Use the included adapter to convert the
BeatBuddy Mini's 6.35mm mono output jack
to a 3.5mm stereo headphones jack
The BeatBuddy Mini sounds best
when played through a full-range
neutral sound system.
Many guitar and bass amps are
either not full-range (they mufe
the higher frequencies) and/or
provide distortion, which lowers
the BeatBuddy Mini’s sound quality.
Acoustic guitar ampliers,
PA systems, and home stereos
tend to be neutral & full-range.
Tip: Plug BeatBuddy Mini in your
amp’s auxiliary jack if available.

The BeatBuddy Mini does not
change your instrument sound.
The input jack lets you plug all of
your pedals into the same sound
system, no mixer necessary.
The volume knob only controls
the BeatBuddy Mini's drums. It
does not affect the volume of any
instrument plugged into it.
If you are plugging in other pedals,
the BeatBuddy Mini should be last
on the pedal effects chain, after
the looper, so that its sound isn’t
affected by your other pedals.
You do not need to have an
instrument plugged in for the
BeatBuddy Mini to produce sound.

Controlling the Beat
Start: Begin song by tapping the
pedal. The song starts with an
intro ll, just like a real drummer,
and then goes to the verse, which
loops as long as you'd like.
Fills: If you want a ll, just tap the
pedal any time, and a ll will play,
perfectly in time.
Transition: To transition to the
chorus, hold the pedal down for
as long as you’d like it to last.
Chorus: When you’re ready to
start the chorus, let go. The
chorus beat loops as long as you
like. Return to verse the same
way you transitioned to chorus.
End: Whenever you want to end
the song, double-tap the pedal to
end with an outro ll.
Tip: Use the transition beat to play a bridge.

Visual Metronome
BeatBuddy Mini includes several
time signatures. The Visual
Metronome aids your timing by
moving a bar to the beat. A 4/4
beat has a bar 1/4th the size
of the screen, a 5/4 beat has a
bar 1/5th the size of the screen
and so on. This way, you know
exactly where you are in the
measure, when that ll will end,
when that next song part will
start, and so on, tightening your
chops like never before.
Also, each small LED lights up
when its drum part is triggered.
The large LED changes color to
match the song part, and pulses
in time with the beat, letting you
know exactly where you are in
the song.
