- For my Presets visit: johnnathancordy.gumroad.com/ The HoTone Ampero Stomp isn't perfect - but it gets some things REALLY right. In particular, some of the stuff in the Editor I think some other companies should really take note of how they've made things helpful for the user....Credit where it's due!

Just have to mention on behalf of all us obsessive guitar nerds: the rate of your content creation is inspiring!
It is literally stupefying how much quality music he comes up with on a DAILY basis... And did you see the video on how he does the drums? He programs them on the Piano Roll... EVERY DAY at least two videos with music and drums that sound right for the track, plus the playing and improv... Seriously inspiring without being daunting somehow. Makes you want to play and do it yourself rather than quit in frustration LOL.
Hey John, Thank you for the help with the Ampero II Stomp. I really appreciate it. I am using your settings tonight at a Restaurant gig!!!! Thanks again
Just got my hand on one of these. Had a HX Stomp in the past but this surpasses it in my view in almost very way. The foot switching and scenes are really the biggest issues. They are limited but I feel they could be fixed. This is where the Stomp comes out on top.
But the routing options and quality of the effects and amps is really top drawer.
Your videos are fantastic John. I am hooked! You’ve really helped me understand modellers 👍
It's very satisfying when the Computer Editor Interface is in harmony with how the User logically thinks about the Components and Parameters. It also makes remembering what you did, and how changes in the settings give you the resulting tone. The graphic representation of the Amps, Pedals, Speakers, Mics, Knobs, etc. looks like it makes navigating the Parameters much easier and faster. I wish the Line 6 Editor looked more like this. The Fractal Editor, though more graphical, looks overwhelming to me. The HotOne look like they've found a happy medium between the two.
I like having the information about the different pieces of gear right at your fingertips, and should be a big timesaver for Users who are unfamiliar with some of the items being modelled. The sounds right out of the box are good and usable, but there is much more distracting background noise than I've heard on any of the other Modelers you've demoed. Maybe a Noise Gate needs to be engaged. How many blocks can be run simultaneously, and can they be in any order?
The constant "disconnecting" from the Unit and "reloading" is obviously something that needs to be addressed.
Thanks
That intro was sweet as hell bro!
always love seeing this thing pop up. i really wanted to get one but decided to go full helix. there use to be a mod that changed the names of everything in the helix but i don't think it works anymore.
I thought the original Ampero had way better Fender cleans and spring reverb than most of the other hardware modellers (Boss, Helix, Headrush, Axe), and this sounds even better. Great playing and overview. Thanks.
I have a Valeton GP-100 that had the same software disconnection problems until I replaced their supplied USB cable with another one (a standard USB printer cable).
I really like that editor. And it seems to sound good from what I can tell. Is there a way to tell how you’re doing in terms of CPU usage?
Interesting - the Barber Direct Drive was my favorite OD back in the day... anyway great channel a. nice tunes man!
Hi Jonathan! What's your opinion about the quality of the effects compared to the HX Stom? I feel like the delays on the Ampero have more top end and more fidelity.
I was using a Line 6 Helix rack. Wanted to downsize and go the HX Stomp XL. In short, they say its the same sound, but it's not the same.
Hotone II Stomp arrived today and it's fan-fudging-tastic.
This intro is beautiful
Could you explore a bit the pre amp/power amp function of the ampero? It’s quite rare as a feature, as far as I know at least. But it could be a really could option to build a custom amp with a Roland JC preamp and let’s say a JTM45 power amp (something that line6 used to do back then…). Thanks mate
Listen again qnd again! What a pitty what it was short! Very sweat playing!
Sorry to see that you're having disconnection issues with the software. That's one thing I REALLY want them to work on. The software. It has so much potential and with a few refinements it could be one of the top small-footprint modellers. The footswitching functions should be completely copied from the Helix products, it's so versatile so why not just do the same thing when it's so much better? (maybe software IP legal issues?). Another major section they need to work on is DSP optimisation and latency improvements. Leo Gibson recently did a test and found the Ampero 2's cab sim generates 10ms of latency compared to the IR block which generates 5ms of latency. So optimisation is clearly needed.
You're videos are going to help make the Ampero 2 a better modeller because it's in dire need of publicity. Seriously, thank you.
I agree, the Latency is a big concern. I also saw Leo Gibson Latency Comparison of 23 Modelers, and the HoTone's did not perform well. That's something they have to fix.
10ms aint too bad though all things considering how much cheaper this is, and yeah its got drawbacks but if people keep buying them, they can keep improving them.
@@alvarg Recent firmware improved the latency by a decent margin. I agree with you though. It doesn't need that much doing to it, just a bit of polish and it will be a really good option for a lot of people.
Very cool! Do you have John Mayer preset for ampero Stomp 2?
Great run through! Being a big hx stomp guy, is there anything else you would say this modeller is lacking in when compared to the hx stomp?
The lack of scene/snapshot is for sure the biggest weakness at this price point
Could you make a video with ampero 2 and analog pedals?
Is this true that it is the only modeler where I can in amp detach preamp from power amp and speaker so I could use my external vacuum tube preamp and in Ampero use only power amp, speaker IR and effects?
