An Iconic Drum Machine in Pedal Format
As a true pioneer of the 'drum machine at your feet' concept, the BeatBuddy has won over guitarists, keyboardists, and singer-songwriters thanks to its stage simplicity and realistic patterns. This '10th Anniversary' edition features the acclaimed sound engine and adds an exclusive finish, making it both a pro tool and a collector's piece for your pedalboard.
Who Is It For and What For'
Ideal for solo musicians, from songwriters to loopers, and for bands seeking solid rhythms without a computer. Blues, rock, pop, funk, country, metal, or jazz: the 24 styles cover the essentials, from vintage grooves to modern beats. Whether rehearsing, in a home studio, or live, it delivers real-time transitions, fills, intros/outros, and accent hits for organic performances.
Controls and Workflow Designed for the Stage
A main footswitch controls start/stop, fills, verse-to-chorus transitions, and accents. Connect an external footswitch for dedicated commands (pause, accent, navigation) and synchronize your rig via MIDI to lock tempo and sections with a looper or other effects. The BeatBuddy Manager, available as software or Online, lets you edit your tracks, import packs, rearrange sets, and customize kits. The included 4 GB SD card (expandable to 32 GB) stores your content and simplifies backups.
Sound Quality
The 24-bit samples deliver a clear and percussive sound with convincing dynamics even at low volume. Fills and transitions respond to the velocity of your foot playing for a human 'feel,' far from rigid patterns. The kits cover both muted vintage sounds and modern, punchy kits, while maintaining a clean stereo image that integrates effortlessly into a live mix or recording.
