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

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
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.
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.
Features
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.
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.
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.
Manufacturer Support
Its only new so I have had to use the warranty
The Wow Factor
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.
