With an expression pedal for live adjustment of volume, wah, and effects, the Zoom B1X FOUR multi-effects pedal makes it easy to craft expressive bass tones.

I haven't learned but about 40 percent of what this unit is capable of as it has many features. The controls on board give a lot of flexibility. Whether you are a newbie or have been around the Horn I feel this pedal is worth more than it costs, way more in fact. Build quality is very good and it seems quite rugged. I set all controls on my amps to flat response and adjust the curve with the onboard tone controls.

If you haven't picked up a pedal and aren't quite sure where to start - this is a great pedal to pick up. Why?1. Multieffects. Obviously. And they get updated and increased. You can try out quite a few types of effects without sinking money into individual pedals. When you get a feel for what you like or want, you can pick up bespoke pedals and set up a chain. Or just keep using this. 2. Utility. This has a tuner built in - mind you, I think my Snark does a better, more precise job, but this has one built in, as well as a bit of a rhythm kit and - bonus - in a pinch you can plug headphones into the output and use this as a practice amp - with your effects, without having to bother anyone else. 3. Value. C'mon, it's under $100. To experiment with sounds without dropping hundreds of dollars on other pedals (or risking cheap $20 pedals from some unknown Chinese site?) Worth it. Now, yes, it's plastic. I haven't had it a *long* time, so I can't say how this will hold up. And the expression pedal could be larger - just for more precise use (though there's also a version without it if you don't want to mess with wah or volume swells or some of the other effects that take advantage.) But overall? It's a good item to pick up.
Musical Background:
Playing something since 5th grade with few breaks here and there - woodwinds, guitar, bass, some piano.
