This is a GOOD 1! The amp sims sound really authentic, esp the OD sounds! They don't sound harsh and synthetic like a lot of these things do. They sound LIKE real amps, which is GREAT! Many of these kinds of units do EFFECTS well, and clean amp sounds well, but soon as you get into the od sounds they sound so processed. This, otoh does not! Good stuff Shano! \m/
Great playing Shane, you’re on fire today. First 3 minutes burned! Hope you don’t mind if I steal a few moves. Don’t worry, if anyone asks I’ll tell them I got those moves from you.
A couple notes: A cool feature is that it runs at 9 v which means you can use a normal pedal power supply. Second, is that the expression pedal can be both a volume pedal and then control another parameter (like wah) by using the pressure sensor on the pedal. Sweet video!
I am digging my original Ampero. I would miss the extra footswitch and the parameter knobs. I really like that I can configure the parameter knobs to be whatever I want in each patch.
I finally pulled the trigger and bought this. I LOVE it. I'm not a blues guy (I'm mostly about shoegaze, post-punk, and new wave). For the music I make, many of the stock presets are pretty phenomenal right out of the gate. Most of the stock dirty presets need some fine tuning to make them work, but what do you really expect for a ~$300 modeller? I'm still learning the ins and outs of this guy, but it's really cool. Love the Stoned Psycho preset, as well as the Narrowed Vision, Galaxy Rover, and Panned Horror presets. EDIT: also LOVE that Les Paul, Shane!
Enjoyed the video Shane, one of best one's on this unit IMO. One disappointment for me, and all the other reviewers miss it as well; there's a bunch of acoustic simulations in that unit as well. I've been dying to hear what they sound like. I'm considering a hybrid guitar to get some half-way decent acoustic sounds. But if I can get by without buying a new guitar... Just saying (well, asking) 😁
I dialed one in and my girlfriend came into the room and wondered how I was playing my acoustic since it was still in the bedroom. That said it's not going to sound or feel like a vintage Martin..
I usually gig with an acoustic but after getting this pedal I may use it with my electric instead of bringing my acoustic. The dreadnaught and jumbo acoustic presets are great. They sound more like a mic/piezo pickup sound. There are some new fender acoustisonic ones that are okay but not great. It is bang on to mic’s up acoustics or piezo acoustics for the corresponding presets. Hope this helps!
Nice Vid Shane! In my opinion there’s not enough switches, I like to use them more like Stomp Boxes instead of Programming Presets. Too many variables to have to play with Live. Looks like it would work well though for Astudio work. Please keep up the Good Work! Stay Safe and Healthy! Cheers from Ohio, US!!
Jon D'oh When you start making your sole living as a musician please let me know! I’ve done so probably since you were in diapers. But thanks for the Reply.....Genius!!! The Unit would probably work ok for Studio Work but I use a Line 6 HX Unit if I need it in a Studio. Although I guess since I’m such a Genius I really don’t need much programmable units in a Studio since all Studios I’ve worked in Allow me the option to use what ever rig I choose. Have a Great Day man.
I would easily recommend Hotone products. I have 3 of the Legacy series. They hold there value too, which was tricky to find the trinity (tweed, vox, plexi) on the used market. Their customer service ain’t bad either. This system sounds incredible! I like the looks of the interface. Very well done. The device itself is simple and seems to have a great layout. Thanks for showing it off @intheblues. It was a really enjoyable review!
So let me guess....U got that free right? Did customer service get better? Is the drum machine and tuner better than the Hotone ampero? Did they fix the edit problems that the Hotone Ampero had?
Great video Shane.I was looking into getting either the Ampero One or the 4 button Ampero.I'm really an ole school player and I got the feeling you didn't care for the Ampero straight into your amp.I would be using it this way and not into a computer,though I also do own the FRFR Headrush 108 as an option.Your thoughts on running it straight to a clean amp? Thx Shane!
