Do not use the B1/B1X at a loud volume for a long time

Caution

since this can cause hearing impairment.

Usage Precautions

Electrical interference

For safety considerations, the B1/B1X has been designed to provide maximum protection against the emission of electromagnetic radiation from inside the device, and protection from external interference. However, equipment that is very susceptible to interference or that emits powerful electromagnetic waves should not be placed near the B1/B1X, as the possibility of interference cannot be ruled out entirely.

With any type of digital control device, the B1/B1X included, electromagnetic interference can cause malfunctioning and can corrupt or destroy data. Care should be taken to minimize the risk of damage.

Cleaning

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the B1/B1X. If necessary, slightly moisten the cloth. Do not use abrasive cleanser, wax, or solvents (such as paint thinner or cleaning alcohol), since these may dull the ﬁnish or damage the surface.

Please keep this manual in a convenient place for future reference.

Terms Used in This Manual

This section explains some important terms that are used throughout the B1/B1X documentation.

IN OUT

■

Effect module

As shown in the illustration above, the B1/B1X can be thought of as a combination of several single effects. Each such effect is referred to as an effect module.

In addition to modules such as DRIVE and MODULATION/DELAY, the B1/B1X also provides a module for noise reduction and amp simulation (ZNR/AMP).

Parameters such as effect intensity can be adjusted for each module individually, and modules can be switched on and off.

■

Effect type

Some effect modules have several different effects which are referred to as effect types. For example, the MODULATION/DELAY module comprises chorus, flanger, and other effect types. Only one of these can be selected at a time.

■

Effect parameter

All effect modules have various parameters that can be adjusted. These are called effect parameters. When thinking of an effect module as a compact effect, the parameters change the tone and effect intensity similar to the knobs on the device.

■

Patch

In the B1/B1X, effect module combinations are stored and called up in units referred to as patches. A patch comprises information about the on/off status of each effect module, about the effect type

Operating the B1/B1X on batteries

Turn the B1/B1X over and open the cover

of the battery compartment on the bottom.

used in each module, and about effect parameter settings. The internal memory of the B1/B1X can store up to 80 patches.

■

Bank and area

A group of ten patches is called a bank. The memory of the B1/B1X comprises a total of eight banks, labelled with letters A to d and numbers 0 to

3. Banks A – d are the user area which allows read/ write. 0 – 3 form the preset area of read-only patches. The patches within each bank are numbered 0 through 9. To specify a patch of the B1/B1X, you use the format "A1" (patch number 1 from bank A), "06" (patch number 6 from bank 0), etc.

■

Mode

The internal status of the B1/B1X is referred to as the operation mode. In "play mode" you can select patches and use them for playing your instrument. In "edit mode" you can modify the effects, and there is also a "rhythm mode" in which you can make settings for the rhythm function. The module selector serves for switching between these three modes.

Insert four fresh IEC R6

(size AA) batteries.

Polarity is opposite for two banks of two batteries each.

Use four IEC R6 (size AA) batteries

When the batteries are getting low, the indication "bt" appears on the display.

When operating the B1/B1X on batteries, it is advisable to disconnect the guitar cable plug from the [INPUT] jack when not using the unit, to conserve battery power.

Turn the bass amplifier on and adjust the volume to a suitable position.

Set the B1/B1X to play mode

If the Module selector is set to a position other than "PLAY", set it to "PLAY".

Selecting a Patch

Adjust the master level

To adjust the master level in play mode, you can use the [VALUE] knob.

When you turn the [VALUE] knob, the master level setting is shown for a time on the display.

The master level setting range is 0 – 98, 1.0. It will be reset to 80 when the unit is turned off and then on again.

NOTE

When using headphones, this knob adjusts the listening volume.

The currently selected bank and patch number are shown on the display.

HINT

Immediately after turning the B1/B1X on, the unit will be in play mode, even if the Module selector is set to a position other than "PLAY".

Bank name Patch number

Select a patch

To switch the patch, press one of the [W]/[Q] foot switches.

Pressing the [W] foot switch calls up the next lower patch, and pressing the [Q] foot switch calls up the next higher patch.

ZOOM B1/B1X

To select the banks A - d, 0 - 3 directly, use the [BANK UP•TAP] key.

Each push of the key switches to the next higher bank.

NOTE

ZOOM B1/B1X

Directly selecting a bank

With the B1, using the foot switch (FS01) to switch banks is also possible (→ p. 16).

Using the Tuner

The B1/B1X incorporates an auto-chromatic tuner. To use the tuner function, the built-in effects must be bypassed (temporarily turned off) or muted (original sound and effect sound turned off).

Switch to bypass or mute

Setting the B1/B1X to the bypass state

In play mode or rhythm mode (→ p. 10), press both [W]/[Q] foot switches together briefly and release.

Setting the B1/B1X to the mute state

In play mode or rhythm mode (→ p. 10), press both [W]/[Q] foot switches together and hold for at least 1 second.

NOTE

Patch change at bypass/mute

When you press both [Q]/[W] foot switches together while playing your instrument, the sound may change momentarily just before the bypass/mute condition is activated. This is because the B1/B1X switches to the next higher or lower patch when one of the foot switches is pressed slightly earlier. (When you cancel the bypass/mute condition, the original patch number will be active again.) This behavior is not a defect. It is due to the very high speed at which the B1/B1X responds to patch switching. To prevent the sound change caused by the above condition, do not produce sound with your instrument until the bypass/mute condition is fully established.

