One thing I learnt was that you can record your first loop then hit the button again you don't have to wait for it to go around
Thanks for this demo. The owner's manual with this unit is weak. YOU explained/demoed in just a few minutes what that manual and hours of attempts couldn't achieve. I was ready to sell mine until I stumbled on this. Well done.
Wow, that’s amazing. Thank you so much. I’m really happy it helped😎👍🎸
Weak? Not really.
Absolutely agree. The instruction manual is useless.
Thank you very much, I must say. Until I saw this video I was completely at sea with this looper.
@@jamessavery276 wow, very cool! Thanks. I actually just uploaded a video where I used and reviewed it live. Check it out on the channel if you haven’t already. I appreciate you watching, commenting and your support! Hope you consider subscribing😎🎸👍
Great video! They sent me the pedal, now it’s my turn to make a demo👍🏼
Awesome! Reply with the link once you do, I’d love to check it out 😎👍
Very helpful thankyou
The comment is much appreciated, thanks!
Agradezco el vídeo, me encantó nuevo suscriptor 👏🏼👏🏼
thanks for this review. When you play the recording, do you hear the click of the start and stop button?
Nope, I don’t. Thanks for watching and commenting!😎🎸👍
Nice review, thanks!
Thank you!👍
Nice demo, just wanna know if this lekato could loop and record some drum machine from another guitar pedal, thanks and waiting for your kind response.
Interesting, I’m not sure. I would assume so. It should record anything input into it. Thanks so much for watching! I hope you subscribe for more videos etc.
@@the_guitar_generation thanks heaps!
Hello there from Scotland, hope you're well! I am going to buy one of these today! One thing I'd like to understand: can I record loops of different lengths? For example, can I loop 5 seconds of percussion (tapping my guitar) and then a 30 second chord sequence? Great video!
I’m not sure, never tried that.
Cool I’m getting one 👍🏾
Just got mine the other day and I like it! Too bad the tuner is hard to access on the fly.
I agree about the tuner
Is it worth $46? I'm just looking for a backup that doesn't have a delay between loops
I get that he is trying to get a good shot but its much easier to use your foot then your finger
Totally much easier to use my foot!!! 🥴😎❤️🎸
Thank you
Hello, about the layers/overdubs recorded on top of the first recording, the duration of the next recordings must be the same as the first one? Does the pedal not allow the next layers to have their recording duration time free?
The length is determined by your first layer and that loops as you create layer on top of the original loop (if you choose to). Same as every other looping pedal on the market. Start with your longest “part” as your first layer and build from there. Hope that helps.😁👍
After recording 1 track and one overdub and tapping twice to stop.
What do you do to record a second overdub on the same track?
I am being cautious and trying not to delete anything I've already recorded.
Did you figure this out too?
does it have quantize, adjust the loop time, or do you have to be precise when pressing the button?
does it have quantize NO.... adjust the loop time NO.... or do you have to be precise when pressing the button? YES.... but practise makes perfect!!
Hey brother thnx for the demo very much appreciated. My guitar instructor has me working with a looper so I got this one and actually really like it. This may be a dumb question but because we plug the guitar into the looper and then plug the looper into the amp is there any way to work with the looper to where the loop that you laid down as a backing track stays clean while you play using distortion or effects on the guitar? Sometimes if I have a loop going I so want to play some more distorted/effects type lead stuff but the loop track also gets distorted when I click on distortion which sounds terrible. Thanks for any insight I really appreciate it. Also because of the way everything is plugged in and connected it looks like the looper must always be plugged in and turned on anytime we wanna just jump on and play even if we don't wanna do any looping yeah? Thnx
Thanks for watching and for the comment. I hope you find some of my other videos helpful as well. You can play a clean loop and have an overdrive or distortion pedal on (before the loop in the chain) and that would affect your guitar but not the loop.
@@the_guitar_generation Oh yeah for sure after checking out your list of videos I definitely subscribed and look forward to bringing you into the learning journey 👍🏼 okay so basically what I now need to do is add another pedal in the chain ahead of the looper to make what I'm trying to do happen? Any suggestions on some basic kind of a pedal that I should get that's not necessarily crazy expensive? I also wanna mention that I practice with a Spark amp from Positive Grid (LOVE this thing!!) and because there's an app that goes with it that gives you all these virtual pedals that probably wouldn't matter in this instance as whatever pedal I use on the app is still gonna come in behind the looper in the chain yeah? Thanks for taking the time very much appreciated I just really wanna get this nailed down thnx.
@@RealThunderberg great! Yes that’s correct. Anything used after the loop (including in the amp) will affect the loop tone. Grab something simple like a good overdrive. Fulltone ocd or full drive are nice and not too expensive. Just take a trip to a local store and plug a few drive pedals in to see what suits your taste.
@@the_guitar_generation EXCELLENT will do brother thanks! Stay blessed
It sucks that the only way to turn it off is to unplug it. Also, if you don't play through you get a lapse between your playing and the loop. I'm finding it somewhat frustrating. How do you turn the damn thing off without unplugging it? Won't last long if it needs to be unplugged after each session.
I agree...that's a pretty dumb design flaw!
