HOTONE: Ampero II Stage FW V1.04 (...having some fun with!)

[@peterjepps1229]

Clicked for the review, stayed for the playing🤘😎🤘

[@alexandergrunewald8752]

Yes!

[@wackywabbitt9316]

Such sweet warm tones. And the depth of the sound. Beautiful demo. Replayed it several times. Thank you

[@kimborgen]

Great demo, and playing. Looking forward to receiving this.

[@1972Georges]

Same here! Will take another 3 weeks until I get it. I think this is hard to beat at this price point

[@tim290280]

I've got the Ampero One and couldn't be happier with it. That said, the extra features on the Stage are exactly the sort of "improvements" you want from the line.

[@BobbyLaneProductions]

really nice Burgs! I am an avid fan of my AF3 but this is easily the best "other" modeler I've heard.. especially at this price. thanks amigo!

[@1972Georges]

Was is the AF3? Thanks

I have the Ampero One this new stage 2 looks and sounds awesome!🙂

[@Slavetskiy]

Thanks for the video. I love my Ampero stage. Nice and simple to use

[@tuesdayzrain]

Just got my Ampero II and watched you setup a patch. Really helped me out! Thanks so much!😎🤘

[@heavybrett-al4082]

Dam that looks like a great unit

[@colhad9505]

WOw !! Really great machine...and awesome player❤❤❤. i think abt buying it

[@AriaMehr648]

What a composition man, love that twice😅

[@peterschermers]

Great playing! Still no MIDI Out in this update though…

[@baolbardotbulsara]

Nice review! I'm wondering if I could use it as a vocal/guitar pedalboard. Does it come with vocal harmonies by "reading" the guitar chords...? Thank you!

[@picksalot1]

Very satisfying tones.

[@Cherry_Sunburst]

BRILLIANT.

[@arthurmetz9927]

As always, really good demo! I have a question. How do you think thisnone compares to Mooer GE300? Keep on going! Your videos are always fun to watch.

[@Ambient.Music.Studio]

great demo and playing. I’m still on the fence between: Fractal FM3 $1100, Fractal FM9 $1800, Boss GT1000 $1100, MOOER GE300 $710, Hotone Ampero II $700. I’m mostly in ambient and Pink Floyd Gilmour tones … so lots of reverb pedals is a must have … which is very limited on the FM3. FM9 might be far more than I need. Any thoughts?

[@lonewolf8188]

I have had the axe fx 3 and I would definitely recommend the FM9 which I will buy sooner or later. The Ampero sounds great and is the next one I will get.

[@Ambient.Music.Studio]

thanks much ... I took delivery of the FM9 Turbo in June ... it's just awesome! I easily use my Strymon Timeline, BigSky, Ventris Reverb with it ... abitlity to create endless ambient bliss and Gilmour type tones ... FM9 is perfect for me! 🙂🙂

[@ALIASZARDOZ]

Fabulous

[@mjones53]

Sounds great and awesome playing, Patches available to purchase ?

[@JohnnyOskam]

Does anyone know if you can program the ampero ii stage to send midi pc messages on scene changes?

[@lonewolf8188]

Brett what clean amp in the intro and the outro? Very crystal and warm.. always Petrucci Clean ?

[@jrgenlundsgaard9479]

Is it possible to download or nye all these fantastic sounds you made, and by the way you are a fantastic guitarplayer

[@gazzaduce3424]

I can’t connect to unit via blu tooth. My phone is showing a different version compared to the stage 2. If that’s the issue how do I update them both ?

[@sampereira1267]

Hi, is anyone using this with vocals? What affects can you use and how does it sound? I can’t find a list anywhere. Thanks a lot!

[@hugoherrejon3272]

Hi Brett, great playing as always!! Can you give me instructions on how to update the firmware? I couldn't find them anywhere nor the app says how to do it lol

[@MarcCoteMusic]

Great playing, Brett. The unit sounds good, too, but... much like Mooer, Hotone has been upping the prices quite considerably for recent products. This puts them in competition with some fairly heavy hitters and I'm not sure they can hang at that level. Time will tell, I suppose.

[@1972Georges]

Im thinking about getting this pedal. What would you consider otherwise in that price category?

[@MarcCoteMusic]

@@1972Georges - in your case, I would also consider the Boss GX-100 (has built in exp pedal), the HX Stomp XL (or even the Pod GO if you want something cheaper that has an expression pedal built in), or the Headrush Gigboard.

[@guesswho5150]

I had a Fender Tone Master Pro and compared it to my HoTone Ampero II Stomp. Sorry, Fender, the HoTone sounds so much better. Richer, fuller, more powerful tones. Compared the EVH 5150 of both units with the exact same IR and settings. I did not expect the Ampero to sound sooo much better, but it did. Even the effects sounded way better. Stage is on the way... Tone Master Pro goes back...

[@MarcCoteMusic]

@@guesswho5150 - Yeah, it's weird... Fender release this huge hunk of a modeler with all the bells and whistles you could ever want - and a price to match. You'd think it would sound at least as good as an Axe FX, a Kemper or Quad Cortex. I have yet to hear a demo in which it even sounds good, never mind great. Very strange.

[@1972Georges]

thanks. great to hear. same here. cant wait. @@guesswho5150

[@junioralves2158]

Amazing!!!

[@1972Georges]

Can you show a name instead of the preset Nr in the patch mode?? Thanks

[@chinnyhowie]

Killer tones! Mind sharing your preset please? :)

[@ymelfilm]

hi, does the pitch shifter still suck? tks

[@anuvobbappu6737]

Which is better for stage show performance Hotone ampero 2 OR Boss GT 1 ???

[@erdemakcan1976]

Can i ask u ? What is charvel model name ..thats cool

[@qtheband751]

Fantastic composition. Toto meets Steely Dan.

[@sihoon48]

Sounds better than Fractal uncompressed cuts thru mix so well

[@wolvesandguitars]

Is it the same brain as the small one just more in/outs?

[@borisjavierbarrera]

Gracias!

[@gazzaduce3424]

How do you update the firmware on this.Do you need a computer to do it it can you do it like you do with the quad cortex ?

[@1972Georges]

It got Bluetooth

[@pantarhei2213]

What about the vocals?

[@BrettKingman]

Wrong guy for vocals, sorry.

[@danielmolina5178]

how to update firmware?

[@NixonPerezNxn]

sweet!

[@nicolasozzi4441]

Bravo brett

[@JudgeFredd]

The issue is that you can make anything sounds good...

[@Ravid-w9r]

SUPER!!!:)))

[@sb6232]

Wow

[@MOAB-UT]

Put this money towards a FM3.

[@basandi4017]

??? FM3 price is almost double... Different price shelve

[@MOAB-UT]

@@basandi4017 Reading is not your strong suit. Read slowly..."money TOWARDS a FM3." FM3 is much cheaper really since you won't be buying it again twice or three times AND it holds it's resale. I bought the bigger FM9 (9 switches) and sold it later on after playing it and lost zero dollars. I paid $1845. Try selling a used Hotone- good luck. You won't get $100. There is PRICE and there is VALUE. You do the math.

[@divar1511]

SUPER!!!:)))
