Designed to put a panoply of sonic possibilities beneath the feet of electric bass players, the Zoom B3n is a multi-effects processor with 67 different effects, up to seven of which can be used simultaneously. Also provided are five amp and cabinet emulations which aim to replicate the sonic signatures of classic setups.
Three footswitches allow you to initiate effects, which are all editable via three separate LCD screens, each of which boasts four dedicated parameter controls, which change depending on the effect you choose. At the bottom of the pedal are three more foot controls: two scroll pedals for cycling through banks, as well as a third control for tap-tempo and tuner regulation. An 80-second phrase looper is also available to you, for all your looping needs.
The pedal provides both instrument and auxiliary inputs, and an output section which gives you a mono 1/4″ output and a stereo 1/4″ output, useful for monitoring through headphones or implementing stereo effects. A controller input will allow you to hook in compatible expression control pedals, such as the FP02M.
