Owner Insights

Features and functionality

  • The Lekato Loop Station's auto-start feature begins recording when you start playing, eliminating the need for perfect foot timing.

    Source
  • The Lekato Loop Station doubles as a tuner, but it requires pressing a button rather than using the footswitch to activate tuning mode.

    Source
  • The looper function is prioritized over the tuner, which is considered secondary and less accessible for quick muting tasks.

    Source

Build quality

  • The volume knob feels flimsy but has held up for over a year according to some users.

    Source
  • The footswitch has been described as having a "squeaky/clicky" sound and feel, particularly noticeable at the end of its travel.

    Source

Software and compatibility

  • Issues reported with USB connectivity, where the device appears empty and loses saved audio upon disconnecting USB despite a 9V power supply connection.

    Source

User experience

  • Some owners have noted audio compression from the pedal, impacting the separation of bass and guitar, though not all find this problematic.

    Source
  • Some users report a brief loop playback during long switch presses when deleting loops, which is unsuitable for live performances.

    Source
  • Owners have used the pedal for over a year without issues related to the footswitch's performance.

    Source

Comparisons

  • Compared to the Boss RC-10R, the Lekato is noted for comparable looping functionality despite being significantly cheaper.

    Source
  • Owners find the Lekato Loop Station's sound quality comparable to the Boss RC5, with near-identical replay fidelity.

    Source
  • Some users prefer the Boss RC-2 looper for its construction, although they acknowledge the Lekato's value for its price.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • The pedal is ideal for portable rigs, particularly when paired with small amps like the NUX Mighty Lite, offering a neat setup for practice.

    Source
  • The pedal is favored for its compactness and dual functionality, making it a space-saving option for minimalistic or travel setups.

A solid cheap looping solution

This brings few more features than the iconic Ditto for around half the price. It feels solid and well made all the same.

It offers 9 channels with the ability to up or download audio tracks and an accurate tuner feature. Pressing two buttons at floor level makes it not easiest tuner to operate so it won't be my first stop for tuning but it's nice to have around when my usual tuner isn't handy.

Since it's my first foray into looping devices I have no direct comparison I can make. All I can say is it fulfils all my expectations and I can't fault it.

Cool pedal

Idk it’s my first pedal and it works well, but feels like it could have more editing possibilities. Example: the loop stops when you press the button, so the timing is almost impossible to be perfect, unless you import a loop, which is a good feature. For less than 200R$ (40 dollars) in Brazil, it delivers very well. I play guitar for fun, so cool pedal 👍

Good starter piece

This was my first experience with a loop pedal. From what I can figure out, it's a good budget starter item to get used to learning the timing of how to use it. I like it, aside from the fact the click of the switch gets picked up VERY clearly. If not for that, I'd give it an easy five stars. Maybe there's some alteration that can be done to make it click less loudly?
