Not sure if I'm the very first to receive it, but I'm pretty certain I'm the first to post a pic... and happy to start the new thread.

Which is continued from the pre order thread :

http://www.talkbass.com/threads/worlds-first-drum-machine-in-pedal-form.975188/

and open for anyone who wants to continue our conversations here.

Anyone who's not yet onboard and interested can learn more at www.mybeatbuddy.com. If I'm not mistaken, David can't do that so I'm doin it for him.

The geniuses at Beat Buddy sent mine to the wrong address/wrong zipcode. And this is after having correctly filled out and answered their several requests for address. Waiting to see how long it takes to hear from an actual human there......been 2 hours and counting. Looks like customer service is not going to be one of their strengths......Note, they seem to have had zero trouble billing my credit card.....
 
First impressions:

Same as everyone else's.

This little box is absolutely brilliant! I hooked it into my monitors and the sounds are incredible. Really does sound like real drums, not a beat box (except of course for the beat box like samples). I could lock myself in my room with this pedal for days. The fills are tasteful, there are a lot of beats to work with, and it seems almost idiot proof. I suck bad with effects as far as trying to figure them out goes, and for all this is capable of, it's an absolute no brainer. Very very happy with my new Beat Buddy. Would post a vid but my studio is a mess, and I'm in my underwear. Not that the latter ever stopped me.

Only thing I'm a tad disappointed about is my midi cable did not come along with it. I really wanted to hook it right up with the Boomerang looper, but I can't. I guess I'm going to have to follow up on that cable and hope it gets here soon. Still haven't hooked up the extra footswitches. I bought mine on amazon before they decided to make ones specifically for the beat buddy. Just need now to remember where I put em :).

Really sorry about that. We'll take care of the issue immediately. You should have received an email already.
