This bedtime book offers simple rhymes, celebrates the numbers one through 10, and encourages the counting of objects.Įach double-page spread shows a different toddler-and-caregiver pair, with careful attention to different skin tones, hair types, genders, and eye shapes. Searchers of progressive muscle-relaxation books for children will find this choice interesting, but readers after robot fare should look elsewhere. Overall, the storyline and pictures are a typical parenting go-to-bed book rather than one for true robot fans. Bowers’ illustrations have a laser focus on Buddy, capturing the active hands and feet of a toddler playing make-believe. With gentle and methodical repetition, each wiggly part is powered down and ordered to be still: legs, bottom, belly, arms, and face. Be still.” The techno-themed scenery and language are kept to a minimum, offering just enough to give it an imaginative flavor the center of the book focuses on relaxation. The science-fiction dialogue continues through a trip to the family bathroom for a visit to the “space station potty.” When Robo-Dad commands, “Time to activate your cuddle pod,” the toddler climbs into bed while his parents start to “power down” each part of Buddy’s very active body. With spiky blond hair and chubby pink cheeks, Buddy looks in the mirror at his new robot pajamas and proclaims, “BEEP! My battery is on! I can walk and talk!” As bedtime approaches, Robo-Mom turns on her techno-voice and orders Ro-Buddy to turn on his “jumping button” until his “turbo charger” is worn out. Whether you’re a road warrior, a teacher, a student, or someone like me who likes groovy little gadgets, you’ll totally dig the Strum Buddy.Imagination and progressive relaxation are the key to powering down little Buddy, the boy “robot.” The effects are great and will keep you playing for hours. It’s just so simple to stick on, plug in, and play away. Then I was like, “Aw man, I was having so much fun!” For the first time in a long time, the Strum Buddy had me practicing guitar for over three hours and enjoying every minute of it. While I wasn’t initially enthusiastic about a guitar-mounted practice amp, I didn’t realize how much I was enjoying it until I’d exhausted the battery. If that happens, just use the cutout for the USB port and 1/8” input jack as a benchmark to reorient the skin. Also the rubber skin isn’t so tight that the plastic chassis cannot spin around inside it. Turning the guitar down will usually rectify that issue. First, high output pickups can cause both good and not-so-good feedback, especially when switching to the pickup nearest to the Strum Buddy. There are a couple of things to keep in mind.

If your guitar has a pickguard, that’s a great mounting spot.

Therefore make sure that your guitar is polished and free of surface debris, and wipe out the suction cup before affixing it to your prized possession. However it’s worth noting that any device that comes in contact with the body of your guitar has the ability to scratch the finish. The suction cup is deep and will stick on any smooth surface. There’s no ‘auto power off’ feature, so make sure to disconnect the 1/8” port when you’re done practicing just like you would any guitar with battery-powered electronics. Plugging the included 1/8”-to-1/4” cable into the audio port will turn on the power. A multicolor LED indicates charging (red) fully charged (off), and power-on (green) status. (Charging times are reduced by using higher current 2.1 Amp USB Ports.) The port is for charging only no data connection is provided, and the USB cable is included. The onboard lithium-ion battery runs for about 3.5 hours, and charging is as simple as connecting its USB Micro port to any powered USB-equipped device. It has a 40mm speaker with 6-watts of power. While the housing is plastic, it’s wrapped in soft rubber and looks like something Batman would keep on his utility belt. It’s battery powered and even has effects. The Strum Buddy is a tennis ball-sized practice amp you attach to any guitar via its built-in suction cup mount.
