I use a Boss RC-500 for my duo gigs similar to what you described. Some presets I use the internal drum machine, pick a style, pattern, remove any parts you don't want and adjust the speed. On a few songs I've recorded percussion and bass loops at home and save to a preset. You can also either make your own in a DAW, or recorded if you're a drummer, and import that track into the pedal. I will usually just look for an isolated drum track for a particular song I like, record bass to it and save that to a preset. Sometimes I'll just record percussion loops to save by whacking my guitar a bit.
