Zoom B3n multi-effects processor for bassists

Introducing the Zoom B3n multi-effects processor

Create your own original music with the Zoom B3n. This powerful bass pedal has countless authentic sounding amp, cabinet, and stompbox effects that you can use on stage or in the studio. Plus, its editing features are intuitive and easy to use, so you can tweak your sound even when you're on the road.

The B3n is pre-loaded with 67 high-quality stompbox DSP effects to choose from, including 19 dynamics and filter effects, 15 overdrive and distortion effects, 17 modulation effects, 11 delay and reverb effects, and lots more.

Chain up to seven effects, amps, and cabinets together simultaneously in any order you like to experiment with and create new sounds. You can also store up to 150 of your custom effects chains as patches for easy access. That’s why the B3n is great for both practice and solo performances.

There’s no complex setup with the B3n, just plug in and start playing!

Faithful bass amp and cabinet emulations

The B3n’s updated emulations include five classic bass amps and five matching cabinets that have been modelled to sound and respond just like the real thing. To adjust the sound of each model, simply use the B3n’s parameter knobs in the same way that you would with analog gear. You can also download even more amp/cabinet combinations via the free ZOOM Guitar Lab software.

Intuitive controls

The B3n’s simple layout and controls lets users edit and produce hits faster than ever before. The three independent LCD screens display your entire effects chain at a glance, and its tactile knobs and switches give you effortless control over adding, editing, deleting, or changing the order of effects.

Enhance the way you play

There’s 68 built-in rhythm patterns that can be used in conjunction with the onboard looper. The looper allows you to record and overdub phrases up to 80 seconds long, creating textured layers of sounds using the effects of your choice. The looper, rhythm patterns, and delay effects can all be synchronized using a tap tempo function. And a built-in chromatic tuner lets you bypass the currently selected patch while tuning, or you can mute the signal altogether.

Versatile connectivity

It’s super easy to integrate the B3n into any live performance or studio rig. In addition to a standard 1/4” input, there's an auxiliary 1/8” stereo input for connecting smartphones or music players. There’s also a dedicated headphone jack for practice, and dual outputs for mono or stereo L/R connection to bass amps, PA systems, and audio interfaces.

Zoom Guitar Lab software

The Zoom Guitar Lab app for Mac and Windows gives you access to an impressive library of amp models, effects and patches. It’s a one-stop shop for effects management, which artists can use to easily edit effect parameters, build effect chains, and backup/organise their patches.

For maximum efficiency, Guitar Lab’s advanced UI monitors your CPU usage while you edit. For user convenience, the new Clipboard function memorises up to four effects with custom parameters, so you can copy and paste them onto other patches. Finally, the NEWS section contains newly added effects and patches, as well as demo sounds, all available for download directly from the app.
