Got the Ampero Mini in Vanilla. Love it. The amp and cab sims soung great to me.

I brought my Ampero II stage about a month ago. Awesome gear at a great price.

Have had the OG Ampero for about 5 years now. Did and still do overseas or international gigs/tours with it and it holds up.
Necessary to couple it with a good poweramp to use it with a cab and it never let me down.
Maybe one day I will upgrade, but I’m happy with the old boy

[JTB--]

I've had the Stage II since right when it came out and it's excellent. I have a PRS Custom Piezo and go into Both Inputs to get really creative.
Besides sounding good, I appreciate the Mic ability on the unit, the Looper AND Drum Machine. The Stage II really offers the Kitchen Sink

[iloveitall]

The video we have been waiting for. Thank you!

[kennethdarlington]

My understanding before watching the video based on my research:
Stomp mini - basically a regular Hotone Ampero in the formfactor of shrinked Ampero Stomp.
Ampero Stomp - top of the Ampero current lineup in terms of sound. Better (than regular Ampero and Stomp mini) modeling, better IR etc.
Ampero Stage - basically Ampero Stomp with extended IO, more knobs etc.

The stage 2 is the first multi effect unit that don’t make me think “ill just take my pedalboard because it’s easier” I love it so far

[jordanprysmiki]

My ampero stomp 2 sounds amazing and has me playing more guitar in general.
I get by without scenes. It's the best bang for your buck full stop.

[joutynathan]

I like my ampero mini ! I sometimes use it for cleans, but I now primarily use it as a multi-effect, or as my amp when I go on vacation

[johngudgeon]

The Ampero Stomp II has just had a firmware upgrade so the unit now offers scenes (Same as the Stage but not as many)
Hotone has also drastically altered the GUI.
I'm not sure whether that's an improvement or not as I have yet to go through the Firmware update. (They always make me nervous)
I will say that I bought and sold the full fat Helix twice before finally deciding that the Stomp II was much easier to drive at a fraction of the cost...

[CL_Audio_Tuning]

I wonder if you set the 1st preset identically in all 3 devices, THEN, what would the difference be!? Using the exact same effects, settings, and amp, etc.

[whazpoppin]

I got the 2 stomp for over a year and i love it. I‘ve tried the hx Stomp but the ui is an absolute nightmare ✌🏼

[CharLessMajorMusic]

I dont know with other models but I have the mini and what I don’t like about it is if you want to use it just a multi-fx and let’s say it’s bypassed or not engaged, the clean signal is kinda slightly tweaked EQ wise, going thru this unit makes the low end of your clean signal lesser. It’s not transparent when bypassed. It’s not drastic but it’s a thing to consider.

[jcugnoni]

I own the OG Ampero since a few years and Hotone did a great job (albeit a bit slow) to push updates (feature added + new amps etc). The sound quality is still really good with a good IR of your choice. The cab modeling is not as good as the Ampero Gen 2 but remains ok. Running the Ampero into a good power amp make it sound pretty close to the real deal. I did quite a bit of AB tests with Synergy (Friedman, SLO, Engl, IIcp) and other DIY tube preamps (Bogner XTC) and the Amperon sounds 99% there (albeit with slightly different EQ settings than the original amp). Biggest drawback: the presets are way to wet. My advice for this unit are 1. Load a couple of IR that you like. Adapt the Global EQ if needed. 2. Don't use the presets, start from a simple Amp + Cab/IR setup and add FX progressivelly. (This applies to most modelers by the way...)

[JS-vzje]

great demo.. you played a great and fitting variety to each tone

[joebowbeer]

Ampero Mini sounds great in a low-power, intuitive, small form-factor pedal. I use a Xsonic AirSTEP (USB MIDI host) and an expression pedal for full control.

[Renato_Cara]

Very tasty riffs in the outro song. Nice video. I just wished you tested more the dynamic of the volume with some crunch gain settings. How it cleans out in lower volumes. This is the thing that for me differentiate good modellers from bad ones.

[emach]

We're so damned spoiled these days lolol. You got people paying $200 for this mini thing and bitching because it doesn't do this or that. Meanwhile in a land not far far away you have people paying $300 plus for a fricking Reverb pedal. Cuz it's analog 😵‍💫 not knocking that, js... What a time to be alive 🤩 Fantastic video!!!

[Obssy]

Can you please review the Ampero II that was just launched? Please showcase the Tone Capture feature and the vocal effects. Thank you, love the channel ❤

Until this video I was confused why they would still sell the old one but seeing the size in this video in comparison, it makes me wonder what it's like as just an effects modeller if you don't need amp modelling? It seems like a great form factor and price for that kind of thing if the effects sound good.
