I got one for my country praise band, with the 2 button footswitch. Well made, sounds good, but most of the presets weren't appropriate to the genre, so each drum pattern for what we were doing would have to be set up, and since there was no ability to store user-created patterns, drum parts had to be created from scratch every time.

It all might work for recording, but wasn't at all usable live without a learning curve much steeper than my bandleader's inclinations (or mine!), so it sits in its box on my bookshelf. If we could have stored presets we created it would definitely have worked out. Winking

Two pedals you may also want to look at are the SDRUM https://www.digitech.com/band-creator/SDRUM3532.html?dwvar_SDRUM_color=White-GLOBAL-Current&cgid=band-creator#start=1 and TRIO+ https://www.digitech.com/band-creator/TRIOPLUS.html

SDRUM is a drum machine pedal that accepts drum pattern programming using different strings on your guitar.

TRIO+ is a looper, bass and drum machine pedal that uses style patterns created by PG Music (Band-in-the-Box).

I got my BeatBuddy pedal recently and I really like it, but I've been rolling my own drum sets for it as well as creating my own MIDI patterns (I do all that using Cubase Pro which I have many years of experience with).

To Dave's point above, I keep all my generated MIDI patterns on my computer, so very easy to reuse or edit them.

I don't recommend it for those without technical chops or lots of patience unless you're OK with the built in or expansion libraries (which are numerous). The sound quality and available storage are excellent.
