46 high-quality effects
The B1 provides a total of eight modules with 46 effect types ranging from standard to advanced. The Harmonized Pitch Shifter can play along with you - all effects are designed for real-life musical applications. There are also amp and stompbox models along with a synth bass setting for endless hours of creative possibilities.

The B1 offers realistic drum sounds derived from PCM samples, arranged in a variety of rhythm patterns for different musical genres. The 40 rhythm variations include steady 8-beats for rock and pop, funky 16-beats, jazzy 4-beats, shuffles for blues styles, and more.

Wickedly Cheap Fun

by Ryan Johansen from Auckland, New Zealand

Music Background: Weekend Warrior
The sounds you get for the price are awesome. I am a guitarist first and have played for 17 years, but got the opportunity to play bass in a second band. I needed some gear and was looking at the more... read more [+] expensive pedals. However, after trying this one, I couldn't say no.
The sounds are great. You can get some good rock tones, some smooth sounds, and some wierd stuff that is great to mess with (synth, delays, pitch shifting). I'll admit I am not a Bass tone expert, but you get a lot of variety and editing patches is ridiculously easy. It's more like operating a stomp box than a multi-effects pedal. You are limited when it comes to editing modulation/delay effects etc. compared to other models, but check the price difference, too.
You can jam on headphones plugged into the output, which means you can do direct recording from the pedal. This is great for apartment dwellers like myself.
It is made of plastic, but it seems pretty tough. I've gigged with it and it worked great.

It's cheap, it's fun, and it sounds good. If you're thinking about it, just get one. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
