Zoom’s MS-60B Multistomp bass effects pedal represents a full-featured overhaul of the classic MS-60B, dramatically enhancing your sonic possibilities and offering a cleaner, more intuitive control section. This powerhouse pedal boasts 11 classic amp/cab emulations, 11 tone-shaping preamps, and a whopping 75 effects to explore, allowing you to pair up to six of these options simultaneously to build the signal chain of your dreams. Plus, the MS-60B ’s revamped control section pairs a high-visibility LCD with four Cross Key switches and a quartet of encoder knobs to make the selection and editing of even the most complex patches a cinch. You also get next-generation analog circuitry to enhance your tone, an onboard chromatic tuner, and access to Zoom’s Guitar Lab for expanded sonic options. Packed with everything a bassist needs for both the stage and the studio, the Zoom MS-60B is a formidable multi-effects box that’s sure to enhance ? or even replace ? your pedalboard rig.





Your all-in-one pedalboard replacement





From classic amps to preamps to a comprehensive arrangement of effects, the Zoom MS-60B is a veritable sea of sonic versatility. This multi-effects mammoth sports 11 time-tested amp/cab combo emulations, providing you with spot-on recreations of the most sought-after rigs in bass history using Zoom’s innovative Multi-layer IR technology. Next, you get 11 preamps to play with, including eight time-tested bass standbys and a trio of original Zoom creations. It’s all topped off with a massive effects section, spanning 75 filters, drives, octave effects, modulation options, and more. Finally, the MS-60B allows you to utilize up to six amps, effects, and preamps simultaneously, allowing you to dial up your dream signal chain effortlessly.





Intuitive encoder knobs and Cross Key switches





Navigating tones and building presets is easier than ever, thanks to the Zoom MS-60B ’s entirely re-designed control section. Sweetwater bassists appreciate how the added four Cross Key switches make swapping between effects a breeze, providing significantly improved hands-free control. Once you’ve selected your effect, the LCD’s stompbox-specific graphics and four encoder knobs make dialing in as straightforward as it would be on any physical guitar pedal. Planning on taking your MS-60B onstage? This pedal’s LCD changes colors depending on your chosen effect category, making navigation efficient and lightning-fast.





Guitar Lab app unlocks enhanced sonic possibilities





While the MS-60B comes right out of the box with 75 studio-ready effects, connect your pedal to Zoom’s Guitar Lab app to access an ever-expanding library of new tones to explore. Not only does Guitar Lab offer additional effects, but it also features custom patches for the player who prefers plug-and-play functionality over minute preset tweaking.
