Since its launch, the BeatBuddy has redefined the drum machine for guitarists, bassists, and keyboardists. This "10th Anniversary" edition honors a decade of innovations with an exclusive finish and ready-to-play content. It stands at the top of the range as the most desirable version for stage and studio.

Blues, rock, pop, funk, country, or modern music: its styles cover the essentials of repertoires. Intuitive in live settings, it integrates effortlessly into a pedalboard and becomes a reliable partner for rehearsing, recording, or animating an acoustic set.
Controls and Workflow Designed for the Stage
Foot-operated start/stops, fills, transitions, breaks, and accents trigger instantly for lively arrangements. The downloadable BeatBuddy Manager software and the simplified Online version allow you to customize kits and songs, import/organize your sets, and fine-tune every detail. Stereo connectivity ensures clean integration into the mix, while MIDI sync facilitates playing with an Aeros looper or a Midi Maestro controller.
Sound Quality
The 24-bit samples deliver a clear, defined, and dynamic sound, with natural cymbal response and precise kick foundation. From warm "room" ambiance to tight modern grooves, the pedal maintains excellent clarity in a guitar/vocal mix.
