Annoying Twit Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I just bought this. Bit of an impulse purchase, but I really wanted something easy and quick to plug into which had a drum machine in it, more or less just to use as a metronome for headphones practice. I was looking at B2.1us, but didn't need the USB or the pedal. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Zoom-B2-Bass-Multi-FX-/180675197842?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item2a1114bb92"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Zoom-B2-Bass-Multi-F...=item2a1114bb92[/url] Didn't know how much to bid, so I just bid a tenner or so over the previous winning bid. Then I won it. It's not that much more than half Thomann price, so surely that can't be too bad. How much do these typically go for? Not that I really mind, but just curious as to what others think of the purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom dont supply the mains adaptor as standard though! so not a bad buy! they are great for personal practice and unlike many other Multieffects these are a doddle to program!.

[/quote] I used to have one of these and it came with the power supply, same as my Zoom B9. I also used to have a Zoom acoustic effects pedal which also came with a power supply so not sure where "Zoom don't supply the mains adaptor as standard" comes from. The B2 is a great little piece of kit and as you say it's got the drum machine (something it's big brother the Zoom 9 hasn't) which is great for practising along to.

Annoying Twit Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 I finally have mine. It came with a Boss power adapter. But, it works. I had some ebay.adventures getting the unit. But, I'm very pleased with the unit itself. I haven't delved much into programming, but there are some very good presets. And, when I did try twiddling some knobs, it seems that the individual effect units have a good range of useful sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
