Zoom MS50B - a B3 in a tiny box?

If it's real...

and if it's anything like the guitar version...

it's going to be a bit of a must-have..? Looks easier to squeeze onto a board than the monstrous M5 too.

I saw this a while ago, among a few others that look similar. I wonder if this is going to be to the Line 6 M5 what the Zoom B3 is to the Line M9 (ie: the same thing but just one effect at a time)

The write up suggests six effects at once and the ability to fast toggle between three patches each containing six effects in any order. Having just bought a B3, i'm feeling a bit sick, as this sounds amazing! Come on Zoom, let us have the '6 effects at once' update for the B3 please!

P.s i'd like one of these too

I see no reason why they wouldn't, however they keep saying they have no plans to...

Hopefully they're just saying that to stop potential buyers from waiting until said update?

Usually the bass stuff comes out 12 - 18 months after the guitar stuff so we might be waiting until this time next year for an update if it's coming!

The suggestion from Zoom so far is 'not available, but we'll pass on your suggestion to the development team'. I think it'd be a really good idea to do it, unless they want to keep the B3 limited to make the MS more inviting.

Ah, beat me to it Chrismuzz!

Maybe

I still want them to bring out a B3X with 6 effects and an expression pedal all built in though! As much as the MS looks awesome there's no expression pedal jack

Now that looks interesting. Couldn't find it on the Zoom site, but they have the guitar version on there. My B2 has finally gone doolally after one too many beers spilt on it. I was contemplating just buying another one as I know it inside-out, but the B3 has me interested - reports on here say the compressor/limiter is much improved, which is something I really hate on the B2 (well, the limiter is much better than the compressor). Now this thing comes along...
