One one hand, you can make almost anything sound good. On the other hand, you’ll take real world-affordable products and show how good they can sound for most because you’re not trying to bowl everyone over with technical playing that’s about YOU, and not the gear.
Thanks for that.
Thank you
You have to be the most wholesome individual on TH-cam. Amazing video!
I doubt that!!! But thanks✌️🤣
One of the best reviews i've seen. You showed something that's non metal haha thankss!
Lol thank you ✌️❤️
Your a trip, man... And, I mean that in a good way. I get a kick out watching your video's. You seem like someone that'd be easy to hang out with and jam with. Have a good one, man...
I appreciate that Thank you✌️❤️
A very thorough and thoughtful video! Thanks, Jonathan!
Thank you!🤓✌
I love watching your reviews! Your playing is always so beautiful
Thank you so much! 🤓✌
Jon: Just stumbled on your review of Hotone and the unit sounds outstanding... YOU PLAYING ON THE SONG IS OUT OF SIGHT!!!! I LISTENED TO THE WHOLE THING WITH GREAT ENJOYMENT!!! Many thanks!!!!
Glad you liked it.. hope you have subbed!! If you have.. welcome to the channel!✌️❤️
of all the videos on this product you give the very best demo of how the unit sounds and used the right way instead of shred noise crap, thank you
Thank you ✌️❤️
Consistent high level of great playing and demonstration. Your presentation style is relaxed and professional. I always learn something if I watch one of your videos. Very useful and informative reviewing. I recommend to others to subscribe. Thanks for taking the time to make this review.
Thank you! 🤓✌
The tone you got for the first demo track was off the scale gorgeous!!! Superb review Jonathan :)
Thank you Hugh! 🤓✌
Thank you so much for starting of with the basics that every working muso wants to know. Changing the patches and banks in real time and how that works. Tons of reviews showing all the sounds etc but no practical informtion on functionality. Good on you. Rock on.
Glad it was helpful!
top 2 things on my list! Hotone Ampero and that gorgeous Harley Benton Fusion II HH EB OCT!!! Great playing and fantastic video as always Jonathan!
Thank you Mark! 🤓✌
Hi Jonathan! Your Videos are amazing and relaxing!
Thank you Mathias! 🤓✌
Great review of this ampero Jon, I’ve saw quite a few reviews of this unit, and no kiddin, yours is the simplest, most through and easy to understand review by far, thank, great job
Glad it was helpful!
@@JonIsJustTooLoud it sure was, thanks
Sounds amazing. And great playing as always, Jonathan
Thank you kindly 🤓✌️
Great video Jonathan! It's nice to see someone who knows how to show off the clean tones of these units. So many multi-FX processors I've used are terrible at clean tones. I'm glad to see this one really excels at the clean tones as well as distortions and other FX.
thank you
Awesome review of the ampero ,best one yet great job !
Thanks buddy ✌️🤓
Great soulful playing and perfect review.
Thank you✌️❤️
Man oh Man...Jonathan , what a great player you are.. Thank You for your amazing videos....!!

Superb playing, a most enjoyable experience! Thanks Jonathan I’ve Subscribed!
Thank you Nathan! Welcome to the channel! 🤓✌
Jonathan Koh , I don’t know if you have ever heard of the late painter/teacher Bob Ross, his tv presentations were inspiring and exceedingly relaxing. I find that you share that quality in your presentations as well...making them not only informative but a most pleasurable experience as well. So much so that I passed your channel along to another gigging musician I follow RJ Ronquillo , I hope he enjoys your presentations as much as I do!
@@nathanbrewer6032 thank you Nathan ✌️🤓
Hi Jonathon, love the vid, all your vids are great in fact and love your playing, keep up the good work 👍
Thank you ✌️❤️
Sounds very good
Thanks for sharing your knowledge Jon. Because of you I have purchased several Harley Benton guitars and have been very happy. Perfect for living room rockers. Your reviews are spot on, perfect for guys like me. God bless my friend.
God bless you too brother 🤓✌
Lovely playing!
Thank you!🤓✌
Nice review. Thanks

Would love to see you share other patches if you make some you enjoy. Thank you

Thank you 🤓✌
Fantastic Jon
I love this vídeo, is amazing and very nice knowled.
Your plsying with HB is wonderfoul.
