Killer Bass Tones

The Zoom B1x gives you a tremendous selection of effects and amp models for an incredibly low price! The B1x employs Zoom's ZFX-3 DSP chip and a 96kHz sampling rate to deliver amazingly accurate models of tube harmonics. Its 24-bit AD/DA conversion offers excellent dynamic range. The B1x provides a variety of effects categories: Comp/Limit, EFX, Drive, EQ, ZNR/Amp modeling, Modulation, and Reverb. For added flexibility, the B1x sports an expression pedal for control over effects such as flange, wah, and other effects, and it's loaded with 40 presets. The B1x will run for up to 12 hours continuously on four AA batteries and comes with an included AC adapter.

The B1x provides a total of eight modules with 54 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.

Built-in drum machine
The B1x 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. Rhythm training is easy, and a tap input lets you set tempos easily.

Auto-chromatic guitar tuner
The B1x's guitar tuner can be called up instantly by pushing the two footswitches together. High-brightness LED indicators make the note readout easy to see on a dark stage. Mute tuning - without a sound output - is also possible.

"ZOOM" into style!

The Zoom B1x is an AMAZING pedal! Sound quality is exceptional and very capable for recording aplications. The "ZNR" feature is essentially a noise gate that is very effective at keeping pickup "hum... read more [+]" at bay. This pedal has some very nice amp models that are very close to the real ones and sound very believable and "tube-like".
Programming is very easy after reading the manual and some very creative "useful" effects are possible. There are great achievable "wah" effects in this as well as very nice reverbs and delays. Many of the effects are in stereo which has been great for recording. The drum samples sound very good and powerful in a mix, too! I am very happy with this B1x and I can't wait to use it on stage. This was my first "ZOOM/Samson" purchase and I am very pleased with it's sound quality- especially at this low price point! Even though the case is made of plastic (very tough) the two switches are very solid feeling and the effects switch instantly without any delay.
I recommend this highly- you'll enjoy many hours of experimenting with the sounds. Enjoy! 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.
