Excellent Review!!! I want one!!!!!!!!

Thanks for this amazing invention. Probably the greatest pedal ever made... Ingenious.

Nice demo. Great skills!

Joe Vitale Jr is the man! Killer review ;)

Well done, a very informative review - thanks!

Awesome review great playing and great voice!

Really helpful - thanks! 🙂

Wow, you have a great voice! And btw, nice review, i want this pedal, maybe someday :D

Loved your dad’s music . His voice and delivery are so unique. Day’s Gone Bye❤️Roller Coaster Weekend had some really good songs on it. Just bought my BB2 today. I hope my unit does not have a glitch? I heard a shrill sound in place of a beat a few times but I am just getting used to it(10 mins). Hopefully it will warm up or something. I would hate to send it back. Song was ok.

Nice demo and great song.

I like to think he's singing this song to the beat buddy.

Great review! It even sounds like there's a bass guitar with your song!

Great demo Joe.

Great demo thanks agree with last comment

Good song at the end! I forgot I was watching a beat buddy demo.

Diggin the song just ordered this pedal

Really good song, outstanding vocal and guitar accompaniment.

Perfect performance and demonstration! Sold me, mines in the mail front Sweetwater. Thank you

Great review

Thanks man, I need to cancel my other order on another drum machine and hopefully that'll happen, then I can order this one and great tune as well.! I'm a Brazilian jazz guitar composer myself.

Hey Joe great review. I just ordered mine. Hoping an old dog can learn a new trick. TY

What ever happened to the new BeatBuddy Manager ? Not much happening in the developer department at Singular Sound ! It was a looooooooooooooooooooooooong time since we saw an update !

This looks great for my solo/duo acoustic gigs to fill out the sound! Added to the "buy list"!

Yes! Thats what we Need to see and hear to inderstand this pedal/ any pedal! And i also like the Song! Very honest 80s vibes ❤

Wow, you have a great voice! And btw, nice review...

You create some interesting movement you guitar playing, love how use that beat buddy.

very nice

Wow that's the coolest demo ❤. Nice groove song 😊. I wish I could have joined you with my Bass 😉.

Man. Worth watching just for his performance.

Great voice, dude!

Good voice, cool song and very good pedal.... Tks

Vou comprar

Ok. This really REALLY intrigue me. So can i use this for all songs? New songs and old songs? Pls answer.

Can it be turned on and off without removing it from a pedalboard? Does it have to be on to pass a guitar signal? Other loopers seem to make it difficult and the only way to turn them off is to remove them from the signal chain which is very annoying for my setup. Thanks in advance for answering this.

Nice move, I got how it worked after about a minute and a half of your song. Not bashing, seriously complimenting you on your strategy. That said, thank you, I was on the fence about this beat buddy 2, but you convinced me. You got a new subscriber.

Great song Joe

I just discovered this item today and was wondering if it’s possible to run this into a Headrush FRFR Cab (or any other modeler cab), so that I could use one cab for a Drum PA/Guitar cab? Example, guitar to board to cab. Add BBM2 to cab. I could then set the BBM2 next to the board and then have a full on rhythm setup without adding more speakers. Any reason why that wouldn’t work?

Hello SS! Great demo. I'm very interested in this product. My question is: is the pedal programmable? i.e. my band plays 2 set lists of 15 songs. Sometimes our drummer can't make it to a rehearsal or gig. So can you program 30 different beats / tempos, name them and easily dial them up? If not, what type of product can do that? Thank you!

Ese pedal es fantástico!!!👍🏻😎 Joe Vitale jr. Eres genial👍🏻⭐️

I read a lot of comments about the beat not being right, Well I have to tell the complainers that there is a Tempo knob on the right side of the the Mini, where you can adjust the time your self, I have over 700 songs, where I have put in the tempo my self, from Buddy Holly To Merle Haggard, It took sometime But it works great.

My question is, what will you do when you have a set of 10-15 songs performance and you have to change the pattern or the tempo or both. How do you do it while performing, and the pedal is on the floor.

I think the one thing that would make this product a must have, is a built in looper. Are there ANY plans to do such a thing? There would be no songwriting, practice, performance tool that could possibly top it.

Nice song.!

Hi, I was wondering if Bead Buddy could come up with Beats / percussions like The Indian Tabla, Punjabi Dhol some native original Beats or a Indian drums pack... ?

I'm thinking I can put this into a separate loop, like the EHX Tri Parallel, and record into my looper pedal.Or, use it the way he's using it, and it won't be affected by my other pedals?

Is it possible to make quick changes between different patterns, e.g. ZZ Top's "Waiting For the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago"?

