Singular Sound BeatBuddy 2 Pedaleira

BeatBuddy 2 — Hands-Free Drum Machine Stompbox for Live Performance

The Singular Sound BeatBuddy 2 is a stompbox-format drum machine that puts a responsive, studio-recorded drummer under your foot. With 13 HD drum kits (4x the sound capacity of the originals) and more than 200 songs across 23 genres pre-loaded, it gives solo guitarists, worship leaders, and buskers a real-time rhythm section they can trigger, fill, and end with simple taps. Two onboard footswitches handle intro fills, transitions, accent hits, and song endings without menu diving. On the 2.4" TFT color screen, the current beat remains visible to keep you locked in on stage.

What Sets the BeatBuddy 2 Apart

Autopilot, an intelligent automation engine, manages part lengths, fill timing, and song endings independently, letting the player improvise freely when inspiration strikes. This model also accepts the proprietary SuperSwitch (a 6-button multi-controller) and standard expression pedals, allowing two players to control tempo, volume, and velocity dynamics simultaneously with both feet.

Audio Engine and Sound Library — Studio-Grade Playback

Each drum hit is a non-quantized, multi-sampled recording captured by professional drummers in studio sessions, so fills avoid sounding mechanical. The audio engine delivers 44.1 kHz, 24-bit true stereo output, with the 4 GB Class 10 SD card storing default content and expansion possible up to 32 GB, supporting up to 3.2 million user-loaded songs.

• Sample Rate: 44.1 kHz
• Bit Depth: 24-bit
• Drum Kits: 13 HD kits included, expandable to 320
• Expanding the SD card to 32 GB lets you create a custom library of drum patterns for any gig or session.

Connectivity and I/O — Drop-Into-Any-Board Integration

Designed for modern pedalboards, connectivity includes two 6.3 mm TS audio pass-through inputs to maintain guitar signal flow, and two 6.3 mm mono outputs for stereo amplification, FRFR speakers, or studio monitors. A dedicated 6.3 mm TRS stereo headphone jack with its own volume knob is included for silent practice, while two 5-pin MIDI ports sync to external gear such as the Singular Sound Aeros looper or any MIDI Maestro controller.

• Inputs: 2 x 6.3 mm TS (L/R passthrough), MIDI IN
• Outputs: 2 x 6.3 mm mono (L/R), 6.3 mm TRS headphones, MIDI OUT
• Multiswitch Ports: 2 x 6.3 mm TRS (SuperSwitch / Expression Pedal)
• Digital Dry Through bypass ensures your original signal is preserved even when the pedal is engaged.
