B3

Is it possible to output the effected sound and the original bass sound at the same time?

Yes, it is possible. Set the XLR BALANCED OUT connector PRE/POST switch to PRE. Set this way, the main OUTPUT jacks will output the effected sound, while the XLR connector will output the original bass sound at the same time.

Is it possible to use a foot switch to tap the tempo used for delay times and modulation rates?

This is not possible using the foot switches on the B3. If you want to tap the tempo for delay times and modulation rates while playing bass guitar, you will need an FS01 foot switch (sold separately).

Can I use three instances of the same effect simultaneously?

Yes, you can. For example, you could use three delay affects with different settings to create a complex delay sound.

What are the specifications of the USB audio interface?

The specifications of the USB audio interface are as follows.                  

■ Quantization bit-rate: 16-bit
■ Sampling frequency: 44.1 kHz
■ Number of input channels: 2 (stereo L/R)
■ Number of output channels: 2 (stereo L/R)

I am able to use the USB audio interface to record, but no sound comes out of my computer speakers. What should I do?

When using the B3 as a USB audio interface, sound from the computer is output through the B3. Connect speakers to the B3 instead of the computer.

Can the B3 run on USB bus power?

Yes, it can. The B3 can receive and use power supplied by a computer’s USB bus.

Can I use the looper function and the rhythm function at the same time?

Yes, you can. Follow these procedures.                                

1) Press the RHYTHM key to start playback of the desired rhythm pattern.
2) Press foot switch 3 to return to the Home Screens.
3) Press and hold foot switch 3 for a second to activate the looper function.

Hint: If you set the TIME parameter to a note mark (♪), you can record phrases in sync with the rhythm.

“Standby...”appears blinking on the display and sound stops being output.

The B3 has an energy conservation function to prevent unnecessary power consumption and the batteries from draining. For this reason, if the B3 is not used for about 25 minutes, it automatically enters standby mode. To disable this energy conservation function, shift the POWER switch from “eco” to “ON”.

Can I save the rhythm pattern, tempo and level settings?

Yes, the rhythm pattern, tempo and level settings are automatically saved even when you turn the power off.
