The main thing to me when it comes to these multi-effects units is their ability to load impulse responses. Both the Mooer and Hotone offer this feature while competitors like DigiTech and Zoom don't. I prefer Hotone products due to their better build quality and better written software.

I got the Gigboard and I certainly wouldn't have if you couldn't load IRs. Its speaker cab stuff is really not that great, but the amps through some good IRs sound really good. Looks like the Hotone has more amps and a cool computer interface, where the Gigboard has a better hardware interface but no computer app. But yea, in either case, the ability to use IRs are a must.

Thanks for this great comparison video. I have had a quite a few entry level modelers in the past: a Zoom 404, the Line 6 POD XT, Amplifi Fx100, Mooer GE 200 and now an Hotone Ampero. All I can say is that the GE200 and Ampero with IR loaders are just incredible. I loved the GE200 high gain sounds but found it very stiff and a bit sterile for lower gains. I prefered the Ampero as it feels more natural (feel more tubey) and as overall better effects and more realistic clean and crunch sounds.

I had the Gigboard. What I found is that I had to EQ it pretty aggressively to even get it to sound right, but it sounded GREAT when dialed in properly. I was a tube amp and analog pedals guy and never bothered with EQ pedals, so I was frustrated at first, but thanks to the Gigboard I learned a ton about EQ'ing and filtering. Fortunately, the touch screen made everything so easy to adjust at home or live. Not to mention it has something ultra useful that many others don't: a precise drop tune - similar to the DIgitech Drop and just as good, so I could play songs in Eb without having to tune down. Using the Helix now I truly miss that feature - can't believe Line 6 still hasn't figured out how to do it yet.

Henning I'll add an alternative to these floor modelers. As an example. A Marshall Origin 20H Head (298€)+Two notes Torpedo C.A.B amp sim(279€)+Two Notes Torpedo loadbox (229€)=806€. Yes you don't have a CAB but you can record directly to a PC. Plus you get the all tube amp and just like the OX loadbox the two notes one has great cab sims in it. Downsides are, you need to buy all pedals and other amp heads if you want a more diverse sound. But through the years, I'd bet that most just keep to the sound they like the most and that's all. The above solution is for those who play at home, and can't have a 4x12 CAB maxed to 10 killing all their neighbors.

The ge300 is indeed a different animal and shares another sound engine like the mooer preamp live which is something like a tone capture, comparable to the kemper. (maybe 75-85% like the kemper sound and feel wise) and it does sound a lot better then the ge 200/150 which already sound pretty damn good for the price! But i returned it because of the most of the time lacking support and got the kemper. (also tested the helix lt and it is nice, but i thought why not go full top tier)

Being honest, I was just listening to the sounds whilst surfing on the web, so I haven't seen what pedal you played. When you switched to the Gigboard, which I found out when I opened the tab with video I was shocked how nasty and harsh it sounded. I was convinced not my type of pedal, BUT then again I listened to it in the background and did not watch it and when you just switched between cabs and mics it sounded sometimes pretty awesome. I think you just have to fiddle around and find the sound that you want as always. Anyway thanks for the review. It is really a good overview of all the ''budget''-pedals out there. HoTone and Gigboard win for me in terms of ease of use, sound and price.

I have one and all I use are the IRs. You can download some Celestion IRs that were made for the unit that sound great. My only complaint is the effect list is fairly small. You have everything you need but the variety is a bit limited. However what you dont get in effects, the looper makes up for. The looper function is amazing on this thing with ridiculous amount of loop time and stacking options. I combined it with a pair of the 8 inch powered frfr speakers and it sounds pretty awesome. Key point, if you get one of these, turn off the global eq. Its a serious tone suck and makes everything sound terrible. I fought with it for a few weeks before I realized what was happening.

