Hotone Ampero Mini Review: one of the smallest and cheapest amp modelling pedalboard on the market!

[@AriaMehr648]

Bought one about 2 weeks ago as a gift of new persian year (1403) to myself😊. Totally lovely unit and a real assistant to practice and make some good moments. Thank you Leo for your great description and of course, you have a musical soul.❤❤

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

You are welcome and I'm really happy that you like the music and the videos!!

[@HewittH]

According to Hotone, the Mini is based on the previous-gen modelling, while the Stomp II is the current, newest generation. I've actually heard some head-to-head comparisons where I preferred the Mini. I've always wanted a front end pedal that does EQ, compression, and boost. I've thought of having one made or some pedals rehoused as one unit, but this could do all that for less money and then I'd also have a mollion more functions. Price to performance this blows everything else away!

Forgot that i was watching a review vid, for a moment there. Amazing playing🎉

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Thank you so much.....when you like my music....I'm super happy!!!

[@diesonne0127]

I would like to add, that the ampero mini has a internal drum machine, the ampero II does not have one. So I guess the ampero mini could be more intended as a practice "mini" tool.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, good points, thank you for sharing!

[@jkbck1]

Good point! I have a big question. Is the drum machine integrated with the looper? I mean does it adjust the beat to the beginning of the loop and the beat remains steady (like with Nux one Zoom) or it is not integrated (like in Valeton) and after 20 seconds the drum and loop tempos go separate ways?

[@ANDI3niable]

Thank you for this review, Leo! I've been waiting to hear your take on this unit! I bought the mini and just placed my order for the Ampero 2 stomp because I needed the midi I/O for me to integrate it to my board, and hearing you preferring the 2 stomp over the mini made me finally decided on selling my mini for now so I can save up for other pedals.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

You are welcome and I'm happy to have been of some help!!! Thank you for sharing your final decision!

[@steveliberty]

I have both the Ampero II Stomp and the Ampero Mini (received today). I think your comparison is pretty accurate, and the only thing I would say about it is that the A2S MIDI is terrible. Hard wired CC#'s per position in the signal chain rather than being assignable to a blcok regardless of position, and NO parameter control at all. They really should have looked at the HX Stomp's MIDI implementation, and copied it - it's fantastic. And, Hotone now has a 2 year history of providing hardly anything substantial in the very few updates that have been released - really disappointing. This is why I think I will be selling my A2S and keeping the Mini. The Mini's price point makes sense with its feature set, but the Ampero II Stomp feature set doesn't justify the price in my opinion. At some point soon, I will test whether or not the Mini reacts to simple MIDI commands over USB (like PCs). When I do, I will circle back to you. If that works, then I will ahve to see if I can figure out what else is supported via CC's.

[@steveliberty]

I tested using a WIDI UHost connected to the USB C port on the Mini, and connected from my iPhone. I then sent a PC3 to the Mini using the MidiPad app, and the Mini responded by changing to patch 3. Perfect! I wish Hotone would publish the MIDI table so we could see what else it might respond to.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi Steve, thank you so much for sharing!!! Really super helpful info...and I do agree with you....Hotone should publish the MIDI table....

[@steveliberty]

@@LeoGibsonGtr I contacted Support, and they acknowledged that MIDI over USB works. They don't have a MIDI table for the Mini to provide, but they directed me to the manual for the old Ampero (same technology) where there is a MIDI CC table. I tried several CCs, and they do work. I noticed that the old Ampero only supported one CTRL, and the Mini supports 3, so it may take a little experimenting to determine if all 3 can be invoked via MIDI, but there is a CC in the Ampero table for the one supported by the old Ampero (and it works), so I expect there are 2 more CCs that have to be discovered through experimentation.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, thank you for sharing, super useful info!

