DESCRIPTION:
| Clear
and solid bass sound thanks to 96 kHz
sampling |
|
The sonic frequencies generated by an electric bass are
about 40 to 600 Hz, but harmonics go all the way up to the
ultrasonic frequency range. The ZOOM B1 offers ultra-high
resolution signal processing with 24 bit/96 kHz sampling, rivaling
the best rack-mount processors. The dynamic, wide-range bass signal
retains its full impact resulting in clear, powerful tone that
retains a distinct presence. |

ZFX-3 -- the new-generation 32-bit DSP |
|
The heart of any multi-effect device is its processor and
decoder section. ZOOM elevates performance to the next level with
its newly developed ZFX-3 chip. Its 32-bit architecture means
outstanding performance and smooth, detailed signal processing.
Fine nuances of fingering and touch come through without any
deterioration. |

13 different bass amp and stomp box modeling
choices |
|
Whether you want the massive sonic push of an all-tube
amp, the sweet and mellow tone of a vintage model for melodic
phrasing or the sound of a high-power wide-range modern amp, the
choice is yours. There are seven bass amp settings that range from
Rock and Pop to Fusion and Jazz. Plus, five unique distortion pedal
sounds as well as a tube preamp for adding warmth are also
available, letting you create exactly the bass sound that you want.
Freely adjust the mix between drive sound and original sound to
create deep distortion for real punch. |

| ● |
46 dedicated bass effects |
|
Eight modules designed for bass guitar offer a total of
46 effects. A limiter/compressor lets you control peaks and ensure
that levels are matched, while the three-band equalizer makes it
easy to taylor your sound further. Auto wah is indispensable for
playing that funky sound, and the octaver impressively enhances the
low range. A defret effect gives you the special tone of a fretless
bass. Detune produces a chorus effect with moderate amounts of
modulation. Other studio-class effects include a long delay with
settings to 5000 ms and a harmonized pitch shifter. |

Bass synthesizer |
|
The built-in full-fledged bass synthesizer uses an
internal DSP sound source with triggered operation. Select one of
three waveform settings (sawtooth, square, PWM) and create deep,
punchy bass synth lines. |
|
|
| ● |
40 preset patches reproduce the sound of the
pros |
|
The unit comes preprogrammed with settings for
duplicating well-known amps and stomp boxes, settings that are
modeled on the signature sound of famous rock bass players, as well
as totally original ZOOM effect sound creations. Right out of the
box, you can enjoy professional-quality bass guitar sound. And to
store your own creative sounds, a user-defined set will store
another 40 patches. |
|
|
| ● |
User friendly interface |
|
Editing an effect is as simple as choosing the patch with
the selector knob and adjusting the parameter with the value knob.
Let your imagination roam without being hampered by complicated
controls. |

Integrated drum machine with PCM sound
sources |
|
Realistic drum sounds derived from PCM sources are
arranged in a variety of rhythm patterns for different musical
genres. The 40 rhythm variations include the steady 8-beat of Rock
and Pop, a funky 16-beat, "Jazzy" 4-beat, and many more choices.
Rhythm training on your bass guitar has never been more convenient.
A tap key is provided for easy direct tempo input. |
|
|
| ● |
Built-in auto-chromatic tuner for bass |
|
The bass guitar tuner can be called up instantly. Mute
tuning output offers further convenience. Bright LED indicators
make the readout easy to see on a dark stage. |
|
|
| ● |
Ultra low noise |
|
A signal-to-noise ratio of 110 dB and a noise floor of
-98 dBm mean that background noise is virtually eliminated,
resulting in clean, transparent sound. ZOOM's proprietary noise
reduction technology (ZNR) is also built in, to completely shut out
unwanted noise during playing pauses. |
|
|
| ● |
Fits in a gig bag |
|
The compact size and weight of the B1 make it ideal for
those who want plenty of effects and great performance without
having to carry a lot of gear. The reinforced plastic body can
withstand the rigors of use on stage and on the road. The stylish
looks are also highly functional with the flush surface able to
distribute pressure evenly. The unit feels great when you pick it
up and equally stable when you use the foot controls. This is the
kind of product design that you can get only from an industry
leader like ZOOM. |
|
|
| ● |
AC/DC allows use just about
anywhere |
|
Thanks to its circuit design optimized for low voltage
operation, the unit will run for 12 hours continuously on a set of
four IEC R6 (size AA) batteries. The AC adaptor (AD-0006) can be
plugged in for extended studio work, whereas on stage you never
need to worry about AC power. |

Expression pedal support adds further
versatility |
|
Connecting an optional expression pedal (FP02) lets you
adjust volume, wah, or pitch shift in real time. But going beyond
conventional pedal functions, you can also adjust the mixing ratio
of direct sound and drive sound or freely control the modulation
rate or other delay and reverb effect parameters. The B1X model
comes with a built-in expression pedal and a PEDAL ASSIGN key that
makes it a snap to select the function operated by the
pedal. |
