Ampero : Better than I expected

3 years ago

The first impression when I opened the box was.... WOW, this is small.

The second was, very good build quality.

I mostly play at home and I wanted something to plug and play, instead of using my tube preamp-poweramp-cab setup.

The pc editor is what I use all the time, it's quicker / easier to create sounds, on my desk, plugged into my interface with studio monitors.

The cleans and crunches are very very good in no time / efford.

For the hi gain sounds it took me a while to find the right sound for my liking and the most important for me was the cab choise / ir and definately a generous hi cut in the global or preset eq.

This is my first modeler (since digitech rp6!!!) and I am quite impressed for the sounds you can achieve for such a low price.

Definately recommended.

P.S. After using it for a while, I'm thinking to go for something even better/pricier/more controls/choices and stop using my all tube HEAVY setup....
