| 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.

| ZOOM
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. |

| 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. |

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.

| 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 6 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.

| Expression pedal adds further versatility
to your guitar play |
|
The
built-in expression pedal is a great
way to control effect parameters in real
time. Set the mood with vintage wah,
play a pitch shift, or adjust the volume.
Or go beyond conventional pedal effects:
adjust the mixing ratio of direct sound
and synth/drive sound, or control the
modulation rate. The dedicated PEDAL
ASSIGN key and status LED indicators
make it a cinch to select the effect
to control. Effect on/off switching is
also possible by pushing the pedal fully
down.

| XLR
output allows direct connection to
PA mixer for stage work |
|
Standard
XLR connector lets you establish a balanced
link, to ensure degradation-free, clean
sound transmission also over long cable
runs. There is no need to use a DI box,
even when you want to directly hook the
unit up to a mixing console or PA system.
The pre/post switch makes it possible
to get the effect sound from the main
output and the direct sound (bypassing
the A/D converter) from the XLR output. |
|
|
| ●
| USB
port enables computer recording |
|
The
USB port allows the unit to function
as an audio interface for a computer.

the high-quality sound of the B2.1u in
a computer-based recording system. The
superb "Cubase LE" DAW software comes
bundled with the unit, so you can start
creating sophisticated music straight
away. Because playback from the DAW application
can be monitored at the B2.1u itself,
there are no latency problems during
recording. Powering the unit from the
computer via the USB bus is also supported.
Supported OS:
Windows XP / Mac OS X 10.2 or later
