LEKATO Multi Effects Guitar Pedal, Guitar Effects Pedal with 36 Presets, Editable 4 Modules, Amp, Chorus, Delay, Reverb, IR CAB, Tuner, BT Connection, Music Recording

Ok as you folks know who look into these tank-g devices is to put a small pad on the battery because if someone big uses the push pedals with their weight, it could puncture the batteries and cause a fire. Surprise, upon opening this device, it already had a nicely thick foam pad on the battery and you can feel the indentations the solder points push into the foam, so that's great that it's protected. The black anodized metal looks quality, the knobs and switches light up and looks pretty fancy for a cheap pedal. The effects and quality are plenty good for anyone learning guitar, i bought one for myself and my nephew. I'm not going over the effects as there are many videos on it, but the 4 buttons and 9 banks of effects so 36 total. The 36 preset effects are customizable. It's easy to change banks, press the two left foot switches to go down a bank and press the two right foot switch to go up a bank. The digital number will go up and down based on the bank you're on. Then you just select one of the 4 switches for a specific effect in that bank. If you hold down the two center switches it will go into preset change mode or holding them down will put it in tuner mode. The cool thing is you can connect this to an audio interface via xlr cable, headphones with mini jack, of course amp out jack and a another mini jack that says audio out to say record on a phone, but you can connect it to anything that records via a mini to whatever like rca or other interface like if you have a fosi mini amp connected to some speakers that would work too. But i like the fact that you can practice without bothering anyone via the headphone jack. One thing to note, other tank-g sellers have a firmware upload tool and a few versions of firmware. I noticed Lekato's was showing as version 75. All other tank-g are using a version 53v2 firmware. I tried loading this 53v2 and it loaded and all presets were the same as they were in the v75, so not sure if Lekato just renamed this. You can download the tool that lets you customize the sound files to customize the sounds even more to suit what you're looking for in effects. Also there were 8-9 amp models, and 8 cabinets that you can select to mimic a specific amp/cab combination. For the price, i think it's a great value and has even if awkward a tad, a built in tuner so you dont have to go digging for your tuner it's all there. All this thing needs is a looper and it would have been perfect.

This thing is great. I tried a Vox StompLab and a Zoom. Gotta be a sound engineer to work with them. Tried a POD express. Didn't work out for me at all, I even called the manufacturer, they said it was primarily for rockers. I play jazz. I'm sure all of those items are fine for the right person. Hundreds of effects and decisions. Ah, But the Tank B only has reverb, delay, chorus, phaser, and detune. I understand that stuff! Worked great right out of the box. My only complaint is about the poor manual (I've seen worse!). I had to have some smart AI write a couple of manuals for me. This device is simple to operate. Well worth the $$, Highly recommended.

Pros:Battery lasts a good 10-12 hours.XLR output direct to sound system.36 savable presets (use factory ones as starters)Built in tunerEasy to see buttons and screen on dark stageLightweightMetal housingGreat practice toolBluetoothCons:Some effects are not greatVolume, master volume, gain settings a bit clunky (can get a lot of noise)Impossible to see knobs and settings in darker stage/roomNot the most intuitive way to setup and save patches (watching videos help)Should come with a storage bag/sleeve.Doesn’t react/clean up to guitar volume very wellYou’ll need a good sound person to dial it in as eq is not great.App software didn’t work on my iPhone nor iPadBeen playing a long time and play every weekend in a cover band in all kinds of gigs and currently use quad cortex. I had always worried what I would do live if my main pedal died or had issues. I carried a real amp with me but that takes up space plus I didn’t have effects.Watched ton of videos about this unit and gave it a try. I am very impressed for the money! Does it sound as good as the cortex? Not even close and ability to work this pedal through 50+ different type songs is not as flexible.BUT, for a backup it really punches above its weight class! Fairly easy to figure out (suggest watching videos online vs the manual). Easy to put in a back pack and go.I setup patch 1 with 1A being clean tone with 1B being same tone but at a louder volume (for leads). 1C and 1D the same except a good distortion tone. It has some weird volume issues on some effects but overall not bad. I saw some complaints about latency between patches, but I didn’t really hear that.For price paid, well worth it! Just don’t buy into this is somehow a $1500 pedal replacement…it is not, no matter what some videos have you believe.

Solid build, sounds pretty good and easy to use. I think this might be one the best deals for a multifx unit that’s able to direct to mixer or through the fx return on an amp. The onboard IR are decent but swap them for some Ownhammer and you’ve got a great sounding unit. The reverb is probably the weakest link but it’s good enough for a live situation. It will meet most “reasonable” expectations and is well worth the money. At $68 (on sale) it’s a steal. And the fact that you can throw it in a gig bag, run it on batteries and save presets…. Makes it a good choice for a back up or even main unit if you’re a gigging musician.

This thing is too cool. It runs off a rechargeable battery for hours. Im not too happy with the Reverb sound on it but al the other effects sound great

This pedal is what every bass player needs in his tool box..great price too.
