For those of you who still uses a Zoom B1Xon: Pronounced lush and aggressive Wah pedal patch!

[Baloney Balderdash]

I still use my Zoom G1Xon in my bass setup, which though I have used a hack program to install several other effect models on from the same generation Zoom units (G1(X)on / B1(X)on / MS-50G / MS-60B / MS-70CDR).

 

I normally exclusively use it for different reverb patches, among that my always on subtle plate reverb, and a really prominent thick and lush reverb pad patch, that I use with the build in expression pedal, set to control the input volume, for reverb pad swells.

 

However today I decided to experiment with getting a great wah pedal sound out of this old Zoom unit.

 

I ended up with using the "M-Filter" model (which is to be found from stock on both the G1Xon and B1Xon), which emulates a MOOG MF-101 LPF pedal, with the expression pedal set to control the "Freq" parameter, and I actually think that I managed to create a really awesome sounding wah pedal patch.

 

 

 

Here are the settings :

 

 

M-Filter :

 

Freq = 85  ;  Sense = 0  ;  Reso = 7

 

Type = LPF  ;  Chara = 4Pole  ;  VLCTY = Slow

 

Bal = 90  ;  Level = 80 

 

 

Patch Settings :

 

: LVL :

 

Level = 80

 

 

: Pedal :

 

DST : M-Filter 

 

Parameter = Freq  ;  Pedal Min. = 70  ;  Pedal Max. = 100

 

 

 

 

(Eventual other effects, like for instance distortion, fuzz or reverb, can of course be added as one see fit)

 

 

 

Edit!!!:

 

For an even more pronounced strong "wOÚh" sound try these setting instead :

 

 

M-Filter :

 

Freq = 70  ;  Sense = 0  ;  Reso = 7

 

Type = LPF  ;  Chara = 4Pole  ;  VLCTY = Slow

 

Bal = 90  ;  Level = 80 

 

 

Patch Settings :

 

: LVL :

 

Level = 80

 

 

: Pedal :

 

DST : M-Filter 

 

Parameter = Freq  ;  Pedal Min. = 65  ;  Pedal Max. = 100

 

 

 

 

I personally ended up using these latter settings.

I have a fantastic gnarly, synth wah sound in my B1on which is worth keeping it for alone!

Of course the tuner and headphone out are also often in use.

Care to share the effect model(s) used and the settings for it?

 

By the way out of the two different settings I posted for my Zoom wah pedal patch I ended up using the latter more prominent one, which produces a very pronounced strong kind of "wOÚh" sound, rather than the traditional/typical "wAh" wah pedal sort of sound.

@stewblack i have a B1on... sold a B1Four to get it mainly for the old Marshall SB amp sim that i'm always blah blah about...

 

Care to share ya SynthyWah effects n settings?

[stewblack]

I shall get to it today!

OK, I was going to share the patch using tonelib but I have installed the cheeky zoom hack and now tonelib doesn't recognise all of the effects. So here goes.

 

1: Dynamic Drive

 

2: Bass Pitch

 

3: MonoSynth

 

4: A-Filter

 

5: Dirty Gate

 

Which put all together and recording directly from the pedal into Audacity, sounds like this
