I've been playing bass for twenty years.I've used a number of effects boards/pedals and I have to say I've been very impressed with the Zoom B2.The metal construction gives it a solid dependable feel when you take it out of the box.It just seems like it will survive on stage, unlike many of its plastic counterparts (including earlier zoom pedals).

It sounds awsome.I was not dissapointed. The effects are top notch.There are great presets that sound good as soon as you plug in.And of course there are many that are way over the top to the point I would consider them unusable, but if you dial back some of the more exotic effects you can get some very nice sounds.The amp/cabinet sims give a nice varity of tones and I like the compressor and chorus effects.

I was most skeptical of the built in drum machine and honestly I almost didn't buy the pedal because of this feature.It seemed so gimmicky and cheesey to put a drum machine in a bass pedal.I have to confess I love it.I dialed up a nice beat and just started jamming with it.It's a superb practice tool.The sounds and the beats are not cheesey at all.

I read other reviews from other forums and some people noted that its kind of hard to put it in bypass/tune mode.You have to hit both pedals at the same time.Unless you have very small feet (mine are size 9) or play barefoot, I can't see how this could be a problem.

So far I can't find anything I don't like about this pedal.

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-3The heart of any multi-effect device is its
