Zoom B2 Four Bass Guitar Multi-Effect Pedal

Full Description

Flexible tone control with huge library of effects

With an impressive selection of 104 effects, including models of legendary boutique effects and preamps, the B2 FOUR allows you to mix and match up to five effects and amps simultaneously to create your own unique sound. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a beginner, you'll have total control over your tone.

Perfect for live performances and studio work with 250 presets

The B2 FOUR is designed with live performances in mind. Its lightweight, portable design makes it easy to take with you wherever you go. It features six DI models that recreate the sound of world-class direct boxes. From the rich harmonics and thick low frequencies of Tube 1 to the clear attack and tight low frequencies of Tube 2, you can achieve the sound you want with ease.

The B2 FOUR is loaded with 250 presets designed to help bassists recreate classic sounds from the 1950s to today. With these patches, you'll have everything you need to achieve the perfect tone for any song. The B2 FOUR makes it easy to customize your sound with four rotary encoders that allow for quick adjustments to effects parameters and output settings. The cross key navigation buttons make the pedal easy to control, so you can focus on your performance.

Built-in looper and versatile connectivity options

The B2 FOUR is perfect for jamming and rehearsing. The built-in 60-second looper allows you to build grooves, while the 68 rhythm patterns from the on-board drum machine provide the perfect accompaniment for practice. Connect the B2 FOUR directly to a PA or interface with the balanced output, or use the stereo outputs to connect to an amp.

The instrument input features a switch to change the impedance from 1M to 10M ohms, giving you a cleaner tone for upright basses equipped with piezo pickups. The B2 FOUR can double as a 2-in/2-out audio interface by connecting to a computer or smartphone with your favourite effects and amp models. This makes it easy to record your practice sessions or performances directly to your device.

Cutting-edge multi-layer IR technology

One of the standout features of the B2 FOUR is Zoom's innovative Multi-Layer IR technology. This technology replicates the iconic tonal characteristics of playing through classic amps and cabinets. Its impulse responses are captured from cabinets at three different levels, and it's all activated based on your bass's volume level. You'll be amazed at the sound you can achieve with this cutting-edge technology.
