Yeah, I've been playing it for 3 months, and it completely blew my mind as soon as I checked all it's abilities. Wanna play at home? You need guitar, pa-1, and headphones. I'm learning playing guitar for less then year. I do not have enough time to play during the day, so I usually playing when my family sleeps. I started with VOX's brand classic rock, and I would say that THIS sounds way better. It actually resurrected my aspiration to practice more and more. Wanna clean acoustic? Make your own nice profile. Wanna AC/DC style? Pffff. Easy. Offspring? Take it. Metallica? Not another word! Whatever I want to play I can build suitable profile using default IRs. Pro can do it even better with uploaded IR.
Thank you Sergey! That is a great breakdown of your usage and congratulations on joining the world of guitar. It's amazing that something like this can be so affordable and sounds so good. You're exactly right - one could plug straight into it and just let it rip. I'm glad to hear you're getting some enjoyment out of this and I hope you keep on jamming! 🤘😎🤘🔥🔥🔥🎸🎸🎸
Happy New Year Michelle!!!!! Thank you kindly and I hope this new year brings some more of your amazing musicianship and talent. I wish you a fun and prosperous 2022!!!
Melani!!! Happy New Year my talented friend! 🤘🥳🤘 Thank you so much and I do look forward to it. You make some brilliant music - and you definitely have it down to a science! :-)
@@guitarmeetsscience Hehe!! That is cause I have so many stunning music friends who help me with instrumentals I can sing on! I am their instrument :-)) Hugies and thks a lot for kind compliment! Give it to us Baby, lol!! ROCK ON!
I can’t believe how good that thing sounds Jimmy! I will be checking it out for sure! But I think you could make almost anything sound good! Happy new year brother👍
Hey brother thank you so much - I really dig the sound of those little gadgets... They've come quite a long way especially in the fact that we could load impulse responses. Happy New Year Rusty keep on jamming my friend!!!!
Thank you so much - I really appreciate the fact that you caught this video, and that you enjoyed it. It is a great little device. Thanks so much for your kind words I really do appreciate it!
Hey Angela happy 2022! LOL it did fall somewhat into the live stream format :-) that's the easy way to set it up haha. It's amazing how far they've come, and I'm loving the new tech. Have a great rest of your weekend!
Boomer!!!!! Haha Happy New Year brother! Bill got in on the action, and I think it's because that yodeling pickle went off.... So I had to tie in the clip LOL. Hope you're having a rocking one man
Excellently extensive demonstration Jimmy & best 2022 wishes bro! (& I'm in the process of catching up with todays stream & I'm liking what I'm hearing my friend! 🎶💥🎸💥🎶👍👍👍)
Hey brother thank you for checking it out! The price point on this thing really blows my mind for what you get. I hope you're having an awesome 2022!!!!
dude, you should get paid for this highly entertaining and professional review! great video, alone the intro jam was dope (what for a damn beautiful guitar? harley benton?). the price? unbelivable! the sound and options? amazing. totally amazing. when I remember with what for crap gear I started making music. kids nowadays just live in paradise. happy nu year, man!
Hey Wolf!! Happy New Year!!! Thank you kindly my friend I'm glad you enjoyed it. That is definitely a Harley Benton. I really like the build of the fusion 3.... Great pickups, feel, and the tremolo system is pretty wicked. Haha I remember too - this guitar was relatively inexpensive, and for what we used to get for its price now we would pay maybe $50. Hope you have a safe prosperous and jamming New Year my friend!!!
@@wolfunplugged oh yeah they have a lot of stuff. Those wireless units look pretty intriguing as do the straps and I think they may be tied in with Mooer, who are a fantastic company making some of the most cutting edge gear. Definitely some very cool stuff!
@@wolfunplugged oh yeah - perfect for heavy guitars especially like Les Paul's etc. If I get lucky enough to be able to do another review I think it might be on the strap.
Really really great video mate. I've ordered one off Amazon after watching this and it's coming tomorrow - along with a new Ibanez guitar I also bought. Gonna have a great weekend!! Peace brother 🤜🤛
Thank you brother! I'm really glad it helped.... Soundwise it's really only limited by how good the impulse responses are, so with some good IRs, alone it sounds great. I appreciate your kind words, congratulations on picking it up!
