17:46 love this Steve, great demo! and the drums on this pedal sound really good, very very usable, cheers!!
Thanks Derek! Funny you noticed that one: I tried that with my trem bar first but kept messing up. I have a Gretsch with a Bigsby I’m going to break out, which would have worked great. 😎
@@SteveGuitar Sounded so cool! i've only seen it a few times but you nailed it! Oh man would love to see the Gretsch too!
Derek Paul Guitar Thanks! I’m going to try to film a vid tomorrow for a Rockabilly tone I made already. I just need to do a jam to it. 🤙
Steve Guitar looking forward to that Steve! Love the rockabilly style! 🤘
Not a great demo really, there’s nothing covering how you could use it on a gig, for example how do you put the beats in the order of your set list?
I watched several demos and not one shows how to make a set list, which is kinda if important if you’re using it on a gig!
Thanks for the awesome review, Steve! So happy to have you joining the BeatBuddy family! You rock!
Thanks much! Appreciate the nice words, and glad you all liked it!
Is there a beat Buddy two coming up with a USB three interface?
Very informative and your ability two play in each style very well is nuts
What a cool chill vibe - great playing - makes me want a Beat Buddy! Liked and subscribed - cheers!
Guitar Meets Science Awesome! Thanks so much for the kind words, and welcome! Glad you like it all 😎👏🎸
This is a good review. I'm going to save it so I can come back. My wife got me this for Christmas but I haven't worked it into my practice routine yet.
Love this demo, thanks! Thinking about purchasing the BeatBuddy.
Great video Steve! This is great for people that jam alone and don't have other musician friends. Or also for all the ones currently stuck at home that cant meet with their friends etc. Thanks for showcasing this!
Sounds great, but useless to me until it can play a song all the way through. I’ve got enough going on with lead vocal, guitar and helix on the floor to be learning all the transitions in the premium song library. Some of these songs have 20 plus transitions and fills to learn. Maybe it’s great if your a looper but not in a covers band. IMO the ability to play a song from start to finish should have been the starting point feature wise for this unit !
Use it with a looper and you can have just that. Compose it ahead of time and play it when you want.
Hahaha. Yes yes I do! AND Being a drummer first it's been rough! Another reason I brought the keyboard out here. But honestly. I fear if I buy a drum kit or ekit..It would cloud the channel and maybe have to have 2...I get too involved in things. Hehe heh. Anyway. Great review and I'll keep this in mind!!
Really great Beat Buddy demo, I just bought mine and waiting for the footswitch now.
Awesome! Glad you liked this one! 👍👍👍 Enjoy your new setup
I do appreciate the trouble you took here to set up the sound. Result..a great looking and sounding review..well done fella. PS I really love your playing too.
Awesome! So glad you liked it, and I appreciate you watching and sharing. This is a really neat pedal that makes practicing super fun. Take care, and see you around!
Thanks for the great review of the BeatBuddy!!! Well done :-)
Awesome, David, so glad you liked it! Thanks much, and take care 🤙
Great review. Thank you!
Its pretty cool!
Thanks for the comment! Make sure to check more of our videos about the BeatBuddy on our channel:

Outstanding demo.
Thank you! Do we connect the Beat Buddy to Logic Pro software via the MIDI?
Great demo!
Hi Steve - Correct me if I'm wrong, but I keep reading that you have to pay 250GBP to be able to access the full library of patterns? And that the manufacturer has deliberately pre-installed only a limited amount of accompaniments so as to force you into an after-sales corner!
I’ve been using BeatBuddy since it first came out, he’s the third member of our duo. Sounds incredible going through our stereo PA. It comes with approximately 200 songs in many styles. Plus around 10 different drum set sounds. So there is much to choose from, if you never buy another thing. The total collection is everything that came out after the initial release, those can be bought separately by artist grouping or one specific song at a time for around $1.00 each. So there is no forced after-sales corner, like free apps that have an after purchase necessity if you want to use it fully. The high priced everything collection I never found a need for. Also you can make your own custom beats in a DAW like Logic Pro, or import a midi drum track from a free midi or cheap file. I haven’t seen a competing unit like BeatBuddy anywhere. Price wise it’s not a bad deal, considering how much you can spend on a guitar effect pedal.
Thanks Steve, helpful
Can u use the headphones out and TS left and right output at the same time or is one silenced over the other?
I just got the Beatbuddy, can I just put it in my pedal line at end before my looper and it works ok? I have the PRS trio of pedals and a couple more in my line.
Very nice blues jam.
Marty callanfilms & txfilmmaker on Instagram thank you sir!
