Warning

Operation using an AC adapter

Use only a ZOOM AD-16 AC adapter with this unit.
Do not use or do anything that could exceed the ratings of outlets and other electrical wiring equipment. Before using the equipment in a foreign country or other region where the electrical voltage differs from that indicated on the AC adapter, always consult with a shop that carries ZOOM products beforehand and use the appropriate AC adapter.

Operation using batteries

Use 4 conventional 1.5-volt AA batteries (alkaline or nickel-metal hydride).
Read battery warning labels carefully.
Always close the battery compartment cover when using the unit.

Alterations

Never open the case or attempt to modify the product.

ZOOM B3 - Alterations - 1

Precautions

Product handling

1 Do not drop, bump or apply excessive force to the unit.
1 Be careful not to allow foreign objects or liquids to enter the unit.

Operating environment

Do not use in extremely high or low temperatures.
Do not use near heaters, stoves and other heat sources.
Do not use in very high humidity or near splashing water.
Do not use in places with excessive vibrations.
Do not use in places with excessive dust or sand.

AC adapter handling

When disconnecting the AC adapter from an outlet, always pull the body of the adapter itself.
During lightning storms or when not using the unit for a long time, disconnect the power plug from the AC outlet.

Battery handling

Install the batteries with the correct + / - orientation.
Use a specified battery type. Do not mix new and old batteries or different brands or types at the same time. When not using the unit for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the unit.
If a battery leak should occur, wipe the battery compartment and the battery terminals carefully to remove all battery residue.

Connecting cables with input and output jacks

Always turn the power OFF for all equipment before connecting any cables.
Always disconnect all connection cables and the AC adapter before moving the unit.

Volume

Do not use the product at a loud volume for a long time.

Usage Precautions

Interference with other electrical equipment

In consideration of safety, the B3 has been designed to minimize the emission of electromagnetic radiation from the device and to minimize external electromagnetic interference. However, equipment that is very susceptible to interference or that emits powerful electromagnetic waves could result in interference if placed nearby. If this occurs, place the B3 and the other device farther apart. With any type of electronic device that uses digital control, including the B3, electromagnetic interference could cause malfunction, corrupt or destroy data and result in other unexpected trouble. Always use caution.

Cleaning

Use a soft cloth to clean the panels of the unit if they become dirty. If necessary, use a damp cloth that has been wrung out well. Never use abrasive cleansers, wax or solvents, including alcohol, benzene and paint thinner.

Malfunction

If the unit becomes broken or malfunctions, immediately disconnect the AC adapter, turn the power OFF and disconnect other cables. Contact the store where you bought the unit or ZOOM service with the following information: product model, serial number and specific symptoms of failure or malfunction, along with your name, address and telephone number.

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 B3 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://wwwzoomo.co.jp/) for further information about Edit & Share.

Terms Used in this Manual

Patch

The ON/OFF status and the parameter settings of each effect are stored as "patches." Use patches to recall and save effects. The B = can store 100 patches.

Bank

A set of 10 patches is called a "bank." The B3 has 10 banks labeled A-J.

ZOOM B3 - Bank - 1

ZOOM B3 - Bank - 2

Effect processing capacity

ZOOM B3 - Effect processing capacity - 1

The B3 allows you to combine three effects as you like. However, if you combine effect types that require great amounts of processing power, it is possible to exceed the processing capacity of the B3 . If the processing required for the effect exceeds the capacity of the B3 , "THRU" is shown over the effect graphic and the effect is bypassed. This can be avoided by changing one or more of the effect types.

NOTE

  • An effect requires the same amount of processing power whether it is on or off.

HINT

  • Amp models require great amounts of processing.

ZOOM B3 - Set the recording level. - 1

HINT

In order to record with better sound quality, adjust the volume so that it is as loud as possible without the signal distorting.

NOTE

  • While a track is record ready, the signal input to this audio interface is output directly and the same signal is also output after it passes through the computer once, resulting in a flanger-like sound. To avoid this, set the USB level of the interface all the way to DAW.
  • The meter above shows the signal level after processing with Sequel LE. For this reason, after playing the guitar or other instrument, a slight delay might occur before the level meter moves.

For optimum enjoyment

While using Sequel LE, other applications may slow down drastically or a message such as "Cannot synchronize with USB audio interface" may appear. If this happens frequently, consider taking the following steps to optimize the operation conditions for Sequel LE.

(1) Shut down other applications besides Sequel LE. In particular, check for resident software and other utilities
(2) Reduce plug-ins (effects, instruments) used by Sequel LE. When there is a high number of plug-ins, the computer's processing power may not be able to keep up. Reducing the number of tracks for simultaneous playback can also be helpful.
(3) Power the unit from an AC adapter. When a device designed to use USB power is powered via the USB port, the current supply may sometimes fluctuate, leading to problems. See if using an AC adapter improves operation.

If applications still run very slowly or the computer itself does not function properly, disconnect this unit from the computer and shut down Sequel LE. Then reconnect the USB cable and start Sequel LE again.
