Also, and this might be obvious, and a stupid question, but are you string action and pickups adjusted correctly?

 

Thanks for your help, and yes - the bass is in good condition (although the P-pickup wasn't right on the dot....but it is now)

I have the MS60B which is the pedal sized version, I use the 160 Comp, settings as below for evening out string volume.

Thanks a lot for answering 

What compressor in the Zoom multifx do you use, and can you show me/explain what settings you use?

I need the compressor to even out the output from the different strings on my bass.

Thank you

The tiny Harley Benton power amp, will that work on bass too?

Would fit nice on a board along with a Zoom multifx.

Looks great Al Krow, I don’t have my Zoom here at Home at the moment, but I will give your patch a spin when I get the chance. Thanks mate

With pleasure - should have a bit of time next week.

 

Thank you kind Sir ;-)

My little gigging pedal board with Zoom B1-4 very much at its heart! Couple of additional pedals for filter and synth which, together with pitch shift, tend to be weaker areas for many multifx:

 

 

** My Xotic BB patch combines the following B1-4 sims: Demeter Comp --> Xotic BB --> SWR SM 400 amp, and has boosted bass to compensate for the low-end loss on dirt sims.

Can you share the settings used for this patch?

I've recently ordered a B1 Four and, while waiting for it's delivery, have been studying the manuals.

I'm interested in creating an amp/4x10/1x18 amp speaker patch, but that leaves me with only two spots for sound mod effects.

Is there any way to condense an amp/speaker(s) group into something, like maybe an IR file so it can be one effect? Do it with a clip?

Is there any way to chain patches? Like, for example, having a 'ghost' effect that calls another patch?

Any ideas or suggestions are welcome!

These days I just use the tuner and the Sansamp clone

Ask for photos...

I have seen a pic, not the most pretty bass, but I pick sound over looks

Okay, thank you.

No NTF here, so maybe I should just hold on to my fretless Fender

I have a mexican fretless jazz I would like to trade to "something else". A guy offered med a BTB575, a model I know nothing about - and I can't see any info om the internet.

How are the two compared if we compare the price?

I already own a Ibanez SR, and I like that bass - but I don't know the BTB series.

Any help in here?

After goofing around with the B3n I find myself returning to two effects.

The RC Boost and the Roger Mayer Voodoo thing is just my cup of tea (Well, two cups)

I play bass and sing backup. Try my best to lay down harmonies etc.

Does anyone have experience with TC Helicons Harmony Singer, or the Voicelive/Perform series?

Interested in what would be the best choice for a simple solution to get a good harmony effect.

I almost daren't ask, but that sounds like a happy news story you're sharing with us? If so, that's fantastic news!

You are so right my good man. Beat that nasty thing in 2019 and again as we speak (uhm, write).
Sometimes life is actually pretty good

Now the real dumb quesition: Can I use the computer software on a iPad or a Chromebook? My old Mac is on the verge of death

Wireless: Boss WL-20

How do that work out for you, both with active/passive bass?

Great thread guys, Thanks a whole lot

Let's say you play in a rock band (don't we all?).

What would be the essential effects to have lined up on your Zoom?
I would start with the limiter/comp - then I would go with the Ampeg SVT - then an octaver - an overdrive - and finally a noise gate.

How would you make your essential chain?

I love Zoom, too. I have the good old B3, B1four and the B3n - I think they are all great products at amazing prices

Sounds good - could you record a clip for us?

What are the individual effects in the Voodoo Bass patch effect chain?

No chain, just the Voodoo Bass with settings at noon - Gain around 40%

I love the fact that B3n has that rarely seen Voodoo Bass from the Jimi Hendrix sound guy. It is great

I just love that Roger Mayer Voodoo Bass effect, smoooooth drive and fat tone

Slightly older versions do away with the jack plug and are wired so that the bottom socket disconnects the internal cab when something is plugged in.

Oh, adding a 15” to my combo, might disconnect the 4x10”?

Better be safe than sorry, and stick to the 4 ohm extension cab

Hell no.

First off, test the driver that you have in case somebody swapped in a 4 ohm one while nobody was looking. You put a multimeter across the tip and shaft of the lead that goes in the back of the amp. Should be around 6 ohm of resistance for an '8 ohm' driver.

Assuming it's an 8 ohm you can only safely add a 8 ohm cab in the extension jack. Don't add a 4 ohm cab or you risk blowing up the amp.

It's a case of 8+8 = 4 when working with impedance of daisy chained cabs.

Oh, my bad.

It would be the safe solution to use a 8ohm extension cab. My bad, sorry

You might get away with a 4 ohm cab (which will give a combined impedance of 3 ohms), but I wouldn't push the volume too hard. And keep an eye on how hot the amp gets.

Better be safe than sorry, and stick to the 4 ohm extension cab