I havê one, and I'm so happy
Thank you 🤓✌️
Hi Jonathan i am new at your channel, but i have seen quite a bit of your videos the last few days. They are really great and informative. And i’m a totally fan of your guitarplaying. Mathias is right, they are pretty relaxing. Thank’s a lot, and happy new year to you from DK. 🇩🇰 👍🏻
Stig B. Jensen welcome to the channel!! same to you brother ✌️❤️
Trackballs!!! I love those, used to have a wired with a red marble :)
Hahaha
Sounds similar to Fractal a lil' bit. They sounds great and so wwwwwiiiiddddeeeee. Beautiful playing as usual, Sir👍
Thank you Marcel✌️❤️
Thanks for the excellent review Jonathan. I did wonder if the Hotone would be improved if you could drag and drop in the signal chain in the editor, making it more like a pedal board in that way. I guess that would make the firmware way more complex, requiring a hardware upgrade. I agree with you, the Chinese are getting better and better. Thanks again for another great vid.
yes...that was what I was thinking and hoping for. I will update them on my thoughts too...Thank you for your comments.. i hope you are enjoying the channel! 🤓✌
The idea of centrally controlling all effects is great, and the ability to also manage these effects via computer is also great. I personally love these devices and the technology and control offered. However, I constantly find myself not using these as my primary arsenal because when I play I can stand fiddling with options and navigating menus. In the end, a simple physical pedal per each effect chained precisely in the order I choose always is the winner. I shed so many multi effect units for this reason. I keep trying to make them work, but they never work out. I would say if studio work only these are good option.
I totally get you.. sometimes you just wanna play your guitar and be too much of a nerd ✌️❤️
Very nice. To the point
Glad it was helpful!
Super fantastic
Thank you brother 🤓✌
wow!
That Pete Tho.....,Harley Benton sounds great thru that power house pedal👌🏽22:06
✌😃
Great channel !
Glad you enjoy it!
OK, make a CD of that first jam. Let me know when you are finished please. Love your music, work and your channel!
Thank you :)
It's a mini helix with touch screen, and its awesome, l love it. For the cost of a strymon pedal at $299.00. Still love my pedals. The ampero is a great add on to your gear collection.
✌️❤️
I'm using a Zoom G3n now and I'm looking forward to upgrading to this soon =)
Great channel name ! 😂
Thanks for this video 👍
Most welcome ✌️❤️
Great review Jon. I got mine last Fri used it at acoustic gig right out of the box. Did a quick patch with comp, chorus n delay. It was great especially the looper. You should try it. Now cant't wait to try on electric gig . Hope can get sounds as sweet as yours.:)
Sweet!!!! Did you gig with the drum machine?? 🤓✌
Just looper not familiar with the beats yet.
Nice review, Jonathan. Very informative.
Thank you Matt! 🤓✌
Wow this actually sounds so good I wasn't not expecting that .
I would love to hear a comparison between the line 6 pod go..
Cheers 🍻
Kinda hard.. the unit is not with me at the moment
Hi Jonathan it Sax player Wink! I'm living in Shanghai. I still play with Eisen time to time! Nice to see you! I hope all is well! 🙏🙏🙏
Hey Winx!!!!! Oh man...how have you been? Its been too long! Are you on facebook?
Thank you, please do a video on The Fractal FM3 when it comes out :)
Hi Jonathan! Always love ur playing, it would be great if I could take lessons from you!
nice work my friend 👌👏
Thank you 🤓✌
Nice review. It would be cool if you keep uploading ampero related content. There is lots of "background noise" related to this unit on the forums due to the first batches hardware problems and very little quality content like yours depicting its actual capabilities and limitations. Having watched some of your previous reviews, I think you can come up with some pretty useful stuff. Take Jason Sadites tutorials for dialing a tone or an amp, for instance are really fun to watch -at least for us guitar nerds- and very informative, even if you don't actually own a helix. Best regards
Thank you....I will be doing some more videos of the Ampero ..especially highlighting the Drum Machine and the looper 🤓✌
It's a small miracle that HB stayed in tune for more than a minute.
Why? Yours doesn’t?✌️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Nope, and it has a fixed bridge, go figure.. maybe I had a lemon.
