Thank you Scott Wharton, Lekato's tiny manuals were really impossible to read and your video made me try again this thing after 12 months💪

[@cuchucabrera]

The best demo - review about it that Inhave found! Thanks!!

[@williamhenderson3906]

Just bought one and was a bit confused on the software side but now thanks to your review its all very much clearer. Appreciate the addition of the IR's as well. I couldn't ask for more. Many thanks 🎸

[@Guitarnivore]

Glad I could help!

[@SuccessAjayi]

Thank you for the practical guide. Really appreciated!

[@saecula2391]

cool, this thing is exactly what I was looking for, thank you very much for the instructions ✨

[@satishsaxena9937]

Best Demo with detailed and simple explanation. Thank you for your efforts and time 🙏

[@captcraig777]

Great review. I may have to buy one for future travel!

[@Daledavispratt]

THANK YOU for this video! You helped me get so much more out of my headphone amp. Subbed.

[@lechugalant1953]

Just bought it, love it and now love you, cause you did all the job I thought i'll have to do myself! Thanks! Subbed!

[@richardaguirre3719]

I bought the Donner Mini Turbo and your instructions worked the same for it. Thanks!!!

[@Guitarnivore]

Yeah., it's rebranded under several different brands. Glad it worked out for you!

[@IzzyKain]

Thanks my man!

[@Steve-Guitar-Dude]

Just ordered one from Amazon, looking forward to trying it 🙂

[@Guitarnivore]

I hope you dig it. It's a fun little toy. Playing with the IR's can make a world of difference.

[@sadko_guslyar]

Thanx a lot! Gonna bye the clone of it. Was worrying about distortion here

[@Guitarnivore]

This is probably a clone of another. A lot of stuff like this in that region is just rebranded. I hope you enjoy it. The key is finding the right IR or cab to match the distortion style.

[@jonw3462]

Thanks for the vid and links. Tried loading custom irs before and didn't work or maybe you need specific hz ones but I don't know which (but mine where official ml sound lab ones) In the end stuck with Nux mighty plug, they sound amazing. Lekato still better than the old vox headphone plugs.

[@Guitarnivore]

I've heard great thing about the NUX. I dig the Katana Go right now. I think I've only used this once or twice since posting this video. It's okay for the price, but leaves a lot to be desired.

[@jonw3462]

@@Guitarnivore I've got an axe fx and mooer ge300 but honestly use the Nux might plug and plug pro 99% of the time. Just easy and sounds great Easier to get a good tone than it was from the axe fx

[@mir9302]

Thank you. I just bought a similar one from Thomann. It's branded under a different name but is the same device. Your video was very helpful. I mentioned your KZbin video in my review on Thomann's website. A special thanks for the pdf manual, no-one over 50 can read the tiny little thing they include in the packaging 😃

[@Guitarnivore]

Thanks! That manual is ridiculous and I was like, I gotta do something about this.

[@QalinaCom]

Ha ha, I have an Ibanez that doesn't work with it, thank you for the adaptor tip! Good review and great playing!

[@jesuspuelles843]

Good tutorial. Thank you. Any link where to download the CubeSuite software?

[@Guitarnivore]

There's a link in the description. Just updated it yesterday. 👍

[@Bsc009]

Hi! Been meaning to get one myself, but I'd like to know a few things : Can you use pedals with this? Is it loud or good enough to use at a gig? In case it isn't, could I connect it to my regular amp and keep the efects and stuff? Great video and thx a lot!

[@Guitarnivore]

This is more like a practice tool. There are a lot better options out there. I'm not sure about connecting pedals to it, but you could connect it to a PA or a regular amp through power amp in. Have you checked out Boss Katana Go? That is brand new, about $120 and seems pretty awesome. Check out The Guitar Geek's video on the Katana Go. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIjTqYKbfKxjf7csi=I6bQK5aq5dNmUZ_M

[@luiscoelho3523]

Great video! Very good explanation! Thank you. How do you pair Bluetooth with speakers or headphones?

[@Guitarnivore]

Unfortunately you can't. You have to plug into it with speakers/phones.

