I was looking to purchase a modeling pedal and found Steve's demos on TH-cam. Steve has a great selection of pedals and reviews and an excellent source of tutorials and demos for all of them. I contacted him, and I explained what I was looking for, and he suggested I watch his videos to help guide my choice. This level of service is what added an exceptional value to my purchase from ThePedalGuy. It arrived in perfect condition and was just what I expected. The customer service and communication for my purchase were excellent, and the price was more than competitive - so shame on you if you don't support his channel and purchase somewhere else. I highly recommend this company and will be doing more business with them in the future. Customer Service followup After a few days of playing on my unit (The Ampero) I had questions on the looping and drum machine, so I contacted him. The next day he sent me the link to this video. Wow, thank you, Steve, for your time, just buy your gear from this guy!
Wow Dave. Thank you so much for the kind words and review. I’m glad you like the video and look forward to hearing more about your adventures with the Ampero.
After nearly a year with my Ampero, I really love this thing. The updates they’ve done since I bought it are great. I can dial in any sound I’m feeling like playing if I take my time with it. I gotten to be a connoisseur of cleans and slightly gritty old rock sounds with this thing. It will do screaming high gain tight sounds for modern metal, but so many demos out there don’t do this thing justice on how well it does vintage sounds. Great dynamic response on guitar volume and picking strength too. Best money I’ve spent on a modeler in such a compact unit and easy to take with me to jam with friends. I run into a 12” FRFR and use the XLR out. It’s a blast. I got a hand wired custom plexi clone, 2/12 Marshall vertical slant cab and a nice three channel tube preamp from AMT plus a two notes Torpedo CAB M. The Ampero keeps up in tones to it. Just really versatile. Now I’ll try out the looper after this video. I think it’s the best value modeler out there with as many features as it has. Enjoy your Ampero dude. It’s been solid in performance the entire time. 😎
@@vondragonnoggin I am happy to see the Ampero community expanding and hope more people share their presets and tips. I have a Custom Soldano preset for my Ampero which really shows just what this unit can do. I also purchased the NUX MG 300 and it is a great little unit to just jam with and a great value at the price. The looper and drum machine are very easy to use.
The absence of an UNDO button made me buy an external looper. I asked Hotone if they were going to add this function to the looper in next firmware updates, they simply said no.
i beleive this video at 7:35 shows that you can get a midi pedal to delete the recorded loop quick & easy th-cam.com/video/HsCeA8vdi84/w-d-xo.html your thoughts?
I never use it because unless you put the unit on the floor to trigger the record with you foot ,there is noway to have a clean start. They should have include a pre-roll to let you use the looper in a desktop configuration.
@@ThePedalGuy you play an open chord, press down the exression pedal (Boss ME 25) and it holds the open chord. Then you can play over this chord. Sorry for my english....th-cam.com/video/FD1qpSyseTA/w-d-xo.html
Not sure what you mean. If you have recorded a loop with effects applied, then no. If not, then you can exit the looper (while it's still playing) and turn off/on effect.
Hi there man. Can the looper be deactivated? Playing live 2 or 3 times, I pushed the 2 buttons unintentionally and the looper got activated without really wanting to use that feature. I don't use that live, so I would like to deactivate the possibility. Thanks in advance.
Can be a Useful external switch but looks like an afterthought for a design goof because they forgot to put those switches on the board to begin with. Plus without the led , they look like a handyman made them .
Really helpful video, thanks. Question: When exiting looper mode (after setting up the switches to use the looper) do the fooswitches revert back to the standard bank and patch modes automatically, or does that it have to be manually reset?
hey can you record the dry signal seperate from the wet signal seprately with using the build in soundcard? I want to use my higher end soundcard rather than amperos
Pretty lame on my model ampero one, that after you record a rhythm track then you record a lead you can't just delete the lead it deletes all the loops.

@@ThePedalGuy actually confirmed in this video at 4:40 you can delete the loop with just the ampero
th-cam.com/video/3BrmOH2NvDg/w-d-xo.html
Is there such a function on mooer for example? Or Line6?
I'll never understand why all these Effects Processors choose the useless Reverse and 1/2 speed over Undo/Redo
Really interesting and useful, thank you.
You’re welcome

Great! very interesting!
Thanks.
all of the overdubs are affected by the same preset sound? or can you use different patches on the overdubs?
Hi, can l clear a loop on the fly to create a new loop within the same song without the annoying 1 sec playback that other pedals do?
Unfortunately no
Is there a freeze function in the ampero? My Boss ME 25 has it.
Do you mean freeze an effect or the looper?

@@Tina-xc2pq ok I understand. Not that I’m aware of however that’s what the phrase looper is for.
Can you teach how to use it PDL pitch
Hi, can you add a count-in for the, looper? As in 4 clicks before it starts recording?
Thanks for your question. As far as I know it does not
Is it possible to switch effects on/off while you are in looper? Or is it still playing a loop when you go out of looper?
Not sure what you mean. If you have recorded a loop with effects applied, then no. If not, then you can exit the looper (while it's still playing) and turn off/on effect.
really beautiful, clean bandwidth...Scott, does this receive/generate midiclock/commands?
I haven’t looked into that yet but I would bet likely doesn’t as it’s a pretty basic looper. But I will check.
@@ThePedalGuy gorgeous pedal, still
@@KenRubenstein absolutely. It’s a great pedal and we sell a ton of them.
Is it possible to connect external looper pedal with this unit?
Sure. It won't sync with the Ampero, but you can certainly place a looper at the start of the signal chain.

They revert back to their standard assignments
@@ThePedalGuy Thanks so much for that quick reply, cool!
does this syncs to your DAWs BPM via midi so gtr loops stay in sync with daw live track?
Haven’t tried that yet.
@@ThePedalGuy could you please keep me posted if you do try this

Can the loop function use 2 different rhythms in the same song ？
Not that I'm aware of.
