Description
Designed to put a panoply of sonic possibilities beneath the feet of electric and acoustic bass players, the Zoom B6 is a multieffects processor, bringing the famous tones of Zoom into the second decade of the 21st century with easy-to-use controls, pristine sounds, loopers, rhythmic patterns, multitudinous I/O options, USB audio interface connectivity, and accessibility support for the visually impaired.Multiple DI types, amp models, cabinet IRs, and preamp emulations abound, all sampled at 88.2 kHz to preserve high-end integrity wherever possible. Use the 4.3" touchscreen and footswitches to set up your perfect tone, or use the guidance of the command system for the visually impaired; it's all been thought out for ergonomics and tonal integrity. Independent variable-Z inputs let you switch seamlessy between active and passive basses. Route sound to headphones, amplifiers, headphones, and line-level sources. Stunning FeaturesFat Bottom End Zoom's new analog circuit in the DI section improves the low frequencies of your instrument.Super Fat Top End With an 88.2 kHz effects processor, the B6 remains pristinely free of unwanted aliasing distortion.4 DI Models Zoom modeled four iconic preamps for this unit. Two tube emulations are on hand: one with rich harmonics, the other with a clear attack and a tight low end. Two solid-state modes are also on hand: one offering sharp tones, subtle compression, and low-end preservation for piezo pickups, the other offering an absolutely clean timbre with little distortion.Supports Instrument Switching Separate inputs allow you to A/B switch from electric bass to synth or acoustic bass, and back again. Both inputs let you change the impedance from 1 to 10 megohms, giving you a cleaner tone for upright basses equipped with piezo pickups.Detailed Amp Models The B6 features 11 classic zoom amp models in history, as well as two brand new amp algorithms.Bass Cab Emulations The B6 provides simulations of 12 classic bass cabinets, each with three variations based on mic positioning.User-Friendly Touchscreen The 4.3" color touchscreen lets you drag, drop, and rearrange effects to build the perfect signal chain in seconds.
