    The Ampero Stomp 2 is massively slept on. I think it hangs with the Quad Cortex just fine. FX aren't quite on Axe FX level IMO, but some of them are gold. Also the Stomp 2 has this feel thing going on, it feels good under the fingers, something a lot of modelers dont give you. I love mine!

      Totally agree with you..I had my eye on the Quad for the longest time but I thought I'd give the ampero2 a go before committing...so glad I did. Leaves no itch to scratch for me...tone, FEEL, usability..its got it all. ive AB'd against valves in the room and honestly its left me wondering if digital has finally caught up. Converted...I'm a true believer.Well done Hotone!

    I got this unit last week after hearing and watching many YT vids. It is an EXCELLENT unit!!! I have the Helix LT and still love that too, but this unit is just as good and some amps are even better then the Helix models. The effects are killer too. I use this Ampero with a tube power amp and real 2x12 cabinet w/V30s. I am not a fan of any cab or IRs sims.

    Ahh, your killing me. Wanted that sooo bad! Needed a 4cm/Midi amp/fx unit but had to settle on a Line 6 POD HD Pro X for $250. My EVH 50w and Crate BV120H needed it as my ENGL Fireball 60 gets my best rack gear. Really wanted the Savage 120, MK4, MKII C+ amp sims. All tho Line 6 Nailed the Fireball 100 sooo... Happy w/ the Pro X being Rack and all it does FX wise is crazy and will always have a place in my rack when done w/ it's 4CM duties. Hope for a Ampero II in the future. Great video!

      @alexchejlyk7764 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@rodrigomartins9692 The Helix is an amazing piece of gear. I was able to get really good sounds after some tweaking. High and low cut were necessary to make it sound less sterile and fizzy. The A2S is much easier to get a good sound out of and it 'feels' better under my fingers. The Helix has better pitch shifting, but it took a few updates to get there. Overall, I prefer the A2S, but that is a personal preference and I know Line6 is really good at updating the Helix.

    Thanks for doing this video. You sound good through the Ampero II which definitely seems like its worth checking out. I like the user interface. I have all the original boxes from the 1980's and 1990's, but am looking to downsize always because session work these days means being willing to travel, when necessary. This is what Eventide and Strymon and Fractal should be making. Its also a sign of things to come. Do you think the effects in the Ampero sound as good as the effects in the H90 or Fractal Audio Axe-Fx units? Or, do you think they are closer to the quality of what's in the Line 6 HX Stomp or worse?
    Curiously, what pickups do you have in your Tyler guitar here Michael? Looks like the Seymour Duncan Hot Stacks in the middle and neck, if I'm not mistaken. I'm interested to hear what bridge humbucker you paired with those if they are indeed what's in there. I have Hot Stacks in one of my Strats and haven't yet found the right humbucker to pair with them, though have tried a few.

    Hi Michael I'm running a pod X3 Live into a HX effects linked to a Fractal Axe FX then on the second channel a Strymon ...got the outputs of them into two Kemper racks which are running through a Tascam desk into 2 Bugera 333 Amps after that am going into the Joyo Cab X2 sending both signals back out into the HX Effects effects loop which is linked to an old Marshall preamp which is running into a pair of headrushes ...
    Finding every tone I try and create just sounds muddy .... Was thinking maybe adding a Ho-tone on the end of it with that chorus effect may clean my sound up a bit what do you think

    Hi excellent video, just looking the ampero for using in that way, since I have a UAFX Dream 65 that is awesome, I want a complete fx units only for that. My question is how does the send and return of the ampero? I read that other units like the pod go have problems with levels, my idea is put the Dream 65 in the loop to put FX in front (noise gates, compressors, eqs) and mod, delays and reverbs at the end. Thank you very much!!!! by the way the UAFX Dream 65 is incredible, the feeling and sound possibilities absolutely recommend it!

    Did most 80's racks put chorus and delay between pre and power or after cab? Any live performances then would most likely have implemented the loop scenario I would think. For sure the tones you are getting are amazing but would be interested in your take on how it sounds in loop v post eq. Great video man!

    • @BigHairyGuitars
      @BigHairyGuitars  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      It really depends on the era. Live Lukather and most of the big rack guys (mid to later 80’s) had the FX between the preamp and power amp, and had FX in their speakers.
      By the mid 90’s guys were getting more tricky and doing wet dry, or mixing their cab and routing back into FX.
      Early 80’s were more of a maverick approach of whatever works

    My struggle is with trying the in ears and such due to doing things a certain way(Old school wedges like tanks!). We have a loud bass player, and since he’s not a fan of in ears, there is gonna be some volume issues I assume. So, I struggle to figure out due to being older and needing less weighty options, what kind of powered option, or floor into the in ears and hope for the best?
    Help a fellow musician out with some advice. I can use digital stuff, so it doesn’t scare me….but there are no more powered options that I think are worthy of stage other than maybe a Kemper? 600rms?

