Remember when the original BeatBuddy changed the game for solo artists everywhere? Well, clear some space on your pedalboard, because its successor, the Beat Buddy 2, has arrived, and it’s packed with upgrades that feel less like an update and more like a revolution.
Think of the BeatBuddy 2 as your ultra-responsive, infinitely patient drummer in a box. It’s taken everything you loved about the first one and cranked it to eleven. The first thing you’ll notice is the bigger, brighter screen, making it a breeze to see your song sections and patterns live.
But the real magic is the new Autopilot mode. This is your secret weapon for seamless live performances. It intelligently runs fills and transitions, creating a dynamic backing track that actually follows you. No more robotic, predictable loops—just solid, human-feel rhythm that lets you focus on your playing.
And speaking of human feel, the expanded sound library is insane. We’re talking 220+ styles and 24 genres, all recorded by pro drummers in pristine 24-bit stereo. It’s the kind of authentic sound that makes audiences peek behind the stage to see where the drummer is hiding.
Want even more control? The new multiports let you plug in both an expression pedal and a 6-button SuperSwitch at the same time, giving you hands-free command over tempo, volume, and more. Plus, with the revamped online manager software, you can easily build your own custom drum kits and songs.
From silent headphone practice to filling a venue with rich, stereo sound, the BeatBuddy 2 isn’t just a pedal—it’s the most versatile and creative member of your band.
