Product Information

If an expression pedal is being used to adjust the volume, adjust the pedal position until the volume level is suitable. For intermediate and advanced players, there might be some who think, “My main board is large and cumbersome to carry, so I don’t want to add more gear for light rehearsals or practice sessions.” Despite its compact size that fits in a case, the B2 FOUR offers sound quality equivalent to higher-end models, making it fully capable for rehearsals.

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". 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, One of the standout features of the B2 FOUR is Zoom's innovative Multi-Layer IR technology. This technology replicates the iconic tonal characteristics of playing through classic amps and cabinets. Its impulse responses are captured from cabinets at three different levels, and it's all activated based on your bass's volume level. You'll be amazed at the sound you can achieve with this cutting-edge technology. Features With an impressive selection of 104 effects, including models of legendary boutique effects and preamps, the B2 FOUR allows you to mix and match up to five effects and amps simultaneously to create your own unique sound. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a beginner, you'll have total control over your tone. Perfect for live performances and studio work with 250 presetsDies ist mein erstes Effektgerät und ich spiele erst seit ca sechs Monaten Bass, habe jedoch 20 Jahre basslastige elektronische Musik produziert.

Nicht alle Effekte haben eine Paralleloption, was vermutlich bei Kompressoren ganz gut gewesen wäre. A variety of clean and overdriven preamp selections are on offer, allowing the pedal to cover a wide range of sonic options, and a collection of 250 presets are included to help users dive into classic tones from the 50s through to the modern day straight out of the box. A total of 104 built-in effects are provided, with users able to run any five of them simultaneously, and all-in-one jamming capabilities are provided by its on-board 60-second looper and rhythm machine equipped with 68 beats. I/OFollowing 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 Today I went through all 250 presets and was very impressed. They sounded great and spanned lots of sounds and genres and most were very usable. It's fairly intuitive and if I have one complaint it's that the manual is pretty sparse and basic but has all the information you absolutely need. My first impression is that there are tons of great emulations and a huge variety of ways to run it. I'd be surprised if you couldn't find many sounds you like and cover anything you would want. The sounds are good. The pedal sims work exactly like you’d expect them to work and they sound fantastic. 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. I had been using my Line 6 Helix as my bass rig either direct to house or run through my QSC 10.2. It's an awesome bass rig but I'm a pretty simple man when it comes to bass and I didn't need that many options and I also wanted to see if I could find something smaller.
