The Zoom B3n lets you create your own original sound, no matter the kind of music you play. In this video we will go over the ins and outs and basic operation of the Zoom B3n.

Hi everyone, this is John from Zoom and I’m here to introduce you to the B3n Multi-Effects Processor for Bassists. The B3n is equipped with intuitive editing features and pre-loaded amp, cabinet, and stompbox effects, so you can modify your bass tone at home, on stage, or in the studio.

The B3n has a mono ¼” input with both mono and stereo ¼” output options.

With the ⅛” AUX input, you can play along to backing tracks from your phone, computer, or other music playback device.

The B3n is powered by the Zoom AD-16 power adapter.

A USB port lets you connect your B3n to a computer to download new effects, amps, and cabinets from Zoom as well as install and manage patches via our free Zoom Guitar Lab software.

Each pedal has two modes: MEMORY mode and STOMP mode. Press the MEMORY/STOMP button to toggle between modes. When using MEMORY mode, you can switch between different patches. A patch contains a chain of effects, amps, and cabinets — like a full pedalboard and rig. Within a patch, effects can be tweaked and turned on and off—just like using your favorite boutique pedal. In addition to using and editing the unit’s preset patches, you can also create your own custom patches.

When using STOMP mode, you can turn individual effects on and off within the different patches.

Depending on which mode you’re using, the pedal’s scroll buttons will have different functions.

When using MEMORY mode, the SCROLL buttons will switch between banks of patches that appear on the pedal's displays. This will change which effects are available via footswitch.

When using STOMP mode, the SCROLL buttons will change which individual effects are highlighted, and can be controlled with the 3 footswitches.

Use the MENU button to access general settings and the control knob to navigate through options; press the control knob to make a selection. Options include adding or deleting effects, rearranging effects within a patch chain, or renaming and storing the patch.

To add effects to your patch, press the MENU button and use the control knob to select ADD. If 7 effect slots are already in use, the ADD option will not be available. Press the control knob to enter the add screen and choose where the effect will appear in the chain. Then use the up and down Type buttons to choose the effect type. Most effects will be assigned to the footswitches while pedal effects can be assigned to an external Zoom FP-02M foot pedal, which is sold separately.

To re-order your effects chain, press “Menu”, then use the control knob to find the CHAIN option and select it. Use the control knob to highlight the effect you wish to move, then push the knob to select the desired effect.

To exit the add effect screen, simply press the menu button. This will take you back to the home screen.

To remove an effect from your patch, go to MENU then select DELETE.

To edit the name of a patch, go to MENU then select PATCH. Scroll and select to change letters and rename the patch.

To save the patch, go to MENU then select SAVE. You can either overwrite the current patch, overwrite another existing patch, or save to an empty patch slot.

To adjust effect parameters on your B3n, use the knobs below the display for each footswitch. Each category of effects will have different adjustable parameters.
