Zoom B6

I got this as I needed bass effects and DI box for gigs. I didn’t want to go the individual pedal route as it was too much hassle for me. Firstly the gold- unit was well priced, well constructed from good quality plastic with a nice carbon style finish, is light and has a good range of effects. The DI function is fantastic and some of the pre-sets are awesome. Now, the only big negative (besides not including the Bluetooth adapter so you can use in a phone/iPad etc.)for me is that I find this unit EXTREMELY difficult to program and understand. The fact the manual must be accessed via internet doesn’t help either, and the quick start guide was not really helpful. I’m a novice when it comes to effects boards and processing but this is a huge issue. Lots of homework involved. I’m sure though, once I get the hang of how it works, it’ll be superb. It would have been a 5 rating if it was easier and more intuitive to program your own patches. Still though, a great unit at a great price and 4/5 stars is not bad!!
