Feels just like using effect pedals
The three effects each have their own displays, parameter knobs and footswitches, allowing
you to control all of them intuitively.
Realistic amplifier modeling
With our new ZFX-4 DSP, we have magnificently recreated low-end thickness, pitch clarity
and loudness, which are elements that contribute to a natural playing feel. Models range
from famous historical amps to recent popular ones, covering a great variety of bass sounds.
Combine diverse effects as you like
You can freely combine the over 100 types of onboard effects, including preamps and stomp
boxes tuned for bass guitars.
Looper that can be synchronized with rhythms
The looper can be synchronized with rhythms and record phrases of up to 40 seconds.
Automatic saving
The auto save function reliably stores the changes you make.
Works with ZOOM Edit & Share software
The can be used with Edit & Share software, which is a patch editor and librarian, on a
computer to back up patches and change the order of effects.
See the ZOOM website (http://www.zoom.co.jp/) for further information about Edit & Share.
