Much easier to get the hang of than the B3. Sounds good, small size, good tuner, great price. This is a simple, reasonable device to take with you to gigs, and I sure it works well for recording and practice. The case is plastic, but it seems durable (and the previous models were durable enough), and with such a compact footprint, this can easily be mounted with velcro to the top of most amps (that do not have a top handle), making it a useful, easy-to-read tool at a session or gig.

I am a 50 yo music lover but not a bassist, just a doodler. I use cheapo 15w Fatboy amp and cheapo Washburn Bass guitar which needs some tuning. Did not RTFM so could not really use the B1-Four until I installed the Windows App and connected The B1-4 to Laptop, Amp and Bass. Now I can choose a patch from the app and just jam to it.
The included drum beats are kind of basic but I guess they are useful for practice.
Also this was probably designed for a more powerful amp ; I have to keep volume low on my amp but I do get a very decent Bass sound. I hope I can figure out how to combine the effects to make more sounds but there are a few cool patches that I like. This gizmo does tend to highlight my newbie Bass plucking so it is harder for me to jam but maybe I will develop better technique. I previously connected the Bass to a Voxx guitar StompBox and I guess the electronics kinda hid my sloppy technique. I can't see how this would be useful for a gig but for basement jamming this is worth it

First up, I'll say the negative, the pedals & settings can be frustrating. If you hit the wrong pedals in order, it will highlight your effect and then switch it. The Zoom software isn't that good but you do get a few extra goodies to download. Download Tonelib, it's super user friendly and easy to use while creating your perfect sound. I really dig the USB interface feature. The EFX are fantastic, I don't use the cabs but the rest are really nice. I still use some of my other stomp boxes to build body on the sound but this really rocks. For 100 bucks? Man, you can't beat it! All in all, this is something that I would have paid 2x+ as much for, especially if I didn't know any better. I have been looking for a bass efx processor but didn't want to break the bank. I was surprised by the ratings. I had the old several years ago and BX and it sucked. This is an entirely new beast. You get a lot of stuff and it really saves some space on my pedal board. Thumbs up!

I received this with high hopes for it based on the reviews. Started off using the batteries included and loved the sounds I got from it. Some are just silly, especially for a hobbyist like me, but others were quite useful. The documents provided state that you can use USB to power the unit. After the batteries gave a low battery signal, I started using the USB port to power it and all was well for a couple of weeks. Then I was tuning up and started getting what sounded like a bad connection or a blown speaker. Plugged the bass guitar into the amp directly and no problems. Tried it again several days later and seemed better although it seemed the signal going to the amp was too hot. Also got the "popping" sound at the beginning of the notes played. I contacted Zoom customer service and they did respond quickly stating that the unit was not designed to use USB power, use only batteries or their power adapter. After I pointed out to them that their own literature said it could be powered by USB, the company said that it could be a bad unit and after an information request, said they emailed a return authorization (if they did, it didn't show up-not even in Spam). Finally did get a return authorization from Zoom, but also a message that they units were back-ordered and they had no idea when they would be in stock again. I just decided to return it to Amazon. Enjoyed the sound of the Zoom B1X Four, but think I'll look at some other manufacturer for a multi-pedal.

This box of effects is a lot of fun.
I primarily bought the B1 to fill out my pedal board with effects I don't own dedicated pedals for, but I could easily use it all by itself. The Guitar Lab software also makes creating and editing patches a pretty easy process. This is definitely a five star product from a feature set perspective.
There are a couple of things that caused me to drop a star.
First, is that to use Guitar Lab or perform firmware updates, you have to provide your own USB Sync cable. All of the cables I had on hand we're charge only, so I had to go buy one. You'd think that a device so heavily dependent upon a connection to my computer would have had a cable in the box.
The other challenge I had was with the display. When you run in Stomp mode, any effect that's not active is represented by a bunch of pixels. This means you have to memorize which effect in your chain each pedal represents. Otherwise, you might accidentally turn on your distortion rather than your chorus in the middle of a gig.
Other than those two frustrations, it really is a great piece of gear. I just wish it was a little more user friendly.