When playing you have to squat down on stage after every song and change the tempo and drum type.
Can you add your own drums? like midi or wave drum loops?
It seems like a great option for loop based jamming. But I fear it's not a great option for songs with complex arrangements (I would want more than 2 drum patterns for each song) and for guitarists that use effects pedals a lot (think of someone like Graham Coxon who 'plays using his feet' as much as his hands) it would be a nightmare tap-dancing between everything for the start of choruses etc. Are these fair comments, Steve?
Well, I might have agreed with you, except if you pair it with the Aeros looper, You can build songs with complex arrangements and multiple drum parts, all with your foot. Check out both of my videos using that looper.
@@SteveGuitar Thanks for such a quick response mate. I certainly will do.
You can make complex drum track in a daw and then upload the midi and use it in the BB.
Wow that's amazing!! Can you tap the tempo or you just use the knob?
David Torres Yes! Check out this video. There are a couple different ways and cool options th-cam.com/video/JZR3V-qIeFQ/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for comment David! Check also this video: th-cam.com/video/GnaQnn24I-M/w-d-xo.html
Hi, thanks for the video.
And I am also planning to get one.
But is it worth getting this big BB or better wait for newer version as its been nearly 7yrs since it came out.
Please just share your experience.
I can wait for may be another 6months or so for newer version rather than hating myself for buying this model and the new one pops up in the market the following week..
Glad you like it, and I haven't heard anything about a new version, but maybe one's coming? If I'm right, you can update the firmware on these easily, so they may just keep that going so people don't need to buy new hardware. So maybe go for it? Just a thought ;-)
@@SteveGuitar many thanks for the reply
I need to use this to record tracks onto a zoom R8 for Tascam console, can you do that with this unit?
Hey, I’m not 100% sure, but this has really nice stereo outputs, so I assume as long as you can run it into those devices, it should work great. That’s a bit of a guess, because I don’t own either of those pieces you’re talking about. Sorry I’m not more help!
Hi ! Thanks for the demo !
What loop station did you use at the begining ? How do you connect it to the bb ? Is it synchronised ?
I've got a fender GTX 100 with à looper GTX 7. Is it enough or do I have to buy another loop station ? Thank you !
Hey, glad you liked it! I actually used the Boss RC 505 to record both the beat buddy and the rhythm guitar first onto one track, then overdub the lead guitar. You could run everything into the mustang and use the GTX7, but it would be mono, because everything would go into the guitar amp input (and you would probably have to use the acoustic amplifier model so that the drums would sound good; otherwise, they would be run through a fender twin or similar). In other words, it’s best to run the beat buddy out to speakers in a room and then use the guitar amplifier FX on top of that. I have some other videos where I explain looping kind of stuff and my set ups.
@@SteveGuitar Thank you for your answer !
So can you run guitar into the beat buddy and split out from the beat buddy, one to monitors and one to amp? I used to do something like that with the trio plus. And I’m assuming you just have to be right on the money if you are going to use the looper that comes with the amp along with the BB.
@@darylboyd5594 Yes, that’s right, you could run one output one place, and another another place. But from my experience, trying to sync 2 loopers is very difficult, unless they have midi sync and their clocks perfectly time.
That is pretty cool. I have never seen a pedal with an SD slot before, is that unique?
ccjmusic I had a Digitech jamman looper pedal that had one. I think there’s a fair number that do👍
Steve Guitar I don’t own any pedals, I do everything with VSTs so am not familiar with pedals at all. I just assumed pedals were much simpler.
ccjmusic there are every type under the sun for sure!
Can you hook Beat Buddy directly in your Fender Mustang GTX? Asking for a friend. 😁
🤣 I’m not sure how it would work. I know you could run it into the main input instead of a guitar, to put down a drum loop in the looper, then plug the guitar back in. Not the best scenario. Maybe the effects loop?
Thanks. I was just wondering about the inputs in the back of the amp that you would connect a PA with. I’ll find out soon I guess. I’ve got one on order. If it don’t work I’ll send it back 😁. I appreciate you Steve. Great and helpful content. Allen
@@allenstocks6074 wish I was more help, but thanks for the nice words! Hope it goes well
What is the BeatBuddy connected to? An amp or PA??
PA. Actually just powered speakers. Sounds terrific, but it wouldn’t sound so good going into a guitar amplifier, which is not meant for playing drums of course. Hope that helps 🎸
@@SteveGuitar I use a keyboard amp for the BB and AER amp for the acoustic guitar.
Does the Beatbuddy Mini II sound as good ?
First!
TURN DOWN the guitar!!!