[@raffaelesix1819]

Grazie della recensione, è sempre un piacere avere il tuo parere. Inoltre complimenti per gli ottimi intro strumentali davvero stupendi! Riguardo alla pedaliera, secondo me è proprio carina! Piccolissima e completa per un utilizzo semplice. Secondo me è più una macchina plug and play, anche la sua facilità d'utilizzo mi fa pensare a questo. Io la vedo bene anche in quelle situazioni live in cui ti servono pochissimi suoni e senza sbattimenti entri nell'impianto e vai. Una soluzione ottima anche per quando si accompagna in acustico. Ho visto un video in cui nell'ingresso exp si può collegare il controller "hotone ampero dual footswitch" (che costa 20 euro) e permette appunto di aggiungere 2 footswitch programmabili. Certo questo potrebbe voler dire rinunciare ad un pedale di espressione esterno ma forse un modo esiste comunque per aggiungerlo, vedremo... Io al momento per questo utilizzo plug n play uso una mooer ge150 che ha anche un piccolo pedale d'espressione incluso sempre utile (e costa pure meno di questa) però il dover far tutto con una sola manopolina è davvero scomodo, l'unica soluzione è collegarla al pc... ma se ci si trova in sala prove e bisogna fare veloci regolazioni, personalmente sono più le volte che sbaglio a usare la manopolina che le cose che sistemo ahaha! Questa piccola scatolina invece mi sembra molto più utilizzabile per queste regolazioni al volo grazie allo schermo touch sufficientemente grande

[@Pharesm]

Much thans! Great review, as usual! I'll stick to my Ampero Stomp II. That unit's output is absolutely clean! When I tested the Line6 Pod, it was terrible - as long as it was connected, there were continual noises, depending on the FX chosen! For making clean recordings, it was unusable! I just bought a NUX Might space, its also decent, but not a match for the Ampero - according to my ears, anyway ;-)

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

You are welcome, and I'm happy that you like the review! Thank you also for sharing your findings...I would also stay with the Stomp II...

[@ErebosGR]

Excellent review as always! I think the more affordable sister-brand Valeton GP-200LT offers more VFM, including 2 more footswitches, an FX loop, MIDI in/out, 2 expression pedal jacks, 2 more effect blocks, 10 more user IR slots, 80 seconds longer looper etc.

I prefer this one over the Valeton GP 200, because to my ears the high gain sounds are much better. Software is very good as well. Main disatvantage for me is that the drum machine, which is quite OK actually, can't be recorded, at least I didn't find any solution to do so. I‘m using the Ampero for headphone practise and a little recording sometimes as well.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Please, Leo, do the shootout between the Flamma FX 150, the NuX MG 400 and the Valeton GP 200!!! Especially regarding the most common amp model simulations in each.

Thanks Leo. Very confused product planning to issue a new products based on the old amp modeling system. Also it had to hav a knob to swiftly go to other presets.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

You are welcome and thank you for sharing! Maybe Hotone thought that the new amp modelling algorithms had to be paired with the better ADA converters...it's just an hypothesis. Actually swiping the screen, you can change the presets. Thank you!

[@hcelizondo]

Leo, excellent video as usual but I think you missed a point here. I don't see this as the competition of other pedalboards, for the price I think is a direct competition of the Nux mighty plug and the Fender whatever the name is. I see this as a mighty plug with way more features (specially the display) and as a very powerful practice tool. Cheers and no doubt you are the best reviewer of these pedals :)

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, thank you so much for sharing your findings and I'm happy that you like the reviews. Interesting point of you....The mighty plug is even smaller and lighter...it's one of the device I used the most....

[@BuleriaChk]

Your review and musicianship are impeccable as always, thanks much. That said, I found the sound quality and options seriously lacking in comparison with the Ampero 2 Stomp, which is well worth the additional money, both in terms of sound quality and useability as you said. Also the editing is very persnickety without the three knobs, IMO; for me, very important. In fact, the A2S compares very favorably with my HX Stomp; both are excellent, but the HX doesn't have the Matchless Emporer Clean (AFIK); please correct me if I'm wrong.

