LEKATO Guitar Headphone Amp Multi-functional Guitar Amplifier Combo with 10 Presets,10 Amp Models,10 IR Loading,Tuner, Bluetooth, Multi Effects Delay Reverb Chorus Overdrive, USB Recording

I nice bit of kit. Quite a few sounds for only a few pounds. A little awkward to use and edit sounds but once over that hurdle it is good.With the right adaptor and guitar cable you can feed it through an amplifier.I have a Fender GT40 which also comes with multiple sounds and it is interesting to put an already distorted sound from the Lekato mini amp and put it through one of the preset sounds on the GT40.Quite interesting results.

I bought this for my ukulele - I was looking for some way of plugging into my amp without upsetting all the guitar settings.After about 30 minutes of messing around I found some excellent setups which gave me that sort of sound I was looking for. The only drawback is that the loudest volume setting is not fantasically loud, so still have to alter that on the amp, but thats ok.I did some experimenting on my other guitars.Electric guitars work well, and the range of sound options is very good.Steel string acoustic responds to some setups, but you lose the nature of the acoustic guitar when the gain is turned up. I had a similar response from the uke, so I guess it is piezo pickups that don't get processed as well as the magnetic pickups.And I gave up on my nylon string acoustic - I guess the microphone pickups were just not a suitable source for this device.It's easy to program directly on the device. And there is a pretty good program to setup on the PC. The PC program uses numbers for selection, so you have to remember which number corresponds to a particular choice - it would have been so much easier just to have the effects/amps etc. named.It didn't quite make the 5* because of the lack of volume and the slightly awkward PC program.Overall, this is a really neat device and great value for money. I'm impressed.

Initially seems a bit complicated, the included instructions leave a little to be desired - but check out the YouTube videos, there are some very helpful people out there and the 'complication' soon goes away. Bought due to desire not to disturb others in the household without the need of wires to the practice amp. and headphones, etc. Makes an electric guitar as mobile as an accoustic, no longer tethered to the 'brick'. Works a treat, very versatile, lots of options and great practice aid. It also appears to be very well made, far better than the 'usual' chinese offerings. Really worthwhile purchase, should have done it sooner.

So there are ten presets in total, and each preset has ten modifications (i.e. gain, reverb, etc) that can be tweaked. It's a simple process, and sounds pretty good. Certainly more than what a standard amp (around £50-100 range) would offer. Would be better if you could use bluetooth headphones but alas you need to plug them in. A good buy all the same.

Firstly, what I like is;Next day shipping, pulled the trigger n ordered one, arrived the next morning before 7am, which is a plus.Bluetooth connectivity, it's great being able to pair a device with the unit and play allong to YouTube, spotify etc, real good feature which means you can rock out or follow allong with an instructional video or backing track, ace for learning.Rechargeable. This is a great feature, countless times I've had to search for batteries and cables with my vox unplug, this is usb c (like all my other devices) so always have a lead to charge it even when I'm away.Recording feature, not tried it but I like the idea, maybe getting an idea into your head, you can plug it into the jack of your phone (im still 10 versions back on samsung so I still have a headphone socket).The ability to load your own speaker IR's giving flexability in sound, again yet to do this.10 presets, you can save upto 10 presets to your liking, there is a nice clean sound from the factory, glassy clean, bit of chorus and reverb (think message in a bottle tone)Now onto what I don't like and may cause me to send the unit back.The distortion sounds are awful, I've got something that's just useable, this may change when loading my own IRs, but its deffo a bing negative.Volume control, on my Vox amplug, you can turn your guitar down and it cleans up, like a tube amp, this however doesnt. 10 is face melting lead sound, 8 you can barely hear it, anything lower than 5 is off, which is annoying.Menus, granted putting all this into a small box is going to have a compromise. Some of the menus need you to hold 2 buttons, whilst its plugged into the guitar is so annoying as you need 2 hands.Finally the tuner, just dont bother, it will pick up the high e and b strings reliably across a variation of guitars, but the rest are sketchy at best.I'm really on the fence with this, it packs loads of features and is really convenient, and things that are convenient will make you use them more, thus more playing and getting better.... if you can look past some of the crappy sounds and unrealistic feel, but saying that I spent a good few hours rocking allong to some of my fav songs.

Once you've worked out how to use it, it enables you to Bluetooth your phone so you can listen and play along at the same time!!I'm using it with a bass guitar, which works great!! Well worth the money!!

This was a great little couch playing solution for a while. The sounds are ok until you raid the gain and then the sound quality shows it's limitations.I would have been quite happy with the above at the price point... If the jack assembly hadn't fallen apart after light use. Opening up the unit you see how fragile the assembly is. I was able to make a patch repair with solder and tape but it was impossible to make a permanent repair.So buy this ONLY if you are prepared to sit perfectly still when practicing.The Fender Mustang Micro I bought next proved to be well worth spending £30 more.
