The all new analog circuit, combined with the DI section vastly improves the low-frequencies of your instrument. With an 88.2 kHz effects processor, double the rate of others, the B6 has your high end covered. Zoom have meticulously modeled four iconic DI boxes to give you a wide variety of tonal options. Tube 1 has a vacuum tube DI character with rich harmonics and thick low frequencies, Tube 2 has a vacuum tube DI character with a clear attack and tight low frequencies, and Solid State 1 delivers moderate compression and sharp tones for electric bass, while protecting against the loss of low frequencies when playing an upright bass with piezo pick-ups.
Separate inputs allow you to A/B switch from electric bass to synth or acoustic bass, and back again. Both inputs let you change the impedance from 1M to 10M ohms, giving you a cleaner tone for upright basses equipped with piezo pickups. The B6 features 11 of the best amp models in history, plus a couple of new ones. The B6 provides simulations of 12 classic bass cabinets, each with three variations based on mic positioning. It also delivers the ultimate collection of Zoom’s legendary effects, along with 10 new ones.
The 4.3-inch color touchscreen lets you drag, drop and rearrange effects to build the perfect signal chain in seconds. The four Play Modes on the B6 will change the touchscreen and footswitch layout to give you quick access to the controls you need. Effect Board mode provides a visual representation of your pedal chain. By clicking the assigned foot switch, you can turn on or off an effect in your patch. Bank and Patch mode lets you scroll up and down through your Banks and Patches by clicking the corresponding foot switch. Memory mode is ideal for organising your patches for performances, the Memory Mode allows the foot switches to activate one of the 4 patches in each bank, and last use the Looper mode to add layers to your sound. Create loops and recordings up to two hours long, saved directly to an SD/SDXC card for instant access and recall.
Select from the B6’s 68 rhythm patterns in a range of styles, tempos and time signatures. Connect to your computer via the micro-USB port to record directly to your DAW or connect the B6 directly to the Handy Guitar Lab for B6 app via Bluetooth. Using the optional BTA-1 adaptor, wirelessly connect your iPhone or iPad as a secondary interface for your B6. The B6 is the first multi-effects processor that allows accessibility for the visually impaired, the Handy Guitar Lab for B6 app features VoiceOver and VoiceOver Gestures. You can also browse Zoom Guitar Lab to easily save, edit and load patches.
