Then, as mentioned in another thread, I was having some sound issues with one of my basses. Be it the bass itself or the location of the speaker or Tzeench toying with my destiny, whatever the root cause I eventually created my own presets for each of my guitars to correct the issue while making each one sound as good as I can make it sound on my setup in my space. Some of the presets that are obviously trying to recreate certain sounds are…wishful thinking at best. For example: the "GoodTimes1979" preset sounds less like Chic and more like "booming muddy mess".

Considering the maximum number of simultaneous effects and the number of footswitches, if you often combine multiple effects or switch tones during a song, B6 would be a better choice. Conclusion B2 FOUR is recommended for first-time bass effect users or as a secondary unit.

Warranty Info

There aren’t many bass-specific multi-effects pedals available today. ZOOM offers the B6, B3, B1 series, and now the B2 FOUR. Currently, BOSS only has the GT-1B. Some products include bass effects within guitar multi-effects pedals. However, bass-specific ones offer a richer tone optimized for bass, providing ease of use and reassurance. Easy-to-understand operability If the effect processing power is being exceeded, “PROCESS OVERFLOW” will appear on the display. When “PROCESS OVERFLOW” appears for an effect, it will be bypassed. (→ Note about the number of effects in patch memories) Following on from the recent release of the G2 Four and G2X Four units, Zoom have announced the upcoming launch of the B2 Four, a multi-effects and amp simulator pedal designed specifically for bassists that combines features derived from their flagship B6 processor ( reviewed in the August 2022 issue of SOS) with their latest Multi-Layer IR modelling technology. Amp Simulation

If an expression pedal is being used to adjust the volume, adjust the pedal position until the volume level is suitable. The bypass switch is great for when I need to tweak the raw sound coming out of the bass or when I want to just use the dedicated compressor pedal. I also wasn't exactly sure how the preamp models should be used. It seemed strange to me to put a preamp in front of an amp/cab sim, but some of the presets definitely did that, and I mean there's really no "rules." If it sounds good, it sounds good. I might just be too mired in old analog thinking of "Bass into amp/cab." I mean who knows, maybe a preamp into an amp/cab and running one of the DI models might produce something cool. I haven't tried yet. The presets also serve as a great way to learn the unit by analyzing them and seeing what's running verses what you're hearing. I remember one preset that was running the pitch shifter module but not actually doing any pitch shifting, but the unit itself definitely drastically changed the tone just being on. Another one used that same unit with a pitch shift of 1 cent to get a pretty good "With A Little Help From My Friends" sound. I never would have thought to use it in those ways. Small, simple, yet still LOTS of options, and it had an XLR out. I was also very impressed by the design in that the navigational buttons are on a raised corner meaning you can use them fairly easily with your foot too. Looks sleek. You can "only" have 5 FX at a time (that includes amp sims) but that's plenty enough for me.The contents of this document and the specifications of the product could be changed without notice.

Nicht alle Effekte haben eine Paralleloption, was vermutlich bei Kompressoren ganz gut gewesen wäre. Die Bedienung muss verbessert werden. Den zu bearbeitenden Algorithmus auszuwählen ist mühsam da man zwischen den fünf möglichen hin und her schalten muss und nur drei Taster hat - das ist bei dem Preis / Formfaktor vermutlich nicht anders möglich und auch nicht so wild. Was allerdings überhaupt nicht geht und mit nem Firmwareupdate behoben werden könnte ist, I wanted to get started with a pedal board. I watched all kinds of YouTube videos and blog posts about which pedals to get first and what pedals EVERY BASS PLAYER NEEDS to the point that I had overloaded myself with information and wound up just buying a tuning pedal and later a compressor pedal.