The bypass or mute condition cannot be activated when the unit is in edit mode.

Adjusting the reference pitch of the tuner

If required, you can fine-adjust the reference pitch of the B1/B1X tuner.

Turn the [VALUE] knob.

When you turn the [VALUE] knob in the bypass/mute condition, the current reference pitch is shown for a time on the display. The default setting is 40 (center A = 440 Hz).

While the reference pitch is shown, turn the [VALUE] knob to adjust the value in the range from 35 - 45 (center A = 435 to 445 Hz).

Shortly after you release the [VALUE] knob, the display indication will revert to the previous condition.

NOTE

Press one of the [W]/[Q] foot switches.

When you turn the B1/B1X off and on again, the reference pitch setting will be reset to 40 (center A = 440 Hz).

• In play mode, you cannot switch the rhythm pattern or adjust the rhythm volume and tempo.

Start the rhythm function

To start the rhythm function, press the RHYTHM [R/P] key.

NOTE

While the rhythm is playing, the REVERB/DELAY module effect is disabled.

Adjust the rhythm volume

To adjust the rhythm volume, turn the [VALUE] knob.

When you turn the [VALUE] knob, the current setting (0 – 30) is shown for a time on the display.

Adjust the tempo

The rhythm pattern tempo can be adjusted in the range of 40 – 250 BPM (beats per minute).

To continuously change the rhythm tempo, hit the [BANK UP•TAP] key once and then turn the [VALUE] knob while the tempo value is being shown on the display.

To manually specify the tempo, hit the [BANK UP•TAP] key at least twice in the desired interval.

The B1/B1X automatically detects the interval in which the key is pressed the second and subsequent times, and sets the tempo accordingly (tap tempo function).

While the above steps are carried out, the current tempo value (40 – 250) is shown for a time on the display. For values in the range from 100 to 199, a dot is shown in the bottom right corner (after the second digit). For values of 200 and above, dots are shown after the first and second digits.

Select a rhythm pattern

The B1/B1X has 40 built-in rhythm patterns. For more information on pattern contents, see page 25.

To switch rhythm patterns, press one of the [W]/[Q] foot switches in rhythm mode.

ZOOM B1/B1X

Changing the Way Patches Are Called Up

In normal operation, changing a patch in play mode of the B1/B1X will be active immediately. This means that the sound changes straight away when you make the selection.

In some cases, such as when the new patch is at a memory location not adjacent to the current one, this method may not be ideal, because the sound will change in various ways as you switch through the patches. In such a case, you may want to change the patch selection method to "pre-select". In this mode, you first select the patch to use next, and then perform an additional step to activate the patch.

To change B1/B1X operation to pre-select, perform the following steps.

1. Turn power to the B1/B1X on while

holding down the [Q] foot switch.

The indication "PrE-SElEct" scrolls on the display during startup.

2. In play mode, use the [W]/[Q] foot

switches to specify the patch to use next.

You can use the [BANK UP•TAP] key or a foot switch (FS01) connected to the [CONTROL IN] jack to switch only the bank (The B1X does not support use of a foot switch.)

The new bank or patch number specified by the above step flashes on the display. The sound does not change yet.

3. When you have specified the patch to

use, press both [W]/[Q] foot switches together.

The patch change is accepted, the display changes from flashing to permanently lit, and the sound changes.

Pressing the foot switch selects the next higher bank.

● Rhythm mode

When you press the foot switch two times or

more, the B1 detects the interval and automatically adjusts the tempo accordingly (tap tempo function).

● Edit mode

The foot switch has no effect.

Using the expression pedal

With the B1, an expression pedal (FP01/FP02) can be connected to the [CONTROL IN] jack and used as a volume pedal or for adjusting a certain parameter of an effect type in real time. With the B1X, the built-in expression pedal can be used in the same way. The function of the expression pedal can be selected and stored individually for each patch.

1. To use an expression pedal with the

B1, plug the FP01 or FP02 into the [CONTROL IN] jack and turn on the power.

2. Select the patch in which to use the

expression pedal.

3. Set the Module selector to a position

other than "PLAY" or "RHYTHM".

Sets the patch level in the range from 2 – 98, 1.0. A setting of 80 corresponds to unity gain (input level and output level are equal).

■COMP/LIMIT module

This module comprises the effects that control the level dynamics such as compressor and limiter.

COMP/LIMIT (Type&Prm)

Selects the COMP/LIMIT module effect type and adjusts the effect intensity.

Compressor

C1 C9

This is a compressor which keeps the level within a certain range by attenuating high-level signals and boosting low-level signals. Higher setting values result in higher effect sensitivity.

Limiter

L1 L9

This is a limiter that suppresses signal peaks above a certain reference level. The right-digit value adjusts the limiter reference level.

■ EFX (Effects) module

This module comprises modulation effects such as tremolo and phaser.

EFX (Type&Prm)

Selects the EFX module effect type and adjusts the effect intensity.

A1 A9

F1 F9

O1 O9

T1 T9

P1 P9

R1 R9

Auto Wah

This effect varies wah in accordance with the input signal intensity. Higher setting values result in higher effect sensitivity.

Resonance Filter

This effect varies the frequency band of the resonance ﬁlter according to the input signal intensity. Higher setting values result in higher effect sensitivity.

Octave

This effect adds a one-octave lower component to the original sound. Higher setting values increase the level of the effect sound (one-octave lower sound).

Tremolo

This effect periodically varies the volume. Higher setting values result in faster modulation rate.

Phaser