[@jcoulter43]

Great review and fantastic demo song. Seems like a great unit that is incredibly small for the features. Is it too small though? That Valeton GP200 is a very compelling unit, all things considered. What are your thoughts on using the mini as a standalone, all-in-one guitar rig? Maybe add an expression pedal and you're all set. Maybe they could add the Y-cable for 2 outputs like you showed? I also agree with you that only 1 output is a fumble by Hotone, but there are workarounds like you suggest. Keep up the great work Leo! God bless and rock on 🎸

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Thank you so much, I'm really happy that you like the music!!! For gigging I would always need more than 2 foot switches, and this unit lacks midi...therefore for me is a no go. But for practicing is ok. Thank you!

Thank you, I'm really happy that you like the video! I have not done detailed tests yet, I typically check out the dynamic range management in my comparison videos. Nevertheless the unit is pretty responsive to our touch, and maybe the demo song can provide some examples, especially in the initial part. Thank you!

[@mr.d.572]

Excellent questions

[@CharLessMajor7Music]

Have you notice how it alters the tone of guitar signal when plugged into an amp and everything is turned off from pedals to amp and cab and EQ. I feel like you can’t use it as a pedal only like using only fx pedal inside of it because you can’t bypass it totally and it thins out the tone.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, I didn't try to connect it to an amp, actually. Therefore thank you for your observation!

[@torrezani]

Great video my friend

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

[@keithb5612]

Thanks Leo! Do you feel that the Hotone Ampero 2 unit tones would be better for home recording over the Mini? I dont gig .. Just a home user.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

You are welcome! I have not done a direct comparison, but (if I remember it well) I was able to obtain better tones with the Stomp II. Thank you!

[@ChakraOver9k]

Do you think the ampero mini is better than the sonicake matribox? I know u said it's competing with the valeten jr and the flama 150. I wonder how it stacks up vs the matribox

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, I'm not quite sure...I need to do a direct comparison to answer properly...maybe in the next weeks. Thank you!

[@mr.d.572]

I was going to ask exactly the same question. I have the Matribox but am curious as to how this compares in sound quality. I've gotten some good tones from the Matribox by tweaking a few presets but I know they already came out with an updated version and that pissed me off actually. I'm wondering if this is better since I believe they're from the same manufacturer.

[@ChakraOver9k]

@@mr.d.572 I was alil pissed myself seeing that there was a matribox 2 already out so fast. The MB2 has more amps models, a bigger screen, and more inputs. Besides that, they both sound exactly the same. When i upgrade it's going to be with one of the big dogs. It will be the quad cortex or the fender tone master pro. I'm good with my sonicake until then tho👌

[@tiomkinnyborg2289]

In 2012 zoom released the G5 multi-effect unit. This ancient unit allowed you to place anything in any block as many times as the processor power would allow. So you could have 9 reverbs or delays if you wanted. You could chain multiple amps if you wanted to. You could not do parallel signal paths, but that was the only real limitation. The UI was of its time but was logical and controls were at you finger tips. Now we get things like the Ampero. Which are designed to be limited. The blocks are locked into a function. You cannot overwrite the factory presets. Is this advancement? Where is the Intelligent Harmonizer that follows what key you are in? I wish zoom would remake the G5 in a metal case but with modern advancements. I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Nice review.

Hi, thank you for sharing your experience and your findings and I'm really happy that you have appreciated the review!

Hi Leo, two questions if I may: - On Looper mode, could you please clarify wether it is possible to undo/cancel the last overdub without clearing the whole loop? The manual is unclear. - how would you compare the Ampero Mini drum machine patterns quality against other budget multi effects such as the Zoom G1 four or the Nux MG 300? Thanks!

Hi Leo, your videos are great! What’s your take on the sound quality difference between the Ampero Stomp II and the GX-100?

[@tarkgundogdu8940]

GX-100 is ahead in sound quality, responsiveness (in terms of playing dynamics) and processing power but behind in the user interface. If you like tetris game ,then you can also try GT-1000/Core. Also you might need a DI Box at the end of Boss processors. I do not know why but Boss keeps using unbalanced outputs for decades.