Yup, strange no on/off switch. Spent 20mins or so figuring - duh!
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!
Yikes! Mine doesn’t do that (thankfully). Sorry you had that experience. I still use this more than my ditto just for the screen etc.
@@the_guitar_generation Yes, the screen is lovely but mine was faulty, I think it was a counterfeit as there are many people selling the same pedal on Aliexpress
@@Alex_Martz that’s brutal! Hate scammers. They have a wireless system that I was thinking of checking out (with low expectations), but you never know. LoL
Hi,
For live music this pedal is useless. it has a big flaw. and it is that by keeping the button pressed to delete the recorded loop, it is activated several seconds before being deleted!
Can someone tell me how do I put the loop’s to play all together? I can’t grave 2 loop playing
Hmm not sure what you mean by “put the loops to play together”. Maybe you mean stacking parts? You can do that by tapping after you’ve tracked the first part to stack another part on top. I hope that helps 👍
I have two of these and they're great for a beginner. But I have a question. does anyone know?? If you hold both buttons down ya get the tuner, but if you press and hold one button down , a mysterious led appears on the display. No mention of this in the Instructions or any TH-cam reviews of this looper. Unsure what this is, anyone else notice this?
curious too. if anyone has the answer please like this comment
I figured it out. It is a feature that allows the recording to start only after you start playing.
hmm not sure, seems someone else replied with a possible answer, hey, it was you! LoL thanks for the follow up!
Is it True Bypass?
Well, I bought it and I can now answer my own questions...it is NOT True Bypass 😔
no sorry, that's correct. but true bypass isn't such a pig deal as you learn when looking at buffers and length of cables etc
where do you plug the power cable to?
Not sure what you mean. There’s the power jack in the pedal and that plugs into the wall through a standard pedal power adapter from boss or any other you can find
I am stuck. I recorded 2 tracks on loop 1 then I tried to delete the 2nd track by holding down and both tracks were deleted. What happened?
Not sure, maybe you held it down for an extended period? It hasn’t happened to me before
When you play back the recording (blue lights moving around tuner) Hold down button.
When you want to clear both tracks, Tap the button 2x to stop the playback holding down the second tap.
@@jamesofalo6247 Thank you so much, I've noticed your previous comments on other Lekato Looper Demos concerning the Deleting. I even left a reply then promptly realised I was not sure sbout Deleting 1 Loop and All Loops. Great that you've figured it out and shared. Cheers!
Looks like you got a faulty display, at least 2 LEDs are not lighting up
No man, It's ok, the lights are covered by the buttons...
Hello. Can't find the difference between lekato auto loop and lekato loop station. Any idea?
hmmm not sure?
I just got it .. question ... does it always stay on ?
Yes, unless you pull the power
I bought this through Amazon and ordered the power supply which wasn't available. What type/brand/model 9v power supply are you using. The one I have hums like a bitch.
Standard boss 9v style seems to work fine for me
nice!
Thanks👍
i have a question no video on this looper seems to answering. if I record on loop 1 and something else on loop 2, can i play both in sync? adding and removing whatever i want when i want. or does it simply start a new loop that can't be mixed with the others?
Each channel is separate. To record over your loop on any particular channel, you just layer another loop on top… as many as you like.
How do you turn it off?
Just a quick double click will stop the loop playback. Thanks for checking out the video!
@@the_guitar_generation i was talking about the pedal actually!
@@MantisCrawl LoL. gotcha. You unplug from the power. That's basically it.
@@the_guitar_generation lmao
how do i control the tempo/set tempo
There is no tempo in the pedal. You loop your rhythm at whatever tempo you’re playing at. In other words, your playing determines the tie/speed. Then the overdubs all fall into the time of that original loop/guide track.
Looks like the Cuvave looper
I’m not familiar with that one. I’ll have to look into it.
Does it work OK with distortion?
Yup
Have a question how can you loop a clean track then overdub in distortion without the clean track being distorted
Only the second overdub would be distorted. It wouldn’t affect the original loop track
Your distortion would need to be in front of the looper then the clean loop will remain so
Dude, make sure the looper pedal is the first pedal going into the amp, with all others daisy chained behind it. Otherwise you’ll just double the effects of everything you play and it won’t sound very good.
Beware. Lekato has awful customer service. If your pedal is faulty, like mine, they are impossible to get a hold of. Every contact provided is a black hole
damn, sorry to hear this, I have't had that experience
Much easier with your foot controlling the looper button
Definitely!!🤪
You pull out a kitchen knife to cut the bag open 🤣
LoL damn right! This is real life😂😂😂🎸🎸
Are you Fing kidding me? There is nothing COOL about tuning.
your video is 11 minute long and you spent the first 4 minutes shooting gas, get to the point youtubers
Worst company, customer service is terrible
Damn, sorry to hear that.
Hi,

Interesting observation. I’ll have to check it out and see how it responds in a more live type of setting.
No, apparently there's a solution for this. You need to double-tap the foot switch and *then* press & hold. This will prevent the recorded loop from playing for several seconds. I found this out from Lee Townsend's TH-cam video for this pedal (see the comment from @serafingarcia4532).
