This kinda just proves that the quality of your effects is usually not nearly as important as your skill. That said this is also a great unit. It's crazy how far digital processing has come in the last 10 years.

[@patrickhunter]

I really feel like this B1 Four is something a beginner or even long time player could benefit from, you can learn a lot of effects with this unit and the different parameters you can change settings on effects too. I wish I had something that sounded THIS good when I started playing, especially for such a low price!

[@Casual_Shots]

@@patrickhunter Me too dude my first multi was a Digitech BP 200. Moving on to standalone effects changed my world. If I got in to effects now I could see myself sticking with the Zoom and just picking up something else for Synth tones and for dirt.

Also it helps if your whole band mix is just a bass and drums 😂

As I was trying to ascertain via GearFacts, it has everything that Zoom previously made available on the 3030 - and more. It’s compacted but obviously intended for a wide range of musicians.

[@thepricillove5244]

5mins in heard something that hit me in my sac. Lovely. I play for a house of worship. My Array is a big loud bass amp pushing 2×15's and mid/tweeter. I only use one multimeter for my beloved bass which is fully active with piezoelectric bridge. A big heavy chunky 6 string. Off brand but fairly well made with some augmentation. I only use a few effects but they must be the absolute best. Pitch chord effects, delay including reverse.ring mod, chorus, phlanger, envelope follower, defretter and a few others. A lot for church music. I had thought MIDI it tracks well using the organ IC stuffed therein to 4 notes. It is not cheap no. It shouldn't be. It's as much for my pleasure as the congregation and other musicians. The most important part of the rig is me of course. Tasteful playing. Judicious use of the effects. A tone that's deep substantial with Crystal high-end to bring out the effects. I don't go through the system. That level of low-end the FOH can't handle. A reputation for professional snobbishness I've cultivated for years. No one touches my sweet one. They may play the back up per permission. I think my bass would sound great through one of those little red corvettes provided it came through by system. I may get on as a back up. It'll do quite well. as for the distortion. I say here and for all to hear distortion on a bass is the most profane sort of blasphemy. .

[@TAAK9SAR11]

Thanks for this video. You inspired me to buy the B1 four and I love it. It’s like 20 pedals for the price of one! 40 effects and amp emulators, 68 rhythm patterns, 30 second looper, tuner, I can plug my headphones directly, I can plug in my phone so I can watch bass lessons while I can hear myself play. This thing is awesome.

[@VileScarMind]

I got one of these bassed on your review. Definitely don't regret it. The update patches bringing in additional effects and refining the sounds are great. For the money it is incredible - especially great for a beginner like me who wants to check out a variety of sounds and effecrs without dropping larges amouts of cash for each pedal - it's a good way to create and test a shopping list.

[@markmilner842]

I own one of these. Great for getting lots of different amp tones. Pretty easy to use, too. Great for practicing & rehearsals or small jams. Fits in the pocket of my gig bag. Built in tuner is a good feature. You can can run it into an amp or use headphones (1/4 inch jack).

It works fine with two double AA Batteries or 9V AC outlet. The batter life is pretty good and using the battery option increases the portability of the unit. I bought this after my Digitech BP200 died on me. Dude is right about how most of the effects sound. I was surprised at how good the effects sound for the money. Even the ones he didn't like sound decent. The "talktome", Larry Jet, Funk Solo and of course the A-Wah are my favorites. It's great because you can use it in limited space and it will do in a pinch to gig with and it's travels really easy. Dude might work for the company but the review was pretty spot on. It's a great, relatively inexpensive intro to bass effects. Like he said it's great for practice and the price. The plastic casing feels sturdy to the touch but you may want to consider that if you want gig with it. it's perfect for the bedroom or basement bass player.

[@modsleix6]

A lot of people bashing on ZOOM pedals but, I still have my trusty ZOOM 506 & 506 II which I use, daisy chained through my Hartke amp. This unit here seems to blend in a lot of sounds from the 506 & 506 II but, adds the USB, aux input, looper, beats and such. The trick (and fun to be had) with these pedals is to take the proper time to experiment with them. Really messing around with all the settings and really familiarizing yourself with how each effect works and how to dial in a specific sound you're looking for. I don't have anything against plastic pedals. My two ZOOM units have lasted me for almost 20 yrs. now and they both work perfectly. I have gotten compliments from people asking what type of pedals I use and they are quite surprised when they see my two daisy-chained ZOOM mfx pedals. I've learned to emulate lots of cool sounds used by 80's, 90's, 00's and even current bands. I was thinking of upgrading my pedals and I've seen a couple of units from other brands that really impressed me but, seeing this unit just reminded me of how great my trusty 506 pedals really are. At some point, I will upgrade but, after seeing this video, I think I'm still good for the time being. ZOOM fan for life. Cool video here. Nod in your direction...

[@darbalu]

This and the G1X for guitar have made practice and demo recording so much better. Surprisingly great sound for the price. The looper is intuitive and the basic beats great to practice to.

[@downsouthgeorgiaboy7660]

I remember when the Zoom 505 came out for guitar. I was in my senior year of high school and although it had bugs to be worked out, it was a decent little multi effects unit. It had some nice pre sets but the distortion was horrendous. I used the 505 for all the effects and my Boss Turbo Distortion II for my distorted tone. This bass effects unit seems to have a bunch of great presets. I just recently started playing bass and have a Fender Tony Franklin fretless bass that I am running through a Fender Rumble LT25. While that combination sounds great, I’m seriously considering getting this for the looper and the drum patterns as well as just the patches themselves. Thank you for giving such a good demo of this unit

[@DennisPlaysBass]

I unironically use a Zoom 506 for live shows. I use it as a tuner, gate and compressor. It gets the job done. The fuzz is also surprisingly good!

