Zoom "B1on" and some questions.
Posted: 17 May 2016 6:45 pm
Recently bought a Zoom B1on.

The main reason was to have an emergency backup so if my bass rig goes down in a gig I can still have a bit of control over what I sent to the PA, but I also wanted a headphone amp.
However it turns out to sound pretty good with PSG and with it's aux in and headlphone amp I've been using it to do my practicing when the kid is asleep.
Which brings me to two questions.
1) Can anyone with the B1on or a similar multi-effects unit give me some pointers on putting together a basic clean patch optimized for PSG practice.
2) By the end of the year or early next year I'd like to take my steel to an open mic. I'd probably just bring this rather than my amp to cut down on the amount of stuff I'm setting up. Assuming that I'm...
-A total beginner (been playing for less than a year)
-Playing with a small alt-country/americana group. (guitar, singer drums)
...any suggestions for what to include in a patch that will deliberately use effects to fill sonic space and disguise my mediocre skills.
If you're interested, here's the list of effects in the B1on.

I've never really been an effects guy, but I'm darned impressed with this $50 box so far.