This unit has great sound quality, and loads of features for the money. I am a guitarist, but have an old Squire Affinity P-bass upgraded with brass saddles, a Tusq nut, wiring from Sigler Music (920D), Seymore Duncan SPB-2 (hot P-bass) pickups, and some good copper cavity shielding -- I didn't want to buy a dedicated mic and bass amp just to demo my stuff, and this ties it all together -- I really only wanted compression, and amp modeling (which this does well enough for me) but it also has a ton of the famous Zoom effects that might be useful -- they are fun to mess with at the very least. As a bonus, there's a looper and some beats that are good for spicing up practice.

I am a bass player that never really ever used effects until I joined a cover band and needed different sounds for a couple different songs. I didn't want to spend too much money so I originally bough a ZOOM B2 second hand. I loved it but it was not that easy to set up effects so that was why I bought the B1 Four. It is so much easier to change the settings of a patch or each effect separately. I love the Stomp mode where it looks like a pedal board and you can add/change effects or just adjust each effect separately. This is the perfect multi-effects pedal for me and the overall effects and patches are great. For the money this might be the best multi-effects pedal out there.

Most of the effects aren't as high quality as dedicated analog pedals, but they're usable, at least to my ears. Frankly, in a band setting I can't tell much difference between these effects and the those costing much more. The pedal is fairly easy to set up, but is extremely easy to edit via USB connection using the GuitarLab software that can be downloaded from Zoom website. I mostly don't use effects when playing with bands but this Zoom is fine for the occasional time when I want to add something different, or the song requires it. I'm not concerned about the plastic housing and controls since the unit seems well built and I take great care of my gear, so durability shouldn't become an issue.

It seems to me after several attempts trying to get music in to device that it will only play in mono and not stereo. Changing to a stereo cord has not been successful. I use this same cord for music in my electronic drums and it plays in stereo. Overall I like the product. More of a toy but I understood that when I bought. Very disappointed in how it is advertised on Amazon and very bad customer service. They do not respond.

The Zoom B1 FOUR Bass Guitar Multi-Effects Processor Pedal has a good variety of bass effects; most are useful. I like the ability to easily modify and fine-tune an EFX, just the way I want it. The rudimentary drum tracks are good for practicing different genres and tempos. The case is made from thick plastic. I think it is strong enough for lite duty stage or studio work, but I would worry about it holding up if you are hard on your stomp box effects. It is acoustically quiet; no hums, buzz's, crackling, etc. Great value for the money. I like it.

I bought this so I had something to use for practicing while traveling. It has exceeded my expectations. I’ve been using it with my 5 string plugged directly in, powered by my USB port on my computer and stereo 1/8” to 1/8” plugged into the aux from computer headphone out so I can transcribe some tunes.
It is very intuitive to use. Everything just seems to make sense. Each feature is easy to access, easy to edit, and easy to bypass. It doesn’t look like it will fall apart too quickly.
It packs a lot of features for the price:
Headphone amp,
Simple 2 channel mixer,
Tuner,
Rhythm machine,
Looper,
Multi-effects processor,
Amp/cab simulator
While I'm just using it for practice at the moment I would like to eventually try it with a FRFR speaker. I could see it replacing my combo amp.

This is a fantastic effects pedal. No complaints because it's everything I expected and wanted... It's easy to use, has tons of selections, it's small, it's not hollow, it actually has some weight to it which means that it's not easy to break unless you throw it against the wall LOL or drop it down a flight of stairs....it came with a power adapter and also has a USB option..... I recommend this to anyone who has an electric guitar or bass or wants to use it for certain voice effects.... Excellent product!!!!

