Lekato Cube Baby Pedal - Amp Modeling, IRs, Delay, Reverb, Chorus, Phaser, and more!

[@darthgibsonlp6631]

That's a real cute pedal for the money - a lot of functionality and some really nice effects. We've come a long long way since the 90s on these kind of units, there's never been a better time to be a guitarist old or new...

[@lmoore5264]

Nathan I really enjoyed your video on the Cube baby. I am in my 45th year of playing in classic rock bands. About 10 years ago I fell in love with the Fender Mustang 3 amp because of the modeling and all the on board effects and cabinets it offers. But I am getting some age on me so I wanted to downsize for a practice amp and only tote the Mustang around for gigs. So I picked up a little Crate 15 watt practice amp that has reverb and a fair clean sound, but the overdrive was sorely lacking. So I just bought the Cube baby and I have to say for what it is it is a remarkable little unit. It is so small that I actually fastened it to my guitar strap with velcro, then I plugged my Les Paul into it lastly plugged my wireless into it. You can be on the dance floor and change sounds on the fly. It works well with the Mustang 3 at gigs and equally well with the tiny Crate Screech amp for practice. I would have never bought one of these had I not watched your video on it. A seasoned player or a beginner could both benefit from this thing. Thank you so much for your video.

[@NathanSink]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m glad it’s working for you. And fastening it to your strap is a very inventive way to use it! All the best. 🙂

Best demo I've seen on the product. Very clear and does not assume I am already familiar with all aspects of the settings.

[@NathanSink]

Thank you! Glad to help. 😊

[@charlesdonaldson3849]

Great demo, I would use this with my travel rig in my rv. Looking forward to exploring sounds with an acoustic guitar as well.

[@nicksantus5307]

there is an acoustic version available as well. But this seems to be fine with an acoustic, Depending on your settings at the time But as i say they do have an acoustic version

[@wphill2]

This thing is awesome! thanks for the tutorial! this is the perfect entry level pedal for a student and won't break the bank for parents looking for a small Christmas/holiday/birthday present. I'll be sure to send this video over as a nice tutorial when i have students buy this multi effect.

this pedal is great for at the beach or the lake playing.i pluged into the aux of my friends truck and jammed just fine.this is what i use it for.HELLO FROM TEXAS.

Bro, can I connect it to a Bluetooth speaker?

[@DuggyFamBam]

Awesome Demo, I would definitely play it live after I adjusted the iR's to my personal specifications.

I'm a 66 year young guitar player. Iam also disabled and sure could use that pedal! I'm impressed with your music, your pretty good. I'm a strat/ Tele guy, but on 600.00 a mo. Disability payments I struggle to have dough to buy stuff! Have a great day.

[@stevedarval4253]

Looks cool, it'd be great for traveling and practicing. Interesting little box. I liked the Soldano IR setting best.

[@BeatMeter]

I love the coffee mug for sure but I can't afford the quad cortex but this pedal has alot of features for such a small pedal.

[@antoniovelez5518]

In terms of technology that pedal is realy an advanced device regard to its size and functionality even if some like it or not !!!

[@NathanSink]

I agree!

With the battery power these are great to put in a travel guitar gigbag.

Very cool pedal! A travelers dream right here.

Daniel! 😊

[@johnfelser1164]

I liked the CAli amp (Soldano IR) when playing the Americana Tom Petty-ish tone in the Live Mode the best! Definitely sounded the fullest and had possibilities with the sound I seek when playing out, as when the volume was turned up, the overdrive didn't overpower the overall tone!!!

[@peterpowell6024]

At 74 anything that helps the sound is a gift to me I have 5 guitars 12 string (2) acoustics nylon (1) acoustic steel and a resonator steel string . My wife says I’m excessive and says I’m crazy maybe because I have Parkinson’s the drugs can make you a bit loopy fear not this old fart will die rocking Being a drummer all my life I felt it was time to be a musician and learn guitar got myself an app for breaking music down into chords now I can play any song I want to (not very well according to the boss). Life is great with music. Peter. Australia

[@NathanSink]

Thanks for sharing, Peter. Love to hear your passion for music. Keep it up! 👍🏻

[@johnmarshall7316]

I love the looks of that pedal, I’d love to have one

[@coolwaterdvr]

This is a rebranded cubebaby by M-Vave(Formerly Cuvave). There's a new version in which you can edit and copy a preset which is not present in the old model.

