Guitar Effects Processor HOTONE AUDIO AMPERO II STOMP

Touch the wonderful!
«Update» — is not just a word with 9 letters. It embodies continuity and development, revolution and creativity. And this is exactly what the HOTONE AUDIO AMPERO II STOMP guitar effects processor does. After many years of working on creating core technologies based on empirical practice, the Hotone Audio team proudly presents a partner to your exquisite taste in music sound.

CDCM HD + F.I.R.E.
In the past, digital multi-effects were criticized for producing dull, lifeless sound. At Hotone Audio, they strive to break this stereotype and make every effort to ensure they sound authentic and feel like a real amplifier. Relying on decades of research in digital modeling algorithms, the Hotone Audio team can showcase an absolute weapon — the CDCM HD + F.I.R.E. modeling technology — a combination and reproduction of mainstream modeling technologies of the «white box» and «black box». It models every component of the original device, creating a model that captures the dynamic variations of the instrument's input signal, maximizing the ability to reproduce the exact sound characteristics of the modulated object, providing a more dynamic, deep, and instant tonal feel. International professional musicians using this technology are enchanted by how live performance becomes incredibly realistic.

Tri-core platform, new signal processing station
HOTONE AUDIO AMPERO II STOMP introduces a new tri-core digital platform and independent ESS Sabre series A/D and D/A converters combined with advanced CDCM HD + F.I.R.E modeling technology, contributing to more dynamic and musically vibrant tones.

Dual effects chain, more tonal variations
AMPERO II STOMP features a customizable dual effects chain that supports multiple serial/parallel signal routing. Up to 12 effect modules can be used simultaneously.

8-in/8-out audio interface — new sparks for home recording
Good news for all musicians: AMPERO II STOMP with 8-in/8-out USB audio interface will surely lend you a helping hand. Whether you want to monitor processed and record a clean signal or record processed and clean signals simultaneously, and of course, to enhance what has been trending — all this is available in AMPERO II STOMP.

Glossy touch screen, smoother navigation
AMPERO II STOMP features a new interface design that makes everything more accessible. Additionally, changing global settings and switching patches is also done effortlessly.

Improved impulse response (IR) performance — a new step towards realistic sound
AMPERO II STOMP now supports up to 2048 pixels of impulse response (IR) sampling, which is twice as much compared to the previous generation, and accurately reproduces recorded cabinets and studio acoustics. In addition, 20 classic Celestion speaker impulse responses (IR) powered by Celestion Digital and another 50 custom impulse response (IR) slots will significantly upgrade your music.

The library provides over 400 effects, including:

• 87 amplifier models
• 68 cabinet models
• A more accurate cabinet-microphone algorithm based on realistic studio recording data
• New amplifier models
• Independent power amplifier simulation
• Over 100 models of legendary pedals
• Over 60 top original Hotone effects, including high-quality distortion, dynamics, filters, modulation, delay, reverb, and more

60-second stereo looper — a new generator of inspiration
The built-in stereo looper supports up to 60 seconds of stereo recording and is equipped with additional yet necessary features such as undo/redo, 1/2 speed, reverse recording/playback, and much more.

Compatible with Win/Mac software
Connect your computer or laptop and launch the editor software with a more specific description of effects, clearer editing, and efficient patch management — you will find the necessary information with incredible convenience.

Lightweight design
The shape of AMPERO II STOMP has been reimagined and now fits perfectly into the pedalboard. The construction has become sturdier, but the expression pedal function has been removed.

More inputs/outputs
Thanks to the stereo jacks, you can now connect to more instruments/pedals/amplifiers. The stereo effects loop provides more application options. And with EXP/CTRL and MIDI In/Out, you can control the tone using the best equipment.

Connection Methods

Connecting to an Amplifier
Just like when using an effects pedal, simply connect the output of HOTONE AUDIO AMPERO II STOMP to the input of the amplifier. You can use additional external controllers or other effects pedals with the effects loop of AMPERO II STOMP if needed.

Connecting to an Amplifier via the RETURN Input or Power Amplifier (e.g., Loudster)
When connecting to power amplifiers, the settings of AMPERO II STOMP can be adjusted just like a real amplifier.

When connecting to the Return jack of certain guitar amplifiers, you will get the most enjoyment if you use the specially designed PRE AMP modules in AMPERO II STOMP.

Using with Other Effects Pedals
Place AMPERO II STOMP on your pedalboard and set the bypass mode or effects loop, and then BAM! AMPERO II STOMP and other pedals will coexist in peace and harmony.

Connecting to Full-Range Audio Devices, such as Mixers, Audio Interfaces, and Headphones
Your ideal sound will be stunning during both home rehearsals and live performances.

Connecting to a Computer/Laptop as an Audio Interface
Connect to your computer via USB and to the monitors. Don't forget about the software and driver settings. Now your mini-studio is ready.

Using the Aux Line Input
Find an Aux cable and connect your smartphone/music player to AMPERO II STOMP. Now you can practice and improvise with backing tracks or metronomes as much as you want.