I guess this is the little brother of the Ampero? At $499 US, the Ampero has some stiff competition in the new Line 6 POD GO ($449 US). I think The POD GO might be a better choice for many buyers. But the Ampero One, at $299 US has a place in the market. And typically, the presets in devices like this suck. But the few you demo'd sounded good - which will appeal to buyers who don't want to tweak all day.
Looks like it's the little brother, but Shane says it has a faster processor... to see if this makes a real difference, I have no idea. I like my original Ampero :)
Alrighty thanks. I emailed them to ask about assigning the wah to something other than FX1 but I had no luck doing so. I will try it again tomorrow. Cheers! :)
Yes, as a matter of fact, I assign FS1 to turn on FX2, FS2 to FX3, and CTRL to do whatever I want. Then FX1 is free for a wah to be activated by the toe switch. The limitation in firmware v2.0 is that FS1 and 2 assigments to FX[123] are GLOBAL settings. CTRL assignment is per patch. I think they don't remove this frankly silly limitation to make space for the original ampero. Since FXs can be moved in the chain, that still leaves you plenty of options.
Damn.. That sounds good. Between this and mooer multiFX units.. Which one do you prefer in terms of sound quality and functionality ? I'm asking because I remember watching a bunch of your reviews on mooer units.
This is about the same in terms of usability and overall sound. They are all somewhat similar in their design but this is one of the few with a touchscreen. It all comes down to how many effects you want to chain together. The bigger the board usually, the more effects you can add. :)
Sorry, but I don't like this review at all. Most of the reviews of these pedals on youtube channels are like commercial advertisements. None of the review covers the problems - or limitations - this pedal has. Almost the entire space of the review is focused on amps and how good they are; very little time spent talking about the effects and their quality. The effects appear to be the weak point of this "pedal", as well as the management of their number and order in the signal chain.
How about the drum machine and the looper, do you prefer this or the Mooer GE200? I am undecided between these 2 pedalboards to practice at home, I am a beginner.
I got one for Christmas It’s definitely got lots of mids to high mids Distortion in the Ampero are harsh almost brittle sounding I think this pedal is more suited for low tuning Like drop c Ext. …..definitely cuts through and sounds way better the low tuning brings the smooth bass sound that you can’t get no matter how much you play with eq or mic global eq etc …….. But just regular tunings fore me at least no it lacks that smooth warmth
9.23 Reminiscent of some Pat Metheny (and that’s not a bad thing. Amelia by Joni Mitchell, eg from Shadows and Light, featuring a tasty solo by PM, is one of my fave songs). An interesting digression from a BluesMan! Nice playing, Shane!
After sifting through all the multi-effects pedals in this price range I do admit I'm liking what I hear with this Ampero model but I have one concern that keeps being repeated about it; the inability to either switch effects on/off on the fly or to do the same from one patch/preset to another. Am I wrong with this observation?
The ouputs are unbalanced, so if your cable run is short enough, I see no problem going straight to the board, but if you need to feed an XLR balanced input, then yes, you need a DI.
I have an idea for you. I always see amp comparisons. I currently have a katana 100, mustang gt100, code 50, and marshall dsl 20 head. I like combining signals even running all 4 at the same time different pedals and so on. That would be good to see. I have all 4 going to a radial shotgun then hook to a headphone amplifier so I can use one set of headphones. Also redid pedal board with a temple audio board.
Most of the presets that you tried sounded pretty good, except for that awful fuzz. But I suppose you maybe could dial it in a bit better. It's definitely a set and forget style of pedal - be a nightmare to try and change anything on the fly playing live. I do like the touch screen option, just not enough controls to grab a hold of to tweak.
