General

The Zoom B6 isn't just an ultra-versatile multi-effects pedal for electric and electro-acoustic basses; it also offers amp modelling based on FX processor technology, speaker cabinet IR emulation and four built-in DI models. In addition, you're looking at two impedance-adjustable inputs that allow you to toggle between two basses (e.g. an electric solid-body and an acoustic model fitted with a preamp and pickup system or a semi-acoustic hollowbody bass), and Zoom have generously included no less than 68 backing rhythms for you to play over. The built-in looper supports 45-second loops which can be expanded to two hours by slotting in an SD card (not included).

The B6: Simply Dial In What You Want

The four integrated DI models are based on two tube-driven amps and two transistor amps so you can inject the right timbre into your instantly-balanced signal, but you're also given the pick of eleven different legendary amps that can be combined with one of twelve classic bass cabinet emulations or your favourite third-party IR. On top of that, the Zoom B6 features an expanded effects section that includes eleven fresh effects, plus an ever-useful built-in USB audio interface.

Welcome Bonus Features for Every Bassist

Thanks to the high-quality LCD touch-screen interface, navigating the wealth of options and settings of the B6 is easy as can be. The Play Mode footswitch enables you to quickly toggle through loops, effects, the built-in memory, the banks and patches while, using the Zoom Guitar Lab app, you'll have access to even more in-depth patch parameters. With a BTA-1 adapter (not included), you can even connect the Zoom B6 with the Handy Guitar Lab for B6 app and control the multi-effects pedal with your iPhone or iPad. Handy Guitar Lab has been thoughtfully designed with visually impaired users in mind.

Wrote the following about Zoom B6 Bass Guitar Multi-Effect Pedal

Top apparaat. de preset effecten klinken erg goed. de looper kan lang opnemen, tuner is accuraat. je kan het gebruiken als audio interface (nog wel met een mini USB aansluiting i.p.v. USB C wat tegenwoordig standaard is)
touchscreen display.
