Bass Culture Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) About every 12 months or so I find myself seduced by the idea of owning a multi fx pedal. I convince myself such an item will be the answer to all my fx needs and also provide me with hours of fun, fun, fun. It arrives, I spend a couple of hours pratting about with it, I put it back in its box and never take it out again, having reluctantly acknowledged to myself that my fx [i]needs[/i] amount to a big, fat zero. Hence, I have this nice, spotless Zoom B1on for sale. It does a hell of a lot of really interesting things, the vast majority of which I've long since forgotten, so please forgive me if I just cut and paste this rather more comprehensive information: [color=#333333][font=Verdana,]The B1on offers 100 bass effects, including a variety of distortion, compression, modulation, delay, reverb and amp models. The B1Xon offers 5 additional pedal-controlled effects. [/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Verdana,]Up to 5 effects can be used simultaneously, chained together any way you like. In addition, there are 68 built-in rhythm accompaniment patterns, and you can connect headphones to the output jack (as well as portable music players to the auxiliary input jack) for silent practice sessions. An onboard chromatic tuner supports all standard bass tunings, and a Looper feature enables you to record up to 30 seconds of CD-quality audio. Loop length can be set either manually or to a preset number of quarter notes, and you can loop to any rhythm pattern, with automatic quantization that ensures seamless start and end times. [/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Verdana,]Programming is simple and straightforward, thanks to a streamlined user interface and the large backlit LCD screen. Advanced editing features such as Swap, Auto-Save and Pre-Select make it easy to organize your patches for live performance and allow you to scroll through patches silently while keeping the current patch operational. In addition, the B1Xon's built-in expression pedal enables you to control input level, output level, or any selected effect parameter in real time. [/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Verdana,]The B1on allows you to choose from 100 different onboard DSP effects. (The B1Xon offers 5 additional pedal-controlled effects.) [/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Verdana,]These include compressors, noise gates, filters, equalizers and octave dividers, as well as boosters, overdrives, fuzzes, phasers and flangers, plus chorus, pitch shift, tremolo, vibrato, a sub-octave generator and an intelligent bass synthesizer that plays along in key—even a DeFret effect that changes the tone of a fretted bass into that of a fretless. There are simulations of both classic and modern pedals such as the Aphex Punch Factory, MXR DynaComp, dbx 160A, BBE Sonic Maximizer, Moog MF-101 and Z. Vex Seek-Wah, as well as the Xotic EP Booster and Bass BB Preamp, Electro-Harmonix Bass Big Muff, SansAmp Bass Driver DI, MXR Bass D.I.+, Avalon Design U5, plus the ADA Flanger, tc Electronic Corona Tri-Chorus and BOSS ODB-3, DS-1 and Metal Zone. Original effects include Zoom's Noise Reduction (ZNR) algorithm, a bass frequency-specific Auto-Wah and a "talking" modulator. You'll also find more than a dozen delays and natural-sounding reverbs here, including rooms, halls, plates and an emulation of the Line6 M9 Particle Verb. [/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Verdana,]The dozen amp models include emulations of classic tube amplifiers like the Ampeg SVT, Ampeg B-15, Fender Bassman, Marshall Super Bass, Polytone Mini-Brute III and acoustic 360, as well as the contemporary sounds of the Hartke HA3500, SWR SM-900, Aguilar DB750, Gallien-Krueger 800RB, Eden WT-800 and Italian Markbass Little Mark III, each with its own distinct cabinet modeling that can be used to further alter the tonal quality. What's more, you can pair any amp model to any cabinet model for unusual, and often striking, effects. [/font][/color] Here's the little fella in the flesh: [url="http://s120.photobucket.com/user/Myrtle2014/media/P3280048_zps8tpkog3a.jpg.html"][/url] Looking for £28, to include delivery within the UK.