does anyone know how can you disable the ability which disable the exp pedal when you push the exp pedal on 100% i tried to calibrate it but still it get disabled if i push a little bit too hard
there is a -6db difference between the 2 because the ampero one uses less power so less db there is no midi and couple of outputs + on and off switch, so if you dont need those then this is a good option also you get to change banks with individual switches in the new one, unlike the old one
Very cool yet do I need an interface or is this USB c or such. Really loving your recording info for those at home and in Australia. Just have to track one down or one of the California or America pedals. Cheers Mate. Should I go focus rite for interface or money saver any ideas be great. Using Mac so have thunderbolt or USB C and logic x pro. Looking at cannabis Rex replace for my fender blues jnr. 👍😎🇦🇺
The One runs off of 9v and the Ampero runs off 18v. The one is missing a few outputs and the ground lift, but the 9v input on the One sold me as I run my pedals off power banks into a Yamaha THR 30ii for a portable system.
Nice demo Shane. I love that Les Paul! Have to say I prefer the Mooer GE200/250/300’s you demo’d a while back. Any chance you could include a quick lesson on a lick or riff you use in each demo. You have some cool stuff to share!
So if, im looking for an amp to go with this for home use. What is the best amp to run this through that has larger speaker and effect return. I want the loop, drum machine function, and then the preamp amp mods, effect section to keep my cost down. Or for basic home use is there a simpler way. No vocal at this stage, but that maybe some thing i do latter.
I’d love to hear it live in a band setting. The less expensive multi effect units always sound like great recordings of guitar tone, but in a band setting, sound like they have an amp with a blanket thrown over it...kind of dull and lifeless.
A really love my original Ampero. It sounds very organic and feels much more realistic to me than the Mooer GE200 that I owned previously. The Mooer sounds great eapecially the high gain amps but it feels very stiff (no sag). I find the Ampero closer to my real tube amps.
What is the real difference between the original Ampero and the Ampero One? Unless I missed it, Shane didn't really get into it. Sweetwater only has the Ampero, not the Ampero One.
@@Marc_Dehning I did. It can be done on the unit. However I sold it as I found the software to be terrible. For instance to upgrade to a new version you have to down load and install every version of the software until you get to the latest version. So buying it new means a lot of down loading. Other aspects of the unit I did not like as well. But to each his own.
Hi, I would have liked to hear it in stereo.I noticed that you plugged into the mono output which is meant to go to your amp. And then you miked the amp, and that's what we're hearing. That's fine. But if I want to go directly into the desk, then I would of course use both outputs for an amzing stereo sound. Then the Ampero really shines. But anyway, thank's for the lesson. (Maybe you can do another one in stereo...?)
How does this compare to the nux mg 30 in terms of amp simulation (specially the fender and marshall amps),audio depth quality of reverbs and modulation ?? Plz tell
I believe @Nick in the States summed it up perfectly in the live chat: Excellent video, great pedal, I don’t really need it buy I want one!!😆😆🤣 The crazy thing is it was that synth preset that I really felt could be used to layer unique tones and vibes to a track. Crazy how something outside the norm can really open up creativity! I do remember enjoying the previous Ampero model and I feel like Hotone makes a great alternative to the Headrush or the Line 6 Helix as far as price. Great video Shane! Cheers!🎸🎸🎸🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
Can the unit work as a stomp box mode? I mean, can you assign effects to each switch and turn them on and off individually while you're running the amp simulation? Great video btw.
The tones in the intro clips are custom presets that I made for the video. Please let me know what you think! 😀

