LEKATO Multi Effects Guitar Pedal, with IR Loading 9 AMP Models, Delay Reverb Distortion Overdrive Pedal, Rechargable Electric Guitar Effects Multi Pedal Support Recording,Bluetooth 5.0

So far I really like this pedal. It’s nothing fancy, but it does what I need and is fun. As others have said, read the manual, it’s not long but there are a lot of features and it can get confusing until you figure it out. I bought this for a unique purpose. I have a pedal board for my guitar and have it set up the way I like for indoor playing. This was not for that. It was for portable playing. I enjoy playing on the porch now and then and I have a very cool little cigar box amplifier with a 3” speaker that I use to plink around outside. I was looking for a multi-effect pedal that was not too expensive that would get me from options from overdrive to distortion with some chorus/ reverb without having to lug a bunch of pedals around or a big, high dollar multi-effect unit. This works awesome. I have to be careful on volume because it doesn’t take much to crackle the 3” speaker. But for the purpose, it is awesome and works better than I imagined. I knew I wouldn’t be able to make all tones work with the speaker (some are too much for the speaker, but that is no fault of the pedal) but this pedal gives you tons of options and adjustment. Controls are logical once you figure them out (doesn’t take long). Very fun, wanted a cheap option that was very portable. I grab my guitar, cigar box amp, cables and put this unit in my pocket. Done. Also like visuals with colors to reinforce which knobs go with which functions/buttons. Neat unit.

On my list of things to get, since wife says no more guitars.. lol. So I preform on small stages, as in like 4 feet deep, and a with a full compliment of other instruments i.e. full drum set, two guitarists two vocals, keys, etc. It leaves very little room for a whole pedal board setup with the things this little beast has. I've used it with both an electric guitar as well as an electric bass. Little tweaks in the live setting to get a decent sound for the bass as this wasn't setup for the lower frequency of the bass. None the less, after the tweaks, it sound good. The two stages don't have much room for amps so this is perfect. Key take aways, presets are great buy may not be what your looking for in a specific setting. So go with the live setting and adjust from there. Be aware with the "amp" (tone) know, once you get past the clean channels, it gets very loud quickly. Others are, pay attention when swapping through the a, b, c, foot switches during a set, if you hit two of them just right, it will knock you out of live mode and back into preset modes. Additionally, if you've not pressed any foot switch for a little while (about 20 mins) it will automatically revert back to the presets and just a simple stopping on the b, c, switches brings you right back to the live mode.So recap, portable, sturdy, rechargeable, lightweight, great for small stage setups where you can go into a D.I. box, love how you can "home" jam anywhere with the headphone an tablet/phone/computer interface and jam alone, IR settings are Adjustable through software that's free and readily available.Overall, excellent work. May get one specific for a bass, but this little thing is doing the job nicely for now.UPDATE: 12.12.2023Ok, so going over questions from others, and thinking it over, I tried and idea. Some users don't have the ability for a 3.5mm headphone jack to use as in input/output. They thought about this when they engineered it. The Bluetooth function can be used for playing tracks. Meaning, since up the cube baby to phone/tablet Bluetooth, connect the 1/4" output to the amp of ur choice, on ur phone/tablet select what you want to play, (YouTube backing tracks etc.)My set up is: cube baby (guitar) synced via Bluetooth for playing backing track output (1/4" instrument cord) to amp, along with cube baby (bass) 1/4" cord out from bass guitar into cube baby (bass) and out of cube baby into amp and able to adjust accordingly. Thought I had to 3.5mm out of laptop/phone/tablet via USB cord into cube baby then out to amp. It will work that way, but the Bluetooth option means I'm not restricted by way shorter 3.5mm cords.

This is a review for the acoustic version of the cube baby IR pedal.First things first, latency. I measured this at 11 milliseconds. Just enough to feel a little laggy to me, but not a deal breaker given the approximately $40 price I paid. There was no measured difference between having the IR loaded or not. Actually, there was no difference in latency regardless of bypassing any of the effects modules.Bluetooth- while this is a mono pedal, the Bluetooth is stereo through the headphone jack. Getting the balance between Bluetooth audio and guitar level is tricky given BT level is governed entirely by the BT playback device.NB: The tuner renders Bluetooth useless. The combination of playing out a BT stream and running the tuner seems too much for the wee brain in this box; Bluetooth audio glitches like mad when the tuner is engaged and guitar signal is present.USB sound card: wow! It has one! I played around with this for a little while with Reaper and ASIO4ALL, and it does work. It is a USB class compliant device, so no drivers are necessary, but audio quality is limited to 16-bit. It is mono in, stereo out, so conceivably one could try to use USB for backing tracks. In the Cuvave software, there is a checkbox for USB loop back, and you absolutely want that turned off, otherwise any overdubs you do with this also record the playback audio.IR loading: does require the cube suite application. I was able to install this on one Windows 8 laptop, but not a second one. The software does make system calls to some Windows components that may or may not be correctly installed on a given system. I was able to load IRs I had generated for the Sonicake IR pedal with a spec of 44.1KHz/24bit/1024 samples, and they work just fine. Note the Distance parameter in cube suite is a volume control for the impulse response. If you have it at 100%, it actually mutes the IR, if you have it at zero, it gives you full volume on the IR.EQ / comp / anti-feedback- The anti-feedback seems to be a progressive high-pass filter, eliminating low frequency feedback. It works okay. The EQ is very basic, the mid-range is higher than I would like it, the bass also goes higher than I would like it, so dialing out 400 to 600 Hz muck is trickier than it should be. I ended up needing to re-record IRs to compensate. To be fair, I was using fairly mid-rangey IRs at first. COMP: it's ok at low settings. Noisy and kinda weird at higher settings. It does have gain compensation so it does boost volume.Mod/Space- modulation can either be a chorus or tremolo. I love tremolo so I appreciate that. The chorus is fairly subtle at low positions and overwhelming at high positions. Space can be either a delay or reverb. The delay sounds decent, with control over time and level, not feedback. Feedback is fixed around three or four repeats. The reverb sounds cheap and tinny as you would expect, but is usable.Lastly, the output level on this device seems a little bit low. I think it may be running at 5 volts internally, which is just a little too little for a good healthy signal. That said, if you are running into something with sufficient gain, it shouldn't be a problem
