Review: Excellent Bass Effects Processor - If you are looking for something to be able to easily adapt your bass sound at a reasonable price, then look no further. The quality of product and sound are top notch. Probably answers why Boss have not produced anything to "update" this since its release in June 2017. It includes 90 unique effects, including 13 different preamp types, which are all specially tuned for bass. It comes with a 32 second looper, built-in tuner and a foot pedal. Connect the unit via USB and use the downloadable Tone Studio software to easily edit your effects and create libraries of sounds ready to apply to the unit for different stage / practice setups. The only thing that you will have to allow for is that it does not come with any power adaptor (set of 4 AA batteries only), so you will need to buy one of these separately. You do not need to buy the very expensive Boss offering mind. Overall a great product and I am very happy with my purchase.
Review: Amazing value and flexibility in a very small package. Updated review after some use. - This is a stunning value unit, offering top end Boss processing at a much lower price than you would expect. the octaves for example tracks very well indeed, something often found lacking when you buy something that is priced in a budget conscious manner. It also fits in the gig bag pocket as advertised! The manual isn't great, but luckily the unit is not difficult to find your way around, and the many online reviews can also help in this regard. The display is bright, has multiple modes, and the three rotary controls make programming quick and easy. The processing power of this unit is seriously impressive. The competition like the Zoom units can't get close on this front. You can for example have an amp model, a synth effect, an octaver, a drive effect, a pedal wah, a noise suppressor, a reverb and a delay all at once. Sometimes there are two of those effects in the Zoom B3 that can't be done together, let alone with everything else. Things like the overtone effects used to create a pipe organ type effect are massively more convincing than the Zoom equivalent too (probably due to the processing power). If you really want more than one drive unit stacked together on your bass (and an amp model won't suffice) then that is one area the Zoom units are good at. I can't say that's a likely thing for me, but could be for you. I'm certainly concerned about having a better octaver and other such effects, as well as a foot operated wah (several type thereof) switched like a normal wah into an active preset. Oddly, although I'd probably say I prefer the Zoom distortion effects on guitar, I prefer the Boss ones on bass. I want more 'edge' or 'grit' on bass, and something tidier on guitar. Neither make really compare to my chosen guitar drive units (modded TS-9 and H&K Tubeman). I am using this with an Eden WTX264 head and two MarkBass cabs (New York 1x15 and Traveller 2x10 both with HF) and a 6 string bass.The sound quality is again surprisingly good for the price when you consider the staggering number of effects options in there. The synth effects track reasonably well (you'll have to spend more than this entire unit on nothing but that in one pedal to get notably better) and are certainly usable. The killer with this over a few separate pedals I already owned is programmability, and the quick option to control almost any parameter with the pedal or control switch (additional switches or an expression pedal can also be added). This means a variety of different distortion/fuzz effects for different tracks, and some rather extraordinary effects (like an organ simulation) that I've not found the ideal spot for yet! (EDIT: I have now!!) Do note the lack of power supply when ordering (I already had something appropriate), but other than that, buy and enjoy! I find the more I play with it, the happier I get. Use the Boss ToneCentral app if you can, it's super easy to use and only improves the fun.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Budget price for premium sound.
*by M***L on 21 November 2019*

Bought this primarily to add a bit of controllable reverb, delay, compression and EQ to my acoustic guitar. I also bought a cheap 2 button toggle pedal to allow me to have 2 CTL switches and a tap tempo on the delay. Out the box it sounded a bit harsh on my trace acoustic amp but with some tweaks to the master EQ it sprang into life. Delays are nice and varied. Reverbs are OK, would have liked to have been able to have the reverb as loud as the dry signal for some volume swell effects. The acoustic processor brings some nice tonal adjustments and with the right tweaks, it makes your guitar sing. Programing on the unit is straightforward if you are used to these kinds of units and you can also assign the 3 rotary knobs to almost ant effect parameter for live tweaking. There are also 4 assignment controls per patch that can be used in conjunction with the CTL and expression pedals to manipulate effect parameters like toggling long/short Reverbs without changing the patch and having harsh cut offs. The chorus is also very nice, which is expected from a boss unit. The pitch shifter is a bit pants, very warbly on clean sounds, passible when using distortion/OD. The other modulation effects all sound fantastic, particularly the rotary speaker. Using my electric, the amp sims sound great as do the various distortion/overdrives. The editing software for the PC is very user friendly and is great for learning all the tweaks you can apply using the assignments. Build wise it ferls quite sturdy and it should be able to last a good few years of playing. Overall I'd say this is a great wee unit, but the 2 extra toggle pedals are a must to unleash its full potential. If you are looking for a budget multi effects but not a budget sound, this has it in spades.
