I'm a lone bassist most of the time, my friend refuses to play "generic drum beats".....
This pedal has some Drum Effects on it, that interest me alot. Does anyone have any experience with this pedal?

It seems to be quite a lot of peoples first multi, it's serviceable and for it's price, does an admirable job.

In my opinion, if your friend doesn't want to hold a groove by the book for once, then find another drummer. Alternatively, just use EZdrummer. The sound quality is high and the loops are alright.
Getting a drum loop pedal for your bass isn't worth it. But it as a multiFX, not as a drum machine.

The presets are decent and you can program in your own tracks.

The Metronome and drum beat machine would aid in solo practice.
Am I on the right track, or should I look in another direction... |
