The basic Lekato Guitar Looper Effect Pedal is possibly the brand’s entry level looper, and is almost extinct at this time. You might find one or two still available at the links below, or in second hand stores, pawn shops and on Reverb. This basic looper is solid aluminum alloy, offers up to 5 minutes of loop time with unlimited overdubbing, single-foot switch operation, 24-bit uncompressed audio, USB connectivity for file transfer, and an output level control knob.
Operation is as follows:
Press the foot switch once to start recording, press once again to stop recording & begin playback. If the looper is currently playing it’s track, then pressing the foot switch once again will begin an overdubbing process. Pressing once again goes into playback with the new layer(s) as well. Each successive time you press the Foot Switch once, it will record another layer or return to playback with that new layer.
While the looper is playing the track WITH any overdubs, press & hold the foot switch to Undo the Overdub. You can REDO that overdub by repeating the Press & hold WHILE the track(s) are playing. (Provided you haven’t added any further new layers). When you Undo a layer, you can then either bring it back with REDO, or you can create another new layer & continue your performance, in which case the layer that was undone becomes irretrievable.
Press the foot switch twice (fairly quickly) at any time to immediately stop playing all the layers simultaneously.
When the looper is NOT currently playing anything, press & hold the foot switch to clear the track & all its layers. (This is not reversible)
There is no battery power option and it does not normally come with the 9v center-N power adapter you’ll need.
An interesting small feature of this pedal is that if you have a loop currently in the looper, and the power adapter is pulled out (the looper gets powered off), the loop will be automatically saved and will still be available when you power it back on!! Not all loop pedals have this ability, so good to know!
