Lekato Looper Pedal Review: Ultra Affordable And Feature-Packed!

[@Seekaywastaken]

I believe pressing those two small buttons at the same time activates a built in tuner.

[@gannonkevin9805]

i dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know a way to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot my login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!

[@theWARMJET]

isnt the Cuvave looper pro the same as this?

[@sundaydiver]

Great demo, and very well narrated, even for folks like me who are still relatively new to "gear." It would have never occurred to me to use a looper to dial in my guitar/amp sound. Brilliant.

[@michaelklug3119]

Just got this pedal a couple of weeks ago and just love it ! Always love watching other reviews on it and really enjoyed your video, very well explained and presented. Looking forward to checking out your other vids👍 Great job. Thanks.

[@3DThrills]

I haven't bought this pedal (yet) but I believe that those two little arrow buttons on the screen are to switch between the 9 available channels. If you hold them both down at the same time, it turns into a guitar tuner. I noticed that the volume knob didn't seem to lower the volume. It sounded about the same on 1 as on 5, and then it was completely off.

[@CarpRidesAgain]

Really like the led's that let you know when the loop is coming around. That's like common sense

[@kevinbynum3660]

Can record an acoustic loop then plug in an electric to it to play over it?

[@lesharrison3739]

Great demo! I bought this looper about a month ago and have been impressed. Incredible pedal for the price. Thanks! New subscriber.

[@LucasFowler]

Thanks for the sub!

[@DragonofLimerick]

Mine is the Boss RC-2, absolutely love it since there is no one to play with around here. That pedal is definitely very cool! I've never thought of using the looper to change the amp settings, that is a wicked helpful hack!!

[@roykim412]

Bro one late question, where can i buy rc-2 model? I can't find it :(

[@PolishHammer]

excellent review I am new to the looper thing and this is not only a great review of the pedal but a good demonstration of how to use one, thanks!

[@beanapalooza6614]

Dude your Alabama homie here. Been stuck in the hospital for a week. Jammin on your 2 CDs , so glad I found out about them and bought them. Never have to worry about buffering ( free interweb lol ) to get to the creamy night center!!! LoL I've heard " signed " bands that aren't as good as you cats!! Thanks!

[@LucasFowler]

Thanks a bunch man, I'm sending my best wishes for your speedy recovery!

[@KatieBerryBooks]

Great review. But I didn't see you cover the Guitar Tuner function?

[@SuperRigsby1]

Had to return mine as I had issues importing and exporting wav files on Windows. Sometimes transferred completed file but didn't play correctly with hissing and buzzing. Sometimes wouldn't transfer file at all and then just became unresponsive. As a looper pedal it was simple to use but no use to me if I cannot import and export using the USB.

[@gosman949]

has anyone else had this same problem with importing and exporting wav files? Or was this just a one off issue?

[@mikelee1906]

So you could take the output of a mixer and plug into the looper input and record a guitar, bass, mandolin, drum machine (all plugged into the mixer)? Also how do you activate the 9 loops that you can store. Can you change the length of the loop?

[@LBNLDC1]

Thanks. The other guy's video didn't explain how to stop or how to delete the original loop. Yours did both.

[@hammill444]

Interesting, but the big question with these is always the same: is it durable at all?

[@randomlight1069]

Still trying to get a continuous loop😮 Do I have to play a certain number of bars for a proper loop? Heyulp!

[@zebrahuhn5899]

I also like the loop LEDs. But: not usable in live situation, as the long press starts playing the loop, before deleting it. I guess most one-button devices have that issue...

[@dankelpuff8381]

you could just turn it down but that requires a free hand. Other than its so cheap you can mod it without fear of losing a lot of money if you break it. But out of the box I'd only use it for practice.

[@benpowersguitar]

Cool, looper pedals are great. That one seems cool man. Thanks for sharing.

[@adriantyler6911]

Just bought one...outstanding value!!

[@stevekitella4781]

I just ordered one in canada for $84 Cdn. Watched another video on it and liked what I saw. These look awesum. Can't wait to get it.

[@LorenNand]

Great demo... yahooo. Can I ask what is the polarity of the power supply?

[@marcthacker4walls]

Cool stuff, and a heck of a price! Excellent guitar playing, btw, and Merry Christmas!

[@justinmills6610]

I just received this looper today. I plugged the 9 volt plug in and nothing appears. A "U" appears when i plug the micro usb in but that's it. Any idea what my problem is anyone?

[@rastafurrian3724]

Check the polarity of the extension. If it is a two-pronged jack, try it the other way.

[@lajikaelpitiya8880]

The loop pedal is stuck. It connects to the laptops, but does not allow me to delete any of my loops. It's really weird, because the pedal does not show the normal blue or red light. It's stuck on the purple lights. Is it broken or is there anything I can do to fix this?

