BUY or BUST? AMP REVIEW | Pocket Guitar AMP and INTERFACE DEMO. LEKATO PA-1

[@erichkaanikin3555]

Thanks for the demo. You saved me $45 and a return trip.

[@PatPosse]

It’s all about expectations…

[@rockingstar3534]

Wow I am impressed by preset no8. I am waiting for mine to arrive. So looking forward!

[@PatPosse]

Nice! I hope you love it 🤘🏻

[@Semana14-sr3vr]

Great video, can you plug a pedal board to it? And is it possible to use a smartphone to hear the amp as you play or is it only with a headset?

[@PatPosse]

You should be able to go from the Headphone out into your phone to record but I don't think you can use the phone as a speaker, I could be wrong. You could also go from the headphone out into the input of a pedalboard but I don't know if it would sound any good...

[@Ripla_Flame]

This pocket amp looks really cool and might be good for my situation because I do travel with my guitar a lot. Might have to pick it up

[@PatPosse]

You should! I might start keeping it in my gig bag just in case!! I gotta try recording into my phone to see how it does!

[@dronebaronnoncommercialpho5494]

@@PatPosse pat I'm telling you Audio Evolution is a kick ass all in 1 daw. The drum programmer is pretty damn good in it also. I say the Istore version would be better than the Android AEM. Because you can import drumsounds from toon track & guitar support from positive grid.

[@MrXZiLE]

hello.nice review!btw is it possible to get eric johnson tone on this device?

[@PatPosse]

That’s a great question. I didn’t spend enough time with it to know but I’m sure it can get somewhat close… Maybe check this one out too… kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqDKo2l-n8iUe80si=iBte_-coBCVkYPOA Thanks for watching and commenting!

"Hi, I'm a huge fan of your channel and was wondering if I can use a third-party IR file and load it onto the pedal. For example, if someone shares an IR file to sound like Metallica's tone, would that work on this mini amp?"

[@PatPosse]

Thank you very much!! Yes! I haven’t tried it myself but I believe you can load them via usb

[@mikebob7184]

Hi Pat, the first you played sounded like Blackfoot's Highway song (I can name that tune in 3 notes)... Good review, you rock!

[@PatPosse]

Thanks man! To be honest, I’ve never heard that song lol. 😂 I do love me some southern rock though…

[@williamlahey2304]

Pretty cool. I love how all the problems of the world can be solved with the ts9. Great show bro.💪💪🤘

[@ericbaseY0]

thanks for the review. Do you think can it is good to plug it to an acoustic guitar and output to zoom handy recorder?

[@PatPosse]

You are welcome! Glad you liked it! Sure… the delay, chorus and reverb would sound really good on the acoustic/electric 👍🏻.

[@triton827triton9]

Hey Pat another question about the amp functions. I've been playing with it for a little bit now and actually really like the presets, pretty cool. My question is if you go into store mode and create your own tones and save them, does that override the original presets and you lose them forever or is it a completely separate bank and you can go back and forth. I didn't really see that explained in the manual so wondering if you know. I don't want to start creating my own tones and lose the presets for good unless there is a factory reset option. Your answer is much appreciated, thanks!

[@PatPosse]

Hey man! Glad you enjoyed it! You got me there, I haven’t gone that deep into it, after the review it didn’t get much use since I’m always in the studio (literally lol)

[@marcelhenrici9113]

@@PatPosse Agreed. Seems like technology is making things better, sometimes.

[@PatPosse]

@@marcelhenrici9113 sometimes!! Lol. I don’t know that it necessarily sounds “better” I haven’t played my amplug in years… sulfated batteries took it out of commission and I hadn’t had the necessity of getting a new one. This one does have more features 😉

[@matjagger]

Was wondering if it’s possible to use effects pedal with it?

[@PatPosse]

Yes!! I’ve actually placed a TS9 in front of it and sounded great!

[@matjagger]

@Pat Posse thank you for your reply. I just purchased one online and waiting to try it out soon. ✌️

[@PatPosse]

Cool! Let me know what you think of it once you’ve tried it out!

[@hnavia]

Hey mate, thank you for the review! I live in an apartment and I'm actually considering in buying this as my amp well, it's not a very good amp although I can use headphones with it. However, the overdrive or distortion is not so good. Being that said, I'm not a great guitar player but I do enjoy playing different styles (mostly punk songs actually) so, although I'm 99% convinced in getting it, my question is, would you recommend this mini amp for playing bands like The Offspring, Green Day, Foo Fighters and those kind of styles (I will be playing also bands like "La Renga" from Argentina and hard rock or even ska and ska punk). Thank you very much, I hope you see my comment. Kind regards from Chile in South America!

[@PatPosse]

Hey buddy! Thanks for the great comment. Let me try to help... I think for the price and size it's pretty darn good. It's not "Made in the UK Marshall head" quality or even Mesa Boogie quality but it's not BAD at all. Something i've tried since I've made this video and that has proven to be really cool is to connect the guitar to a pedal (in my case an Ibanez TS9 [or any clone of it 😉]) and connect this Headphone amp to the output of the pedal and LET IT RIP! I'm telling you, Night and Day! It takes the headphone amp from, "not bad" to "hell yeah!!!". Hope you can try it out and let me know how it turns out!! Hope to be of help my bro! I hope to visit Chile someday, soon! Cheers!

[@PatPosse]

Yeah having an internal rechargeable battery is awesome. It lasts a long time too!

[@begoz5223]

@@PatPosse I bought LEKATO, good choice I think. I mean, there are many things like usb charging that are good but the sound isn’t the best in the world. However i plugged it in an overdrive pedal and now it’s much better. Overall, with some decent headphones and 100 euros/dollars you can buy this amp and a pedal, the result is good for most players. Obviously I needed to set it in the optimal way, every parameter is important. Anyways thank you for showing me LEKATO. Just an idea, you could bring some videos on channel about testing cheap pickups or make some comparisons between very good (and expensive) pickups (SD, DiMarzio, Gibson…) and cheap ones of Amazon (FLEOR, Musiclily, Tonerider…). I don’t know if it is worth the price, but it would be interesting for pretty much every Guitar player. Thank you man.

[@olenfersoi8887]

Obviously, you are a "whammy addict" but when doing a demo of something like thism tiy should not use your "whammy bar". Having seen this device before, and listening to, but not watching your review at first, I was perplexed that there was tremolo in the first presets...when other reviewers had no tremolo their reviews. Then, I looked up at my monitor and saw that you were using the tremolo bar. Also, the device is a preamp and almost any preamp can "break up" if you blast out sound from it at a maximum. To solve the darn problem, just turn down the volume!

[@PatPosse]

I am not a whammy addict at all 🤦🏻‍♂️. Maybe that’s why I used it on the video… cause I never do lol