Hi Leo, usually you talk about latency for all the units. I’m actually considering this one to put in the main pedalboard with other analog pedals, obviously with a switching system (I think the Ehx super switcher). The Ampero should control modulation and delay at the same time. Very interesting model, but I’m scared about the “click” sound due to the latency when switching different preset of the super switcher, can you answer me about this aspect?

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately, my latency tests are related to time it takes for the pedal to make a sound, after you pick the string and not the latency when you change preset. Having done this clarification, I will see what I can do.... Thank you!

[@vitalyvolkov6843]

How is the Ampero Mini compared to NUX Amp Academy in terms of only amp+cab modelling and overall quality of the sound? I understand that Ampero Mini has much more pedals/effects/features, but to me the basic sound is like a foundation for everything else is much more important. I saw your review on Amp Academy (which is great too) - the latency is much better, but is it the thing to worry about those too devices?

Grande brano opening!!!!! Questo Ampero piccolo mi convince poco. Con poco più di 100 euro in più si può prendere un Boss Me90 che non ha paragoni in termini di flessibilità, oppure se voglio rimanere su dimensioni contenute ma con buone capacità di performance, prenderei Ampero StompII, mi sembra di ben altra levatura. Se devo rimanere sul piccolo e cheap per suonatine al volo prenderei un Positive Grid Spark Go. Economico, 150 euro, con un software potente e ben suonante (ho avuto lo Spark40, di cui condivide il motore, bella macchina anche se l'ho scambiata con un Peavey Bandit usato, mi serviva un mulo in sala prove....)

Hi, Valeton is kind of a subsidiary of Ampero...the algorithms are basically the same...The Valeton is just a bit limited in terms of tone customisation...for instance you can not place the mic over the cab (as far as I remember) but the position is fixed, where (on the other hand) it offers more footswitches....therefore choose what is more useful for you. For instance: do you need the 4 foot switches ?

[@axelrov]

today I received the ampero mini, coming from the old zoom G3 and zoom g1xon I was thrilled with the new generation of multi-effects. I take my Stratocaster and try different presets, immediately I realize that the sound is rather confused, the layer does not play as a layer, even in the clean preset position 2 and 4 barely hint at the quake sound, the low strings are flabby and poorly defined, nothing to do with the twang, the zero whip sound, they looked like the bass of a poorly defined Les Paul. Also I thought you have bad presets, I prepare my usual fender Gassman rig with bassman cab, and nothing the same thing I add a compressor but it doesn't change the situation, I try to tweak the bassman tones, nothing! Suck!, I put this ampere away, and reconnect the old €69 zoom g1xon, my god! 10 to 2 in favor of the zoom, powerful low strings that whip like a stratum, intelligible, the perfect quake sound to rival Mark Knopfler in Sultan of swing. What to say! This amp sounds like the pre G3 era digital sounded, it dulls the guitar tone, main criticism being made of the digital, and this is so a 20 year step back in sound, the drums sound good, but the styles are wrong, rockabilly and an unthinkable little music, remember I had taken it with the hope that with the switch I could do on/of and also with the Looper, well, with the drum it does it, with the Looper instead only on one off,, u ti send to the Looper screen, however you can do what I wanted but not as it should be, moral of the story! As soon as I made the comparison with the super-cheap zoom g1xon, I took the Amazon open cell phone and immediately returned the ampere, I really expected something at least a little bit better, but something soooo much worse than my old pedalboards, no, not this. I'm still shocked and upset. 1:20

I had both the G1 Four and G2x Four. Sold both because they are a pain to dial in and hit DSP overflow a lot. I just got the Mini and the amps are better in this unit. Even better is changing out IRs to make it more usuable.

How does it compare to valeton gp200 lt

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, I should do a direct comparison video to answer properly...maybe in the coming weeks. Thank you!

