Overview
BeatBuddy Guitar Pedal Drum Machine BeatBuddy is the first drum machine in a guitar pedal format that enables full hands-free, creative control of the beat. Musicians can effortlessly insert fills, transition from verse to chorus, add accent hits, throw in drum breaks, and more, to create an unprecedented live drummer effect - all in award-winning, ultra-realistic 24-bit sound. The non-quantized beats, recordings of real drummers, makes BeatBuddy the first drum machine to not sound like a machine. BeatBuddy is packed with features for musicians from all walks of life. A visual display of the beat makes it easy to improve rhythm or play with unfamiliar time signatures. MIDI Sync controls your loopers to make sure they're in time with the beat. Record directly from the BeatBuddy for professional-level drums on your upcoming album. Create gig lists and scroll through your songs, hands-free, during your next performance.
It's the power of a drum machine with the simplicity of a pedal.

BeatBuddy Dual Footswitch
When you pair the Footswitch+ with the BeatBuddy or BeatBuddy MINI it gives you even more control over the beat. Right out of the box you get the ability to trigger accent hits, pause/unpause the beat, and navigate songs, genre, and tempo. However, when used with the BeatBuddy, you can do even more with the Footswitch+ like setting it to act as the main pedal.
But, it doesn’t stop there! The Footswitch+ is hands down the best multipurpose 2 button footswitch on the market. It’s built like a tank, is more comfortable than a footswitch has any right to be, and offers quiet, momentary switches.
Features:
- It lets you add accent hits, pause/unpause the beat, and choose song, genre and BPM, and more when used with the BeatBuddy or BeatBuddy MINI
- Ergonomically designed buttons and a slim, angled housing make it the world’s most comfortable footswitch
- Built to last with sturdy metal switch components and an all metal housing
- Momentary switches result in quiet, smooth operation and the ability to both press and hold the button for separate commands
- Use the included 1/4″ low profile right-angle TRS stereo cable or substitute it for your own stereo cable
