  1. Ok, so I think I may have made a mistake... lol Since ordering the MS70CDR earlier today, I've been playing with my B3 for about 2 hours -man I forgot how awesome this thing is... It's just so easy to use, everything is displayed clearly etc. I like how I can have basically 100 slots for my own patches. My only reason I wanted to change it was because: A) I wanted more effects in a chain (6 as opposed to 3) B) I wanted a smaller sized pedal C) I wanted the option to be able to change patches AND turn effects on/off using a footswitch. The MS70CDR ticks A & B, but not C. I think only the Zoom B3n ticks C. So if I want to tick C, it seems I need to buy myself a Disaster Area DMC footswitch for another £100... So that's £200 altogether with the MS70CDR. For £130, I could have bought a Zoom B3n. Heck, for £250 I could have bought a used Helix! The more videos I watch, the harder the MS70CDR looks to use (compared to the B3). I also didn't realise that it only has 25 patch slots (I've already used up around 50 slots on my B3 so far). And if I put on the other effects from the other pedals using the firmware hack, then the Tonelib software won't recognise them (although I think there is a browser-based patch editor, which is a must seeing as the pedal only only has one screen). I think my ideal scenario is, if I can accept that the B3 has a 3-effect limit (which is annoying but not the end of the world), is there any way I can use a footswitch to scroll through the patches, whilst still being able to turn off individual effects? Will the Disaster Area DMC.micro or DMC-3XL solve this problem? I already have the Digitech FS3X footswitch that I use for my SDRUM, but annoyingly it isn't compatible with Zoom devices - and I don't want to start attempting to mod my own electronics... I've already had a look at Ashbass and the mods look too complicated.
  2. Thanks for all the replies. I've learned that the MS50G, MS60B, MS70CDR can all share effects by using a 3rd party software, which is pretty awesome! But now I'm wondering, maybe I'll go for the MS50G or MS70CDR, as they can have up to 6 effects in a row rather than the MS60B which can only have 4... But I also read somewhere that the extra added effects cannot be read by the Tonelib editing software, meaning all the patch editing would need to be done on the stompbox which isn't very handy
  3. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  4. I don't know guys... I'm leaning more towards the MS60B - according to this it has around 152 bass-specific effects! https://zoomcorp.com/media/documents/E_MS-60B_FX-list_v2.pdf
  5. Hi all, I currently use a Zoom B3 with no other effects pedals (apart from the SpectraComp on my RH750). The Zoom has been great although none of the effects sound *that* great. But you get what you pay for. One effect in particular, the octaver, is not good and distorts with anything below an A (standard tuning) which turns into mud. So I then said to myself, "Ok I'll just buy a separate dedicated octaver!" That's now opened up a wormhole... And not just because there are so many octavers to choose from... I now find myself looking at different small pedal boards to buy (never used one before) and am considering selling the B3 as it would take up too much real estate. I don't need its drum machine function (as I have an SDRUM) and I don't need the looper function (as I have a Boss RC3). I'm now considering one of the following as a suitable alternative to the B3: - Zoom MS60B: Pretty much the same as the B3 but smaller and with less effects, harder to use in a gig situation, unless it's already pre-setup. Also a YouTube hack apparently unlocks more effects... - Zoom MS100BT: Don't know much about this, not sure if it's more guitar-orientated. But one forum user highly recommended it in place of the MS60B. Like the MS60B, a YouTube hack can apparently unlock more effects... - Zoom B1four: Seems the same size as the B3 so wouldn't gain any real estate, but newer technology means better sounding effects? - Someone's also told be that the Line 6 Pod X3 is miles ahead of the Zoom pedals in terms of effects quality, so now I just don't know what to do! Haha. I always thought the Line 6 gear was quite dated... Any sage advice would be greatly appreciated!!
