Also, the old MS-60B seems better for use with presets as on the MS-60B+ you can't permanently display the patch (preset), that seems a big oversight and surely is just a simple software thing.  

 

I'll need to double check as I've not used my 60B for a while but I don't think it has the option to permanently display the patch name either, it flashes up for a couple of seconds when you change patches but then disappears to display whichever effect block you have selected within the patch. I've had a quick flick through the 60B user manual online and can't see anything obvious to suggest it can be done. But if anyone knows a way to do it on the old unit please post the details.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if it did that (or perhaps I was remembering the B1 Four? I've owned both). But it does that thing where you can footswitch scroll through a few presets, the new one doesn't.

It'd definitely be a handy option to have although with the limited screen space available it'd probably make editing more difficult so I understand why it is how it is. As for the patch scrolling, you never know, that may perhaps come in a future firmware update. Although I don't use that feature myself as I'm only really interested in the 'boring' utilitarian stuff I can see how it'd useful for people with more demanding needs.

I've just joined the club!

Very excited to play with it.

 

Edit: After 20 minutes I can safely say I love it. Extremely tempted to gig it tonight. Always loved Zoom pedals, so simple to navigate, no need for a manual or a computer.

I got myself one for Xmas and I love it too. Coupled with the PJB Double 4 and having created about 6 user patches, I'm getting some of the best bass tones I've ever had irrespective of the bass I'm playing through it.

First gig with the new Zoom (new to me, anyway) and despite only having had it for a few hours it was brilliant. Quick and easy to adjust on the fly, awesome sounds; I could use this and no other pedals quite happily. 

I've got so many pedals from boutique to big name, no name, hand made, Chinese clones, classic old school, plastic cases, hand painted, digital, analogue, big, tiny super expensive and dirty cheap. But this pedal produced such an amazing bass sound tonight - nothing else I own could do better. 

Fair to say I'm blown away.

Can you go into more details on what patches or settings you were using? Would be great to try some of the settings you used 👍

I only had it for a short time before I had to leave for the gig. Therefore I programmed no special patches just half a dozen individual effects in the first six preset slots. 

If I needed an effect in a song I scrolled to it and kicked it in when I needed it.

I'll give you a more in depth review when I've had time to play.