@@guitarmeetsscience Cool bro. If I get the time I may come back and post on this thread after the weekend to give my thoughts. It really is amazing that we can pick up something at such a low price these days with so much functionality. When I started playing guitar in the 80's the cheapest thing you could get was a crappy 10w practice amp that, if you include the rate of inflation (obviously), costed at least 5 times as much as this.
Oh exactly - tech has come along so far. Definitely please share your thoughts on it! The interface takes hold of getting used to as does its computer PC counterpart, but in terms of being able to dial in your own sounds by loading IRs, nothing beats it. Plus it's own built-in IRs sound pretty darn good. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it!
@@guitarmeetsscience As soon at it came through the post, I plugged it in and selected the preset that sounded good for what I was playing then away I went. That was as far as I got with using it because I ended up buying a Marshall CODE 50 amp on saturday which I am more interested in now! However, just to plug this thing into a brand new guitar and then jamming away for hours gives it 5 stars from me any day.
Right on. Congratulations on the Marshall! That thing probably sounds pretty wicked. Now it sounds like you're set for gear and that's a great thing! I really appreciate the update and I'm glad you're digging it. Keep on rocking! 🤘🤘
EMP!!! Haha unfortunately it doesn't yodel yet but I'm trying to train it to LOL. Thank you kindly - I'm trying to take more with the phone to get a better video quality than I used to get. It takes a little more work because things have to be rendered more but I think it's worth it. Happy 2022 brother!
Jimmy it's funny when i was younger and in trade school my electronics teacher told me he could make a amp the size of a cigarette package,that would shatter windows and I laughed at him.Silly me and now we have this cool pocket amp,Cheers!
Haha oh man - I have no doubt he can pull that off. I think with some of the new alloys that go into the magnets, one can do that. I have those 200 watt lunch boxes that weigh 9 lb. I brought one to a gig once and was asked to turn down even though we were playing in a 9-piece band LOL. If he comes out with one of those I'd love to check out a copy haha. Cheers bro!
Jimmy, 1st off HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I gotta say this a VERY IMPRESSIVE tutorial of a KOOL device. I went through quite a nightmare a couple years ago when I got my Helix floor unit. I watched endless videos and eventually figured some things out. I found the manual almost useless as I'm fairly illiterate with computers and the like. In the last year or so I found a few guys that are easier to understand. But what I'm getting at is you did a phenomenal job here and if I didn't have the HELIX I'd jump ALL over this and you would make it VERY EASY to use. GREAT JOB dude!!!!
Hey Don - thank you that means so much man! Happy 2022! I hear you when it comes to the learning curve. I got the Moore GE 250 and I'm still discovering new features and stuff that are helpful but hard to figure out. This little gadget, has a bit of quirks but overall it's very easy to operate which drew me to it. Plus loading IRs really is key to being able to shape the sound. You make that Helix Rock!!! Thank you so much man - stay safe and keep rocking!!!
Hey professor David - thank you! I really love the way the fusion 3 plays. I had to do a little setup on it, and it's definitely a lot of bang for the buck. Happy 2022 to you and your brother and the rest of your family!!!!
wow sounds really cool ,this is a great tool and you dont half to blow hundreds of dollars like with others such as head rush especially for those who dont have the kind of $$
Hey Shawn!! Happy 2022 my friend! Thank you for checking it out, and you totally said it right there. Seems the impulse responses really have a huge impact on the sound, and I was really intrigued by the fact that this little unit actually allows you to load them up. I've had the Mooer GE 250 which is my first impulse response capable unit, while that was relatively cheap this little unit is a fraction of that price and definitely competes in terms of sheer guitar tone. I want to incorporate it into my old boss pedal and see how that comes out. Hope your New Year is off to a great start my friend!
Thank you very much! It might actually have a built-in noise gate I'm not sure. Most of my gear is fairly quiet so I tend to try to avoid Gates as much as possible just for Dynamics, but the preamps built into this particular unit are a bit noisy. Lately though I've just been incorporating it with only the impulse responses turned on - it gives a lot more versatility to other pedals, and with it being said cheap it is a great option.
That is So Cool,Happy New Year My Friend,🤣🤣No Clue How that Works but I'll take your Word for it,I'm So Dumb when it Comes to tech Stuff..Have a Rockin Day 🤘🖤🎉🎉
REBEL!!!!! Happy 2022!!🤘 🥳🤘 This tech stuff moves so fast I feel I'm behind on it. Nevertheless, not to worry LOL that's what these tutorials are for I think. Hope you have a rocking and safe New Year!!!!
