So I started off looking for a simple headphone amp for my bass guitar which range in price from $40 to $80 amd my guitar player friend recomended that I get a small bass effects pedal. And long story short this thing is a headphone amp, a tuner, a amp simulator, a multi effects pedal, and a drum machine all in a $49.00 package.

Sounds great, works great, not the best out there, but for the price, it worked for me. Used it on the worship team a few times, and also practicing at home. I wouldnt use it for my main gigs though too many drunks stomping around.. and this little thing is plastic. But it works goodly enough for most things :)

I use this effects unit every-time I play bass.I can almost all-ways find a group of settings that fit the sound that I want. The only reason why I gave this unit a 4 is because it can be kind of tedious to adjust all of the presets to edit an effect setting. If I am searching for a unique sound that I will like, it can take up to 5 minutes to go through the coding to find a good setting. Also, I recommend the Zoom B2 for added durability as the B1 is more for practice with plastic and rubber hardware.

I was looking for something to reproduce the high quality effects that are contained within Cool Edit but pre-signal for live shows as opposed to post-signal for recording.

These Zoom units come pretty damn close!

I am running this into a Hartke rig so I started out dialing in the Hartke simulation and then adding one effect at a time. It is true that some effects are more experimental than others but there are more than enough that are usuable straight away.

If you already have a compressor, it's best to turn the one inside the Zoom off and set the eq flat to start. Also, don't forget to store any changes you make straight away in one of the user banks.

Otherwise these are pretty straight forward to use and you really can't go wrong by simply exploring the full possiblities of ONE effect at a time with the SAME amp simulation.

Highly recommended!

Very cheap, feels cheap, very plasticky, but sounds good. It is like a sonic pocket knife for the bassist. I have used it live to emulate cabinets and connect the bass directly to the PA without carrying all the gear other than the bass, the pedal and the cables.

I know it will never sound like the real rig, but from an economic and practical point of view is more cost-effective. People won't notice the difference live(if you set it right), and you won't break your back carrying the bass amp nor your pocket.