[@randydavis941]

well explained and seems to be a bucket list check mark, Thanks

[@jeanclaudedelaronde]

AHH! I was just looking for one! Thanks for this video Lucas this is useful info.

[@MrWeedpatch]

Great job on this demo....what amp did you use? Thanks so much....

[@markpeat6688]

Which power supply would I need? Are all 9v power supply universal, or do I need a specific one? Thanks. Good review BTW.

[@LucasFowler]

9V adapters are not universal, but the kind used for most guitar pedals is what you want here. If you haven't got one already, I recommend getting one of these and then you can power tons of pedals as you add them. www.amazon.com/Truetone-1-Spot-Combo-Pack/dp/B000RNB720/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=one+spot&qid=1578755110&s=musical-instruments&sr=1-2

Love the tone hack! Hadn't thought of that

[@nickfowler602]

dad?

[@LucasFowler]

SON?!

[@realboltfan]

hahahaa

[@metal2]

where can i download a manual for this been looking ty

[@w.rustylane5650]

Thanks for posting. I was wondering how long the loops were. Thanks for explaining.

[@LucasFowler]

Glad it was helpful!

[@israelunterman]

Very interesting review and great playing, thanks!

[@batmany2k]

i have it it is awesome do one on the mooer one with drums next thanks

[@borisgiovannone8463]

I just bought one but NOT on Amazon! 😉🤘

[@wojciechstecyszyn6040]

Hi. Does it work as good with bass? Does the tuner respond to the bass signal well?

[@JamForThought]

does it have the auto record feature?

[@thefreese1]

I just bought 1 on Amazon for 49 bucks.. awesome

[@serdavezilla6494]

Good stuff. I almost bought a ditto a month ago. Lol

[@johnegan4762]

Question: So when you want to erase the loop (to do a new one by holding the button down) do you need to hear a split second of the loop you are erasing before it is deleted?

[@kerryreedus333]

Good Question. I need to know whether I have to Delete every Loop that I have added to, or Can I just delete one solitary Loop at a time? Ones that I don't like or that I may have got badly wrong? Deleting all the Loops would be like a PlayStation death- the continuous 'Start Over' . May never get some inspirational Loops the same again....

[@wc3415]

Can the second layer be longer than the first?

[@Shanote248]

Do I need an extra SD Card? If Yes which one? (eBay Link would be great!)

[@babiikakes7922]

clear demo. thanks

[@youngkinghedwig]

i dont know what im doing wrong. I cant get the loop to close and start perfrctly. i am stepping on it at the end of my 4 chord progression and theres a split second pause of silence after, no matter what i do. i thought it was the pedal so i bought a different one and its still doing the same thing. can someone help me>? It's not a timing or rhythm issue for me, i've been playing for 20 years and im good, i just have never been a pedals guy and i seem to be following these instructions and the instructions in the pamphlet . im just so confused

[@LucasFowler]

What you want to do is start the loop on the "1" of the beat, then when you finish, you want to stop the loop in *exactly* the same place, on the "1". Often for me this feels like starting to play the progression again. You need to hit the button in rhythm with the song, basically. If you bought another loop pedal and it's doing the same thing, we can safely assume it's a technique thing, which is good, because it will be easy to fix :P

[@AxemanMessiah]

Is this better than the RC-1?

[@MantisCrawl]

How do you turn it off?

[@UncleAL2006]

can I use this to record ideas? What I mean is if I lay down a nice loop, will it still be there after it's been unplugged for a while?

[@LucasFowler]

You can definitely use it to record ideas and then plug the pedal into the computer to download them. I *think* the loops will stay there since it works like a flash drive, but I'm not sure.

[@freesk8]

Nice! Thanks! :)

[@alabamahebrew]

Oh yeah! My Fender modeling amp foot switch comes with a built in looper!! Lol... I decided a few months ago to step into the world of pedals and I bought a new Cry Baby - and yes, cry like a baby I did, you can't use any pedals with the Modeling amp unless it's the effects pedal specifically made for this amp. Why didn't you tell me this before I bought the new Cry Baby Lucas? Lol, Actually I can use it but the amp will only play on the studio Pre-amp setting which means it's just nothing but all clean tones. Oh well, maybe I will that AMS give away from yesterday and win that Marshall 50 watt head with the 4x12 cabinet!! Hey, did your dad get a looper pedal for Christmas? He said he didn't have one on your video the other day lol. The issue I have with the looper is the timing of when to stop it, lol I never seem to hit it just right, luckily my recording software also has a looper!

[@jeromeo12]

How do you turn off this looper? The lights are always on.

[@trex99998]

Unplug it

[@AdamHigginsMusic]

my lekato looper records the clicking of the pedal into the loop itself, have you experienced this? is there a workaround?

