TOUCH THE MARVELOUS!

"Upgrade" is more than a 7-letter word. It embodies the continuation and evolvement beneath the surface, and embraces revolution and creativity outside the box. It’s what Ampero II Stomp does. Throughout years of grinding to establish its core technologies from empirical practice, the Hotone team proudly presents this soul partner for your sophisticated taste in the sound of the music.

Ampero is more than a series.
What makes a good digital effects processor? For us, it is so much more than delivering a high-quality sound. In order to be accessible for more players to enjoy the pure simplicity of music, a good pedal needs a design as intuitive and straightforward as possible, meanwhile maintaining a reachable price. Therefore, we carved this consensus into creating Ampero. Since its launch, the Ampero Series has gained the favor of music professionals and hobbyists alike, and earned a reputation for its sound performance and user interface design. Ampero has become a striking force in the game.

In the past, digital multi effects in general were criticized by the public, saying that they produce a dull, lifeless sound. Our aspiration is to eliminate this stereotype and devote our best efforts to make it sound authentic and genuinely feel like what you would perceive from a real amplifier. Based on decades of research and empirical practice in the field of digital modelling algorithms, the Hotone team is able to unveil and unbox the ultimate weapon - CDCM HD + F.I.R.E modelling technology, a combination and recreation to the mainstream white box and black box modelling technologies. This technology models every component of the original device, building a model that tracks the dynamic variations of the instrument’s input signal, which maximizes the capability for the reproduction of the exact sound characteristics of the modeled object, delivering a more dynamic, deep, in-the-moment tonal feel. International professional musicians who have embraced this technology are enamored by how live play becomes so unbelievably realistic.

Tri-core platform, new station for signal processing.
Ampero II Stomp implements the brand new tri-core digital platform and independent AD/DA from the ESS® Sabre® Series, combined with our more advanced CDCM HD and F.I.R.E modeling technology, creating more musically dynamic and vivid tones.

Dual effects chain, more tonal variations.
Ampero II Stomp introduces a highly customizable dual effects chain supporting multiple serial/parallel signal routing,
up to 12 effects modules can be used simultaneously. Try it as you see fit.

8-in/8-out audio interface, new sparks for home recording.
Good news for y’all artists, Ampero II Stomp with the 8-in/8-out USB audio interface function will sure lend you a helping hand. Whether you want to monitor wet and record dry, or record wet and dry at the same time, and of course reamp, which has been a trend, you got it all in Ampero II Stomp.

Glossy touchscreen, smoother navigation.
Ampero II Stomp is imbued with a fresh UI design to make things more accessible. Besides the touchscreen, editing overall settings and switching patches can be also managed with ease.

Improved IR performance, new step for realistic sound.
Ampero II Stomp now supports up to 2048 IR sampling points, doubled up from the previous generation, furthermore reproducing captured cabinets and studio acoustics with precision. To add up, 20 classic Celestion® speaker IRs powered by Celestion® Digital and 50 more custom IR slots will hugely rejuvenate the energy of your music.

Compatible Win/Mac Software.
Connect to your desktop or laptop and launch the editor software, with more specific effects descriptions, more straightforward patch editing and more effective patch management, you’ll find the information you need with ultra-convenience.

Lighter design, welcome “aboard”.
The shape of Ampero II Stomp has transformed and transcended, and now fits perfectly as a stompbox in the pedalboard matrix. By applying both addition and subtraction into our arithmetic, we put a higher build and take out the expression pedal to find that equilibrium spot between portability and practicality.

Richer I/O jacks, please come “in”.
Hello, Stereo In/Out. Now you can pair up with more instruments/pedals/amps. Greetings, Stereo FX Loop. Now the dissatisfaction in Ampero is fixed, and more scenarios can be applied. How are you, EXP/CTRL and MIDI In/Out. Now you get to control the tonal dimension by a lot more good stuff.
