"Zoom B1. A great product. Just go and buy one."

Feature:
You get a Tuner, a headphone amp, a Drum machine to practice to, a preamp, a chorus, a flanger, a echo unit and cool bassamp sounds for about US$50. It doesnt get any better than this.

Quality:
Even if it is a plastic case it seems pretty strong.

Value:
Its a bargain. Great product for a great price. Dont even hesitate, go a buy one.

Desirability:
I will be able to use this with just a power amp and speakers. No need for a preamp as you can dial up a great sound.

Sound:
I tried out the zoom B1 after being disappointed with some Korg machines that were noisey as hell. They were full of digital hashy fuzz. The B1 is Quiet, no digital fuzz and no background noise. Brilliant. The effects are excellent but overall I select either the Fender Bassman or the Tube Preamp sound. The drum sounds are great.

Ease of Use:
Read the manual and away you go. It only took me an hour or two to get familiar with the unit. It makes sense and I like the simplisity.

Support:
Its only new so I have had to use the warranty

Overall:
I dont want lots of features and controls to confuse me. I just want a great sound without to much trouble. With the B1 just dial it in. I looked at the B2 but it had the same sounds with more parameter control. This is not necessary as the B1 provides plenty of variation if you want it.

"Throws "too good to be true" in the garbage"

Feature:
this pedal would make (and has made) an awesome first pedal, it has pretty much everything a bassist could want, a built in drum machine really helps in my case, because our band at the moment is lacking a drummer =D but with the basic customization of your sound, theres always a new riff or solo poping in your head going "hey, I should play this with that patch"

Quality:
at first, of course, I was skeptic about buying a plastic pedal, but all in all, but it's made of some really thick plastic, I doubt it will ever crack, snap, or break in any way unless your really trying to.

Value:
i've looked at like, $300 pedals, and even more than that, and so far, this is the best pedal, for the best value i've seen by far

Desirability:
kinda like your first real relationship at first your kinda nervous about buying it, because "it's too good to be true" or "all the other ones have let me down" but once you have got it in your arms, and after your play and learn all of the patches, and beats, exc. you've realized that your in love.

Sound:
well, this being my first pedal ever using, I don't know anything about the statistics or anything of the sound, I just hear "good noise, bad noise" and good god this is a amazing noise.

Ease of Use:
after reading the manual and messing around, it became like a part of me, Im still a little bit in the dark about what some words and symbols mean, and the "PLAY" button should be out enough to hit it with your foot, for those non-druming intros, but other then that, its easy.

Support:
havn't had to deal with the company yet, and I doubt ill have to

Overall:
this will/is a vital part of my bass playing, and I doubt ill ever find anything else to replace it, its an amazing pedal, for an AMAZING price, and all in all, you must buy it.
