Zoom B1 Four

For under a £100 this is an absolute steal There are a lot of crazy synth effects and things I can’t see myself using but there are plenty of options for the key components in an ampless signal chain compression, drive, amp sims and cab sims. I like the fact that I can get basically the same tones whether I’m outputting to my computer speakers at home or my big Headrush powered speaker . I can just turn up plug in and choose my preset Unfortunately it doesn’t have a built in DI but at this price I can’t complain One of these days I’ll spend about five times as much cash on a helix stomp but the sounds are good enough on this that I’m in no hurry

Brilliant - it was a present for my bass-playing grandson and he is delighted with it (especially the drum tracks).

Great little practice tool with some cracking sounds

Lots of bang for the buck. It's a shame the casing is plastic rather than metal in terms of surviving the road but it's not a deal breaker given the price.

Really surprised at quality for effects pedal which was not very expensive at all
