LEKATO Multi Effects Pedal for Acoustic Guitar, with IR Loading 9 AMP Models, Acoustic Multi Effects Processor, Bluetooth 5.0,Recording, Built-in Battery

Works great right out of the box was ready to go. Sounds really sweet. Great for plugging my Acoustic Electric right in and tune it up and hit button 3 for a pretty dry signal 1 for a little more color and 2 for a smooth chorus and delay. No feedback of any kind due to the feedback killer

Somehow I missed that this unit has an internal rechargeable battery. It takes 2 hours to charge and they claim it will last 6 hours on the full charge - I haven't tested that but I've had it working for a good 3 hours so far. I like not needing to plug into the AC. The learning curve took no more than a half an hour. I like that it has no menus - just knobs that can be adjusted on the fly in its "live" mode. I know that will come in handy as the custom presets we set up at home rarely sound as good in other rooms and at other volumes. Creating presets is not hard - press the A & B footswitches simultaneously to get into edit mode. You then make your adjustments in 3 categories; IR Cab (amplifier simulation in 9 choices), Modulation in 4 varieties (echo, reverb, chorus, tremolo), and EQ/ Compression / Anti-Feedback. All told, that is effectively more than 3 categories. However, I've identified the 3 categories as they are partitioned to each one of the 3 footswitches when you are in edit mode. Once you've edited your desired preset, you decide whether you want it assigned to footswitch A, B or C. To assign your preset to footswitch "B", for example, hold down the B footswitch until you see its LED flash. You do this while you are still in edit mode. Then to get out of edit mode, press footswitches B & C simultaneously - you are now in preset mode. If you now press the B footswitch, it will bring up your preset. The unit will save 3 presets - one for each of the 3 footswitches. I like the choice of cabinets, I'm able to find 3 or 4 that I like when plugging into a full-range PA. The EQ is quite useful though limited to bass-mid-treble and the knobs light up in a way that makes the setting indicator difficult to see. It's still quite nice, particularly if you're using a passive pickup in your guitar - without it's own preamp and EQ. The mod knob adjusted counterclockwise from 12:00 is suppose to be chorus. It sounds more like a phaser to me. Clockwise from 12:00 it provides tremolo which doesn't have any extremes in terms of speed or depth. I'd say its range is useful but I've never had occasion to apply tremolo to an acoustic guitar. I have had occasion to use reverb and/or echo on acoustic guitar. Fortunately, this unit has 2-knob adjustment for those effects. The space knob gives depth of reverb and echo, left and right of 12:00 respectively. The time knob adjusts the length of reverb and speed of echo - you won't be able to use echo and reverb simultaneously. The number of repeats is also not separately adjustable. If you don't want to hear many repeats, you'll have to adjust the depth of echo to the lesser by turning the space knob closer to 12:00. All this is to say that the Lekato Cube Baby has significant limitations in it's effects but it is an inexpensive way to get the most useful effects for acoustic guitars.

Plug‑and‑play. Presets sound great out of the box, tuner is accurate, and the effects are musical. The IR loading really lifts the tone—warm, natural, and clear. Great value.

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

just what i needed to liven up my electric/acoustic. great price. great sounds. perfect for church music.

While it seemed to be well built and sturdy enough, I found the sound quality to be poor. The reverb/delay colored the sound of my guitar to the point of making it sound like a toy, and the other effects were lacking in various ways. I would never gig or record with this. "For the money" it might be something to play around with but for a few bucks more you could get something of better sound quality. I sent mine back.

I purchased this to possibly replace my pedal board for acoustic performances. For the money, how could I go wrong? Bye bye pedal board. I am more than pleased with it. This is the best bang for the buck I believe that I have found! I may get one to replace my electric pedal board.

So I bought this unit (Cube Baby AC for acoustic guitar) in 2024 and proceeded to misplace the owner's manual, which is essential for the learning curve of the basics of this pedal. So it kind of sat in the "pedals I'm not currently using" bin for a good deal. I found the owner's manual again and promptly scanned it into a PDF so I can always find it on my computer. I broke it back out yesterday with intention of flattening out the learning curve a little, loaded some 3Sigma IRs into it, figured out how to go into Live Mode to tweak the sound, and then save it as a preset. Took it to church with my acoustic-electric classical, plugged into the PA, auditioned the IRs I loaded, chose the one that sounded best by itself, tweaked the EQ, added reverb, saved the preset, and it sounded really, really doggone good. Through the PA, it sounded every bit as good as more expensive units to my ear. Now that I know how to use it, this baby is staying in the gig bag when it's not on the charger. It's 100% now my backup pedal board. Under fifty bucks, doesn't need a power supply, and takes up practically no room in the gig bag - it's a keeper. I'm going to give it four stars. I didn't like what the compressor did to the sound of this particular guitar, and the reverb could be more lush and spacious, but like the other effects (delay, chorus, tremolo) falls into the "good enough but could be better" category. However the EQ is very effective and having anti-feedback control on a unit this small and inexpensive is a great bonus.

No hace mucho cambio

I wanted this for my ukulele to give me more sounds but it is far too small to be of any practical use. I returned it.
