Singular Sound BeatBuddy 2
The
BeatBuddy 2 from Singular Sound is a high-end drum machine pedal designed for demanding musicians. More powerful and intuitive than the first version, it offers realistic sound, modernized ergonomics, and advanced features for both stage and studio use.
Realistic and expressive sound
With its HD kits recorded by real drummers and 24-bit/44.1 kHz processing, the BeatBuddy 2 delivers a natural and dynamic sound. Thanks to the expression pedal control, you can modulate volume, tempo, and intensity in real time.
Redesigned ergonomics
Equipped with a
larger, brighter screen, an on/off button, and two inputs for external switches, BeatBuddy 2 provides complete hands-free control. Its
Autopilot mode automates intros, fills, and transitions so you can focus on playing.
Customization and compatibility
The pedal includes more than 220 styles and 13 drum kits, all of which can be modified via BeatBuddy Manager Online. With a 4 GB SD card included (up to 32 GB), stereo and MIDI connectivity, it's suitable for both solo guitarists and band setups.
BeatBuddy 1 vs BeatBuddy 2 comparison
Released in 2014, the BeatBuddy 1 paved the way for drum machine pedals. The BeatBuddy 2 retains this solid foundation but adds notable improvements:
- Sound quality: same resolution (24-bit), but more detailed kits and smoother transitions.
- Ergonomics: larger screen, on/off button, 2 inputs for external switches (not available on V1).
- Features: new Autopilot mode to automate transitions, SD card included and expandable.
- Compatibility: optimized integration with the Aeros Looper and MIDI Maestro.
In summary: the BeatBuddy 1 remains effective for simple use, but the BeatBuddy 2 is the obvious choice for advanced control and superior stage comfort.