Hey Brooklyn happy new year! I wish you much success and prosperity in 2022. Thank you for checking it out, I really dig the fact that it's so small and yet packs a powerful punch. Stay safe my friend!
First , your intro and ending jams are way cool !! You made this tuto fun to watch , Does this amp Yodel too ? That's helpfull , of course i'll have to watch it again to get everything , but i think i got it mostly ... 75 percent ; ) like the volume : ) HAPPY NEW YEAR BRO !! : )
Happy New Year Christophe and Pascale!!!!! Sadly the amp does not yodel though I'm working on training it to... So I don't think it's the most distinctive possibilities LOL. 75% is the magic number so far that I found and the software does make it easier to work with though you could set the regular settings via its front face. Of course also with the software is where you can actually load impulse responses and that's the magic of the sound right there. I might actually stream with it today we'll have to see. Oh but that means I need a longer cord....hmmmmmm... Anyhow I hope you two are having an awesome start to your 2022!
Any suggestions on how to use effectively in live gig situation. Seems like a 1/4” out would help with that, otherwise the current outs could be fragile…
You're exactly right - with a large adapter it increases the weight on the jack. However the best thing would be a small cord, with a 1/8 inch plug which goes into the lekato, and the other end having a female quarter inch Jack input. That's the way I set mine up - I soldered my own cord for that so that I could interface it with my other pedals. I like to put mine into the return and send of a bigger multi effects pedal . so that the other pedal only has to worry about effects while the lekato does the heavy lifting of processing the impulse responses.
@@guitarmeetsscience Maybe a 90 degree 1/8” plug would lessen the strain on the output socket. I hate it when these connections lose their integrity, so bloody hard to repair. I’m also the world’s worst when it comes to soldering the fiddly bits. Cheers for the reply.
Hey brother!!! I haven´t been here for a while.... working too much. Let´s see what you´ve been doing.... starting from this one! Looks like an interesting equipment, by the way!!
I paused the frame at 0:39, and noticed the numerical array at the top of the box only goes to 10 - lol, why not 11? But seriously, this looks like a great deal, Jimmy, hard to believe it's less than 50 bucks! You've given me something to think about with this awesome demo! And Happy New Year to you and yours, my friend!
Hey man happy new year! LOL I advise them to take it to at least 11 though I'm thinking at this point we need to start considering a 12 slot. It's pretty amazing what they're doing with these gadgets now and I think the impulse response really changes the game. I got a $500 box that loads 10 of them, and along comes as $50 gadget that really does the same thing. Granted it doesn't have compression stereo delay etc but still at a tenth of the price it sound quality rivals much more expensive ones. Thanks for checking out the demo and I hope you have a safe and rocking 2022 my friend!!;
Hey my friend - happy New Year to you and your family! Haha yes it is a tiny small but mighty gadget. I'm really liking the sound and feel. Thank you so much for checking it out, stay safe and have fun my friend!!!!
Hello Robert, thank you so much and it's great to meet you. The software is actually free - in the video I followed the link to lekatodeal dot com. The software is pretty easy to use but it does have some quirks which I explained in the video hopefully the explanation helps. If you have any questions however feel free to ask anytime. Welcome to the family!
Thank you kindly I appreciate it. I'm sorry to hear that Harley Benton's are too expensive to ship where You are. Here in the states they're relatively cheap. I like the Glarry models - they seem to be getting better and better. They require a bit of tweaking to be made fully playable in terms of setting up, but they're not bad.
It can happen, but I believe that's just due to the setting of the preset. The volumes of the presets themselves vary. But they can be tweaked, and you could go in and adjust the volume individually and then store that preset.
@MustangDesudiroz right on! I figured it was something like that. It's a great little device....I still use it like crazy for jamming with backing tracks. Glad it works for you 🤘🤘
@@guitarmeetsscience i use my laptop for backing tracks with a separate spekaer. lots of fun and a game changer. it really sounds like i have 5 pedals. def il post my review and vid soon too i think it'll benefit more with a better bigger speaker. i nly use a $3 speaker lol
It's a pretty simple design in terms of interfacing - I don't really know if it would work with wireless earbuds. On the instructions it says to use wired earphones. Even if there was a way to interface the wireless earphones digitally you would experience latency - which is not good when you're playing so generally a good wired pair of earbuds would be the best for it.
