| 96 kHz sampling brings out the original
sound character of the
bass |
|
The
fundamental frequencies of
an electric bass are about
40 to 600 Hz, but harmonics
go all the way up to the
ultrasonic frequency range.
Many conventional pedal effects
make the low end sound thin
and lifeless. This usually
is not only because of insufficient
response in that range, but
also because the harmonics
are not handled properly.
The B2 series from
ZOOM makes such problems
history. 24-bit resolution
and a sampling frequency
of 96 kHz ensure signal
processing power on
a par with the best
rack-mount devices.
The dynamic, wide-range
bass signal retains
its full impact, and
the result is clear,
powerful sound that
remains a distinct
presence also when
playing in a band ensemble.

original 32-bit DSP ZFX-3 |
|
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. 32-bit architecture
means outstanding accuracy
and smooth and detailed signal
processing. Fine nuances
of fingering and touch come
through without any deterioration.

| Great bass amp sounds for any situation |
|
Sophisticated bass amp modeling allows
you to adjust parameters
such as speaker cabinet characteristics
and low-range response in
three levels. Get the dynamic,
high-impact bass sound of
a large cabinet even with
flat-response systems. This
is handy when using headphones
or studio monitors, or when
playing through a small combo
amp or other bass amp with
low output power. Alternatively,
turn the cabinet effect off
and use only the characteristics
of the amp head. Create your
very own bass amp sound and
get it whenever and wherever
you want, even when using
a series of different bass
amplifiers on stage. |

|
| ●
| Six-band linear EQ or two-band parametric
EQ offer total flexibility |
|
Center frequency allocation and filter
slopes of the built-in six-band
EQ are optimized for bass
guitar. Peaking type filters
in the middle range (150Hz,
450Hz, 1kHz, 3kHz) are augmented
by shelving type filters
at the low and high end (70Hz
and 6kHz). This ensures the
shortest possible route from
creative idea to actual sound.
Further flexibility is offered
by the possibility to switch
to a two-band parametric
EQ, for delivering a pin-point
boost or cut. The B2 series
lets you really take control.

| Two bass synthesizer types with different
filtering and internal
waveforms |
|
The
full-fledged bass synthesizer
uses the built-in DSP sound
source triggered by the input
bass sound. Select from a
choice of three waveform
settings (sawtooth, square,
PWM) and create sounds of
incredible power and resonance.
Two types of filtering with
excellent tracking are also
available, for playing melodious
solo phrases. |

13 different bass amp and stomp box
modeling choices |
|
By
digitally simulating the
clipping action of analog
devices such as tubes and
diodes, the unit faithfully
duplicates the characteristics
of tube amps and vintage
effects. Going far deeper
than the superficial "tone",
this also includes elements
such as depth and dynamics.
Freely adjust the mix between
drive sound and original
sound to create deep distortion
while your bass delivers
a real punch. |

| 47
high-quality effects implemented
with 32-bit processing |
|
Nine
modules dedicated to aspects
such as dynamics, drive,
modulation, and ambience
offer a total of 47 effects.
Because the effects are optimized
for the bass guitar range,
you can freely create various
sonic scenarios without impairing
the bass foundation of the
ensemble sound. A limiter/compressor
lets you control peaks and
ensure that levels are matched.
The auto wah and resonance
filter are indispensable
for playing that funky sound.
The octaver creates a wave
of energy in the ultra-low
range. The defret effect
gives you the sweet tone
and smooth transients of
a fretless bass. Other features
include delay with settings
to 5000 ms and hold function,
tape echo for that vintage
feeling, crystal-clear stereo
chorus, as well as flanger,
phaser, pitch shifter and
many other studio-class effects.

| The
right tools for the job
-- editing controls with
analog feel |
|
The
three rotary knobs let you
tailor three different parameters
at the same time. Control
sensitivity, attack, and
level for the compressor
effect, or time, feedback,
and mixing level for the
delay effect. It's like having
an array of stomp boxes ready
for action. In play mode,
the three knobs adjust cabinet
character, drive effect tone,
and patch level. This lets
you quickly match the unit's
performance to the bass guitar
amp or room acoustics. Delay
time and modulation rate
settings can be made directly
via the intuitive TAP key
input. |

| ●
| 40
ready to use preset patches
for stage and studio |
|
The
unit comes preprogrammed
with settings for duplicating
well-known amps and stomp
boxes, settings that are
modeled on the signature
sound of famous 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 for
creative leeway, a user area
capable of storing another
40 patches is also provided. |
|
|
| ●
| World's fastest patch change speed:
8 ms |
|
The
annoying slight muting interval
of old when switching patches
has been all but eliminated.
With its record-setting speed
of 0.008 seconds, the B2
series never misses a beat.
For example, when changing
from backing sound to a solo,
you no longer need to press
the switch slightly in advance.
Simply push the foot switch
and start playing the solo
phrase. No more fear of losing
the rhythm when making patch
changes. |
|
|
| ●
| Built-in auto-chromatic tuner also
supports multi-string bass |
|
The
bass guitar tuner can be
called up instantly by pushing
two foot switches together.
High-brightness LED indicators
make the note readout easy
to see also on a dark stage.
The calibration range is
435 to 445 Hz, and mute tuning
without sound output is also
possible.

| ZNR
keeps playing pauses really
quiet |
|
The
built-in ZOOM Noise Reduction
(ZNR) provides optimized
performance for bass guitar.
While minimizing any alteration
of the original sound, ZNR
shuts out unwanted noise
in the playing pauses. Even
the tails of long sustain
notes come out beautifully,
with natural release.

| 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, funky 16-beat,
a "Jazzy" 4-beat, and many
more choices. Rhythm training
on your bass guitar has never
been more convenient. |

| Optional foot switch allows versatile

|
When
the optional foot switch

drum machine start/stop,
and delay hold on/off switching. |

| Ultra low noise design: 120 dB S/N
ratio and -100 dB noise
floor |
|
Specifications
such as a signal-to-noise
ratio of 120 dB and noise
floor of -100 dB demonstrate
a level of performance that
is unsurpassed in this class.
Background noise is a thing
of the past, leaving the
unit free to produce only
its own superbly transparent
sound. Especially when using
reverb effects such as Hall,
Room, or Spring, the low
noise floor combined with
96 kHz sampling and 32-bit
processing results in utterly
transparent sound. |
|
|
| ●
| Sturdy metal chassis and rubber damping
for superior toughness
and durability |
|
The
combination of a solid metal
chassis with shock-absorbent
rubber damping ensures that
the unit can stand up to
the rigors of use on stage.
Take it on the road or into
the studio, the B2 series
will not let you down. Its
pleasing rounded shape, large
bezel protecting the display,
and chrome-plated switches
and knobs are proof that
there is no need to sacrifice
good looks for toughness. |
|
|
| ●
| Two-way power allows use just about
anywhere |
|
Thanks
to its circuit design optimized
for low voltage operation,
the unit will run for more
than 7.5 hours on a set of
four IEC R6 (size AA) batteries.
A separately available AC
adaptor (AD-0006) can be
plugged in for extended studio
work, but on stage you never
need to worry about AC power.
