I ended up having issues with my BeatBuddy but forgot to keep my warranty up to date. They don't do to repairs and there no one anywhere that does. BeatBuddy says they will replace them, but only with the warranty (of course). So I've now got to buy another one. Dang! Once I get the I will order another one.

I have owned my Beatbuddy since they were first introduced around 2013. I love the pedal but the full potential can only be delivered with supporting software. They have not updated that since 2014 and have now thrown it out for open source development as they move on to building other products. It’s too bad because this pedal has so much potential.

its great and has loads of beats that also work with thousands of songs and you can use it to set up your own songs as well way to many features to list here in a review its worth the money its a must have ,, i dont own it yet iam rentingit at this time but iam going to make the purchase soon ,, i have a few videos on my youtube channel on this pedal goto kevysrc&music and seach my channel for the beatbuddy and beatbuddy mini as i did rent it for a bit its also grat but this is the one i wanted the most in the end and for my needs i needed the original beatbuddy.. the only thing missing from this is the ability to learn a beat from your own playing if this was added in then it would get 5 stars all the way

Ayant un petit groupe de musique nous nous sommes procuré cette pédale dans le but de l'utiliser comme métronome il y a de ça un an. Nous avons été surpris de la qualité sonore et les banques de rythme de départ sur la carte son suffisant. Avec les multiples ajustements, BPM, Rythmes variés et jeux de batteries on fini par trouver un rythme qui convient. Même que c'est rendu que sans ce rythme, il manque quelques choses à notre band. Ça ne remplace pas un drummer mais c'est surprenant. Utilisation simple et intuitive, Vraiment efficace,

By far the best practice aid ever! I went from feeling like a bad newby to stage worthy just by adding a drummer that sounds so real!! It makes practice a fun experience instead of work.

Works as advertised and easy to learn and use. Sounds fantastic... and all the beats, transitions and fills are realistic and fluid. I am a former drummer who is now playing acoustic guitar and singing, and this is the coolest thing ever. So much fun to play with. I've only had it a month and already have over 45 songs programmed in sets. I am not a professional yet, but soon.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