The best thing about Hotone is the way they’ve really nailed a natural distortion sound. So many others fall down on this (Line 6, for example!)
This is a GOOD 1! The amp sims sound really authentic, esp the OD sounds! They don't sound harsh and synthetic like a lot of these things do. They sound LIKE real amps, which is GREAT!

can it be powered by plugging into your phone or a usb port?

Nice demo and review mate ! Sounds good but, I don't do menus so it's not for me !😎🎸
Just bought one before u premiered. Hahahah
Metallica , eddy Van halen ... Sound.
This or the mg30?
some of those crunch tones sound fantastic ..
As I said a few months ago, I decided to lost my dreams about playing the guitar.
After watching this, I know I was right.
Guitar is about having fun and improving over time. Keep at it.
The Tone profile for the Gibson lead was a beast, great job bringing on some Claptonesque tones.
The name of that company has always made me scratch my head... Ho-Tone? Hot-One? Hot Tone? wtf people?
It's Chinese
They have an aversion to hyphens it seems. Should be Hot-One. Nux, same thing: NU-X.
My friend, do you think that It is a good solution for effects and Boost volume to run It into the Marshall DSL40CR?
Sounds good, I think I like it better than the POD Go. Nice review and playing.

Do they need a dibox to put straight into a mixer

how many custom tones can you save? im glad hot ones finally came up i with music gear =D

Hi can I use it with other pedals using the expression plugins?
What abouut gigs with this stuff?
I wouldn't use these for gigs. If you need to adjust something fast, it's not as functional.
Thanks for the video!
I had just bought the ampero a few months ago. What do you see the difference between the the new version vs the old?
This is a smaller and more compact option. It also has a faster processor but I am not sure it matters that much.

Thanks. I like the old version so far. I’m more of a plug in and play so there’s a lot more exploring I need to do.
And now the buzz is totally gone, but the guitar is completely on. ← What a great line
Always thought it was “whole-toe-nay”, and thought it was a Japanese company
My favorite ;)
How do you power it off?
You should get a commission...buying one this week. Thanks !
Hi Shane. Just wanted to let you know that the Sweetwater link goes to the old Ampero instead of the new Ampero One.
Very cool yet do I need an interface or is this USB c or such. Really loving your recording info for those at home and in Australia.

What's the difference between the original Ampero and the Ampero One? (besides one less footswitch).
The One runs off of 9v and the Ampero runs off 18v. The one is missing a few outputs and the ground lift, but the 9v input on the One sold me as I run my pedals off power banks into a Yamaha THR 30ii for a portable system.
Great video, thinking on investing in one of these or the Mooer GE300. I'm a lefty too and it still doesn't look right watching a fellow lefty play :D
A touchscreen? OMG!! 🤤🤤😱😱
Nice little unit. These are becoming more and more popular.
Great Video Shane, How does it compare with the Mooer ge series and the original Ampero. Cheers .
Does this do stomp box mode like the POD GO?
Can I use this to play guitar without an amp by connecting it directly to my speaker?
You sure can. Just got mine today loving it
Great vid! This is at a good price point as well. Thanks Shane!!!!!
Nice demo Shane. I love that Les Paul! Have to say I prefer the Mooer GE200/250/300’s you demo’d a while back. Any chance you could include a quick lesson on a lick or riff you use in each demo. You have some cool stuff to share!
Pickups?
So if, im looking for an amp to go with this for home use. What is the best amp to run this through that has larger speaker and effect return. I want the loop, drum machine function, and then the preamp amp mods, effect section to keep my cost down. Or for basic home use is there a simpler way.

Just get a nice smaller solid state amp. That way you can accurately emulate the amps and cabs in the pedal without coloration.
Nice 👍😎
I detect a bit of Chris Cain's influence at 0:34 :)
I’d love to hear it live in a band setting. The less expensive multi effect units always sound like great recordings of guitar tone, but in a band setting, sound like they have an amp with a blanket thrown over it...kind of dull and lifeless.
Yeah, geared toward HIFI reproduction, not the limited spectrum of a guitar amp!
Thx Shane. Great vid.

Great demo! I've ordered one.
Can you do the 4 cable method with it???
Since there are no FX loop inputs and outputs in this unit, you can't.
👍
GREAT REVIEW MATE, AWESOME UNIT
How does this compare with the Line 6 Pod Go?
I haven't tried the Pod Go so I am not too sure.
How did u assign the buttons for specific pedal? It keeps going up or down the patches if i press them
It's in the menu. It took me a while to work it out. I found the info in the user manual.
@@intheblues alrite thanks...great review
Do you have to use the software to assign the foot switches or can it be done on the actual unit. Thanks for your time.

I believe @Nick in the States summed it up perfectly in the live chat: Excellent video, great pedal, I don’t really need it buy I want one!!😆😆🤣 The crazy thing is it was that synth preset that I really felt could be used to layer unique tones and vibes to a track. Crazy how something outside the norm can really open up creativity! I do remember enjoying the previous Ampero model and I feel like Hotone makes a great alternative to the Headrush or the Line 6 Helix as far as price. Great video Shane! Cheers!🎸🎸🎸🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
Maybe if I had a computer I would have got this, but without that it's not easy for me to fish sounds out.
It's very easy to use the screen.
Sounds like a spider haha
Can the unit work as a stomp box mode? I mean, can you assign effects to each switch and turn them on and off individually while you're running the amp simulation? Great video btw.
Yes but don't try it on a long press setting use momentary or you'll briefly switch patches too...
