Absolute rubbish.. I read on one of the Guitar forums that the company that puts these on their Guitars have a room full of unplayable Guitars fitted with this junk.
They make lots of claims about how good it is but the reality is it breaks strings, twists necks and has crappy nylon gears that suddenly shag out at exactly the wrong moment....
Besides, if a player cant use their ear, fingers and a tuner they probably should get some lessons.......
Such a pity that this company waste heaps of cash producing these useless "innovations" rather than building a decent Guitar.....

There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
haha nice one another product added to the growing list of DB's banned products. I agree if you can't tune an axe don't play it !

Yeah I'll stick with a tuner and turn the keys myself. Used a pitchfork and my ear when I first started playing. Tuners weren't even around yet.
hope I did not come across sounding like I am having a go at Paul. I am glad he posted this one as it is another classic example of technology dumbing things down..

Well while you're on the subject of useless bits of kit here's one that keeps popping up every site I visit and gets my vote for a total waste of time and that's the BeatBuddy.

My interpretation of the Beatbuddy sales pitch...
* Are you tired of just being the guitarist in your band?
* Do you feel even though you've got your own effects pedalboard to worry about you're still under utilizing your feet?
*Sick of "real" drummers never shutting up while you're trying to tune up or discuss important band stuff with the more mature members of the group?
* Ever wonder why tap dancers get all the chicks?
So stop being so fricken lazy, sack your drummer today and get those feet moving.
COMING SOON - The BeatBuddy Hat, so you can do those all important cymbal crashes....with your head.
Too funny Barge,,sounds terrible.. Also notice he whips out a green Djent guitar part way in...

If it's programmable the beat buddy can actually be a useful tool. Especially when writing. If it can play Ska beats, Reggae, funk, whatever I happen to be writing at the time it could be useful to help me hear how a certain song will sound. My zoom pedal has a basic built in drum machine and it's helped me time and time again.
Other than that I see no use for it. I would certainly never use it on stage or even to lay drum tracks. I have a digital machine for that and there's a crap ton of vst's out there that sound like the real thing.
I think what's sad is how they market these things to new musicians who might not know better or are looking for a quick way to do something. I know many solo guitarists who use things like this as well as loopers so they can fill out their sound. I understand why they do but it's not something I would do.
I've already had half a dozen guitarists ask me about the tuner. I've told them all the same thing. If you can't use a tuner and turn the keys yourself you're lazy and should put the guitar down.
It is programmable, that's suppose to be it's usp. So you sit down at your computer and spend God knows how many hours punching beats into this thing, then you've gotta turn round and drive it on stage or wherever you're using it.Originally Posted by Rob L
I mean if I'm going to the trouble of programming midi drums, well I'll just do it in my DAW and play over that, voila no tap dancing needed and I get decent sounding drum samples.
Totally agree Rob, anytime I start writing its always guitars in conjunction with beats, that way (as you say) you get a feel for the song, but that's why we use DAW's, you certainly don't need a gimmicky pedal for that.
You gotta give the dude points for multi-tasking I guess:P
Djent or DIE!!!