Hello.... Thanks for the videos.... Our household is still pretty new to guitar. Looking to get something relatively small, for learning with, hoping to not meed the full Helix or Headrush pedalboards. Our main needs, is something easy to use and learn, as we are new to guitar, and also new to effects. I'm hoping to be able to dial in sounds "similar" to a range of 60s, 70s, 80s, and some newer songs... and then easily access them again later for practicing. So, wanting flexibility in the sounds available, easy use, etc.. not super concerned with perfect models or the best sound, we are beginners, not playing in a band or anything... I don't know yet that we would NEED an expression pedal, so the Gigboard was one on the list, we could add a pedal later if needed... We also have looked into just a few normal pedals, as well as possibly a Mooer(cheaper option), and others. Considered incorporating a small multi-effects along with standard pedals... There are just too many choices to know where to start. Now Line 6 has announced the Pod Go at NAMM... Price looks ok for the Pod Go, but the user interface of the Gigboard just looks so easy, especially for young people used to touchscreen devices. My daughter will be using this as much as me, she will be 10 in a couple months. The main drawback I see with the Pod Go, it seems limited to choosing just 4 effects, I dont know if that is enough, or if it would be limiting us....and it makes no mention of a looper. So, which few multi-effects should I keep looking at? Or should I start with a tuner pedal, an overdrive, and then later just add one effect at a time, like delay, reverb, phaser, chorus, etc...? Your video are full of info, we need someone knowledgeable to help us get started playing with effects... any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I've got some doubts about the mooer that you may have the answer for. When using the looper, the first two foot switches are to slow down 50% and play it backwards, right? (on the ge200) If so, can they be assigned to more practical functions like changing presets or turn pedals on and off? I really don't see the use for the standard functions. The play it backwards seems like a bad taste, useless gimmick, and the slow down option would be useful, to practice, on a sub menu with the tempo being adjusted, by a button, on much smaller increments, preferably 1%. I know that you can change presets, when using the looper, by pressing two foot switches at the same time, and then using the first two foot switches as normal, but then, you got to press the two, again, in order to use the looper functions, am I right? This seems very impractical, and a way to mess up, either by pressing the wrong switches or getting distracted about the pedal instead of what you're playing. So, all I what to know, really, is: when the looper is being used, can the first two foot switches be assigned to their original function (change between presets)? By the way, if you know any good use for the play backwards thing please let me know. I'm interested in buying one, but this is putting me of. It seems like a joke, not a proper function, and I really don't like jokes on the client's dime. Also, can the loop tempo be slow downed in more useful increments inside the menus, or is it just 50% or 100% (again, if that's the case, that's a joke, not a function, I'll still have to loop the parts if I want to learn something. If I'm struggling with a song, I'll get there by playing it marginally faster every time, not twice as fast). Thank you!

Did they do a firmware update after this was made for the Ampero? You can scroll with dial too now. (For the amps... you don't need to use the touch interface.)

I have a Headrush and all I can say is: Never ever use the factory presets! They are really bad. I use Celestion IRs with great results - especially the Suhr-Speaker-Pack is great. With the touchscreen-interface and firmware 2.1 you can easily navigate through IR-Folders :)

I'd be keen on one of the Mooer ones if they would ditch the rubbish expression pedal and do a 'lite' model. Like a budget HX Stomp.

Don't know whats wrong with you(your settings I mean) but the headrush sounds bigger and more real...you didn't make the ampero sound great...though I liked your presentation...and agree that stating you don't need more than 5 amps in a room filled with dozens is ridiculous...thanks anyway

Love the sound of the Ampero, but from what I've read, it's got the most failure rates. No idea about the Headrush. The only Line 6 product I've ever used is the POD HD 500X. The problem with Mooer is that they seem a bit too overpriced. They work good, have no/very few failures, have a nice interface, good sound. But seriously the pricing? GE 200 looks like a good deal but then it doesn't have individual control knobs or stomp switches. GE300 is suddenly too big and too overpriced for basically the same sounds as a ge200 + a few extra switches and knobs, which are useful though. But not worth the extra $500. They recently came up with a GE250, which I had high hopes for, and it's good too, but then its basically just a ge200 with 2 extra foot switches for $200 more. Really hate the absence of control knobs. It's a real PITA when you're on stage and need to make quick adjustments according to the sound system. It's like cycling through the alphabet with only one rotary knob on a keyboard for typing something. Edit : Now, look at a Zoom G3XN for example, it's got such a good interface, 3 displays, 6 foot switches, ability to add multiple instances of the same effect in the signal chain, decent sounding amp models, about 12 individual control knobs and all that in the same footprint as a ge200 but for just $220?! TF! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Ampero has malware in the firmware updates when you download it straight from Hotone's website. It also doesn't have a native ASIO (Windows 10 blocks unsigned software (probably because that too has malware)) which you means you need to use a third party one, and all of them sound bad. It defeats the whole purpose of the Ampero also being an audio interface if you can't use it's native ASIO driver. I want to get rid of mine now that I can't update the firmware. Hotone is awful.