WHAT??? WHOA!!! That is tiny and yet HUGE! How super cool! Shit it can't yodel... deal breaker, almost! Great video Jimmy and a great product review. I love the idea of this handy little tool! I might actually pick one of these babies up! Happy rocking new year to you brother. Stay crazy... I mean stay metal! 🤘😎🤘 damn... it is already sitting in my Amazon cart. You actually got me exited about this little baby! I own a Helix Floor and love it, but it doesn't fit in my pocket and it is a little heavy when I have it hanging on a belt clip ;) I got a ton of amp sims in my iPhone but I would still need an interface to make it work. So this is actually one of the best compact solutions that even support IR that I can think of. Have you run into any other product that can do the same as this in such a compact size, or is this the only thing out there at the moment?
Hey Ed!!! Happy New Year man! LOL -yeah I was hoping it would yodel, but luckily The yodeling pickle is small enough I could carry it anywhere LMAO. Right on I'm glad you picked this up. It's very handy, and it doesn't take long for it to be intuitive. I really don't know of anything this small that can pull off the feat of storing 10 IRs ... At this price especially. I'm actually thinking about putting it into the effects loop of the old boss gt8 which has great effects. Something is small it is pretty flexible. Thank you so much and I look forward to hearing your impressions on it. Happy New Year brother!
@@guitarmeetsscience that is an awesome idea about the GT8. I actually still have a GT8 sitting on my large pedalboard as well. Allowing it to use cab IRs would really make those amp models sound even better i imagine. I still use the GT8 every now and then. It might be an old processor but i think it still has some great sounding capabilities. The only thing that is the limiting factor is that i use stereo out from the GT8 into my mixer and the PA-1 only has one mono in. Can’t be made stereo with two PA-1’s, one for each channel and i even imagine using two IRs that way to make it sound as two different amps in stereo. But i won’t go that far. That’s where for me the Helix would come into the picture again. But it is definitely a possibility and since they are this affordable it could offer many cool posibilities for people on a budget too i imagine. Funny thing is that i saw almost the identical product as the Lekato sold under the brandname Donner. Same price same features. Those sneaky Chinese hahah 😉 Yes i think i am going to test out a PA-1. This little guy can bring a lot new ideas to the table. Thanks for sharing this video Jimmy, really awesome tip for a cool new product 👍👍
@@EdBMetal oh yeah those boss gt8s are great. Nuno Bettencourt still uses one to this day, because the effects are quite awesome in it and it's built like a tank. The send and returns are mono as it is, so generally the amp unit would be treated as a mono source. Usually for rhythms I double track or more per side, so I'm usually changing impulse responses around and things like that. For lead work - it's always a single amp for a very focused sound so having that mono amp as an engine with the effects loop set before stereo reverbs and delays really brings the best of both worlds. Granted I do like the ability to use different IRS at the same time but I generally don't do that live anyways because the sound loses its focus. LOL yeah I can see probably the same manufacturers slapping different names on their products. It may be a wise move I'm not sure. I guess whichever one works the most is the one they'll be going for 🤘🤣🤘
@@guitarmeetsscience i am an idiot... you did mention the effects loop, and i completely didn’t realize that it actually had a loop. I have never used it since i got it. Duh! Forgot it was even there. You are completely right! Putting the mono IR in the loop makes perfect sense and imstill can output stereo from the main with the IR sitting perfectly where it belongs. Man you got me excited for this cool ini amp. I didn’t even realize Nuno is still using one. That does show how great these bad boys are. I will keep using that GT8 till it dies. Even with the Helix in my possession I still like using that GT8. This little IR loader will blow complete new live into the GT8 again. You rock brother! Love discussing these options with you 👊 have a fantastic weekend brother. Will catch your stream very soon again 🤘
No worries.... That's a very good question. If you do a Google search for something like "free guitar impulse responses" you'll find a ton of sites with them for free download. You simply unzip them, and then load them via the software into the unit. I found a lot of free ones on UA-cam as well, searching for the same thing. Thanks for asking!
Привет, Jimmy! С Новым годом! Счастья, удачи, здоровья, благополучия, творческих успехов тебе, твоим родным и близким! Год только начался, а ты уже на "боевом посту"!) В своей чудесной комнате и рекламируешь новую интересную "штучку")) Звучание классное! Значит вскоре мы услышим еще более крутые звуки и игру! Удачи тебе, мой друг!
