I’m excited to announce that the BeatBuddy team launched their IndieGogo campaign at midnight this morning, and it has gotten a great response. The most exciting thing about this crowd-funding campaign is that the first 500 people have the opportunity to get a BeatBuddy for only $179! That’s about half the price of what the BeatBuddy will be when it is released to the public!
When I last checked, as of 9:30 PST, they already had 216 people fund at this level, so chances are that this level will fill up soon.
BTW, no, I’m not affiliated with them, but you know me, when the Dawg sniffs out cool, new gear, he just keeps barkin’ about it. So if you can swing it, head on over to the BeatBuddy IndieGoGo site!

I’m in Dawg. They have already sold 290 @ $179 and raised over $55,000 of the $75,000 goal as of 4:45 PM EST. Not bad in only 6 hours. I like the whole concept of the pedal and how they are raising the money.
Any idea where this might go in a pedal chain Dawg?
I’m actually not too sure, but personally, I’d probably put it last, behind my looper so the looper doesn’t pickup any of the drum sounds. But they’ll be connected via MIDI-sync, as the BB will provide the MIDI clock to keep time for the looper.
Another option would be to send the output directly to my PA and not run any guitar signal through the pedal at all. It would still act as the MIDI master clock, but would have its own output. That might provide for better level control. Once I get mine, I’ll have to experiment.
