HoTone MP-80 Ampero One 4-stars Reviews

A nice choice as an entry into the digital world

I used one of these as my primary live amp sim, and it never failed on me. It's built well, still gets firmware updates, and works as it's supposed to, however, the sounds aren't as great as some more expensive options. Even it's successor Stomp II gets you much much better sounds. Overall a nice unit for the price.

Ampero oh so close!

Ampero One great little unit but processing power is an issue Hotone had the right idea to make a smaller chassis but missed out on the processing power.. shame but still okay! The Headrush MX5 is the one had my MX5 about a month it’s so powerful easy to use better than Line 6 Pod Go small but all round multi fx MX5 is the real one!

I sold my old Line6 digital guitar processor and got the Ampero one and I have been very happy with it. It’s a really compact size unit (the old Line6 was huge and did’t fit a bag) and it’s easy to take it with you to a band practise. I plug the Ampero straight to a mixer and PA cabinets and it sounds great. You don’t really have to modify any of the preset sounds or mix it, everything blends in to the other instruments (bass, keyboard and drums). Most of the presets are usable. You’ve got all you need from distortion to clean sounds.

Still if you want to tweak it, there are plenty of choices and the attached good sized screen works really nice. You can easily build your own sounds or adjust the presets. Me, I like to keep it simple and I really appreciate the fact that the presets are sounding great and are well balanced.

The build in drum machine is great and it is easy to use as anyting with a clear UI. I like to practise with the Ampero at home with headphones on.

The build quality of this thing is good. You don’t have to worry that it breaks. Ok, the included small foot ”volume” pedal is not the greatest but even that gets the job done. There is not many outputs but for my use it’s fine. I use a single instrument cable to connect this mono to the mixer.

I’m happy with the sound. It’s not like the new processors that cost 1500€ but hey with the price tag under 300€ this one is well worth the money.

HoTone MP-80 Ampero One. Price quality !

I live in St. Petersburg, a professional musician. My songs can be found in any search engine, I'm Alexey Romanyuta. I've been using the Boss GT 10 processor for a long time. I am very pleased with him! I took the Hotone Ampero one for an experiment and sold it after a short time. Not mine .. The boss sounds like something analogous , livelier, fatter.. The Ampero seemed "flat" by the sound. Probably, in terms of price and quality, it is not bad for someone, but not for me. If possible , it is better to dig up a little and take something proven .
