Cheap LOOPER + TUNER Pedal - Lekato Looper - Demo/Review/Tutorial

[@joev1043]

I bought one of these Lekato Loop pedals last January and placed it on my pedal board. It works flawlessly and really increased the amount of time I spent practicing. Definitely worth the $$.

[@rockman49er]

Where on the board did you put it

[@joev1043]

@@rockman49er at the end of the chain. my board goes, wah -> OD -> chorus -> delay -> looper

[@blueshorecreative3146]

Yeah, I think it would encourage my practice, because it's like jamming with another

[@walther9161]

Mine doesn’t flow seamlessly it always has a gap.. been trying to get it timed but it still won’t go… sending it back

[@toneluc57]

A few years ago I sold the guitars I had due to my health. (Kidney transplant) Three years later I miss playing guitar and seeing this wonderful product has made me want to play. I recently bought a Jackson Dinky JS22 and would love to play along with the lokato looper. I’m 72 and would love having one. Your description and demonstration was great. Thank you.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thank you! And glad to hear you are starting to play guitar again 🤘🤘

[@jamesgraston7446]

Scott what a great video, I'm 68 years old and this just looks like pure fun. Keep up the the good work. Jim

[@rafaelavila8753]

Beginner here. I just bought one of these. Lots of fun! Amazing features for such a low price.

[@yangoo88]

This little looper/tuner would go great with my “no ragrets” minimalist pedalboard of just a tube screamer mini (so far). Thanks for the review info!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Haha nice! Team minimalism 🤘

[@mikemakuch2824]

I just purchased this looper. I'm just getting back into playing, I'm 75 and it is going to be easier with a little back up. I began playing when I was 9 tears old. I do keyboard, lead, rhythm, pedal steel. Great video.

[@AndySalinger33]

Good demo mate. Logical explanation. Cheers!

[@larrycollins8223]

Hey Scott, hope you’re having a great day. We really do appreciate the videos that you make for us. I purchased quite a few of your recommendations and have not been disappointed! Thanks again have a great week.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks Larry! I appreciate that 😊 Glad to hear the products have helped you out 🤘

[@Antonio_Ortiz]

Just got mine from Amazon (with Tuner) for $33 Dollars. Totally worth it for both, and it's very helpful in learning how to solo. Great tutorial.

[@kevinsetbingo]

Looks like a great pedal for an acoustic board. Would definitely use this for my solo shows!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Absolutely would be great for that!

[@cedarsmokesurvival]

Wow. Great video! I bought one of these a while ago for practice, but I got frustrated because I didn’t think you could switch and sync loops to go back-and-forth between verse and chorus… your video showed me that you can! Thanks.

Great review of a very economical looper. I'm curious if the narrow body caused it to want to roll while trying to press and hold for 3 seconds? Love the led light feature to show the active loop. Thanks for the review!

No, it didn’t. And especially if it was velcro down to a pedalboard, I wouldn’t worry about that happening 👍

Hey Scott. Not much of a looper fan but wanted to let you know that based on your recommendations I recently purchased the Phenyx Pro PTM-11 IEM system and the CCA C12 ear buds. Haven't used them yet with my classic rock band but from messing around with them at home I'm VERY impressed with the quality of the sound, construction, and ease of use for the money. I also purchased that Mooer P1 effects pedal with the wireless footswitch and plan on using that with an acoustic country trio I also work with that will allow me to play some electric guitar as well without the need to lug around an amp. Great recommendations. Keep 'em coming!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Awesome! All 3 of those are excellent decisions! Glad they are working out well for you 🤘🤘

[@cycobern]

Wow! Super cool! I do recommend this pedal. I own one (not this version) and is very cool so I guess I need to upgrade mine. 🙏 Keep it up Scott and thanks

Good Video! Sorry, Using the USB cable for power supply will cause continuous ticking noise? Thanks

[@alegoweeld]

with a power bank?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I don’t believe it will

[@tokyosan1]

Cool pedal, even more considering the price! Question: once recorded, are the loop stored in the pedal even when it's disconnected from the power source? I would use it to store a couple of intro-samples to play live with my band. Thanks!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I believe so, but I cannot remember. It’s been a while since I did this review

[@Snimbudio]

Thanks for the vid! 2 Qs: how is it with bass guitar? How is the audio quality? Any degraded tone with long loops?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I haven’t used it with bass, but it sounds great with guitar!