This price range is perfect because you always only end up using only like two or three sounds anyway.

I bought it mostly for the high quality drum machine sounds that Zoom Units are known for, they are of CD Quality. It replaces my 25 year old Zoom BFX708 Multieffects Unit that also featured high quality sounding drum patterns. The old Zoom BFX 708 is now in use in small gig type settings like a Backyard BBQ or House Party, or when I go out to a local Bar Jam or to teach, when I don't want to bring my Pedalboard. Anyway for $130 CDN this is a great pedal & review, thanks Patrick.......

From reading the product description on Sweetwater, it looks like you can connect headphones to the output jack. You would just need 1/4 headphones or an adapter. That really does make it perfect for practice. Even if all the sounds aren't flawless, there's a real appeal to getting so much in such a small, cheap package.

[@stephenhookings1985]

I got an older Zoom B1 2nd hand a few years ago. Like u suggest it's great for practice - it comes on holiday with me and my cheap Steinberger XT25. I made a YT vid showing one awesome feature - on the B1 you can use it as a capo - really handy if you are to play in one key but want to to practice against YT video in a different key.

[@edbrito-swdev]

I have one and it really does depend on your phones. With some phones it is going to sound very low and just fine with others. One thing that is really cool though is that the output level for the bass and the aux in are separate, so you can put an youtube playalong video and play on top of it without an issue.

[@TheAlfaproyect]

Thank you Patrick for doing justice to this multi-effects pedals. I own a Vox Stomplab 2b and I can tell you that the reason you might want to buy a single effect pedal is for more fine tunning options. Nothing else.

[@myflyisopen.8732]

The office is miles from my home (Suffolk County, Long Island). I use this for practice because I NEED a portable practice station. It is NOT better than my small Behringer mixer w/ my old Tech 21 Bass Fly. Headphone output is not great and the AUX volume is bad, so I added a headphone preamp which added more unwanted junk to my set-up, apart from the 4 wires and the adapter used. Also, the delays on this pedal are awful. I had a Korg Toneworks that was lightyears ahead, it just didn't have an AUX in. I also had a Tascam Bass Trainer CD. One unit. One cable. One adapter. One headphone set. And LOTS of CDs or my MP3 player w/ a 6" cable. The Darkglass speaker emulator pedal is great, though it can be expensive... but has bluetooth and touch adjustments and USB adaptability! So many other options.

I was waiting for better players than me to figure this out as well. I have been using the predecessor B1on for home and band practice for quite some time and then got the new model just to see. The improvement is huge, especially in the distortions and the cab models! I used to like my real amp&cab sound (gk mb500 into 1x15) a lot better than my headphone practice sound, now I like the headphone sound better (with the BMAN Set patch). It is just the perfect headphone amp, with amp&cab models, tuner, metronome&rhythms, looper, aux in, and even every effect type you could wish for. My only wish would be a tempo tap function for the rhythms.

It stop working. Did not know what has happened til I lost the second one. That's when I figure out that one can't get too close to the amp. Or the feedback will blow the processor.

Oh forgive me Pat, excellent demo as usual. I’ve really enjoyed your contributions here and check it out: I always try to see if a certain piece of gear I’m interested in has been reviewed by you, and prior to purchasing. Why? Beyond your solid bass playing skills, sunny disposition or superb recording method (plz run that down!) It is the fact that I know I can hear whatever I’m looking at played convincingly with a pick. That’s huge bro and not common/downright overlooked. Well the value of this hasn’t escaped me. I play with whatever technique delivers what the song begs so I really appreciate that cherry on top. Keep up the great work and Be Safe, E

OK, it's in my Amazon shopping basket for October-just spent a load on a compressor and octave pedal so no more pocket money this month! Great review, btw-new subscriber!

Getting it for sure! I recently bought another amazing pedal from zoom for my synth setup! The multi stomp ms70, very versatile! Thanks for the overview video! Would have loved to hear your experience with the drum loops though.

Wow, that Dark Crunch is awesome. I will look for this patch on my MS60B

If only all bass gear reviews were as good as this! Thanks👌

I have a B3. I never do a gig without it. This is an excellent review. I might buy one, but the deal sealer on the B3, and NOT the newer B3N is the DI out. I play many places where it is in-ears only. I prefer to give the sound people my processed bass signal, as opposed to their idea of my sound. Yeah, I know, they'll just do it anyway, and bury me under the kick drum. So be it... but this new Zoom looks great, especially for the meager price tag. Damn, with the prices of things skyrocketing- you could just leave those two beef sirloin steaks in the showcase, and buy this instead!

Yep, just got this as a birthday gift and it has pretty much replaced my entire board besides 10 band EQ and a Rat clone 🤣. This thing is phenomenal for the bedroom bassist.

Liked, leaving a comment - you deserve it, great demo of the pedal. I have one, love it. For practicing, unbeatable. Don’t know if I’d use it live (?), my old Zoom B2.1u had an XLR direct out, I don’t know about using the 1/4” jack (anybody?). But for farting around on your own, playing along to music or drum machine/metronome, just awesome! And the price, you can’t get past that. Great vid, thanks!

I am a new subscriber because of this pedal!! If you would have gotten the B2X with the expression pedal helps to smooth out some of the crazy sounding effects!! Also another AWESOME feature that the pedal has is hooking it up to 2 amps where you can have true stereo effects live!! My petal lasted for 4 years and sounded AWESOME the whole time!!! I had to pawn it last for the money and it was still playing fine!!

Lower price pedals typically get bad quality reviews. Thanks for doing it justice

[@kevincoggans3167]

Thanks so much for posting this video, I’ve probably watched it 10 times by now lol. Just bought one today! 👍

I’ve had the MS 60B, B3, and B3n (twice). And I love the sounds it’s sooo good!
