mr zed Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Well don't. The Zoom B9.1UT is better and on offer at DV247 & GAK at £99. Various threads already on here about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTaff Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I like mine, I don't use the modelling much, it's mainly for the stuff like choruis, flanger, autowah and to change the eq between fingers & pick, all of which it does fine for me. I considered replacing it with the b9.1ut before coming to the conclusion that it's just too big, it's another big piece of gear to carry that for my use won't really make much difference in sound, whereas the b2 fits in a backpack along with my cables, tools, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gub Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 Thing is mr zed I can pick one up for £40 and only really want the effects like chorus , Oct, compressor and also the tuner , don't want the size or of the b9 and like things to be simple !

I use it mostly with different eq settings with different banks for both fretted and fretless. I never have to touch the amp (set flat ) except for the initial tweek depending on the room. I very rarely use effects but I have a few set to different banks. The tuner is a nice bonus but really the pedal is just a very good pre-amp for my use with enough variation in tones to suit me.

[/quote] Fair enough Gub. Didn't want you to miss out on the B9.1 if you weren't aware of it as it seems like really good value. However things should be bought because they are needed/wanted rather than because 'it is a bit of a bargain'. Good look with your search.

daz Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I don't know about the B2, but I have the B2.1u that comes with pedal and usb connection to computer. I often use it to record to computer via Audacity softwear. It is pretty handy for what it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
