✓48 PRESET GROOVES ACROSS 6 STYLES: Choose from Pop, Funk, Metal, Rock, Blues, and Jazz, with 8 numbered grooves in each bank. Sample-based drum audio gives guitarists and bassists a fuller rhythmic reference than a basic click for timing practice, riff writing, and casual jams. These are fixed preset patterns—not editable drum kits, user-programmable beats, or song arrangements—and some grooves within a bank may feel similar. Audition the choices and note your favorites for faster recall.
✓REAL-TIME FILL & TAP TEMPO: Trigger the matching fill while a rhythm is playing to create a transition, or tap in the tempo you want instead of guessing with a knob. The 40-240 BPM range covers slow practice through faster rock and metal work. One important control detail: the footswitch changes behavior with the selected function; while Fill mode is active, each press triggers a fill rather than stopping playback. Return to the normal start/stop function when you are ready to end the groove.
✓SAMPLED DRUM SOUND WITH LEVEL & EQ CONTROL: Set the drum level against your instrument, then use the secondary EQ function to reduce low-end buildup or add high-frequency presence when playing through a guitar amp, bass amp, or FRFR speaker. Speed and EQ share the same control, so hold the LED/function button to access EQ and set it before playing. This is a practical tonal adjustment for the drum track, not an independent multi-band mixer, and your amp or speaker still has a major effect on the final sound.
✓BUILT FOR PRACTICE, SONGWRITING & SMALL SOLO SETUPS: Use the AT-06 when a metronome feels uninspiring: improve timing at home, test riffs against different feels, capture a quick phone demo, teach students to stay on the beat, or add simple rhythmic backing to a rehearsal, coffeehouse set, or busking session. It can provide a useful groove foundation, but it does not follow your playing like a live drummer and offers no detailed beat editing or custom pattern storage.
✓COMPACT METAL PEDAL, CLEAR POWER REQUIREMENTS & SUPPORT: At 93.5 x 42 x 52 mm and 157 g, the AT-06 fits easily on a compact pedalboard and uses standard 1/4-inch instrument connections. Power it with a regulated 9V DC, center-negative supply providing at least 120mA; the adapter is not included and there is no battery compartment. A weak, noisy, or incorrect-polarity supply can cause noise or improper operation, so test with a dedicated compatible adapter. If it still will not start or stops working, contact AITONE through Amazon for support.