Hey Gennady!!!! Thank you kindly my friend - and I really hope your New Year is off to a fantastic start. I'm grateful they gave me the opportunity to show off the little gadget and I'm hoping I did them some justice. Wishing you all the best in prosperity health and joy in 2022!!!
LMAO unfortunately brother man it does not yodel.... And that's what I was hoping for :-( nevertheless the pickle is quite portable -so when I need a yodel I'll have to outfit it with a little pickup LOL. Happy New Year brother!!!!
HELLO Amigo!!! LEGATO will serve you as a good lotion in creating your cool content and gorgeous music - Happy New Year JIMMY - To you and your loved ones - God bless you - Igor and Caleb are in touch :))))🔥🔥🔥🎸🎸🎸✨✨✨🐕🦺💪
Nux is great for people who want something to work instantly - with amazing preset sounds right out of the box. No doubt it sounds great - but I still prefer this 1 - because it's half the price, and 2 - because you can do so much more with it. Being able to load in your own impulses makes it for power users who like to copy sounds exactly like the originals.
Yeah, I've been playing it for 3 months, and it completely blew my mind as soon as I checked all it's abilities. Wanna play at home? You need guitar, pa-1, and headphones.
I'm learning playing guitar for less then year. I do not have enough time to play during the day, so I usually playing when my family sleeps. I started with VOX's brand classic rock, and I would say that THIS sounds way better. It actually resurrected my aspiration to practice more and more. Wanna clean acoustic?

Jimmy, 1st off HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I gotta say this a VERY IMPRESSIVE tutorial of a KOOL device. I went through quite a nightmare a couple years ago when I got my Helix floor unit. I watched endless videos and eventually figured some things out. I found the manual almost useless as I'm fairly illiterate with computers and the like. In the last year or so I found a few guys that are easier to understand. But what I'm getting at is you did a phenomenal job here and if I didn't have the HELIX I'd jump ALL over this and you would make it VERY EASY to use. GREAT JOB dude!!!!
Hey Don - thank you that means so much man! Happy 2022! I hear you when it comes to the learning curve. I got the Moore GE 250 and I'm still discovering new features and stuff that are helpful but hard to figure out. This little gadget, has a bit of quirks but overall it's very easy to operate which drew me to it. Plus loading IRs really is key to being able to shape the sound. You make that Helix Rock!!! Thank you so much man - stay safe and keep rocking!!!
That sounded awesome Jimmy, great little amp there man 😀🤘🎵🔥🔥🔥
Hey Adam - thank you kindly brother! Happy 2022 man!!!
Cool little amp modeller, very fun video, Jimmy !!😀🎸✌
Ingo!!!! Thank you bro I am definitely loving the sound. Happy 2022 my friend!
Happy New Year Jimmy and family great little amp thanks for the detailed review,you Rock Man,Cheers!
Happy New Year brother! Thank you kindly man and I hope you're having a blast in 2022!!!
Cool video!!!! btw that Harley Benton looks beautiful!!!!!!!
Hey professor David - thank you! I really love the way the fusion 3 plays. I had to do a little setup on it, and it's definitely a lot of bang for the buck. Happy 2022 to you and your brother and the rest of your family!!!!
@@guitarmeetsscience Happy new year!!!!
Great video...
Happy New year my friend
Thank you so much my friend - happy 2022!
Like nr 19!!! Sounds great my dear friend!!! but in your hands all sounda great :-) Happy new year!!!
You rock brother! Happy new Year - I hope you are having a safe and rocking start to your 2022. Thank you for your kind words bro you rock!
wow sounds really cool ,this is a great tool and you dont half to blow hundreds of dollars like with others such as head rush especially for those who dont have the kind of $$
Hey Shawn!! Happy 2022 my friend! Thank you for checking it out, and you totally said it right there. Seems the impulse responses really have a huge impact on the sound, and I was really intrigued by the fact that this little unit actually allows you to load them up. I've had the Mooer GE 250 which is my first impulse response capable unit, while that was relatively cheap this little unit is a fraction of that price and definitely competes in terms of sheer guitar tone. I want to incorporate it into my old boss pedal and see how that comes out. Hope your New Year is off to a great start my friend!
@@guitarmeetsscience and all the best you in this new year sorry i missed you live not use to your new time lol
@@ShawnTheBassist369 no worries Shawn - I'd miss it as well if I didn't have to do it LOL
You are so skilled Jimmy... great demonstration bro 💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Jaycon!!! Thank you so much brother and I wish you a very happy 2022!!!!
