LEKATOElectric Guitar Amp, Rechargeable Guitar Amp 20W, Distortion, Delay Effect, Bluetooth, Guitar Amp Combo for Daily Practice, Travel

I got this for practicing around the house and for teaching lessons, but I got invited to play at a rehab center the day after I got it, so I brought it instead of a bulky amp and pedalboard, and it sounded great for that particular room (a cafeteria).The three features that made me choose this over a similar product (both have Bluetooth/rechargeable battery/built-in delay and distortion) were that: 1) this one was cheaper; 2) it can power three pedals; and 3) it has a 1/4 inch output *and* a headphone jack - not just one or the other, so it can go straight into an amp or mixer as a rechargeable distortion+delay pedal (with Bluetooth - so, remember to put your phone on do not disturb, if you don't want your amp ringing in the middle of your gig).There's also another version of this amp with a different brand name on Amazon, but I preferred the understated look of this one over the bright graphics and color of the other one.The Lekato doesn't roar like a Marshall, but it sounds great for the price and portability. My only complaint is that there's not really a subtle overdrive sound. It has a nice clean channel, and a good distortion channel that sounds crunchy even with the drive turned all the way down, but nothing in between. But, you can always plug in a pedal (or three, as long as they only need 9v/100ma or less) to get the sound you want.I highly recommend this product - especially for young students, but also for us older folks who are weary of keeping track of wires and plugs and amps and pedals and just want to sit and jam on the porch/garage/backyard - or rehab center cafeteria.

This is IMO the best battery amp on the market, especially for the price point. Battery lasts way longer than it says. The 3, 9v power outputs for pedals is genius.If you’re purchasing a used pedal off Craigslist or OfferUp, a guitar and this amp are all you need to test at a neutral location like a parking lot instead of a sketchy house lol. I’ve avoided purchasing 2 faulty pedals this way.The tone is neutral enough that it takes pedals surprisingly well so if you have a pedalboard, leave the big platform amp at the rehearsal space and use this at home. The Delay and Distortion, do not have dedicated foot-switches, but do have 2 buttons with enough space to fit a toe or tip of shoe in to make foot-switching happen. Delay is fun and will oscillate. Distortion channel is basically a distortion pedal. I would agree with another comment, it gives DS-1 Distortion vibes.Additional great features include 2 speakers instead of 1, dedicated headphone out, output jack so it can be used as a pedal, Bluetooth connectivity, the robot/ 80s tape deck aesthetic is cool, and included rubber stoppers to attach on the bottom of the unit.About a week after I purchased this, this amp can be seen in an episode of Homeskoolin with Tom Bukovac on YouTube, ( picture above, the orange Caline Lorcan and this are the same OEM product with different branding).Some critiques would be maybe add dedicated foot switches for the distortion/delay and an eq for the clean channel.Bottom line is this amp is just fun and perfect for what it is. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a battery amp or first guitar amp.

Fits just fine in a carry on bag. Love the 3 9 vt outlets on the side. Quite loud for such a small amp. I don’t bother with the distort channel . The one drawback; it doesn’t have an equalizer on the clean channel. For that I bought a moen mini equalizer. With that and my multi effect pedal the unit sounds very passable I mean it’s not a twin reverb but it does have surprising depth, clarity, and volume

I've tried other battery powered amps such as the Roland Microcube, Blackstar Fly3 with extension cab, and the Boss Katana Mini. I've also experimented with running digital modelers into various different speakers over the years using an Aux cord.I would put this up there with the best right next to the Roland Microcube, if not better than the Microcube. That's a pretty big statement to make if you've done research on this topic, as the Microcube is usually considered the "best" battery mini amp of all time.This Lekato has a very sweet sounding base clean tone (think Vox or Fender, upper midrange focused but a bit less brittle than those and smoother) and gets louder than you might think with the 25 watts and 2 speakers. It just sounds good to my ears and isn't harsh, it just gives a straight up good tone, it's satisfying to play to the ears. The onboard delay is great. The distortion is actually not bad either, but the amp lacks a little bit of low end due to the small speaker size so it doesn't give very much low end punch with the distortion activated. It's more useful as a light to medium crunch and won't give a hi-gain tone, but is definitely still pretty roary when dimed. Almost like a Marshall distortion but less crackly, it's a pretty compressed sounding distortion. At first I thought the distortion sucked but it kind of grew on me when I tweaked it more and found sweet spots, it does what it can with the small speaker size.The battery power and small size and flat form factor makes it quite convenient to play in different places. The fact that it's flat means it's great for easily recording it without hassle of mic stands etc or just using smart phone. The Bluetooth connection is stable and I haven't had issues with it. The 3 power ports for pedals makes it convenient to use with pedals (so you can add EQ or different dirt pedals in front if you want a different distortion). There is a 1/4" line out for running into a different speaker if you just want to use it as an amp but use different speakers.It has no issues with excess noise from ungrounded outlets etc since it has its own power supply built in, this can be quite useful depending on your home if you've been getting a lot of buzzing or hum.This is a nearly perfectly engineered device for guitar and I gave it 5 stars. It isn't going to sound like a real large size amp of course, but it's simply great for what it is. I would recommend this to a beginner as their first amp over quite a few other ones in this price range, since all the features will be useful later on in your journey unexpectedly. It doesn't do anything it doesn't need to do and sounds great at what it does. The only weak points would be a lack of low end due to the speaker size and that the volume only gets so loud (but will still more than fill a small room, it just likely won't be loud enough for a real large band situation, but would also probably be fine for small jams).FWIW I genuinely think this sounds better than the Blackstar Fly3 and Katana Mini to my ears. Better sound than the cheaper Fender solid states like the Frontman. It gets pretty much just as loud as those, if you are playing in an ensemble then maybe look elsewhere, but it really does give good enough volume. The built in battery and small size makes it very convenient.
