Singular Sound has announced BeatBuddy, a guitar pedal/drum machine, will be at NAMM. BeatBuddy is an accessory for guitarists, bassists and keyboard players, or anyone who wants live control of a beat with the hands-free ease of a pedal. Unlike traditional drum machines, BeatBuddy is a small, single pedal that offers realtime creative control, making it suitable for solo players, singer/songwriters and music educators. The BeatBuddy enables musicians to insert fills, transition from verse to chorus, add accent hits such as cymbal crashes or hand claps and throw in drum breaks to create a live drummer effect. The BeatBuddy visually displays the beat, helping to improve rhythm and learn new time signatures. Singular Sound, 305.793.3413, mybeat buddy.com, Booth #1589.
