Zoom B1 FOUR - UK Version Bass Effects Pedal

Product Information

Use either of 2 performance modes to seamlessly switch up patches and effects during live shows. PRESELECT mode lets you jump from patch to patch without affecting your current sound, while STOMP mode lets you turn individual effects on and off. Key Features Shelf = abrupt cut off of everything below the 'shelf' level (in my case 30 Hz) i.e. a 'cliff edge' cut off. Useful if you're only using to get rid of low end 'crud' (Edit: but based on our discussion below the HPF mode would seem to be better option for this). If you look at my board pic (on the B1-4 thread), I effectively do have two HPFs in my signal chain: the Thumpinator right at the start and the HPF which is in all my patches (including "clean") on my B1X-4. But personally I'd be relaxed about having just one HPF on my B3n or B1X-4, particularly if it's taking up patch space for something that could be more useful (or fun e.g. the Wah sim for use with an expression pedal!) I've had three MS-60Bs come and go over the years. But for me the B1-4 is without doubt the better and much more usable piece of kit, and is happily sitting at the heart of my small pedal board now.

I've fallen in love with the B1 Four because it allows me to create and save my own patches effortlessly. The user-friendly interface makes it a breeze to dial in the perfect settings for any song or style. I have a collection of go-to patches that I rely on, ensuring I always have the right sound for every occasion. Use either of 2 performance modes to seamlessly switch up patches and effects during live shows. PRESELECT mode lets you jump from patch to patch without affecting your current sound, while STOMP mode lets you turn individual effects on and off. One final thing about noise. The B1on is digital and like many digital effects units will cause noise on the power line if you don’t use a truly isolated power supply. Almost every digital pedal does this.If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered The Four seems to have that covered as all four controls are analogue (OK they may be rotary encoders rather than analogue pots, but they are physical knobs). The B1on is a great bit of kit. As with all the digital multi effects units I have had or tried, it can be noisy at extreme settings . My only real gripe with it is that you have to go into a patch or effect to change volume or EQ. Effects and amp sims are sweet. Looper and rythm are nice addition even if I don't really care for them as of right now.

Play your bass to 68 different drum patterns! The B1 FOUR series offers a built-in drum machine with a variety of rhythm patterns in 4/4, 3/4 and more. Lay down a bassline up to 30 seconds, and then endlessly overdub your performance to build a dynamic, multi-part arrangement. In your case you are cutting some of the fundamental notes on the B string which are already not going to be particularly easy to hear, given the combination of our hearing range attenuation and speaker frequency response which for most cabs will also be seeing some fall off in ability deliver low end. The low B is 31 Hz so you will be cutting the fundamental on that by approx 12dB. Not sure whether this was the intention? Tbf it's what a lot of sound engineers do and most of what we hear is at the first fundamental of the B string and above, anyway, which is 60Hz and not being touched by your HPF. I guess it's for the same reason that 4 string players might set their HPFs to start cutting at 80Hz i.e. just below the first fundamental of the low E string (low E fundamental = 41Hz).Its shell is plastic but nonetheless it feels heavy and solid. I was affraid to receive a china made crappy gizmo, happy surprise. It's gig-worthy. With an auto-save function, you can be sure that all your favourite presets will be saved when you turn the pedal off. You can save up to 50 of your own patches – you'll never run out of inspiration. The built-in chromatic tuner also lets you tune up in seconds, so you can keep your basslines sounding stellar. Use the preselect function to choose your patches silently with another patch running. This will help you stay permanently prepared on stage. If you're looking for a bass pedal which will revolutionise your live setup, this will do you justice. Specifications
