About this deal

The BeatBuddy Mini is a drum machine in pedal format. It contains nine different drum kits that were each carefully sampled from real drums, so there’s no synthesized sounds happening here.

You'll have complete hands-free control without the need for any programming; simply press down on the pedal to control transitions, insert fills and more.

The BeatBuddy Mini 2 is built for whatever you’d like to throw at it. That could be a basic practice companion, where you can choose a tempo and loop and grind out scales — at least it would be more entertaining than a regular metronome. Reassuringly, this pedal is very easy to use, and the switch operations become second nature within minutes. That’s very important with anything you rely upon in live performance. Sonically, the drum sounds are comparable with what you’d expect from any decent sample-based drum machine, with some nice acoustic kits augmented by suitable electronic kits for the more urban genres. Most of the rhythms are suitably solid and unfussy, though I did find some of the intro and outro fills to be a touch irritating and very soon I found myself wishing that there was some way to kill both the intro and outro fills altogether and have just a simple count in at the start and maybe a cymbal crash at the end. Most of the songs I play just don’t have that kind of intro fill. I communicated my opinion to the manufacturers, who said that it may be possible to introduce a feature in a future firmware update that would give the user a choice of a simple count-in, though I don’t know if it’s possible to update existing pedals as there’s no USB port on the Mini.

Trusted Shops You can see right away that the BeatBuddy Mini 2 looks like any other effects pedal. Everything is housed in a brushed metal enclosure with a large, rounded footswitch that’s easy on bare feet and impossible to miss during a live performance.Each song’s time signature and default tempo are displayed, but the tempo can be changed by pressing the encoder knob to select Tempo, then dialling in the value that you want. Clearly this could be a bit of a compromise when you are playing live, as there might be a lot of bending down between songs to change the pedal settings. That’s one area where the ‘full fat’ BeatBuddy scores, though life gets easier if you add the optional BeatBuddy Footswitch — of which more later.

Who says you don’t need a drum machine on your pedalboard? We certainly don’t, as we’ll be looking at the BeatBuddy Mini 2 in today’s breakdown and review. The BeatBuddy Mini 2 Brings Versatile Drum Sounds Straight to Your Pedalboard When the pedal is started, the multi-colour LED shows red for the duration of the intro fill, then goes green, pulsing once per beat to show the pattern is running. Amber denotes a drum fill. When you trigger a transition it turns blue, and then when the alternate pattern plays it shows green again. Double-tap to stop and it shows red for the outro fill, then goes out. The three dedicated LEDs mirror what the multi-colour LED is showing. The BeatBuddy is also great for soloists performing live. As a singer-songwriter you’re sort of expected to just bring your guitar and voice, but you can surprise folks by adding drums to your compositions — if that’s your thing! The BeatBuddy 2 Will Enhance Your Rhythm Capabilities with Ease Once you dialed in a beat, it’s time to start jamming along. From here, we can use the footswitch to add fills and transitions. That way you can actually perform a whole arrangement instead of just playing over the same loop on repeat. How Many Variations Does the BeatBuddy Mini 2 Offer? Now, the reason the variations are called Songs rather than simply ‘rhythms’ is that, by deft use of the pedal, you can switch between two slightly different pattern variations to add interest to a chorus or solo section. The pedal also provides a suitable intro drum fill, spot fills on demand, and a fill when you transition between the two patterns within a song. So how is this possible from a single footswitch?With the BeatBuddy Mini, getting a good-sounding rhythm accompaniment is as easy as tapping your feet. You'll have access to the same high quality samples that are found in the original BeatBuddy. These have been recorded by professional drummers, ensuring a drum sound that remains realistic and dynamic at all times.