[@emersontanakamotion]

Another great video! the only problem I see is the small size button to change the loops...other than that it is a great product!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Yeah that’s the toughest part, but you can do it for sure… or get that external pedal 😊

[@emersontanakamotion]

@@ScottUhlMusic I saw some other looping options from the same vendor where the button is even worse placed in the middle between the display...this version is better I think...but for the price really worth it...

[@Alex_Martz]

I bought one of these and returned it, It records the "click" of the switch every time you press it, after a few overdubs you get a lot of annoying background clicks that ruin the loop, it has very cheap non isolated electronics inside, it is NOT true Bypass either as advertised!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I did not have that problem with mine

[@Alex_Martz]

@@ScottUhlMusic I bought it on Aliexpress, I think it was a counterfeit as there are many different sellers offering the same pedal, mine looked the same but instead of the logo saying "loop station" says "loop stage"

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thank you!

[@williamburrows6006]

Hey Scott , this is a very informative post. I’m thinking about purchasing one of these loopers, but since it has a built in tuner, I’m wondering if it will be as effective as a tuner when placed at the end of the pedalboard where a looper is recommended to be placed. I currently have my tuner pedal first on my pedalboard, as recommended. Any thoughts? Thanks🤘

[@ScottUhlMusic]

A looper can be at the beginning or the end, depending on what you want to accomplish, but looping at the end usually makes the most sense. It would be fine at the end, just don’t have any pitch based effects enabled when you try to tune 👍

[@phr3dd]

Great video thanks. I have a question about powering it via USB, I am guessing you plugged the USB into a wall plug? Have you by chance ever tried it with a battery power bank?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I haven’t, but I believe that will work 👍

[@rockman49er]

I got this and a beat buddy mini and a few other pedals im just not sure where to put the lekketo at the end or the beginning probably not going to use the tunner

[@ScottUhlMusic]

It depends on what works best for your setup 👍 there’s no “right” answer with signal chain flow

[@danfrankum6233]

Hi Scott, purchased one of these after watching this video. Where do I place it in the chain & where do I input & output it? I just want to loop various effects in chain while building it. Thanks.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Usually I put the looper at the end of the chain, but if you want to add delays and reverb to the looped signal AFTER the looping, you can add delay/reverb/etc after the looper.

[@drewlsy]

When you record different loops from 1 to 2 to 3, can you record loops on top of those too? Hence it would double up or even triple up. OR, are you only allowed to "jam" over the three set of loops after you record them once. Whereas, when you record only one loop or phrase, you can record as many loops on top of that as you want?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

You can build on top of the 3 as much as you want, but there are only 3 banks/loops

[@srsherman7]

I read a lot of reviews that mention a hum/buzz.. anyone here experience that? I'm thinking of getting one but I don't want to battle bad grounding...

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I didn’t have any, but that’s part of the risk of buying super cheap

[@Denys-zp6ff]

If to compare with Ditto, how is Lekato?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I haven’t used the Ditto

[@steventhomas231]

This looks great. What is the difference between this and the other version of this that has the two buttons to access the tuner?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

There is another version of this pedal? If it had two buttons that makes it less compact but easier to use, so that’s probably up to you to decide which is more valuable 👍

[@saintjabroni]

I believe there are technically 3 different Lekato loopers. What sucks is this particular version has the Sync feature but only has 3 banks, while another Lekato looper version has 9 banks without the Sync feature. Both of these versions I speak of have the LCD/tuner aspect. The 3rd version is more plain looking with no LCD/tuner (not investigating it further). I *hope* both this version demoed and the 9-bank version (non-Sync) have the same playback sound quality, as in verifiably to the human ear, not just on paper. This video demo demonstrated what sounded like better quality (on par with the live guitar tracking the loop) than other video demos going over the 9-bank version. I will pull the trigger on the 9-bank version and report back. EDIT: The 9-bank version HAS a hidden Sync feature(!!!!!).

[@jakespeed9419]

I got the one that can save up to 9 loops, I want to learn what it can do with the computer

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Nice!

[@korosuchimu1479]

Can you switch between microphones and guitar?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

This only has one input, so you would need a mixer or a/b switch