I love this damn thing. I am getting down with this pedal, and my Headrush Prime, Antares Auto tune vocal. "I LOVE MUSIC" 😂

great video and song, I had to play along on bass!

Does the mini 2 support a MIDI clock?

Been using it and finally got around to seeing what others are doing..i mostly doing acoustic solo and am introducing it as filler in between songs..lets you get in the mood for the next song..throw in something different..i still find it a lil cheesy but people bob thier head more when its used..it definitely changes the room I've noticed..I'll be playing some bluegrass and go into an r&b beat..people are like whaaat??

How to balance and keep each style at the same volume? because each style has high dynamic volumes for some styles and low for others.... for example, I connect my beatbuddy mini 2 directly to the soundboard... I use the ROCK style, I adjust the volume.... but when I change it to FUNK or BLUES the volume is lower and interferes with the performance when playing live... because I'm using it in bars and events with voice and guitar.

Please, can you tell me if it's possible to turn off intro completely or it is only possible for one rhythm on BB mini 2?

Can it export other Brazilian rhythms Forró, Xote, Pagode etc?

3 questions, first I am not very tech savvy when it comes to this, how easy is it to get the hang of? Is there a lot to computer work to setup? Second, can it be used with other pedals, like a looper, or distortion pedal?

can you upload your own midi drums tracks to it? also do you need to adjust the tempo between every song manually?

Is there any benefit to this for home use that GarageBand doesn’t already cover?

Great demo and Awesome song. Feels like 2001 all over again lol

new to beat buddy. So beat buddy mini 2 is the same as the beat buddy just streamlined?

hi guys, I find the switch clicknoise very loud. It 's realy annoying when recording with a microphone.

Can I make this pedal work as a simple metronome as well? 🧐

Well here's what I'm going to do tell me if you think this will work because I can't find anybody asking the question I'm getting ready to ask but before I ask the question here's what I'm going to do I already have two Looper pedals so what I'm going to do is take the beatbuddy Mini 2 plug in a Looper and then plug it into a amplifier then on my other amplifier I'll have my guitar going through another Looper I hit the beatbuddy to start the drumbeat and when I feel comfortable I'll tap on that Looper which will record only the drums then once I get the drums exactly the way I want them I can rehearse my guitar over and over till I get the Sound I like then Luke the guitar once I do that I have the micro USB to plug into a 4-track recorder and upload the loop drum track which is the beatbuddy Mini 2 and the Looper that has the guitars what do you think about my idea

This is a very impressive pedal and a great demo!!! I'm seriously considering getting one! How does this compare to the Beatbuddy?

Is it in Mono ore are the Drum-Samples in Stereo? I thought about using it without a guitar.

Joe Vitale Jr songs smack hard yo

How many bpms? The old one only reached 250

Can you programme this?

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 bought a BeatBuddy mini, and while i thought the sound was excellent, the actual usable beats were very limited, so i went and got the BeatBuddy mini 2, same issue here, very limited usable beats, none the units do not even have a basic country beat in them. Though very well engineered, to me they were a big disappointment. I guess the next move is the BeatBuddy itself. I hope this will be a more fruitful purchase.

Hi again S.S. - My main question is as follows, please: I don't want a Complete Collection or Groove Monkee type pack (because they do not contain genres of which I would use with my duo). There is a link (within the Beat Buddy site) which says "Don’t want the bundle? Click here to shop individual packs". If you follow this link it will take you to a page which contains drum-patters I AM interested in purchasing. These are, specifically: ALL Funk, Latin, Brazilian Perc., Jazz/Swing, Odd Time Sigs. However, it seems to be only the drum KITS, rather than the actual groves?! Otherwise, it appears the only other option is to purchase drum-beats in the STYLE of 100's of different Pop/Rock artists, which is not what I'm looking for to be honest. I hope I have explained my question OK for you. Thanks, Paul

Old video I know but does it have a polka beat?

Why is this song not available anywhere? It's beautiful!

I had a BassBuddy mini but my drummer kept turning it down.

Can you run this pedal into your amp?

can you put your own patterns in it?

I like your jam😂

What's the audio connection? This can't sound good on a guitar amp

Hi.mini and mini2..different..?

ow, my brain is in transition mode now. 😵‍💫

Can this play Hard Bop Free Jazz?

Hi to dad❤️🎼❤️

The biggest problem I have is waiting for my order for the foot pedal that was in early December. Was told it would ship and then told it will ship January 7th and now I’m being told January 16 or 17th. Very disappointed indeed.

Seems like you could program all of that in a step.

Love the song. GOD blessn rock on

I’m assuming your dad is THE Joe Vitale that played with CSN? If so how ironic that you would be promoting a drummer in a box. Good vid!