@@mcr0741 Actually, here's an update. Hotone just released their own asio driver on their website. But... in FL studio you still need to use asio4all if you actually want to record via usb and still be able to hear the DAW(metronome for recording). You can plug the headphones directly into the ampero use that as an audio interface but it sounds super digital and fizzy, and so do the recorded tracks. However if you plug your headphones straight in your computer and then select asio4all and then within it, you select Hotone's native asio driver, it sounds good to very good. But man, I'm not a noob at this stuff and it took me months to figure out how to get a decent sound out of this thing. The ampero is the most user unfriendly product I might have ever used.

I have found a mooer ge200 used for €199 and a hotone ampero ex-demo for €350. Looking many videos on yt I am convinced ever more that ampero sounds way better than the mooer. So my question is: do you think I have to go for the ampero or I have to search something more espansive maybe more close to a real tube amp sound?

I have a Hotone Ampero and as much as I wanted to like it , it kinda sucks. I recently downloaded the latest firmware and it had malware on it. I couldn't believe it. I downloaded it directly from their website, and they thought it was a good idea to put malware on it that my anti-virus caught immediately. That's an automatic 0/100. Despite it being an audio interface, when I try to use it via USB cable to record, there's no native Hotone Ampero ASIO driver that shows up in FL studio. This means I need to use FL studio's ASIO driver which sounds good but has horrible latency that I can't get rid of. Or I need to use ASIO4all which sounds mediocre to pretty bad, depending which patch I'm using. Apparently, Windows 10 blocks the ASIO driver from Hotone, because it is unsigned, which is super suspicious. Why is it unsigned? I'll just have to assume that it has malware too. This is a -100/100 because I essentially can't use the Ampero for what I bought it for which is quiet direct usb recording with my headphones on. The sound quality doesn't sound anywhere near as good as it does in any of the youtube videos I saw when I was researching the Ampero. Just with my headphones directly plugged into it, it sounds very digital and fizzy. When I use the overdrive pedals into my real amp, it sounds... OK at best. Not bad per se. The only time it sounds quite good is when I use it via direct USB recording, and with FL studio ASIO driver (not ASIO4all) but the latency makes it extremely hard to record. I haven't found a way around it yet. I haven't sold it yet, because I really really want to like it and I want it to work but after downloading malware of their official website, I have a seriously negative view of Hotone and will never buy any of their products ever again. I don't want to sell my Ampero but it has been collecting dust for the most part since I bought it. Deeply disappointed.

Is there any floor modllers that has a bypass that cuts off the effects then can be enabled, so I can use my own amp sounds then effects with ease instead of pulling all of my cables out and replacing? Looking at the Moore ge300, boss gt1000 ect (tried the pod go after I was told it did this but didn't so I sold it, plus wireless coming out pissed me right off just afterwards) some clever little boffin must of added this feature to a cool modeller

Give me a piece of advice, if possible, brother. I have a Boss ME 80, and I am looking for a new multieffect unit, just to try something new. What would you recommend? No modelling, just a fx int my tube amp. I am leaning toward hotone ampero.

Hello! Thank you very much for your reviews, watching them is always very interesting. Great presentation of information. I'm going to buy a processor, but am lost in the choice. I watch reviews, I like everything! In real life, there is no way to see, listen and compare. Glance and desire cannot focus on one of three options - Boss ME-80; Boss GT-1; Mooer GE150. The Mooer GE150 is very attractive, the presence of Drums, Boss, it seems to me more convenient to use. If I understand correctly, the sound can be tuned to whatever is necessary, I’m not good at it. Please help with advice on which to choose, I’ve been suffering for more than a month, the Tomann catalog has already become a reference book! Maybe you advise which other, no more expensive than the ME-80? What is the best option in your opinion? 🤔

It would have been perfect for me if that had been a midi out (or an in/out) rather than an in. I'm confused why Hotone thought a midi in on a multieffects/amp modleler was more important than an out.
