Live Looping Demonstration

Kala'e uses a "Loop Pedal," which allows him to emulate the sound of a full band by recording different layers of a song (e.g. rhythm guitar, lead guitar, percussion, bass, etc.). With the use of his pedal board, he is capable of creating a much larger sound, making his music suitable for any event, big or small.
