Zoom B1Four Bass Multi Effect

I didn't expect any magic from this little multi effect. It has some good effects, and has some that simply sounds bad (like the on named explosion). The rythm and the looper function are what I use most often for easy bedroom jamming. I didn't even start to explore all the functions it has, because the "stock" effects are good enough already. I wouldn't really use it on stage, but it's good for practicing and goofing around, and that's exactly what I was expecting from it.

I was already tempted by it while it was sold for a 100€. Reviews on Youtube and other medias were all great.
When I saw it down to 66€, it was an insta-buy.
Effects and amp sims are sweet. Looper and rythm are nice addition even if I don't really care for them as of right now.
Its shell is plastic but nonetheless it feels heavy and solid. I was affraid to receive a china made crappy gizmo, happy surprise.
While unpacking it, I was anyway a bit disappointed when I saw that it was sold without any power source other than the offered 4 AA-batteries. Quick inspection showed also no sing of a real power switch on the pedal.
My first thought was that I will be forced to install those batteries each and every time I will be using the pedal.
Well call me stupid or ignorant, its powering itself on and off whenever you plug/unplug the input jack. Sweet!
Anyway, if you got one laying around, it can be powered via B-type micro usb cable (smartphone charge cable) or an usual 9v dc lead.
So all an' all, quite happy with it. Once again, for that kind of money, it's worth every cent.
