We have had the pleasure of reviewing every iteration of the Ampero Series of effects units from Hotone Audio thus far, and we’re going to keep that streak alive today. Presenting the new Ampero II Stomp, and amp modeler and effects processor that takes everything from the previous versions and pushes them to their limits.
Ampero II Stomp implements brand new tri-core digital platform and independent AD/DA from ESS® Sabre® Series, combined with Hotone’s more advanced CDCM HD and F.I.R.E modeling technology, creating more musically dynamic and vivid tones.T he online manual for the Ampero II Stomp currently sits at 100 PAGES, so we’re going to give you a somewhat brief synapsis of what it can do. Perks here include:
– Touchscreen for selecting effects, editing patches and making tone adjustments
– 3 footswitches for selecting effects, moving between banks, tap tempo and more
– Stereo Inputs and Outputs
– Exp/Ctl jack to connect expression pedal, footswitch or controller
– MIDI In and Out/Thru capabilities
– Stereo FX Loop via TRS connectivity
– USB jack for computer connections
– Aux In connects external devices (phone, mp3 player) for practice & jamming
– 1/8″ stereo jack for connecting headphones
– Quick access control knobs for on-the-fly tonal adjustments
– Tuner and Looper (60 seconds max recording) functionality
– Patch editing and effects chain customization
– 87 amp models; 68 cab models
– 100+ legendary pedal models; 60+ original effects
– Move, Swap, Copy, Paste and Delete effects modules
You can run Ampero II Stomp in a multitude of configurations as well, making it the perfect machine for any musical situation or scenario. The FX loop lets you add in your favorite stompboxes to the mix, and you can easily connect it to a mixer, interface, computer and more (it sounds AWESOME in stereo, as you’ll hear in our demo below). The sheer magnitude of an effects processor like this might seem daunting at first, but once you start going through the manual and playing around a bit with the interface, your sonic visions will spring to life. Cheers to Hotone Audio on another wonderful creation – grab a coffee or beer or whatever, sit back, relax and enjoy the ride we’ve created with the Ampero II Stomp Amp Modeler Effects Processor…
