Versatile and Affordable!

I bought it almost three years ago and still use it daily. From my experience, virtually any sound can be achieved with this device. Love it!

quality - just perfect.

All in one fun

For an all in one unit at this price, its hard to beat. Effects, amps, a looper and some beats, not forgetting a tuner. Powered either usb, batteries or mains its as portable as it gets, I use a power pack to the usb for outside playing/practice and listen via headphones. If you want a bit of everything then this unit has it.

Difficult to find more for less $$$

I use it at home just for practicing but I think it would survive serious gigs mounted on the pedalboard despite the plastic case. Easy and fun to use, even more powerful with Guitar Lab. Solid sound through the amp, solid on headphones. Effects are emulated correctly, amps too. It will keep you busy for months.

Bang for the buck

only had mine for about 1 week, but there is not much i can complain about, the plastic case feels sturdy enough to handle a few drops (would not try it thou).

the sound is ok, thou i get some background buzzing when i have it connected to my Bass amp

swaping throu the settings and sound effects is somewhat easy, but it could be a bit confusing in the start

the only "negative" i can say about this is when it comes to the software, i had to try 5 diffrent USB cables before the software "found" the B1X

but overall its a fun thing, with tons of settings, aswell as a somewhat good Loop,

an easy and good tuner

the built in drum machine sound good

Almost Perfect

Now with Amp and Cabinet emulators, it is already superior to the old Zooms. Easy to use interface, and with multiple soung crafting options. My only reservation is, its made from Plastic, not metal which i would prefer. But still seems sturdy enough for touring and studio work ! Aside from that, and this goes for the Guitar version i also have. The new zoom pedals, are almost perfect for all situations, and levels of play !

Nice toy to play with

This is my first ever bass pedal, I didn't know what to expect, I just remembered the name "Zoom" from recommendations ), saw it here and decided to try out. Not that I really needed any effects, was just curious how it sounds.

There are plenty of different effects inside and you can download new ones and make... your own? I didn't get into details yet, just used stock ones already there in. And it's pretty fun!

Some experienced people said it's for beginners and it's not well-built, but as I see it, it looks and feels sturdy and sounds great when I have nothing to compare it with.

Oh, and the pedal, as far as I understood, is only for WahWah effect, other than that it can turn effects on and off when you push it.

I'd recommend it for beginners like myself if you want not expensive multy effect box to try and understand if you need any effects and how they sound with your bass.

Amazing, for both bass and guitar. Many high quality digital effects for the price of one.

This multi-effect had some features I didn't even know about when I went to buy it, I just wanted some distortion and chorus for my bass at a cheap price. I don't have any former experience with non VST plugin effects but this seems to do the job for me. The pedal that can be used for wah and volume has a toggle switch that is a bit difficult to activate but it works fine. I tried it on guitar and it works amazingly. The construction is completely plastic but it seems fairly sturdy and it doesn't seem like it'll fall apart in the middle of a session. Overall just a great buy and I am so happy that I have a looper for playing alone at my own house and a nice effects pedal for getting sounds while playing with my bands.
