Effects Chaining Explained
Question: When is an effects pedal not just an effects pedal?
Answer: When it’s a multi-effects pedal.
The B1Xon not only allows you to select and edit any of its onboard effects, it enables you to use up to 5 of them simultaneously, chained together in any order you like. This kind of power and flexibility means that you can create rich, complex effects within B1Xon itself instead of having to use multiple pedals.

TunerThe B1Xon’s built-in chromatic tuner is instantly accessible at all times and shows you whether the note you’re playing is sharp, flat, or dead on. You can opt to either bypass the currently selected effect (thus giving you a clean, unaffected sound) when tuning, or to mute the signal altogether so you can tune in silence. |
RhythmRhythm training is an important part of every bassist’s craft, and the B1Xon Rhythm function makes it easy and fun to do. It places 68 realistic-sounding rhythms at your fingertips: high-quality samples of actual drums playing real-life patterns in a variety of different genres—everything from rock to jazz, blues to ballads, Emo to Motown. |
LooperExplore your creativity to its fullest with the B1Xon Looper, which allows you to layer up to 30 seconds of performance, through the effect or effects of your choice. The Looper can even be used in conjunction with Rhythm accompaniments so you can play along with the pattern of your choice. |
