I've got a bunch of B3 patches uploaded to here:

OzzyGregs Zoom B3 patches to download

I'm new to this, I assume you guys will be able to download them!
You'll need a google mail (gmail) log in to access them as far as I can tell.

Save them into a folder, then simply click and drag them into your Zoom "Edit and Share" screen.

It includes a number of Crystalman85's patches as well as a few of my own. (Hope you don't mind Crystalman85!)

No not at all. I did post these patch ideas to help out any talkbass members on patches to create that suits their music style. since you've posted some of my patch ideas on the website where you've posted patch ideas for the zoom b3 and credit my username for those patch ideas I created(thank you for the credibility by the way), I would say the more the merrier. at least this would help out a lot of people on what patches to create on their zoom b3. basically I'm just a helping hand to those who needed some nifty patches to create on certain multi-effects processors like the zoom b3, the deltalab dbfx1, and the digitech bp355.

Thanks for the patches, can't wait to start sharing my own! Only one problem tho - my Edit & Share software is only accepting .b3a files rather than the .b3p format on the Google Drive.

Another TBer's mentioned getting around this by changing the format within the XML files accordingly & then changing the extension...thing is I'd have to do this for every patch file :crying:

How can I make the software import & export b3p files natively? I'm running 5.0.0.0 which seems to be the latest version :hmm:

Any help appreciated.

Make sure you are importing in the right spot. Click a blank spot in one of your banks and choose Import. That should look for b3p files. If you right click on the bank, and choose Import, that's when it tries to load b3a files.
