HOW TO USE WAH WAH EFFECT IN B1 ?

The Zoom B1 does not have an expression pedal, so it cannot control a wah effect dynamically. However, the Zoom B1X includes an expression pedal that can be assigned to control the wah effect. To use the wah effect on the B1X:

1. Select a patch and enter edit mode.
2. Assign a wah effect to one of the effect slots.
3. Set the expression pedal to control the wah effect.
4. Adjust the effect parameters to achieve the desired sound.
5. Use the expression pedal to manipulate the wah effect in real time.

If using the B1 (without an expression pedal), a separate wah pedal would be needed for real-time control.
