  • Page 4: Sound Quality

    All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com Sound Quality The BeatBuddy sounds best when played through a full-range, neutral stereo sound system. Many guitar and bass amps are either not full range (they muffle the higher frequencies) and/or provide distortion which lowers the quality of the BeatBuddy’s sound.
  • Page 5 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com The BeatBuddy does not change your instrument’s sound! The input jacks are there in case you want to put both the BeatBuddy and your instrument sounds into the same sound system without the need for a mixer.
  • Page 6 If you are plugging other pedals into the BeatBuddy, the BeatBuddy should be last on the pedal effects chain, after the looper, so that the BeatBuddy’s sound isn’t affected by your other pedals. You do NOT need to have an instrument plugged into the BeatBuddy for it to produce sound.