Le macchine che produce Hotone sono sempre interessanti, quello che manca è una politica di aggiornamenti seria che possa permettere ai prodotti di fare concorrenza a Line6: ho avuto la Stomp2 per quasi un anno ma alla fine l'ho venduta prima che diventasse "vecchia". Mi piaceva come suonava e anche per come faceva da scheda audio però nel frattempo la Line6 ha buttato fuori secchiate di aggiornamenti anche importanti mentre Ampero solo un klon ed un ampli... Se questo Mini lo supportano in maniera consona potrebbe diventare un bel coltellino svizzero altrimenti meglio lasciar perdere

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Ciao, grazie della condivisione....in effetti Line 6, in quanto a firmware update, è molto buona...sono rimasto impressionato quando via firmware hanno aggiornato completamente le simulazioni di Speaker...poteva valer la pena vendere una nuova macchina per un simile aggiornamento... Grazie!

Can i do live shows with it. I only play metal music. Only use high gain tone.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, yes, I think you can.

[@BudiPrasetyoHarsono]

How's this compare to Ampero One?

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, it has less amp and cab simulations (52 vs 64 and 50 vs 60) and less effects (199 vs 242). the output section is different, obviously it is smaller, lighter and cheaper. It also has 2db of less dynamic range...but it should be not noticeable. There is a comparison chart here: www.hotoneaudio.com/products/multi-effects/Ampero%20Mini Thanks

[@BudiPrasetyoHarsono]

@@LeoGibsonGtr thank you! Just sold my Ampero One because the size as I'm building a small pedalboard to incorporate my favorite fuzzes. Is it going to be good enough? Intrigued because of the size. How's the reverb and delay? And the overall sound quality compared to Ampero One?

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

They should sound basically equal...strangely the Mini has 2db of dynamic range less than the one...but it should have a negligible impact on the tone.

[@BudiPrasetyoHarsono]

@@LeoGibsonGtr thank you! Still considering whether to buy the mini or save more to buy used HX Stomp

[@heycisco]

I can't believe it is missing bluetooth for aux.

[@alessandrotesser6841]

Ciao Leo tra questa e la valeton gp200lt quale suono meglio in cuffia per studio e registrazione? A parità di prezzo la Valeton gp200lt mi sembra offrire molto di più come funzioni ma come qualità del suono?

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Ciao Alessandro, credo che alla fine Hotone e Ampero usino gli stessi algoritmi di simulazione...non credo ci sia grande differenza a livello di suono.... dovrei fare delle comparazione dettagliate per essere sicuro...ma credo che alla fine appunto gli algoritmi siano condivisi. Grazie

[@alessandrotesser6841]

@@LeoGibsonGtr grazie, a livello di contenuti gp200lt ha molto di più, ritengo quindi questa ampero mini molto sovrapprezzata (si paga molto la novità).

Hello, Leo! You say Ampero mini may be used with usb contro probably, but you dont check it.. Why? This is so easy..))

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, yes, it can be used as an audio interface. Sorry for the uncertainty.

[@EeustaceE]

It sounds good but small display not good for seniors above 55.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, thank you for sharing! Actually, I think that hardware company should care more and more about this topic...you are right....even because I'm also starting wearing glasses....and sometimes it's hard to see things...

[@aujizaharudin]

Headrush mx5 or ampero mini?

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, well, very different machines....I would say that it depends from your need....from practicing only I would get the Ampero...for live use, maybe the MX 5 offers more options.

[@adam2178]

Better than Axe 3?

Hi, I should do a direct comparison to answer. Thank you for your question

Thank you!

Sei bravissimo! Purtroppo i suoni del brano intro fanno cagare 🤣

[@Валерій-ъ3ы]

Everything sounds about the same, only with different levels of gain

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, thank you for sharing your findings!

[@thecaveofthedead]

I like the tiny size, but it's a shame that it takes a hit in sound quality.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, thank you for sharing!

Most valuable and real practice assistant of ampero. The stomp model hasn't drum machine. Wtf with Chinese engineers 🤔
