B3n : Cumbersome

I owned a Zoom B3 before this newer version which, to say the least, is a real downer when it comes to ergonomics. Trying to cram the controls for 7 effects in those 3 little tiny displays is a bad idea to start with. The effects scroll left and right through the pedals so you can't never be really sure of what is actually running, especially when you're in preset display mode.

Plus you have to turn those tiny knobs a whole lot to adjust parameters. There is no speed up whatsoever. And then the displays goes back to showing the preset as soon as you let any knob go. This is cumbersome and useless.

I did not notice a major improvement in sound quality compared to the previous version, which was quite good already. The additional Aux In is a good add-on, but for the rest this new version is quite disappointing.
