ZOOM B2

Features Thank you for selecting the
ZOOM B2
(hereafter simply called the "
B2
"). The B2 is a multi effect
processor with the following features and functions.
●
Latest technology for outstanding performance
96 kHz / 24 bit sampling (with 32 bit internal processing) assures excellent sound quality. The B2 carves
out a sonic outline in superb detail while preserving the original sound character of the bass guitar.
●
Versatile palette of effects
Out of a total of 47 effects, up to nine (including ZNR) can be used simultaneously. The dazzling
choices provided by the B2 include distortion effects modeled on famous amps and compact effects,
compressor/limiter effects for dynamic punch, a parametric equalizer essential for working on sonic
nuances, as well as various delay and modulation effects. Both in quality and versatility, the B2 far
surpasses anything in its class. You can even transform the output into a cool synth bass or fretless bass
sound.
●
Really usable patches straight out of the box
Effect module combinations are stored and called up in units referred to as patches. The B2 comes with
a full complement of 40 read-only plus 40 user-programmable patches, giving you 80 great reasons to
start grooving.
●
Great for live performances and direct recording
The distortion effects have a special parameter that selects whether to apply only the head amp
characteristics or add also the cabinet sound. This lets you use the B2 effectively not only for a live
performance but also when feeding the signal directly to a recorder.
●
Integrated auto-chromatic tuner and rhythm functions
Realistic PCM sound sources are available to auto-play a number of rhythm patterns. This is convenient
for use as a metronome during practice or to provide a simple rhythm part for a quick session. An auto-
chromatic tuner for bass guitar is also built right into the unit, including a function for silent tuning
which lets you easily tune your instrument on stage.
●
Sophisticated user interface
The combination of a rotary type selector and three parameter knobs make the effect editing process
intuitive and quick. The mute interval when switching patches has been reduced to less than 8
milliseconds. Seamless patch changing is now a reality.
●
Dual power supply principle allows use anywhere
The B2 can be powered from four IEC R6 (size AA) batteries or an AC adapter. Continuous operating
time on batteries is approximately 7.5 hours with alkaline batteries.
●
Easy operation with foot switch and expression pedal
An optional foot switch (FS01) or expression pedal (FP01/FP02) can be connected to the CONTROL IN
jack. The foot switch is convenient for quickly switching effect programs, setting the tempo for the
rhythm function, or switching delay hold on and off. The expression pedal can be used to adjust the
volume or the tonal quality of an effect in real time.
Please take the time to read this manual carefully so as to get the most out of the unit and to ensure
optimum performance and reliability.