Hmmm I guess so✌️❤️
Hey Jonathon, in the Ampero Editor Version 1.2.8 there is a "Manage Signal Chain" function to the left of the patch volume slider. With that you can move the blocks around to any configuration that you want. Besides that, I believe that in the pedal itself, you can double click the menu knob to pick up a block and shift it (I'm using the Ampero One so it may be slightly different). Hope that helps!
Thank you Leroy.. but I no longer have the unit ✌️❤️
This unit sounds really nice. At first 400 bucks sounds like a lot, but when you consider that if you go out and buy 3 or 4 decent pedals, you have spent at least that much. Anyway, good presentation of a piece of equipment with a lot of features. Thanks!
Yes Mark..I think its a worthwhile piece of gear to own :)🤓✌
I see that you have the CTRL button assigned differently for the clean and distorted sounds, with red being the base sound and green the modified sound in the clean preset , but in the distorted sound it's the other way around. That would be confusing for me, so when programming the base sound I'd be sure to always have the CTRL button in my base colour, be it green or red, and keep that consistent throughout the presets.
Nice demo as usual Jonathan :)
Thanks!! Yes...point taken..I guess seeing the color Red will be a better indication hahah🤓✌
Hope you get to keep it
Its a keeper :)
Great review and playing, would love if you could share your patches!
Hi Jonathan. Good review 😊👍🏼 Can you do review of the hotone Ampero and the acoustic settings?
Yes.. In working on that soon..🤓✌️
Great...now I have to have one!!! :-)
😜
Awesome tones you get, you remind me to Larry Carlton. exquisite melodies and phrasing, Bravoo !!!
Thank you 🤓✌
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Because of this video i finally decided get the unit and i'm really happy now with my Ampero.. Thx again (°_*)
✌️❤️
Hi Jon, i wrote you in FB, a pm, please, give it a look ( I'm Giovanni Villar Carr)
Ok
SUPER ! :))))
Thank you✌️❤️
Your playing is really nice! Can you make some videos that explain your play?
Assolo fabtasrico!
Grazie millie!
Oh my! I could watch you play all day, just beautiful! I've got a Zoom 3gx which seems similar in operation but could you tell me how they perform quality wise? I play acoustic only. Thanks.
I cant tell you as I have never tried a Zoom unit yet ✌🤓
I'm thinking about buying a hotone ampero, but still thinking the line 6 hx stomp would be a better deal, couse i can use more fx of the same kind in the same patch (like 2 Delays).
I also would like to know your oppinion about the ampero, does the amps on it sounds even close to the helix line?
Get the line 6 stomp🤓✌️
Thanks, Jonathan, I am browsing this unit for quait sometime, what do think using for recording compare to Line6 helix LT?
It's on par!! 🤓✌
不错!好像Mooer 的ge系列
Amazing playing bro..wonderful!!
Can the hotone ampero give the same tonal depth like a pod go in terms of fender amp and cab simulation when plugged directly to the pa system/mixers??
Does it have enough capabilities to produce good and long ambient reverb and shimmer tone just like a pod go is capable of?? My preference is only the clean fender tones
For the 1st part of the question..Yes after the new updates. As for the 2nd part, it does have all those reverbs but again these thing are really subjective to one's taste. ✌💚
Great Vid Jon! Do you have to use the Amp and Cab Sims or can you run it through an Amp Combo or stack of your own? Can you set it up like a Stomp Box of each individual Effect? And can you turn OFF the Volume Pedal Function? Thanks Sir. Please keep up the Good Work!
Yes Rick...to all 3 questions!🤓✌
Just a amazing sound.definitely going to buy it?And is it good to use in live performance?
Yes 🤓
Hi Jonathan, i just got an ampero after watching your video. can i know what is the cable connection setup? i have the USB hook up, i am trying to bridge it to Ableton (DAW). i see you have use unbalanced L/R out? did you connect it to Apollo instead? thanks
Yes..I hooked up the L/R into my Apollo Twin✌♥
Great video as usually Jonathan, do you know the Zoom G3xn ? How do you rate this against the Zoom ?
No Marco..I did not try the Zoom G3xn..✌️🤓
Johathan- love the way you use the sway bar to get that Allan Holdsworth sound. I'm a little concerned about the high pitched whine I hear cutting in and out. Was that from the Ampero? If so, could be a deal breaker.
That was my speakers...nothing to do with the unit at all 🤓✌