Thx
Please tell me if you can just move presets by dragging them or selecting the number it should be on instead of having to copy and paste them and lose one preset like in the past hotone products.
is there an actual "virtual capo" block in that pedal? i have the first ampero and it has only a couple (and very poorly executed) pitch shifting effects and i am thinking of selling it and getting the II if i can use it to detune. would you say that it has this and that it's actually usable?
I’ll consider buying the ampero II stomp only after they fix the latency and patch change speeds in future firmware
That's fixed
can you turn effects on and off with the foot switches on the ampero
I bought one of these and it was my first real foray into the multi-effects/amp modelling combo world. I've used a Positive Grid BIAS Head which was great but not as convenient as an all-in-one package like this. I'm hard pressed to see what else I could want apart from more processing power, and maybe the ability to save Loops. It was dead simple to dial in great guitar and bass tones, and as you point out, the software editor is first rate (the touchscreen is no slouch either). Considering the price, Hotone have knocked it out of the park.
Jamie... does the effects library have a reverse delay , glitch delay and reverse reverb? Cheers
@@keithb5612 It has a low fi delay with a bitcrusher, and a reverse delay but I couldn't find a reverse reverb.
@@jamiebooth9170 Many thanks Jamie. Much appreciated.
@@keithb5612 No worries mate
Can i record with mobile (android) ? I have app audio evolution in mobile or use record with pc , notebook only ?
Hey JC nice intro track . Seems to me that having the v,u meters as an indication of output volume is an underated feature. I have an MG-30 and I'm surprised how different things sound in headphones vs live through the pa in terms of volume. The vol meters seem to lag a bit though. Still I'd love that in the MG-30. Any one other clues on getting consistent volume across presents?
Stomp 2 you mean!!!!!!
I like that it has meters for input and output.
I wish HX stomp had meters and a search feature for preset names and models.
ampero 2 stage is going to take over the game if they manage to step up the marketing. sounds the best to my ear of all the modeling pedals @ the stage can record at up to 192 khz which should basically eliminate aliasing and reduce latency. might be the first pedal i buy if it can deliver the goods!
The Ampero 2 Stage seems to be exactly the same processor as the Ampero 2 stomp, no?
@@johnnathancordy yes that does seem to be the case but the audio interface on the stomp is limited to use at 44.1 where as the stage says it’s variable up to 192khz although the onboard Effects Digital Audio Signal Processing is still limited to 44.1 so it will only really affect stuff in the daw or mic input quality i guess. I usually export my mix/masters at 192khz
You’re a budget musician’s messiah Jon
Wonder what is the cloud effect équivalent on market.. ?
Big sky?
I just got the pink one. It’s a monster piece of gear for the money. I have the Pod Go and it holds its own.
Hope you can dial out more tones out of it. We can learn how you use it.
I've had one of these for a few weeks and continue to be impressed with the sounds and interface, including the software editor.
I have really only 1 wish for it, and 1 gripe.
The wish - that the footswitches could do something like the Kemper morph, where the same blocks are on but move to different settings. Example in the same patch the amp gain would smoothly change between 2 values. At the same time a drive pedal could also move to different settings, etc.. It would more or less work like "scenes" I guess. If there's a way to do this already I haven't found it.
The gripe - the software editor has to completely reload if we press any footswitch while the editor is open, including Tap Tempo or long pressing 1 to bring up the tuner. What's worse is we have to manually close a window before the refresh even happens. This really needs to be fixed.
I also can't use it as an aggregate device since everything else in my studio runs at 48k for my day job, and the Ampero is 44.1 only. So I miss out on some of the IO options like re-amping and using it to record a DI. But I have other ways of doing that from interfacing with other gear so just using it's analog outs.
That sounds like a lot of griping, but the truth is I'm having a lot of fun with this unit and am using it more than the Kemper these days. I'm really happy I picked it up.
David... Can I ask you... Does the modeller have a glitch type delay, Reverse delay and reverse reverb in its effects library? Many thanks
@@keithb5612 I see a reverse delay but not a glitch delay or reverse reverb.
@@david_farmer Cheers David. Many thanks for that.
Although suddenly not as portable, you should give it a go combined with the HXeffects, that's the best of all worlds in terms of flexibility IMO. Particularly in 4CM.
I can hear a bit of some noise in the circuit in the background. Have you noticed this too? Otherwise, the tones seem very good and at a relatively reasonable $499.99, the price is right.
TOTALLY - I thought it was maybe me? But yeh there's some sort of hissy thing going on? Not usual 50/60cycle hum....
@@johnnathancordy Ok good, not just me. Sometimes if I turn off other electronics, including lights nearby it goes away for me. Especially true if you have dimmer switches and old wiring. Also, when I upgraded my guitar cables it got better. Try touching the connector(s.) When they get good ground, it also tends to improve.
Not sure if I'm missing the joke but out of curiosity a while back I looked up a video showing how companys like to have their names pronounced correctly but the company representative... Hotone is meant to be Hot Tone. But call it what you like. 'Ho' tone is fun
If it was meant to be Hot Tone they missed a letter. So Ho Tone it is. Hot One just doesn’t go anywhere.
The software editor is a straight up copy of HX edit.
no it's not. It's a copy of 2 editors in general. Try checking out boss editor, it's the same. If it works, then no point making something different
Shania lol
