Flexibility and Variability: Two Channels, Different Modes
LeCto has a two-channel architecture, making it extremely flexible. Each channel offers three unique modes, allowing you to shape a wide range of tones – from clean crunch to aggressive high-gain.

Modes on each channel:
- Raw: Raw, open tone for dynamic crunch.

By combining channels and modes, you can easily find the perfect tone for any guitar task.
