Well made, fairly easy to learn, good quality sound. There are paid downloads available that really make it more usable.
The Beat Buddy is exactly what I needed to complete my live music rig. It integrates perfectly with my Headrush Prime pedal.
Great quality product and solid package!
Need a black foot switch to match.
Big fan of the beat buddy. Works well for me as a solo musician. Now I have the 10th anniversary edition and it looks cooler. I thing the **** have been upgraded. And it runs smoother. Plus the new Black & Gold looks great on my pedalboard.
Great for performance as well, especially for a solo performer. Great assortment of rhythms and fills. No need for foot presses on the exact beat (I’m looking at you Looper). Once inside the measure where a fill is desired, press once - fire and forget - Beat Buddy does the rest. Oh, and it’s a great practice tool as well. So good, in fact, I’ve got one on each of two pedal boards. Pro Tip: The Beat Buddy foot switch is a worthwhile accessory which brings rhythm breaks and big splashes into play. The foot switch is also handy if you find yourself off the beat. Press once for a break in the action and then again on the first beat of the next measure and you’re back on track. This gear is worth the investment whether you’ve got GAS or not.
