Effects Virgin. Zoom B3 v Digitech BP355?

[chilievans]

Another which pedal question I'm affraid

I'm thinking of getting a multi effects pedal and I know absolutely nothing about them. After a bit of searching on the web I've come across these two pedals which seem to offer the complete package at a good price.

I'm really interested in the fact that they have a looper, drum machine and recording software included. I think it'll open up my playing by giving me the option of making my own tunes.

Price wise they are pretty much the same so thats not a factor. So Is one better than the other and if so which? Are there any others that I should be looking at?

I've tried one of the cheaper Digitech multis (the BP80) and it was awful. Ridiculous tone suck! The chorus effect on it was really really nice but everything else sounded horrible

I was split between those very two units myself a few months back.

I ended up going for the B3 simply because it [i]didn't[/i] have the "expression pedal" and the BP355 did.

Sound and feature wise I reckon you can't go wrong with either.
Go try them both out in your local music shop.

Yup, i agree with the above! The B3 is getting a lot of love. I've gotten the expression pedal for mine and am looking forward to setting up some cool new sounds!

Yep, really like all the features of the Zoom so that gets a +1 from me.
