The BeatBuddy 2 is a powerful drum machine in the form of a guitar pedal, designed for musicians who want dynamic control over their rhythms during live performance or practice. Whether you’re jamming alone or performing live, BeatBuddy 2 acts as your personal drummer, always ready to follow your lead. It comes preloaded with award-winning beats and also allows you to create your own, giving you endless creative possibilities.

Designed with extensive connectivity in mind, the BeatBuddy 2 features true-stereo input and output ports, a headphone jack for silent practice, 5-pin MIDI in and out for syncing with other gear, an SD card slot for storing additional content, a 9V power input, and two multiports that support accessories like expression pedals or the Singular Sound SuperSwitch.

You can connect an expression pedal to control the tempo or volume completely hands-free, or expand your setup with the Singular Sound SuperSwitch—a highly customizable 6-button footswitch. For even more control, both accessories can be used simultaneously, offering advanced live performance flexibility.
