Harmonic Dive Bomber
I bought this about a month ago but haven't had time to post about it in until now.
Everything you get in the box:
And it is tiny and will fit in pretty much all gig bags or guitar cases. Here it is next to my old Boss Delay for a perspective.
I can't say this competes with Fractal, Line6, Kemper etc as I don't have access to those to compare them and I doubt it does given the price difference, certainly not on the level of tone shaping those things provide. What it does, is sound pretty good in it's own right, and while I'm going to keep using my amp and effects, I would not be worried about the sound quality if I had to plug this in as my backup.
It's great for practice plugged into the Aux of my Boss Microcube and actually means two people can jam using it, one through the Boss' modelling, the other using the Lekato, making it great for teaching my son.
I am still playing with it and will get around to recording using it at some point but would seriously consider using it at some band rehearsals for convenience.
I came across this looking at Lekato Wireless systems and for the money thought it was worth a punt. So glad I did!
- It cost just £36 on ebay!
- Sounded good at rehearsal using a line into the PA. I could happily gig with this if my amp failed.
- It's a modeller with 9 preamps and 8 IRs preloaded. Using the software editor from the website you can load in and out your own IRs as well.
- Has basic effects (chorus or phase, delay & reverb) that are at least usable.
- Runs for 6 hours on it's built in rechargeable battery.
- Has Bluetooth so you can play music from your phone or other device through the output. Makes it easy for buskers or practice with backing tracks.
- Headphone socket, works as USB soundcard, and a dedicated output for recording to phones (presume iPhone), see the back picture below and cables it comes with.
- Has 3 modes, Preset where you can recall one of 3 saved configurations, Edit for editing said presets, and Live where you can use it as a multi-fx switching in/out the preamp on the right, whatever combination of modulation and delay is set up on the middle switch, and the reverb/IR on the left switch.
- Also has a E-A-D-G-B-e tuner that works perfectly acceptably as well.