[@kerryreedus333]

OOh, that doesn't sound good, if you'll pardon the pun 😉. I have this Lekato in my basket right now but I am concerned about the Delete function. All my Loops or can I just Delete 1 that I may not like whereas the rest is my dream sound coming through + an audible Click then, ....

[@AdamHigginsMusic]

@@kerryreedus333 you can undo the last overdub you’ve added to a loop but that’s as far as you can undo. Whatever you’ve got layered before that undo is staying there unless you delete the entire loop. You have 9 banks of separate loops you can work on. but once you switch from one bank to another you can’t go back and undo the latest overdub.

[@kerryreedus333]

@@AdamHigginsMusic Many Thanks for your reply! Will just have to be happy with each Loop before adding another, cheers. Have one on it's way🎵

[@maryhinge128]

is the loop length "set"? what if i want to loop a 2-4 second phrase?

[@missioncreekfarm7715]

Lekato says that a single loop can be a max of 10 minutes... wow.

[@awittykitty8858]

Could I use this on an amp without a FX loop input/output jack?

[@LucasFowler]

Yes, though if you run it into a distorted amp sound it won't be quite as clean.

[@mrkrieg1963]

So it seems like I couldn’t record a clean rhythm loop then record an OD lead line since my OD is on my amp... I would need a pedal before the looper wouldn’t I.

[@LucasFowler]

I would put the looper in the FX loop, assuming your amp has one.

[@mrkrieg1963]

Lucas Fowler thank for the reply. I don’t think it does, since I’m not sure what you’re talking about. I have a Blackstar Fly3

[@LucasFowler]

Ah yeah in that case you'd need to have the drive come from a pedal before the looper.

[@bigkeg9173]

Is this a paid ad?

Great idea ☺

[@supernoobsmith5718]

Here's my problem. I've never owned a pedal that didn't break unless it said Boss on it.

[@hammill444]

A good point

[@Smart-Alex]

Check out the ehx nano 360 looper. Have had it for over a year and no issue.

[@juanvaldez5422]

Supernoob Smith I have never had but one that broke that DIDNT have boss on it

[@supernoobsmith5718]

Juan - Lol, that's odd. I don't even think I've ever seen a Boss pedal break. My list of owned pedals is not vast. But I have a broken OCD, broken Crybaby, broken Morley, broken tubescreamer, broken Seymour Duncan boost, and probably a few I forgot. Of the 4 boss pedal I currently have, never a problem, and they are heavily used basic pedals....tuner, chorus, delay, compression. And a couple I traded just because I didn't use them. What Boss has broken on you?

[@I_leave_mean_comments]

So write Boss on it.

[@mojojojo3411]

Does it work well with a microphone?

[@mojojojo3411]

Also, let's say that I want to switch instruments in the middle of a loop, bc lbs we're on a budget here. Can I unplug, say, a quarterinch to xlr then plug in a quarter inch to a different instrument?

[@LucasFowler]

I don't think this pedal would do what you're looking for. It's a pretty standard guitar looper and that's about all it will do. I wouldn't try to run a mic into it, at minimum you would have to have an XLR to 1/4" cable to make that work.

[@mojojojo3411]

@@LucasFowler So I actually ended up buying this looper. Just got it in a few hours, actually. It worked pretty well with the mic. I busk regularly, so I had a 1/4 in to XLR handy. It actually was able to do all the things that I was hoping for! I'm pretty stoked about it, actually. Though I'm still not sure how channels 2-9 work, like what their function is. I guess just storage?

[@tonyduong3275]

Mojo Jojo you’re a busker? Me too. That’s what I use my Lekato for. I just used to for a Mr. Blue Sky cover that I plan to play on the street. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2PIqaSFr5p6hNk

Be prepared to pay for a 9volt charger back to Walmart $20 .00 universal adapter

[@mobean7406]

totally useless pedal if you can't erase the overdub, which unfortunately on mine isn't possible. so there went 70 bucks

[@kushkarma7081]

dont you press and hold down? you just cant delete a previous overdub thats all

[@mobean7406]

@@kushkarma7081 Maybe I'm missing something but I can't undo an overdub without doing the entire thing over

[@missioncreekfarm7715]

You can delete the 'latest' overdub, but not one under it. So basically, you have to delete the layers from the last to the first in order if you want. In other words, if you have 3 layers 1, 2, 3, you delete 3 to get to 2 etc, but can't go straight to 2 and delete it.

[@kerryreedus333]

@@missioncreekfarm7715 Mate, your brilliant advise answers my Question too, can you Delete 1 Loop at a time or does it just Delete them all ? So, guess I need I need to be very happy with my Loop work before I add the next Loop. Thank you very much and ...... over to 'tab' Amazon..... click on Buy! Bye too!🎵🎶
