Zoom B6 Multi-Effects Processor for Electric Bass

With an 88.2 kHz effects processor, the B6 remains pristinely free of unwanted aliasing distortion.

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.

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.

The B6 features 11 classic zoom amp models in history, as well as two brand new amp algorithms.

The B6 provides simulations of 12 classic bass cabinets, each with three variations based on mic positioning.

The 4.3" color touchscreen lets you drag, drop, and rearrange effects to build the perfect signal chain in seconds.

This mode lets you scroll up and down through your Banks and Patches by clicking the corresponding foot switch.

Ideal for organizing your patches for performances, the Memory Mode allows the footswitches to activate one of the 4 patches in each bank.

Use the Looper to add layers to your sound.

A solid-state combo amp perfect for jazz, this emulation features a round low midrange with a calm overall tone.

A ZOOM original preamp for super-low sound. Using missing-fundamental acoustic science, SpLoPre is equipped with a bass enhancer, which emphasizes the low end of every note. With a Lo EQ and a minus-one-octave sound, a super-low-end tone is produced.

An original ZOOM preamp recommended for Djent sounds. This preamp combines an undistorted low-end with a strongly distorted high-end to provide a crisp, intense distortion even with a down-tuned 5-string bass.

Modeled after a console's solid-state mic preamp, the SolidPre delivers tight sounding harmonics with the ultralow frequencies cut out.
