    New Zoom B3

    topo morto replied to dannybuoy's topic in Effects

    So, I just got this from the OP. Does that mean I own this thread too now? All IMHO of course: Obviously first thing to try is all the distortions... I think some hit the mark, some don't. Muff is not that good, too compressed sounding 'inside' the sound. On the other hand they have got the character of the bass BB pretty accurately. The rat 'squeak' is well - thought out, with a blend added - best of all IMO is the DI + (MXR sim). For cleaner fatness, The Bottom B and Booster are nice, and the Bass Driver is decent enough - although you can get your fatness and warmth from the amp sims. Delays are good, with the analogue delay being quite convincing and the Filter delay is nice. So are all the filters actually - including the envelope filters. This makes up for the synths which are for low tempos only, although they sound good. The '4 voice syn' and Bitcrusher are good creative effects. My favourite effect? 'BendCho' - a little pitch bend up or down effect triggered on note start. In terms of the design, it is a shame that the footswitches aren't more assignable, especially for tap tempo, as I'd quite like to use tap tempo AND the input mute with the delays rather than have to choose. Another missed trick (unless it's me that's mising it) is the ability to do different routings for the effects, e.g. 1 and 2 in series and then 3 in parallel with those. Overally - It's pretty nifty. Because I'm a 'bit of drive and that's it' type I was expecting to try it for a few days and move it on, which may be what I end up doing... but I do like it. we shall see!

    Woolly Mammoth - £140 posted - [color=#FF0000]on hold pending payment[/color]. Great condition overall - a few small nicks on the back corner which I have just realised the photos don't show, but pretty shiny overall. Original version powered by battery only, though it's not much of an issue as battery lasts ages... (just pretend it's not electric at all!) Serial No D186, 5.9.05. See also [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/172276-fs-ooh-la-la-inferno-fuzz-hand-painted-by-myrold-price-drop/"]http://basschat.co.u...old-price-drop/[/url] . Will be popping a couple of things on eBay tomorrow and may do the same with this, so do let me know if interested!

    Only used it at home so far but the Sub Lime is very nice-sounding - I just snagged one from eBay. Not sure what international shipping would come to though!

    [quote name='matybigfro' timestamp='1333639812' post='1604682'] How's the inferno sound on bass (any bass loss) [/quote] Maintains the bass end pretty well... about the same as my triangle big muff clone. It's not putting extra bass in like a bass big muff so depending on what you thought was the eqivalent volume setting for effect off and on you might think it loses a bit, or not at all. One of those slightly subjective things... [quote name='matybigfro' timestamp='1333639812' post='1604682'] is the sound muff like or more fuzz face like [/quote] I'm not sure if I could accurately describe the difference between muff and face when it comes to bass! I think it's its own thing really. The 'heat' knob gives you a good touch sensitive snarl and the 'smoke' knob gets you a more compressed kind of 'amp blowing up' sound. For a high gain fuzz it's quite a touch sensitive and interesting sound, not flat and buzzsawy. It's a bit hissy at some settings but nothing you'd really notice in the mix. I could put some clips up but I'd probably end up getting into it and keeping it!

    [quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1333206143' post='1598734'] how is the dark matter for bass ? thoughts on low-end loss or keepitude ? [/quote] With my P: With the bass control at 12 o'clock you are losing a bit. With the gain low and the bass at 2 o'clock (see video), your bass is back (though still pretty tight - it's not a big booming sound). As you push the gain up higher, you mmight need to push the bass up to 3o'clock to compensate, If you push the bass up full, you can get more bass out than you're putting in... If you prefer not to mess with eq, I was getting good results with a blender as well. The nice thing is the quality of the distortion - grimey and grindy rather than buzzy / fizzy.