It sounds awesome, one thing is missing ( Noise Gate option). Great review 👍
Thank you very much! It might actually have a built-in noise gate I'm not sure. Most of my gear is fairly quiet so I tend to try to avoid Gates as much as possible just for Dynamics, but the preamps built into this particular unit are a bit noisy. Lately though I've just been incorporating it with only the impulse responses turned on - it gives a lot more versatility to other pedals, and with it being said cheap it is a great option.
@@guitarmeetsscience Indeed, however, I will go with NUX Mighty Plug.
@@CyberTechOfficial-h7n looks like a handy device! They've come a long way for sure.
Sound sooo good. Happy New Year👍👍🙏🙏
Thank you so much brother and a very happy and safe and prosperous New Year to you!!!
That is So Cool,Happy New Year My Friend,🤣🤣No Clue How that Works but I'll take your Word for it,I'm So Dumb when it Comes to tech Stuff..Have a Rockin Day 🤘🖤🎉🎉
REBEL!!!!! Happy 2022!!🤘 🥳🤘 This tech stuff moves so fast I feel I'm behind on it. Nevertheless, not to worry LOL that's what these tutorials are for I think. Hope you have a rocking and safe New Year!!!!

wouww..produces an amazing sound my friend 👍🎶🎵
very special, and cool stuff 👍👍
Thank you so much my friend! I love the tones from that little box.
What an amp - small yet powerful!🌟Great review. (And that guitar is a beauty.🎸) Happy New Year! 🎉Wishing you all the best in 2022.✨😊🌸
Hey Brooklyn happy new year! I wish you much success and prosperity in 2022. Thank you for checking it out, I really dig the fact that it's so small and yet packs a powerful punch. Stay safe my friend!
So cool video😊♪🎹🔥🔥🔥
Great performance!!
Thanks for sharing♪
Thank you kindly my friend - happy 2022!
Great my friend , Happy New Year. 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Thank you my friend Happy new year! 🤘🥳🤘
Awesome device! Amazing how good these little things sound. Thanks for the demo! 56👍
Thank you very much! I really do like the tone this has. All the best in 2022!
First , your intro and ending jams are way cool !!
You made this tuto fun to watch , Does this amp Yodel too ?
That's helpfull , of course i'll have to watch it again to get everything , but i think i got it mostly ... 75 percent ; ) like the volume : )
HAPPY NEW YEAR BRO !! : )
Happy New Year Christophe and Pascale!!!!! Sadly the amp does not yodel though I'm working on training it to... So I don't think it's the most distinctive possibilities LOL. 75% is the magic number so far that I found and the software does make it easier to work with though you could set the regular settings via its front face. Of course also with the software is where you can actually load impulse responses and that's the magic of the sound right there. I might actually stream with it today we'll have to see. Oh but that means I need a longer cord....hmmmmmm... Anyhow I hope you two are having an awesome start to your 2022!
Any suggestions on how to use effectively in live gig situation. Seems like a 1/4” out would help with that, otherwise the current outs could be fragile…
You're exactly right - with a large adapter it increases the weight on the jack. However the best thing would be a small cord, with a 1/8 inch plug which goes into the lekato, and the other end having a female quarter inch Jack input. That's the way I set mine up - I soldered my own cord for that so that I could interface it with my other pedals. I like to put mine into the return and send of a bigger multi effects pedal . so that the other pedal only has to worry about effects while the lekato does the heavy lifting of processing the impulse responses.
@@guitarmeetsscience Maybe a 90 degree 1/8” plug would lessen the strain on the output socket. I hate it when these connections lose their integrity, so bloody hard to repair. I’m also the world’s worst when it comes to soldering the fiddly bits. Cheers for the reply.
Happy new year to you and your family my dear friend
Thank you so much my friend and a very Happy New Year to you and your family as well!
Hey brother!!! I haven´t been here for a while.... working too much. Let´s see what you´ve been doing.... starting from this one! Looks like an interesting equipment, by the way!!
Great to see you here Paulo!!! I hope you're doing well man! Thanks so much, having a portable impulse driven amp sim is definitely handy!
