Just Plug It In
and Play

There’s no complex setup with the B3n—just
plug in and start playing. Thanks to its 68
built-in rhythm patterns, the B3n is great for
both practice and solo performances. With the
onboard looper, you can record and overdub
phrases up to 80 seconds long, creating textured
layers of sounds using the effects of your choice. 

The looper, rhythm patterns, and delay effects
can all be synchronized using a tap tempo function.
And a built-in chromatic tuner lets you bypass the
currently selected patch while tuning, or mute
the signal altogether.

It’s easy to integrate the B3n into any live performance or studio rig. In addition to a standard 1/4” input, there's an auxiliary 1/8” stereo input for connecting smartphones or music players. There’s also a dedicated headphone jack for practice, and dual outputs for mono or stereo L/R connection to bass amps, PA systems, and audio interfaces. Add the ZOOM FP02M expression pedal via the dedicated control input for real-time control over effects parameters.
