HPF in the Zoom B3N/B3n

[iSteen]

Hearing good things about high pass filters - can anyone tell me if that option is available in the Zoom B3N/B3n multieffects - and what settings are good to start out from (or explain what it's all about), thank you!

Here you are-- a very thorough discussion for you to read through
High Pass Filter (HPF) and Low Pass Filter (LPF) Mega Thread

High Pass and Low Pass Filters | TalkBass.com

Sorry, I'm not up to speed on the options available in the Zoom B3

The latest firmware has an HPF, which is called "Low EQ" in the pedal, and an LPF, which is called "High EQ" in the pedal.
Someone please correct me if I've stated that in correctly.

This thread mentions the addition of the HPF to the B3n:
Zoom B3n updated with a few new effects, amps and cabinets.

This thread shows where someone has the frequency setting at 60Hz.
New: Zoom B3n Multi-Effects

Hopefully someone with more experience will chime in on this thread.

Hi
Can someone explain how the 'gain' control works on the B3n HPF patch (Low EQ)? It seems to have a different effect whether the patch is set to 'HPF' or 'Shelf'. I don't understand the logic of what's going on here.

Type in google ‘understanding eq’. It gives you a basic knowledge of different type of eq.

Low EQ Designed for low frequencies, this equalizer allows you to select the type.

Type Sets filter type. SHELF, HPF
FREQ Sets the frequency of the filter. 20 – 640
Gain Adjusts the gain. This setting is disabled when the Type parameter is set to HPF. -12.0 – 12.0
VOL Adjusts the volume. 0 – 100

High EQ Designed for high frequencies, this equalizer allows you to select the type.

Type Sets filter type. SHELF, LPF
FREQ Sets the frequency of the filter. 500 – 20k
Gain Adjusts the gain. This setting is disabled when the Type parameter is set to LPF. -12.0 – 12.0
VOL Adjusts the volume. 0 – 100

I use the Low EQ / HPF as a global on all my patches...usually 40 hz. On some of the "bassier" options like the SVT w/ the Ultras engaged, I'll kick it up to 50 hz to clean things up. Doesn't answer the "gain" question...I just wanted to share.
