Built For Live Performance

When you need to plug directly into the house PA, the lightweight and portable B2 FOUR has you covered. It features six DI models that recreate the tone of world-class direct boxes:

Tube 1 for rich harmonics and thick low frequencies.

Tube 2 for a clear attack and tight low frequencies.

Tube 3 for a clear and glossy sound.

Solid State 1 for moderate compression and sharp tones.

Solid State 2 for a clear tone and little distortion.

Solid State 3 for elevated mids and low treble to replicate the Motown sound

Input & Output Options

A balanced output helps you connect directly to a PA or interface while the stereo outputs can connect to an amp. The instrument input has a switch to change the impedance from 1M to 10M ohms, giving you a cleaner tone for upright basses equipped with piezo pickups.

Using the B2 Four as an audio interface

Audio Interface

The B2 Four can be used as a 2-in/ 2-out audio interface by connecting to a computer or smartphone with your favorite effects and amp models.

New Preamp Models

Clear Drive

This original ZOOM Clear DRV preamp uses a linear phase filter in the distortion path. As a result, phase interference is eliminated during dry mixing, providing a clear drive.

Super Low Preamp

A ZOOM original preamp for super low sound. Using “missing fundamental” acoustic science, SpLoPre is equipped with a bass enhancer which emphasizes the low end of every note. With a Lo EQ and a negative one octave sound, a super low-end tone is produced.


Djent Preamp

An original ZOOM preamp recommended for Djent sounds. This preamp combines an undistorted low-end with a strongly distorted high-end to provide a crisp, intense distortion even with a down-tuned 5-string bass.

1073 Preamp

A thick, warm sound of a vintage mic preamp with transformer distortion.

Solid Preamp

Modeled after a console’s solid state mic preamp, the SolidPre delivers tight sounding harmonics with the ultra-low frequencies cut out.

ZOOM’s original bass synthesizer sound with adjustable filtering detail.