  6. Thanks for the replies, please close this thread as I've made another similar thread.
  7. Thanks for the feedback. I'm also considering the MS100BT as heard good things but don't know much about it
  8. Hi all, I'm trying to make some room on a pedal board (that I've yet to get), and one way to gain real estate is to get rid of my big old Zoom B3. I'm thinking about 'downgrading' to the smaller Zoom MS60B - does anyone know how much I'll lose out on? Thanks
  9. Excellent stereo looper with lots of extras, including bpm setting, sync modes, record to memory card, etc. The pedal is in good condition, only seen a little use. I no longer have the box, but I will include a 9V 1.3A power supply. It can also be powered with any standard 9V power supply or battery.
  10. Oh, so when using an aux-in I have to play through headphones? That's a bummer
  11. Wait what?? Headphone-only aux-in? That makes no sense... Headphones are an output device. Why can't I plug in an mp3 player like literally every other amp?
  12. Hi all, Just tried to use the aux-in on my TC RH750 for the first time, and can't get it to work. I want to play drums off youtube on my phone, so I plugged it in the back using a 3.5mm jack... but no sound... Am I doing something wrong?
  13. Just noticed he's got Mesa cabs, must have been before GK
  14. Hi all, I currently jam with my drummer in Leamington, looking for a guitarist to join us. Alternatively I'd love to start some new projects. Based in both North London and Coventry

    True bypass

    Hi all, Just curious, is the Zoom B3 true bypass? I was told it is but when I play through it on the bypass setting, I can't help but feel it's sucking some of the tone...
  16. Hi all, I've got my own portable bass rig and occasionally jam with a friend who plays drums. He doesn't own a drumkit so we have to pay for a rehersal stuido. Is there a good place/forum where I can find other drummers and maybe a guitarist? It would be good if I could find someone who owns their own drumkit! Or if anyone here knows anybody, I'm North London/Coventry, late 20's, into funk rock. Cheers
  17. Hi all, Selling a Bergantino AE410 in perfect condition as I'm not using it and it needs a new loving home. By far the best cab I've ever owned, it's a complete monster. Definitely a one-cab solution, also very lightweight for a 4x10. Can't describe how light it is, 28kg - one of the lightest if not the lightest 4x10 ever made... Comes with Berg padded cover and heavy duty castors. Collection from either London, Leamington, Coventry. Specs from Bassdirect: This cabinet delivers! It has everything a bass player needs for larger gigs with it's balanced sound and clear tone. With plenty of volume on tap, the AE410 delivers serious bass end with tight, punchy midrange, clear and transparent highs and will take all that you throw at it and remain controlled and uncluttered. If you are struggling to be heard this maybe the perfect cab for you in a compact lightweight and super efficient package. Another classic from Bergantino - a one-cab-does-all solution. Model AE410 specifications: •4 x 10" Custom Neodymium Driver with 7oz magnet and vented pole pieces •high intelligibility 1" tweeter •custom phase - coherent crossover with tweeter level control •power handling - 800 watts rms •frequency response: 40hz - 18khz •sensitivity: 103db 1 watt/1 meter •2 x 1/4" and 2 x neutrik connectors •impedance: 4 ohms •dimensions: 22 3/4" W x 25 1/2" H x 15 1/2" D - 55.9cm x 64.8cm x 39.4cm •weight: 62lbs/28 Kgs •This cab works well with high power amplifiers from 500 - 1000w at 4Ω AE (Advanced Engineering) PASSIVE SERIES Having design speakers cabinets and drivers for some of the worlds leading manufacturers, Jim Bergantino has over the past few years been putting his vast knowledge into one of the most acclaimed range of bass guitar cabinets available today. This new generation of Neodymium speakers finally addresses the shortcoming of regular "Neo" speakers and offer you the clarity, definition and bottom end you have come to expect from Bergantino bass cabinets. The new AE range use only the highest quality tweeters, they are the same as in the HS series cabs, and studio quality "transparent" cross overs for detailed smooth top end. There is a new birch cabinet design that utilises the same 19mm "void free" Baltic Birch as all the other Bergantino speakers but with a new highly durable spray on finish. The cabs also feature durable bottom feet and top recessed feet docks (on the AE112 and AE210) to aid stacking cabinets .
  18. Beat Buddy drum pedal - good condition works perfectly. Boxed with power supply.