Finally pulled the trigger and bought this bad mofo. After a week of playing around with it I have to say I'm not disappointed. The housing is plastic but it's a sturdy type of plastic. It definitely has some weight to it. The effects themselves sound amazing aside from the cab sims which leave something to be desired. Distortion sounds really great. Effects like the phaser, tremolo, synth, etc. sound amazing as well. Also the amount of customization you can do with this processor is virtually limitless. Its not a replacement for other pedals. That's not its purpose. It's made for those like myself who are on a budget and can't drop fat stacks on gear. And for less than 70 bucks it's for sure a steal. Overall I'm very happy with it.

I have lots of Zoom products and this one didn't disappoint. Lots of great effects. A drum machine, a tuner, an expression/ wah pedal and a looper. I did have a problem with getting the software to download to my computer. It's not a big deal. Buy it anyway!

This thing rocks. It's got a silly number of available effects, and lets the user adjust the settings of each pedal. The built-in rhythms come in a variety of styles and counts (majority are 4/4 but there are some 3/4, 5/4, 12/8). Easy to use. Interfaces very nicely. Only one effect, #39 named Explosion, is essentially useless (Every note is just a very loud sound. There's no difference between playing high neck G or low neck E). Other than that this thing is sick. Gives you 40+ effects and pedal options for the price of one. Can't comment on the durability though, haven't had it very long, but the plastic housing seems fairly strong. 10/10 would recommend.

The presets are fun, for about an hour. Then, if you actually have an ear for sound, they need to be heavily modified.
The only reason this does not get 1 star is that you can actually modify the sounds. They are still not as clean as through a good sound board, but if you are treating it like a practice/motivator, then it's ok.
Probably priced about 30% more than it is worth.

This is the second zoom pedal for bass that I have owned. All seems well in the feature set but the audio quality is not great as there is a perceivable fuzziness that overlays the audio output when playing. It is particularly apparent when recording in the studio. I am now reverting to the decade old digitech and zoom 506.

You have to make some considerable adjustments to take some of the noise out of some of the kits. But for the money is one of the best out there. You could also use it on stage under those conditions the little noise in some of the kits would not matter.

These pedals are a fantastic value for the money. There is a large variety of effects and amp simulations based off real world devices and they sound great! Some people complain about being made of plastic but unless you're 400 pounds and jumping up and down on it like a trampoline, you'll be fine. I have an older zoom pedal made of the same stuff that's 20 years old and it looks just fine.
My only real gripe with it is the description says the expression pedal can be assigned to practically any effect but this is not true at all. There are a few volume and wah effects you can assign to the expression pedal and that's it. For $30 more though to have those functions at least available? Might be worth it or not.

The size was perfect for my pedal board and the beats were fun but the effects were not as interesting and diverse as I had hoped for. If fact, most of the effects sounded the same. Just a few of the effects were far out. My hunt for my ideal multi effects pedal continues.

Great sounds, good drum patches, and though its plastic it seems like it will survive WW 3. Zoom does a great job of giving you gear that you can practice with and gig in a pinch for a price that won't break the bank.

I had the old Zoom BFX processor years ago, and that was good, but this new model is better. Sounds banks are easier to navigate. Preset effects are good and easy to use. Drum tracks are easy to use too, and good for practicing and playing by yourself. I haven't tried making any custom sounds yet, so I don't know how easy that is.
As with the old BFX, the pedal isn't spring-loaded, so using it for a manual wah effect wouldn't be great. But if you're just looking for a processor to add an auto-wah, a little distortion, a chorus effect, or a snappy edge to your bass playing, this is a great little toy to get.

Bought this pedal simply because i needed a basic compressor. So i saw this multi effect zoom and figured i'd grab it for the price. I consider myself a above average player and gear geek. I primarily am into a metal or hard rock sound. I've actually used this pedal with my main set up for shows although it is PERFECT for home playing. It has a AUX input as well as headphone jack that comes in handy. It took me a minute to understand how to build and navigate. I got it down pretty solid and i'm overall impressed. Compressor, EQ, and slight Distortion for the win! Worth the money!

Lots of voices / effects. Well built, works great for bar band application...probably not heavy duty enough for touring pros...but pretty cool for semi-pro use.
