Johncee Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Recently acquired a B3N and trying to figure it all out....Please forgive me if I'm being a simpleton😀 I'm happy with the straightforward use of the various effects, but struggling with patches. Specifically how to turn them on and off. I can get the patch up and turn individual effects within the patch on and off via the foot switches, but I can't figure out how to toggle the entire patch on and off. I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious, but any help would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Perhaps I mis-used the B3N or just didn't know what I was doing but I don't think there is a way to turn a patch off as such. You just select another patch. And if you don't want any patches with effects applied then just select a "blank patch". The manual is here - https://zoomcorp.com/media/documents/E_B3n.pdf . Page 8 discusses the effects and Page 16 the patches. There are also manuals for: The effects - https://zoomcorp.com/media/documents/E_B3n_FX-list_3.pdf The patches - https://zoomcorp.com/media/documents/E_B3n_patch-list.pdf Apologies if I've completely misunderstood. For editing; you may find Tonelib Zoom easier than Guitar Lab (or editing via the pedal). It is a free download - https://tonelib.net/downloads.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Other option may be to select tuner (without the Mute setting) as a quick bypass... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call - page 28 of the manual covers that - https://zoomcorp.com/media/documents/E_B3n.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we say the middle row are footswitches- the metal ones, and the lower row are pedals - the black paddles. Individual effects and blocks you hold down the lower right pedal to go into Stomp Mode - you can then toggle on and off as required. From a patch to no patch - quickest way is to set an empty patch up next to a patch and jump to that. Otherwise hold down pedal 3, then press footswitch 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to all who replied. Looks like setting up an adjacent empty patch is the way to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
