About this deal

With four DI models and advanced multi-effects, the B6 gives you freedom to explore entirely new sounds. With the B6 in Bank/Patch mode, select an empty effects slot and then switch to Effects Board mode. The touchscreen will display six instances of the bypass ‘effect’. Wow, things have moved on since I last had a multi fx unit. There are all the standard presets to show you what it can do, most are useable but some are a bit “fun”. The real depth is when you get in and effectively build multiple pedal boards per bank. The IRs are really good, there probably are better ones out there but they’ll do for me. If I have to moan, the compressors are a bit hit and miss as there’s no indication of the amount of gain reduction being achieved. Yeah yeah use your ears, I know, but it would be nice to be able to dial that in.

In Effect Board mode, you are given a visual representation of your signal path whereby each of the six simultaneous effects will be assigned to a stomp you can switch on and off within your chain. This will be home base for many players as it gives you immediate access to different effects within your chain to punch in or out depending on the needs of the song. If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered inputs w/dedicated switch and each with global EQ/Level is perfect for switching between 2 drastically different basses in live performance. Nice touch. Touch Screen Usability: Consisting of a 4.3" colour LCD touch-screen interface, setting up, selecting or adjusting your tones is made simple and fast. Zoom B6 Bass Multi-Effects Processor Specifications:Synth and pitch-based effects have taken a step up IMO. I'm finding that I like them more and can do more with them. On the B3n, this category was a real struggle. The synth sounds I'm getting now on the B6 are so much better than the B3 or B3n.

The last of the four ‘hard’ switches, the one to the right of the touchscreen, actually has two functions. Firstly, if a looper or rhythm generator (more of both later) tempo is required, repeatedly tapping the switch defines said temo. Secondly, if you press and hold the switch, a big, bold and wonderfully clear tuner display appears on the B6 screen. Engaging the tuner also usefully mutes the B6 output. I found the tuner easy to use and reassuringly stable. It tunes chromatically to 440Hz by default, but other options can be configured if required.

Expansion & Connectivity

And speaking of loop time, the B6 can accommodate up to 90 seconds in mono and 45 seconds in stereo (while instrument inputs to the B6 are of course mono, the aux input and some effects generate a stereo output). Loops can be positioned in the signal chain either before or after the B6 patch currently selected when Looper mode is engaged. New phrases can be overdubbed on existing loops, and effects patches can be changed while an existing loop is playing — both of which features potentially inspire quite mind‑boggling creative possibilities. And along with the combination of loops and effect patches, the B6 also enables its stored rhythm patterns to be played‑in. In Bank/Patch mode, the function of the four front‑edge footswitches changes. The two on the left select, respectively, the next bank up and down, and the two on the right select the next patch up and down. Keep pressing either patch switch, however, and patch selection will continue into the next bank rather than scrolling around the patches within the bank. Creating you patches for your Zoom B6 Multi Effects Bass Processor can seem daunting, however with the 4.3-inch touch screen it's easy to arrange your signal path by simply dragging and dropping! Choose from over 11 extremely detailed amplifier models, 12 boutique cabinet models and roughly 50 effects! Of course, modern players demand modern solutions and the Zoom B6 is no exception. You can load your own custom Impulse Responses directly to the unit for a familiar tone in your recordings. Whether you need a few flavours of amplifier and cabinet or a plethora of unique effects, Zoom B6 has you covered. Specifications Inputs The contents of this document and the specifications of the product could be changed without notice.

Now tap on one of the effects slots and the main effects menu will open. Tap on one of the effect categories, followed by the desired effect, and then tap OK. Returning to the Effects Board screen will display the chosen effect located in the appropriate position. If you want more than one effect (which you almost certainly will) in a patch, adding more is simply a case of repeating the Change/Amp Effect stage — but there is a catch, which I’ve discussed in the ‘Load Limits’ box. Wireless control via optional Bluetooth adapter (BTA-1, not included) with Handy Guitar Lab for B6 app Memory mode is the ultimate tool for live musicians. Here, you can organise your patches and allow each footswitch to active one of 4 patches in each bank. This allows you to have multiple unique signal chains comprised of different amps, cabinets and effects throughout different songs within your setlist. You might need this manual in the future. Always keep it in a place where you can access it easily. Lastly, Looper mode does exactly what it says. Loop up to two hours directly onto an SD card to add layers and texture to your sound. Buskers or solo performers can use this to build a platform on which to create the rest of your song and using the built-in Rhythm patterns, you have your entire rhythm section inside of your B6.Portable music player, etc. Adjust the volume on the connected device. SD card Use an SD card to save loops and increase loop recording time.
