will be picking one of these up tomorrow, thanks admiral

thank you Admiral, this looks really handy, I didn't know! and I don't care if its in the wrong forum or hasn't got pics.

just had another pop at getting the Librarian software to work, no joy I am going to give up on it now as I have sussed the pedal out now, Don't really want to spend too much time messing about with software probs! want to spend time making music
well impressed with this pedal though! sounded great in practice.

Davidsinrocks is really cool, covers a lot of different styles, and really gets in to it. check out his channel

Sweet man, if this was the one on gumtree I had a serious think about getting it myself, Enjoy

I have just figured out how to access the on off function for this switch in any patch press the 'total function ' button.
3 clicks to the right on the 'type' knob (the black ones under the LCD) will access the assignment parameter for PV1.
rotate the 'Parm 4' knob , this will disable or enable the switch under the pedal, it basically bypasses the volume control on the foot pedal.

Thanks Dude, I've tried all of the above except trying another midi device as I havn't got another one. I keep getting the 'Device inquiry timed out' window popping up, the midi in out lights flash on my midi lead so it looks like its trying

Do you think that this release from aria will bump up the value of the original Black'n'golds

I spent a good afternoon with this today and here's a few thoughts in no particular order which may answer some of jimwin's questions...

1) Like so many pieces of kit these days, the manual is really good - if you know how the unit works and just want it as a reference manual. What's missing (and this isn't just Zoom, I find it with almost everything these days) is the Concepts guide that talks you through the basic principles of operation so you can get your head around the approach they've taken.

2) Once you've sussed the above, it's fantastic!

3) Some of the effects, especially the synth-based "special effects" are stereo and, while they work ok through an amp and cab, they really sound best through a stereo output. Not a criticism, just an observation - don't expect the stereo chorus or synth sounds to be at their best without a two channel output. They work brilliantly for recording though!

4) "Play" mode and "Manual" mode are, at first, quite confusing terms - I think of "Play" mode as "Select" mode in that it allows you to quickly navigate to the bank you want. "Manual" mode I think of as "Performance" mode - once you've found the patch you want, you hit F2 (in most patches anyway) and now you have the relevant effects loaded into the individual footswitches and you're good to go. Once I'd sussed this (and maybe it's obvious to everyone else but it took me a while. I am a bear of little brain...), it became much easier to use!

5) Yes, there are loads of patches and lots of parameters to fiddle with but my view is that each patch represents a "virtual" pedalboard that you can configure for your own performance - and to get you started, they've set up a bunch of them so you can find one close to what you want and then fine tune it for yourself. Once I've set up two or three patches, I have, in essence, two or three different pedalboards that I can swap between during a gig for specific songs. Once I have this set up, I don't really envisage making many more changes unless we add more songs to the setlist of I'm doing something a bit different for a recording project. Again, once I'd got my head round this idea, stopped trying to get to grips with all of the parameters that could be changed and instead picked some patches that I liked, modified them and then set them up close together in a user bank the whole unit became much easier to use.

So, in summary, my main criticism is that the manual is missing a "Basic Principles" section but once you've sussed the above, it's a phenomenal piece of kit and I can see myself using it a lot....

Of course, this is only my experience - everyone's different and will have different needs - but if you're as cinfused as I intially was and trying to make sense of it all, I hope the above helps in a small way.

Enjoy

Excellent insight Skinnyman, I too struggled as this is my first Multi Fx unit, I was completely baffled with the amount of Parameters, settings and different Eq sections, but once you understand the concept of changing and storing patches it does become easier to use.
On the whole I think this thing is a keeper for me, I can see it being really useful for all band situations. The main thing for me is that it doesn't change your overall Tone or digitise it too much, just gives it a nice colouration.
Please keep us informed on your experiences with the Librarian software, I still cant get mine to work , I dont know if the usb midi lead I have bought is compatible, its this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190410997530?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I know it was only £4, can anyone recommend one that definitely works.

The switch only works on a few patches ! It will disable the vertical movement but the horizontal still works, i don't think you can assign it to change its function though.
I really like this pedal but the biggest bummer is that you can only have
one pre amp model or a distortion model on at any one time , not both together .

Jaybass - the rubber stop sounds like a neat idea - I wonder if there's meant to be one in place from factory? Did you use the Editor Librarian software to change the function?

Didn't get the librarian software to work unfortunately , i think you can change the setting on the pedal itself ,ill get some time to play with it this aft and ill let you know later ,

its certainly a mystery, I put a rubber top on it, it switches the pedal off or can be programmed to switch between Wah and volume, if i remember rightly
not at home at the Moment so can't have a fiddle.

Its got to be worth it for the Henry 'the thumb' Thomas Rockschool reminiscance value alone, if I was local I'd go and have a look

Has anyone spotted a library for patches on the web anywhere? I want people to do the hard work for me!

this is it dude, http://guitarpatches.com/patches.php?unit=zoomb9&sort=downl

theres a forum about this thing over on Talkbass with a few patch ideas too

jaybass70, another thought , are you running the 64-bit version of Windows 7 ? There are a couple of comments on youtube about the software not working on the 64-bit version and that seems reasonable, given that the software dates from 2008.

If so there are a few ways round it, but the easiest is probably to run Windows 7 compatibility mode. I can't test this, since all my Windoze machines are of the 32-bit variety.

Hj Pete, I am running windows XP home, still in the dark ages here

Edit: It looks like you also need to install the Micro$oft .net framework - do you have that installed?

yeah got that, I am a bit confused about what number midi channel I should send and recieve on (on the zoom itself)
