Zoom B1 Four Bass Multi-Effects Pedal (Red)

Nice

It has not given me any issues till date and it's a good bass processor for beginners. Just one complain to Zoom - they should remove the patch called Explosion 💥 this is weird.

Best ever practice bass processor..... STEREO Aux in, Stereo Out, Looper n Drum patches..... What more do u need!!!

Last month I bought this product through Amazon. It was delivered in a damaged condition. Amazon declined to replace the product stating it was beyond replacement policy time.

Muy contento con mi pedalera. Tiene muchas ventajas: Es compacta y ligera (del tamaño de mi mano), funciona con pilas AA (incluidas), con conexión USB o por corriente (no incluye eliminador pero yo uso uno de 2da mano y no he tenido problemas). Tiene bastantes efectos y al conectarla al PC se descargan más. El sonido no es pro (obviamente) pero para ser una pedalera económica pues es muy aceptable. Además tiene integrado herramientas como afinador, looper de 30 segundos y caja de ritmos (con un volumen muy alto por cierto; no necesitas baterista jaja). Es fácil de configurar; en la página de Zoom puedes descargar los manuales en Español... eso sí, necesitas tiempo para probar y ajustar los efectos pero la verdad es muy sencillo y entretenido. En conclusión, pues me ahorré una buena lana en pedales individuales de momento. Ya cuando busque algo más profesional (y tenga dinero) pues doy el cambio. La recomiendo ampliamente.

I am a beginner and it is very useful for me to listen/know all kinds of tones. It boost my eagerness to practice more.

Whoa, if you want some superior bang for your FX pedal bucks, this Zoom B1-4 is the deal of the century! I'm NOT exaggerating. This little jewel is undoubtedly the BEST bass effects pedal I've ever owned or played with. It has everything you'll need, including amp modelling, outstanding compression--the "Glam Comp" setting delivers jaw-dropping sustain, the likes of which I've NEVER heard before--an auto-wah that is a blast to play with, all sorts of nifty filter variations, and even some classic amp tone models right out of the history books. When I first plugged it in and started messing with it, I was astonished by this unit's range and versatility. I could get nearly any tone or amp sound, any kind of filter effect I wanted. It's ridiculously simple to use and has an open, "blank" bank in it that allows you to copy an effect from a different bank into an open slot. It's stupid-easy to set up a series of presets in linear order in the blank bank so that just a touch of your toe cycles quickly to the effect you want. I set mine up with the auto-wah first, then the "hard comp," followed by the "glam comp," with an Ampeg SVT amp model, then a vintage Fender cabinet, leaving four more slots open if I want to add something else, simply by copying the desired patch--a three click operation--into any of the remaining slots. Make a mistake? Easy-peasy: delete it and do it again. Takes less than a minute to reprogram it. Not satisfied with the internal patches? No prob; the unit lets you tweak the parameters to suit your own ears. I didn't get into that; I really liked what I heard. Zoom's engineers really put some serious thought and research into this. There are only two drawbacks: it's made of a relatively lightweight plastic, not aluminum or steel, so it's a wee bit fragile. DON'T drop it! I suggest buying the carrier case that's available. I'm glad I did. It's a hardshell case and protects the unit really well. The other drawback is that some of the patches are a bit...well, WEIRD. One of them is labelled "Explosion." I tried it. Yes, it sounds like someone set off a nuke in the next county. Or a really mean thunderstorm. I dunno, you metal players might find a use for it--but a few oddball patches that I'll never use does not mean a deal-breaker. The price will make your jaw drop, too: around $90. (Zoom might increase the price later. I'm astounded that it's THIS inexpensive.) Shipping will add a bit more and if you get the case, you're looking at a total of around $125 for both. Yes, it comes with a wall-wart that has a nice long cord. All told, the Zoom B1-4 is about HALF the price of a comparable steel or aluminum sheathed unit from any other manufacturer--and it does five times the job. It's clean and quiet enough for recording. Onstage, it sounds frickin' AWESOME. I kick the glam comp on when I hit a low E at the end of a tune and that note will sustain for several minutes. I do NOT exaggerate! No foolin', this is the deal of the century. It's now the ONLY pedal I use onstage for my bass (a Squire Affinity series J-bass with active electronics which is itself an awesome machine.) and I can't see myself using anything else for some time to come. Warning: it will peg the meters on the sound board if you don't give the engineer a heads-up during the sound check. I'm serious. This little beast is POWERFUL.

Learning the bass with online lessons, so I have to play along with the lesson videos, and practice by myself and try to self-judge. I tried 3 setups: - USB audio interface, bass plugged into it, Reaper DAW with bass amp VST models: - OK, but super cumbersome, can record myself but it's painful - Can use easy tuner in Reaper - Vox amPlug2 Bass with AUX IN to laptop: - Much less cumbersome, and can practice without laptop - Good beats to play along - Have to use separate tuner - Can't record myself easily - Zoom B1 Four with AUX IN to laptop - Lots of great-sounding amp models - Great beats for practice, lots of choice - Great built-in tuner without plug/unplug - ** BEST ** Can record myself play 4-16 bars! The Zoom B1 Four was the thing that totally changed the game for my learning. The ability to play along with lessons (with AUX IN) while having good bass tone with amp model is awesome. Once play-alongs are done, I just pick one of the rhythms (like one of the 8beats, Rock or Funk) and just use the looper to record myself. It's super easy and I can tell if I'm on beat and the notes are right. Overall, excellent value for money. The built-in effects/models are really easy to configure. The looper is simple to use and has count-in, and there's enough beats that I don't need a separate drum machine or anything. The tuner is the bonus cherry on top. Very highly recommended.
