Pick up and play

Less Setup Between You and the Guitar

Strum Buddy was designed around one simple idea: practice should not require a full amp setup every time you want to play for a few minutes.

Mount it directly to the guitar

The integrated rubber suction cup attaches the Strum Buddy to the guitar body so the monitor moves with you while you play.

Leave the wall outlet out of it

The internal rechargeable battery provides up to about 3.5 hours of playing time, so quick practice does not depend on AC power.

Effects are already inside

Clean sound plus Crunch, Chorus and Reverb give you useful tone options without adding pedals or another effects unit to the setup.

Built in DSP effects

Change the Feel Without Building a Pedalboard

The Strum Buddy gives you the core sounds needed for casual practice and quick writing sessions directly from the unit. Use a clean sound or add Crunch, Chorus and Reverb when you want more character.

Clean Play without an added effect when you want the simplest signal path.

Crunch Add distortion for riffs, leads and a more driven guitar sound.

Chorus Add width and movement for clean chords, textures and melodic parts.

Reverb Add space around the guitar without connecting another processor.

Practice without the ritual

Made for the Moments When a Full Guitar Rig Is Too Much

Strum Buddy is not trying to replace your main amplifier. It is built for the situations where convenience is what gets you playing.

At home

Couch practice

Pick up the guitar and play without carrying an amp over or running a long cable across the room.

Writing

Capture ideas faster

Keep a simple amplified sound close by when you are working through chords, riffs or song ideas.

Learning

Lessons and classrooms

A compact personal monitor makes it easier to hear the instrument without setting up a conventional practice amp.

Away from home

Travel practice

Its compact size and rechargeable battery make Strum Buddy easy to take along when you want to keep playing away from your main setup.
