AUTHENTIC SOUNDS. COMPLETE VERSATILITY.

THE ZOOM B3N

Intuitive Multi-Effects Processor for Bassists

The Zoom B3n lets you create your own original sound, no matter the kind of music you play. This bass pedal has countless amp, cabinet, and stompbox effects that you can use on stage or in the studio. Plus, its editing features are simple enough that you can tweak your sound even when you're on the road.

67 Built-In Stompbox Effects for Monster Tone

The B3n is pre-loaded with 67 high-quality stompbox DSP effects, including 19 dynamics and filter effects, 15 overdrive and distortion effects, 17 modulation effects, 11 delay and reverb effects and more. (Download a list of the B3n pre-loaded effects)

Faithful Bass Amp and Cabinet Emulations

The B3n’s newly created emulations include five classic bass amps and five matching cabinets that have been modeled to sound and respond like the real thing. To adjust the sound of each model, simply use the B3n’s parameter knobs just as you would with analog gear. You can also download even more amp/cabinet combinations via ZOOM Guitar Lab software.

Create Custom Effects Chains

Chain up to seven effects, amps, and cabinets together simultaneously in any order you like to experiment with and create new sounds. You can also store up to 150 of your custom effects chains as patches.

Master Your Sound

The B3n’s simple layout and controls make for

faster and more intuitive editing. Its

three independent LCD screens display your entire

effects chain at a glance, and its tactile knobs

and switches give you effortless control over

adding, editing, deleting, or changing the

order of effects.

Just Plug It In and Play

There’s no complex setup with the B3n—just

plug in and start playing. Thanks to its 68

built-in rhythm patterns, the B3n is great for

both practice and solo performances. With the

onboard looper, you can record and overdub

phrases up to 80 seconds long, creating textured

layers of sounds using the effects of your choice.

The looper, rhythm patterns, and delay effects

can all be synchronized using a tap tempo function.

And a built-in chromatic tuner lets you bypass the

currently selected patch while tuning, or mute

the signal altogether.

Connect, Perform, and Record

It’s easy to integrate the B3n into any live performance or studio rig. In addition to a standard 1/4” input, there's an auxiliary 1/8” stereo input for connecting smartphones or music players. There’s also a dedicated headphone jack for practice, and dual outputs for mono or stereo L/R connection to bass amps, PA systems, and audio interfaces. Add the ZOOM FP02M expression pedal via the dedicated control input for real-time control over effects parameters.

It includes both a Patch Manager for effects chains and an Effects Manager, with a simple graphic user interface that provides point-and-click control over re-naming or re-ordering your custom patches.
