Looks like we're getting the single pedal B3 after all!

Last year we all saw the MS-50B advertised but it never materialised. I've just spotted the MS60B on the Zoom website posted this afternoon :


[url="http://www.zoom.co.jp/news/article/506"]http://www.zoom.co.jp/news/article/506[/url]


• Over 50 types of bass effects includes 6 bass amp models
• Use up to four effects simultaneously
• 30 preset patches ready for immediate use
• Create and store up to 50 original patches
• Integrated auto-chromatic tuner
• Tap tempo function
• 1/4-inch input jack, two 1/4-inch output jacks
• Up to seven hours of operation using two AA batteries

I think i'm interested, but slightly miffed that once again the guitarists get six effects at once and we're only allowed 4! Hmmmmm!

Yes likewise! - Well, it seems that NAMM has drawn to a close and from what I've seen online so far, the MS-60B didn't get a mention. I wonder if like last year's MS-50B it won't make it out in to production?

One effect per string?

This looks great, ill definitely be getting one. I dont like those big multi FX boxes (or rack units) as they dont fit in my gig bag, so this seems ideal for my very modest needs.

I quite like the idea of the MS-100BT as well.

Email them and suggest it!

(There has been a bit of an email campaign underway over at TB about this.)

The more people who hassle them about it the more chance they will upgrade the B3's firmware to accept 6 effects per patch.

My Paradriver will be up for sale the moment this becomes available. I'm sure it will have its faults but it seems to be exactly what I've been looking for over the past few years. I don't rely on any pedals at the moment so I won't lose anything if they don't work out, but it will be very handy for at home if nothing else.

Not too impressed with the bass on those demos though. Very sloppy sounding action.

It does a great deal of the B3 in a single stompbox, with a few rather clever options. - I've been totally bogged down with a house move for the last week or so have been unable to give it the beans. I can already confirm that this will be a keeper along with my B3.

Gaaah!! Do the vids Dan, quick!! Does it do the B3 thing only in one 'stompbox'? I sincerely hope so!! :D

Yeah, except it's 4 effects at once, but you can't use an expression pedal with it, or as a USB interface.
