Effect Types and Parameters

ZOOM B1/B1X

20

■

DRIVE module

Defret 

This effect makes the sound of a fretted bass resemble that of a fretless bass. Higher setting 
values result in higher effect sensitivity.

Slow Attack 

This effect reduces the attack rate of each individual note, producing a violin playing style 
sound. Higher setting values result in slower attack times.

Pedal Vox 

This effect simulates the half-open sound of a vintage Vox wah pedal. Higher setting values 
result in higher emphasized frequency. 

This module includes 13 types of amp/stomp box modeling effects and a bass synthesizer. 
For this module, DRIVE (effect type), GAIN (parameter 1), and MIX (parameter 2) can be 
adjusted separately. 

DRIVE (Type)

Selects the effect type for the DRIVE module. 

AMPEG

SUPER BASS 

Effect modeled on the sound of the 
ultimate rock bass amp, the Ampeg SVT. 

Simulation of the Marshall Super Bass 
head amp that has made rock history. 

SWR

ACOUSTIC

Simulation of the SWR SM-900, 
famous for its hi-fi sound.

Effect modeled on the sound of the 
Acoustic 360 with its tight midrange. 

BASSMAN

HARTKE 

Effect modeled on the sound of the 
Fender Bassman 100.

Simulation of the Hartke HA3500 
famous for its aluminum cone. 

TRACE ELLIOT

TUBE PRE 

Effect modeled on the sound of the 
Trace Elliot AH-500. 

ZOOM original tube preamplifier 
sound.

SANSAMP TS9 

Simulation of the Sansamp Bass Driver 
DI, highly popular among bass players. 

Simulation of the Tube Screamer used 
by many guitarists as a booster. 

ODB-3

MXR BASS DI 

Simulates the ODB-3 overdrive bass 
machine from Boss. 

Simulates the MXR Bass D.I.+ 
distortion channel. 

FUZZFACE MONO 

SYN 

Simulation of the Fuzz Face that made 
rock history with its zany look and 
smashing sound. 

This is a monophonic bass synthesizer 
(for single-note playing) that detects 
the pitch of the input signal. 

GAIN (Prm1)

Sets the DRIVE module parameter 1. The parameter type depends on the 
currently selected effect type.

When distortion effect type is selected 

Gain

Adjusts the gain (distortion depth).

EQ module

■

ZNR/AMP (ZNR/Amp Simulator) module

When MONO SYN effect type is selected 

Variation

Allows selection of the oscillator waveform type and tone variation. Available settings are "s" 
(sawtooth), "p" (square), and "m" (PWM = pulse width modulation). 

MIX (Prm2) 

Sets the DRIVE module parameter 2. This parameter is the same for all effect 
types. 

Mix 

Sets the mixing balance between the signal before the DRIVE module and the signal after 
passing the module. Higher setting values result in more drive sound.   

This is a 3-band equalizer. For this module, the three items EQ LO, EQ MID, and EQ HI can be 
adjusted separately.

EQ LO (Prm)

EQ MID (Prm)

EQ HI (Prm)

Adjusts the LO 
band of the EQ 
module.

Adjusts the MID 
band of the EQ 
module.

Adjusts the HI 
band of the EQ 
module.

Lo

Mid

Hi

Adjusts the low 
range (70Hz) boost/
cut.

Adjusts the 
midrange (450 Hz) 
boost/cut.

Adjusts the high 
range (3 kHz) boost/
cut.

This module combines two elements. ZNR is a noise reduction circuit developed by ZOOM 
which removes noise during play pauses without affecting sound quality. The amp simulator 
recreates the sound of speaker cabinets.

ZNR/AMP (Type&Prm)

Selects ZNR sensitivity and amp simulator type at the same time.

ZNR (ZOOM Noise Reduction) 

This is the noise reduction function only. Higher setting values result in stronger effect. Set the 
value as high as possible without causing the sound to be cut off unnaturally. 

AMP&ZNR (Amp Simulator & ZNR) 

Combination of ZNR with bass amp cabinet simulator. The right-digit value controls ZNR 
sensitivity.
