ZOOM B9.1ut 3 00804B9E.indb804B9E.indb 3 008.4.258.4.25 110:57:120:57:12 AAMM Features Thank you for selecting the ZOOM B9.1ut (simply called the "B9.1ut" in this manual). The B9.1ut is a sophisticated Multi Effect Processor with the following features. ● Latest technology for top performance Excellent sound quality is assured by signal processing featuring 96 kHz/24 bit sampling and internal 32-bit processing. Frequency response remains fl at to 40 kHz, and input converted noise is an amazing 120 dB or better. ● Ready-to-use patches Effect module combinations and settings can be stored and recalled as "patches". The B9.1ut offers 80 patches in the read-only preset group, plus 80 patches in the user group which can be freely rewritten, resulting in a total of 160 choices. ● Tube powered Accelerator The analog input stage features an Accelerator that lets you freely mix the signal amplified by a vacuum tube circuit to the solid-stage signal. In this way, you can add characteristic tube compression and distortion to a clean sound. ● Versatile array of effects Out of a versatile palette of 112 effects, up to ten (including ZNR) can be used simultaneously. Recreate the distortion sound of famous amps and compact effects, apply compressor effects to spruce up the sound, use the 6-band equalizer, control delay, add modulation, or select from many other great effects. Both in quality and versatility, the B9.1ut far surpasses anything in its class. You can even transform the output into a cool synth bass or fretless bass sound. ● Two selectable operation modes (manual mode/play mode) In manual mode, you can use the foot switches to turn individual effects in patches on and off. This makes it easy to simulate playing with an array of compact effects and stomp boxes. In play mode, the foot switches serve to quickly move between patches. ● XLR connectors for direct output In addition to the OUTPUT jacks, a set of XLR connectors lets you send a balanced line-level signal directly to a PA mixer or recording console. The signal can be branched off either before or after effect processing. A switch for uncoupling the direct signal from ground in case of hum problems is also provided. ● Z-Pedal senses not only vertical but even horizontal movement The B9.1ut comes with a built-in Z-type expression pedal that offers great functionality.