[@mynameismudd1518]

No kidding? I’m hoping to be able to use it after a ToneX pedal for the mods. Hopefully my wife ordered the newer version 😂

That looks like it would be very convenient and would fit easily in a guitar case. I could differently use it.

[@toddlusink3115]

Thank you for explaining in DETAIL the features of the Lekato processor. The one thing I could not fully understand is how to use the Bluetooth on the processor AND connect my Bluetooth headset to my Samsung galaxy phone via Bluetooth at the same time so I can play both my guitar and play along with KZbin with utilizing my phone's Bluetooth headset. Can you please give me some insight on how to do this. My processor is coming this Monday from Amazon. Thanks

[@NathanSink]

Thanks for the kind words. As far as your question, that’s a tough one. 🤔 I don’t have a Samsung phone or the pedal anymore so I’m not sure how much help I can be. 😬 Hopefully someone here knows & can chime in.

[@Prefabfan-q2q]

I've had mine for an hour and still have no sound out of it. Step on things, turn knobs, turning off Bluetooth, and tried guitar tuner, I think that worked. Fender MIM Telecaster to Blues Jr. Knobs that don't work! What a concept!!

[@NathanSink]

@@Prefabfan-q2q sorry to hear that. Hope you get it sorted.

[@eltotho76]

Is there a way to do a factory reset for the presets?

[@NathanSink]

Yes, I believe so in the software.

[@SergioHeMa]

Can I connect this to a Bluetooth speaker through Bluetooth and use it as an Amplifier?

[@NathanSink]

@@SergioHeMa I’m not sure. I don’t have the pedal anymore. Maybe someone else can chime in and help.

[@BEMYPAIN]

Nice and Cute Pedal..😘😘😘

[@robertclarkguitar]

Sounds like the amp sim or IR is tied to the cab/reverb meaning if you want reverb you need cab sim running if not No cab sim unless you dial the verb down. What a horrible idea. Hahah. But the price is there for a reason. This was definitely a budget but platform a company built and sold cheap as it ran out of money or a company built it cheap and put their time into amp IR tones and effects but not the pedal as much ...Not sure how long these will last but seems cool. I actually like the lead and chorus cleans. Would like to demo this. Can't hurt.

[@trex672]

Hey! Just wondering if anyone has had any luck connecting via USB to a Mac. I'm getting nada. I downloaded the latest Mac software from Cuvave, but I can't get my Mac to see the Cube Baby (except for the Bluetooth connection which is working).

[@NathanSink]

Weird. That’s exactly how I connected mine & made this video; USB to Mac. 🤔

[@trex672]

@@NathanSink Thanks for the quick reply. Are you plugged into a hub? All my regular slots are in use. I honestly can't think of any reason it's not working.

[@buelow123]

Would it be possible to play bass through it. The dedicated bass pedal doesn't have amp modelling.

[@NathanSink]

I believe so. I don’t have the pedal anymore, but someone mentioned you could tap B & C to put it in live mode & bypass the amp models.

[@DeadShred9]

Good review but without hearing it Chug & Shred I cant gauge what it does well and what it doesn't ??

[@NathanSink]

True. I did not shred. Not really a shredder, myself. But I could have chugged. Sorry about that.

I’d it possible to turn off the IR and Amp completely to be used along with say a ToneX pedal… is that possible? I’m thinking of grabbing one for the effects

[@NathanSink]

Unfortunately it doesn’t look like there is a way to turn off all of the amp simulations.

[@mynameismudd1518]

@@NathanSink There actually is… you put it in live mode by tapping B and C. I got one last week. I’m using it for the delay, chorus and phase. Not too bad actually

You can turn off the ir cab by taking the knob of ir to 1

Cleans sound good, but the distortion sounds are near unusable due to the noise. I had this pedal and the noise was just too much. Hopefully the next model will include some type of gate.

Yep, you can connect to computer via the USB port to record. Thats how I have it set up & recorded in the video.

​@@NathanSink I like the portability.

[@cleangoblin2021]

What speakers/amp are you using? I noticed that the both output plugs arent connected. Mine sounds like crap through my cheap amp

[@NathanSink]

I was recording this via USB straight into the computer. You can see the cable coming out of the top of the unit in the video. If you plug it into an amp you’ll need to turn off the speaker simulator (IR). Otherwise, you’ll need flat range response speakers.