Beautiful sharing this is amazing video. Happy new year ✨ 💛 🙋♀️
Thank you so much my friend - happy 2022! :-)
I paused the frame at 0:39, and noticed the numerical array at the top of the box only goes to 10 - lol, why not 11? But seriously, this looks like a great deal, Jimmy, hard to believe it's less than 50 bucks! You've given me something to think about with this awesome demo! And Happy New Year to you and yours, my friend!
Hey man happy new year! LOL I advise them to take it to at least 11 though I'm thinking at this point we need to start considering a 12 slot. It's pretty amazing what they're doing with these gadgets now and I think the impulse response really changes the game. I got a $500 box that loads 10 of them, and along comes as $50 gadget that really does the same thing. Granted it doesn't have compression stereo delay etc but still at a tenth of the price it sound quality rivals much more expensive ones. Thanks for checking out the demo and I hope you have a safe and rocking 2022 my friend!!;
Because they made "10", one louder 👍😉
Pretty sure Marshall made an amp in the 90's that went up to 11 though
A pocket amp! Now I really have seen it all 😊 😃 Great sound too ❤
Hey my friend - happy New Year to you and your family! Haha yes it is a tiny small but mighty gadget. I'm really liking the sound and feel. Thank you so much for checking it out, stay safe and have fun my friend!!!!
@@guitarmeetsscience 😊 😃 😀
happy New Year to everybody
Happy New Year my friend! :-)
Love it 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you ben! That little box rocks! Happy 2022!
New subscriber. Loved the video and I just purchased this and anxiously waiting for delivery. Where do I get the software? Is it Android software?
Hello Robert, thank you so much and it's great to meet you. The software is actually free - in the video I followed the link to lekatodeal dot com. The software is pretty easy to use but it does have some quirks which I explained in the video hopefully the explanation helps. If you have any questions however feel free to ask anytime. Welcome to the family!
@@guitarmeetsscience thank you bud =)
@@robertyoung7027 no problem Robert have a good one my friend!
Thanks for your review. Love your guitar too. Too bad HB is too ex to be shipped to my place😂
Thank you kindly I appreciate it. I'm sorry to hear that Harley Benton's are too expensive to ship where You are. Here in the states they're relatively cheap. I like the Glarry models - they seem to be getting better and better. They require a bit of tweaking to be made fully playable in terms of setting up, but they're not bad.
Hello, Top product!!!!
Best Regards,José Movilandia 😎👍💥💥💥
Hey Jose my brother - thank you so much man! Happy 2022!
Very nice sharing! Woww... Big like 50 bro! 🎵🎵🎵🎵
Thank you so much bro and a very Happy New Year to you man!!!!!
@@guitarmeetsscience thanks a lot! Happy New Year you too! 🥂🍾
is it normal that the volume of it. is low when just plug into guitar
It can happen, but I believe that's just due to the setting of the preset. The volumes of the presets themselves vary. But they can be tweaked, and you could go in and adjust the volume individually and then store that preset.
@@guitarmeetsscience i fixed it now on edit mode :D the pre amp settings are just different. this things a beast
@MustangDesudiroz right on! I figured it was something like that. It's a great little device....I still use it like crazy for jamming with backing tracks. Glad it works for you 🤘🤘
@@guitarmeetsscience i use my laptop for backing tracks with a separate spekaer. lots of fun and a game changer. it really sounds like i have 5 pedals.
def il post my review and vid soon too
i think it'll benefit more with a better bigger speaker. i nly use a $3 speaker lol
Will this device connect to apple earbuds via Bluetooth?
It's a pretty simple design in terms of interfacing - I don't really know if it would work with wireless earbuds. On the instructions it says to use wired earphones. Even if there was a way to interface the wireless earphones digitally you would experience latency - which is not good when you're playing so generally a good wired pair of earbuds would be the best for it.
Amazing ❤❤
Great work ❤❤❤❤❤
So good ❤❤❤❤
Nice video ❤❤❤❤
Stay connected and stay safe
Thank you so finally my friend and I wish you a very happy new year! :-)
WHAT??? WHOA!!! That is tiny and yet HUGE! How super cool! Shit it can't yodel... deal breaker, almost! Great video Jimmy and a great product review. I love the idea of this handy little tool! I might actually pick one of these babies up!
Happy rocking new year to you brother. Stay crazy... I mean stay metal! 🤘😎🤘
damn... it is already sitting in my Amazon cart. You actually got me exited about this little baby! I own a Helix Floor and love it, but it doesn't fit in my pocket and it is a little heavy when I have it hanging on a belt clip ;) I got a ton of amp sims in my iPhone but I would still need an interface to make it work. So this is actually one of the best compact solutions that even support IR that I can think of. Have you run into any other product that can do the same as this in such a compact size, or is this the only thing out there at the moment?