[@luiscoelho3523]

@@Guitarnivore so what is the use of the BT function?

[@Guitarnivore]

For connecting your phone and playing along with music through the device.

[@alpesta]

Hello there, I'm thinking about to buy this product but I wonder if I can use it with my classical guitar. It has an under saddle piezo pickup. Thanks in advance. 😁

[@Guitarnivore]

I don't see why not, but I'm not sure how that will sound. I've never tried it with a piezo.

[@rainbowdeeppurple594]

Does this gadget have built in speaker (others can hear too) ? And does it have a headphone input jack (to be heard on my own) ?😊

[@Guitarnivore]

No. It's too small an wouldn't sound good with a built in speaker. Headphone jack only. To answer your other question about where to buy, you can fin it on Amazon.sg under a different brand: www.amazon.sg/AITONE-Headphone-Practice-Rechargeable-Amplifier/dp/B09H213CFF/ref=sr_1_3?crid=BLWJ02SK922L&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.E7FkSgNk7qvupRMKl3cQ65i3hpXJ4hRD38bNhieiRsJS-pZ-a-EPzu2es2_Yv-aYveFdHCEuCf2_lSxc1yOX2veuHCv9VN4KLOWPlX9HNoVWfqhkZ9Oqffl5QNGBozkgS9q_-_IQ8UUF7arXTJ5qVg.CR2LIi2b7yrCyG15l5XJ0dTE8H5gH_icukMeJlfsqes&dib_tag=se&keywords=lekato+pocket+amp&qid=1712590501&sprefix=lekato+pocket+amp%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-3

[@pedrinhodokrl]

i bought this one and its pretty much the best mini amp available....i dont have a real amp yet and i was wondering if i can use this mini amp as a ''pedal'' by connecting it to an amp, if its even possible.

[@Guitarnivore]

If you get a stereo to mono cable you can plug it into the amp from the headphone jack. Or if your amp has a power amp input, you can use that.

[@pedrinhodokrl]

@@Guitarnivore nice, thank u for answering!!

[@karmalama7501]

can i use the BT from a tablet to play back songs and play silently just in the earplugs for practice

[@Guitarnivore]

You sure can.

[@heatherroberts7116]

Hi! I can't find the software download for pc on the lekato website. Have you got a link for the download?

[@Guitarnivore]

It's in the description along with a users manual.

[@rockingstar3534]

That's some huge jumbo fret on your guitar @

[@abd-ix5qd]

How was the tone compared to NUX Mighty Plug of Fender Mustang...

[@Guitarnivore]

I have never used either of those, but I've heard good things. However, I do have the Boss Katana Go, which is comparable to the NUX and Mustang Micro and it is WAY better than this. Honestly, if you have your eye on one either of those, I would hold out and spend the extra money.

[@abd-ix5qd]

@@Guitarnivore Thanks. Seems like the hype is still on, its still difficult to get stock in my country maybe for the next 5 mos.. So I was thinking a cheap alternative for a time being is better

[@riteshpahladsingh3819]

Can i connect this to my home amplifier?

[@Guitarnivore]

Yes. You may want to use a stereo to mono adapter from the headphone jack of the device.

Can i use it for a bass guitar?

[@Guitarnivore]

The ad description says you can, but I've never tried it.

[@milanwrijaal4793]

Can I connect it with my wireless amplifier Sir?

[@Guitarnivore]

No, it only bluetooth's in from phone or tablet. It doesn't connect out. You'll have to use a cable to connect it to your amp.

[@milanwrijaal4793]

Means I can connect with my amplifier using a 1/4 cable?

[@Guitarnivore]

You would need an 1/4" to 3.5mm adapter to plug into the device. Or vice versa to plug into the amp.

Hi can You use this with Bass guitar?

[@Guitarnivore]

I am not 100% sure, but I don't see why you couldn't.

[@TheWeiner4]

massive oversite to implement the tuner in that way...

[@Guitarnivore]

Well, it's a $40 product. The tuner is just an extra perk. After buying the new Boss Katana:Go, I wouldn't even bother with these cheap ones and I would go for something like that or the Mustang Micro or perhaps the NUX Mighty Plug.