    So Michael, I'm trying to figure an issue I'm having and I wonder if you have any ideas. It concerns my Sennheiser wireless. I'm using an Axe FX3, in 4CM, a KSR Colossus, and a BOSS WAZA TAE. So this is where I'm at: using the WAZA and a guitar cable no problems. Go from guitar cable to wireless, ridiculous levels of high pitched squealing, and having to adjust drive effects to the point where they're of no use. If I use the WAZA but take out the front end part of the 4CM...no issues with the wireless. Take out the WAZA and I can use the wireless with no issues at all...4CM, drives as they should be, no squealing. Have you ever encountered anything like this? Any ideas? All suggestions gratefully received. Thanks, Michael.

    I am not into the modeling stuff. But, this thing will really make my pedal board more rack like. I hate bending down to change annything. I prefer presets to knob twiddling. I plan to put my delays and Eventide Pitch Factor in the stereo fx loop. To do parallel for some things and default series. Use addirional delays and modulations. I got IRs covrered and 2 Reverbs: Digtech Polara for Plate Reverb. Eventide Black Hole for Gianormous Reverbs. I am excited that this will work for me perfected and it doesn't cost too much.

      Boss GT1000 vs Ampero 2?

  • @joeywilder9708
    @joeywilder9708 ปีที่แล้ว

    I’ve been pondering for a while how to run my boss dd200 in a stereo configuration with my interface. It’s an Apollo twin and I’m using the BE 100 deluxe with the captor x. Where and how could I place the pedal in the chain to achieve this?

    Seems like a very cool unit. From a quick google, I'm seeing it more in the $450-499 retail range, so may take a little legwork (meaning a couple minutes, lol) to find it at the referenced $429 price at the end of the video.

    I bought one with high hopes. It delivered on many fronts but not enough to keep it. I now have a FM9 Turbo and it is worlds better. That said, for the $450 I paid, it was "good." The UI is very simple- but still very good. Simple in what it can do- you still have many options but nothing like Fractal- really nothing. The form factor was better. The cleans with some effects actually sounded good.
    The deal breakers...
    The looper cannot change during overdubs without changing the original part- no good at all. That said, the display of the looper was awesome. The touchscreen was great and it locked (very important feature so a cable does not change the screen.) Other than some basic cabs and light effects that were decent.
    It ran out of DSP quickly and did not have the depth of effects tons of more expensive competitors but again, for the price, it is a great back up unit- especially if you play a lot of clean stuff including acoustic which sounded quite good.
    I heard they are not particularly reliable long term- some have bricked after 2 years so buy the warranty- 3+ years.
    When the Ampero III comes out, maybe this year, it should be great for around $500- again as a back up unit. Optionally, a lightly used FM3 would still be better in many tonal ways and only a few hundred more. With the Fractal stuff the UI is just ok so you will want to use the desktop editor most of the time. The editor is very robust. The effects are far better and more I/O as well. Pro level gear- especially at the FM9 T trim and above. You won't run out of DSP quickly so you can double amp, etc. FM9 also has 6 more footswitches which is very useful. Now, in FM9 they just added a zoom tool for larger fonts which is great and a really nice SET LIST feature. You can list all your tunes and pull up all the presets across all 9 switches- makes playing songs a breeze. You can focus on the song and less on the modeler.

      Correct. If I was going to mix the cab, then I would either run mono in the FX loop, OR I’d apply the FX by putting it into a loop in my recording interface. Basically post, but if I was going to do that, I’d probably just use plugins.

    How do you pronounce Hotone? Ho-Tone? or Hot-One? I know where you're coming from. I have a Quad Cortex as well as fancy pedals like the T Rex Replicator D'lux, etc.,I have a Fender practice amp but finding out that I need a FRFR amp. Otherwise I just play through my Zoom LiveTrak L20 via monitors or headphones. But headphones get to be a drag and then I feel the need to crank up once in awhile.

  • @kalebproductions9316
    @kalebproductions9316 ปีที่แล้ว

    Latency? Does the latency increment as more effects are added? With analog effects there’s essentially no latency, the latency inherent in the speed that electricity moves in wires, about half the speed of light, which is 100% unnoticeable. With audio processing with a DSP there’s far more. It’s subjective but I would say about 6 milliseconds is usable, more is definitely noticeable. If you chain more than one, with separate units, then you are incrementing the latency. Do multi-effects units provide multiple effects without incrementing the latency? If so then that’s a good thing. As computers get faster, that latency goes down but it’s a law of diminishing returns.
