HoTone Ampero

Unreal

Great Pedal so easy to navigate through the menus, and when connected to laptop so easy to edit patches and do what I want without breaking my back.

Good basic multieffect unit but it lacks some features

Beware of this unit if you want to get all-around-multi-tool for guitar etc instruments. I say this because to me this unit was not what I expected. For instance it was way too little for my use and I found out that the EXP pedal in this unit works only volume or other parameter controller BUT NOT as a WAH! pedal even you try to push it down many times and there is even light for assuming that it is dual purpose EXP footswitch but it is not!!! The only way you would get wah working in each patch you´ll have to assign a momentary button for the wah and after that you would change the wah effect with the EXP. This is very annoying feature and it is totally worthless and not what I thought it would be... To me volume AND wah must be in the same EXP.

Display is little hard to see so you have to use it on the desk/table etc. Touch screen is +++ I didn´t get so good sounds with this in my Fender LT25 practice amp or in Koch Multitone II tube amp. I think this unit could be best as a sound interface and DAW straight forward recording, maybe not with different kinds of amps.

Best item for its money.

Everything is really positive except of thing - the pedal is not for constant use. You better get yourself something external. All the rest is perfect - size, handling, sound (i`ve made a better sound with it native irs than my helix had), and etc.

Very good sound and usability for the size

I bought it to substitute my pedalboard composed of single pedals and as an all-in-one solution for gigs (this way I don't have to carry an amp or mic, as it can be directly plugged into the mixing table).

It has a great selection of effects, amps, cabs, and more can be purchased from their website. The touchscreen is fast, colorful and very easy to use.

For the prize and very compact size it's almost unbeatable. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Better than I expected

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....

Amazing Multi-FX processor for the money

Amazing product - perfect for all genres.

Only Con is that it lacks DSP power to support a whammy pedal simulator.

Woooowww!!!

This product is living up to the hype!!! Sound and build quality are superb.

Sufficient for my need. The only thing that I am concern about was the expression pedal. It's too small but apart from that its functional. Overall, highly recommended!!!

Best bang for the buck

It is versatile, good sounding and easy enough to use.

The touchscreen is great addition, but i think that connected to the PC and using editor is even easier to make a good sound preset.

I tried it through PA speakers, i plugged it in return of an valve amp head, directly into SS combo amp, and now i am playing it at home through 7 inch studio speakers in stereo.

Really good sound for a digital modeler.

It takes time to get to know the features. It has numerous effect's. I haven't tried most of them yet.

IMHO it is the best multi effect/guitar processor unit within 320€.

My friend has Hotone Ampero II and it is even better unit than this one ,but it is 200€ more...

After 2 month's of use all i can say that i am just starting to discover it's quirks and features.

In the past i've payed for two effect's pedals the same money than i did for Hotone Ampero, so i recommend you try it out.

A great thing for rehearsals and for concerts in small rooms. The sound is pleasant for the most part (I was only disappointed with a couple of effects), great for High Gain players. All buttons can be assigned as you want, you can connect a midi controller and expand the processor's functionality by adding one more expression pedal in addition to the built-in one, or a footswitch for two buttons. A very nice and bright touch screen makes it a lot easier to set up this device.

The best proc I've ever had
