Effects pedals

Notes: DigiTech announces SDRUM Strummable Drums, the first-ever intelligent drum machine for guitarists and bassists. Boasting studio-quality samples and five professional sounding drum kits and BeatScratch technology, SDRUM allows users to create drum patterns by simply strumming strings.

As a player scratches across guitar or bass strings, he or she "teaches" SDRUM a kick/snare pattern that defines a desired beat. Once that pattern is established, SDRUM then enhances and enriches the beat, resulting in a realistic accompanying drum part. From the five different kits, users are able to choose sounds appropriate to a broad variety of musical styles. Via the KICK and SNARE Pads, players can audition the various kits and tap in specific beats, while the GUITAR AUDITION Button enables the user to turn the drum output on or off while strumming.

Up to 36 songs can be stored in SDRUM, and the unit supports three different components - e.g. verse, chorus, bridge - for each that can be switched on in real-time to easily facilitate live performance and aid in composition and creativity. Additionally, JamSync functionality facilitates compatibility with JamMan loopers, further boosting SDRUM's capacity in concert, practice, and studio settings.

The compact SDRUM (5.25" x 3.15" x 2.3") is similar in size to most compact effects units and fits easily on standard pedalboards. A sturdy metal chassis, robust footswitch, and four knobs (GROOVE/KIT, LEVEL, TEMPO, and HAT/RIDES) ensure that SDRUM is stage- and road-ready.

Eliminating the need to sift through libraries of rhythm patterns in search of an appropriate match for individual songs and styles, SDRUM is the fastest way to go from a beat idea to a working drum track.

Notes: Hook is a combined drum machine and phrase looper in a single miniature pedal format. The drum section is controlled by the play/pause button which doubles as a Smart Tap Tempo trigger. 11 individual rhythm styles can be selected from to cover a vast range of music genres with output governed by an independent Drum Level control. The inbuilt 24-bit phrase looper has up to 6 minutes recording time with unlimited overdubs. The current tempo is indicated by the integral LED within the Smart Tap Tempo trigger. The Looper recording is activated by tapping the footswitch, tapping again begins playback and tapping again begins overdubbing. Holding the footswitch performs will undo overdubs in sequence or erase the loop when playback is stopped. A choice of two recording modes can be set, with NR mode for normal recording, or AR mode, which will only begin recording when a guitar note is played. Adding to the smart tap tempo operation, the Hook pedal can detect the rhythm of the guitar phrase and set the drum tempo to match it. The guitar loop also has its own level control to balance with the drum track. In addition to guitar input and mixed output jacks, there is a headphones minijack for silent practice. The last remaining connector is a type-C USB for firmware updates and even for saving and loading the onboard loop recording as a WAV file to a PC or mac computer. Disguised by its tiny form factor, Hook is a complete practice or accompaniment tool for a solo guitar player who needs intuitive features with simplicity of use.

Notes: The BeatBuddy is a drum machine in a stompbox, or a drummer pedal for short. Use this drum pedal for guitar and many other instruments. Further, we've meticulously recorded professional drummers and paired their samples with an algorithm that results in the best sounding drum machine you've ever heard.

In addition to being the most realistic drum machine on the market, it's also the easiest guitar drum pedal to use. That is to say, there's no fussing around with sequencers, and controlling the beat during a live performance is as easy as stomping on the pedal to add fills, transitions, and outros.
