@@giorgioterenziani Thanks

[@IloREvilo]

Hi, great video. Thank You. You mentioned that you like to make another video about the looper and the rhythm station but I can't find it? Do you have created one? I have the problem that I can not start the rhythem ore the loop funktion... dont know what to do. Thanks for helping. Regards...

[@giorgioterenziani]

Sorry I never did the video in the end.. my bad. It works as a normal pedal so you have to stay "in the patch" to use it

[@IloREvilo]

@@giorgioterenziani ok, great, found it....

[@RadityoPramAdi]

that bass is really cool!

[@jumpingman8160]

I would love Zoom to do an upgraded version of the MS70CDR. Love that pedal, has tons of good delays and chorus there. But it needs some extra functionality. Needs an EXP IN to mess with the efects hands free, a secondary assignable FootSwitch and fxs bleed into next bank [the cut off is somewhat annoying during live use].

[@hecbiz75]

Good stuff. I just got one, but nothing I change gets saved. I want to create a few patches: -- Heavy distortion (BassFz) with EQ and compressor. --- Clean with chorus and compressor. --- A nice reverb. --- A lighter distortion with a little reverb and chorus. In short, show how to combine sounds and save them in a single patch. Thanks.

[@acapdevila]

4:22

[@giorgioterenziani]

It's weird it's saving automatically so you don't to save.Once you change something it's automatically saved in that specific patch

[@justMe-rd4sw]

Very helpful and informative video, thank you.

[@danielroos5426]

Well, you've convinced me. Just ordered one. Any by the way, you are one hell of a great bass player.

[@giorgioterenziani]

Thank you man!

[@karlofandango6108]

How is the intelegent harmonizer? I cannot find a demo of that effext anywhere

[@swub3874]

Did you do a more in depth explanation about the looper and drum machine? Can't seem to find it.

[@Garrett-on-Guitar]

So this can just go into the from of a bass Head that has a pre amp? Sorry im new to Bass and all the setup

[@giorgioterenziani]

I don't understand the question.. You can use it bass - zoom - bass head Bass - zoom preamp NOT straight into a cab

[@joelegerardi443]

ciao Giorgio una domanda.. ... per tornare al suono naturale dello strumento cosa dovrei fare ?? ho comprato la zoom b 3n ieri ,ed non riesco una volta collegata la zoom con gli effetti a tornare al suono naturale senza effetti

[@stevepwickland]

Awesome vid! Love your bass...

[@quiquicampos]

I have to buy this very cool...

[@bublaplaysbass]

Can we add external pedal with it to get the wah feature?

[@89bounce]

Hi I'm deciding between the b3 and b3n. Both same price point. Could you suggest which multi effect pedal to get please? Thanks!

[@giorgioterenziani]

It's hard to say if you need something veeeeryyy easy B3, if you need more power and all the upcoming upgrade B3n. Right now I will choose B3n 'cause B3 it's out of market

[@Ddog666]

Actually lost out on a decently priced second hand b3 in a frantic bidding war on ebay a couple of hours ago. Since it's a discontinued model, I wouldn't bother trying to find a new one. As Giorgio (thank you for the demo btw) says, get a b3n. Will have to save my money for a couple more weeks, but think it will be worthwhile.

[@danielroos5426]

I bought one of these. I can't find a way to easily bypass the unit with a single step. To bypass the unit, I need to either find and empty patch or go to the tuner (sound on). Do you know if there is a way to "quickly" bypass the unit? It's the only thing I don't really like about it.

[@giorgioterenziani]

Push the multi pedal (2sec) and you will have tuner mode. Push on mute and you find a bypass, it's the fastest way to mute or bypass but you always need 2 steps

[@pierreluniere]

Very clear, you have a tidy mind, Sir! I just bought a B3n & I'm well inside it still, I'll be adopting a few of your practices, thanks. pierre . . errr, can't get the sofdtware to read my device yet so I can't backup edits once I've used last open slots . . any help? p

[@giorgioterenziani]

You can download it from Zoom website. It's called Zoom Guitar Lab

[@megatyaesree]

Awesome demo. 👌

[@ivanchristian3560]

Bro quick question, can you stack effects of the same type with this unit? Say 2 delay pedals in one chain?

[@giorgioterenziani]

Yes! You can't use 2 amps because the syestem it's going to overload but no prob for 2 delay or compression or whatever

[@nathantupaz687]

I just bought mine

[@mr.p3666]

Sir question will it work if i connect the b3n with a DI i mean my chain would be a B3N & a DI stomp? Thanks sir

[@giorgioterenziani]

Yes, 'cause you have just a standard cable output not a balanced one

[@mr.p3666]

@@giorgioterenziani Will it work for example if i have a b3n + DI stomp direct to a mixer? Or what would you recommend the best setup sir? Thanks :)

[@harshtree]

@Giorgio Is USB power/software update only or is it audio through USB as well (to use it with DAW)?

[@giorgioterenziani]

The software is totally different and it's called Guitar Lab, you can't use it as audio card, just manage patch, backup and update firmware

[@harshtree]

Giorgio, thank you for the prompt reply. Not that I am happy with this fact. I thought I will be able to use it this way (USB audio. Is there actually a difference in sound quality between B3n and oler - B3 (or MS60B) ?

[@giorgioterenziani]

The major update it's on the amp simulation and the cabinet. You can find a better quality also when you combine different pedal. If you use just one pedal there some small difference, but not so much

[@alicunkchannel9919]

Ini membantu , terimakasih pak

[@Jonkstrap]

How do I use the zoom with my amp? What else do I need to get the effect to come out of my amp??

I see a patch turns off when you press on another,So you can run one patch at a time?

[@giorgioterenziani]

Yes, one patch, but every patch can have up to 7 pedals/effects

[@andykwokhk]

Finally!!!!! thx

[@ImOutsideTheBox]

what are the key differences between this and the B3?

[@snack8ar]

how do you look at pedals individualy not just presets

Hi! You push the multi button and you will swtich between stomp view and patch view!

[@VefaERDEMJr]

Too complicated for stage use. And, wait a minute, no sound card functionality? I'll stick with my old B3.

[@christianmarroquin8370]

I think the trick is to do all the shit Giorgio's doing BEFORE you get onstage, so you only have to stomp on shit once there.

[@giorgioterenziani]

Guy With Opinion You are absolutely right. I use patch view during live switching between One chain and another. All the setting are did before the gig

[@VefaERDEMJr]

I'm not talking​ about what Giorgio does. Of course you should do the settings before the gig according to a specific set list. But the UX design and placement could be more effective, smart and responsive for stage use. On the other hand, the lack of sound device functionality is a huge con for the existing users to upgrade to this.

[@burningkarma]

Vefa ERDEM It's a shame Zoom discontinued the B3 and won't let you update the firmware like the MS-60b. Seems like the Zoom diehards still favor the old B3. The B3n is an uglier design and is missing the ever important DI output.