Hey Ed!!! Happy New Year man! LOL -yeah I was hoping it would yodel, but luckily The yodeling pickle is small enough I could carry it anywhere LMAO. Right on I'm glad you picked this up. It's very handy, and it doesn't take long for it to be intuitive. I really don't know of anything this small that can pull off the feat of storing 10 IRs ... At this price especially. I'm actually thinking about putting it into the effects loop of the old boss gt8 which has great effects. Something is small it is pretty flexible. Thank you so much and I look forward to hearing your impressions on it. Happy New Year brother!
@@guitarmeetsscience that is an awesome idea about the GT8. I actually still have a GT8 sitting on my large pedalboard as well. Allowing it to use cab IRs would really make those amp models sound even better i imagine. I still use the GT8 every now and then. It might be an old processor but i think it still has some great sounding capabilities. The only thing that is the limiting factor is that i use stereo out from the GT8 into my mixer and the PA-1 only has one mono in. Can’t be made stereo with two PA-1’s, one for each channel and i even imagine using two IRs that way to make it sound as two different amps in stereo. But i won’t go that far. That’s where for me the Helix would come into the picture again. But it is definitely a possibility and since they are this affordable it could offer many cool posibilities for people on a budget too i imagine.
Funny thing is that i saw almost the identical product as the Lekato sold under the brandname Donner. Same price same features. Those sneaky Chinese hahah 😉
Yes i think i am going to test out a PA-1. This little guy can bring a lot new ideas to the table. Thanks for sharing this video Jimmy, really awesome tip for a cool new product 👍👍
@@EdBMetal oh yeah those boss gt8s are great. Nuno Bettencourt still uses one to this day, because the effects are quite awesome in it and it's built like a tank. The send and returns are mono as it is, so generally the amp unit would be treated as a mono source. Usually for rhythms I double track or more per side, so I'm usually changing impulse responses around and things like that. For lead work - it's always a single amp for a very focused sound so having that mono amp as an engine with the effects loop set before stereo reverbs and delays really brings the best of both worlds. Granted I do like the ability to use different IRS at the same time but I generally don't do that live anyways because the sound loses its focus. LOL yeah I can see probably the same manufacturers slapping different names on their products. It may be a wise move I'm not sure. I guess whichever one works the most is the one they'll be going for 🤘🤣🤘
@@guitarmeetsscience i am an idiot... you did mention the effects loop, and i completely didn’t realize that it actually had a loop. I have never used it since i got it. Duh! Forgot it was even there. You are completely right! Putting the mono IR in the loop makes perfect sense and imstill can output stereo from the main with the IR sitting perfectly where it belongs. Man you got me excited for this cool ini amp.
I didn’t even realize Nuno is still using one. That does show how great these bad boys are. I will keep using that GT8 till it dies. Even with the Helix in my possession I still like using that GT8. This little IR loader will blow complete new live into the GT8 again. You rock brother! Love discussing these options with you 👊 have a fantastic weekend brother. Will catch your stream very soon again 🤘
@@EdBMetal right on brother - best thing about it.... That GT8 will never die... I have no doubt it could survive 100 nuclear holocausts LMAO
Nice
Hey my friend so great to hear from you! Happy New Year - and very safe and prosperous 2022!!!!
Good to know that it's too complicated for my situation here! Saved me money!
Amplifiers - the moment when they grow hair and become yodeling pickles is the day trees turn to sand. And so are the days of our lives.....
could you measure the body size
That is a good idea, I never took measurements - I just held it in my hand so people could see the general size compared to the human hand
dont want to sound stupid where do you find IR files
No worries.... That's a very good question. If you do a Google search for something like "free guitar impulse responses" you'll find a ton of sites with them for free download. You simply unzip them, and then load them via the software into the unit. I found a lot of free ones on UA-cam as well, searching for the same thing. Thanks for asking!

Nux mighty plug pro is so much better
Nux is great for people who want something to work instantly - with amazing preset sounds right out of the box. No doubt it sounds great - but I still prefer this 1 - because it's half the price, and 2 - because you can do so much more with it. Being able to load in your own impulses makes it for power users who like to copy sounds exactly like the originals.
