How to Expand the Hotone Ampero 2

Preorder the Ampero 2 Stomp here bit.ly/3CYXH72

[@AlessioPMusica]

thank you

[@ThePedalGuy]

You're welcome

[@Clive007]

Great video and so helpful thank you. As a result of this I bought the Ampero Switch and the Press. And the use of the touch pen is such a simple but very effective way of showing us what part of the screen you're actually tapping, so many presenters cover the screen with their hand so we have to guess what icon they're pushing!

[@ThePedalGuy]

Glad it helped!

[@jorgefernando9306]

Is it possible to use both at the same time? Just bought the ampero press but I am not sure if we can use it together!

[@Clive007]

​@@jorgefernando9306 You can if you have the Ampero Control.

[@obmal_pytan]

Will I be able to connect them two at once if I use Ampero CONTROL?

[@MikaelLewisify]

Awesome. I just got my Ampero and the extra pedal. Thank you for posting this.

[@ThePedalGuy]

You bet

[@woodyoulove-reynaldguibone6890]

Can you control the amps master volume with the exp pedal? So you don't have to take a single slot for volume pedal

[@lesburns3732]

Have you or will you review an Arena 2000 using the Hotone (Ampero press,Ampero control)threw midi.Just wondering?Thanks.

[@ThePedalGuy]

At this point, probably not.

[@marcinotrebski9345]

How can you control mix of delay with external switch just like hx stomp does

[@WeiWenLai]

very helpful, thank you

[@ThePedalGuy]

Thanks

[@chikeyman]

Great video!!! Important to note if you’re configuring an expression pedal for accurate volume control the preferred setting will always need to be logarithmic as the human ear perceives changes in volume based on a logarithmic scale.. Whereas with a linear setting you will notice in comparison when moving the pedal up and down the volume will jump between quiet to loud and not have many gradients in-between.

[@ThePedalGuy]

Thanks for sharing

[@allboutthemojo]

@@ThePedalGuy is there a video on how you connect and configure additional pedals like your own wah and drop tuner , feedback pedal etc? All 3 pedals together not just one

[@人造书]

Is it possible to give an assignment to expression pedals ( in GT series we can assign amp switch bright or gain level or pitch value etc..) ?

[@les7118]

how can you connect two exp pedals to this unit? or footswitch + exp pedal?

[@lulobo9617]

I want to have 3 exp pedals plugged on it to control each one the Volume+Wha+Whamy effects. Its possible?

[@ThePedalGuy]

Not sure in this case.

[@dzoduyen]

Help pls.. I only can set one side on dual sw to do Ctrl so it can turn on and off multi blocks, but the ether sw only do a single task,.. I can set dual sw đó dual multi stack on Hotone mini..( I do use a stereo cable for dual sw)

[@darlenemcmillan5802]

Great informative video. God bless you ❗

[@ThePedalGuy]

Thanks

[@patrickjuhasz8047]

Hey is it possible to have something like a song mode? Usually I have 2-3 presets per song (rhythm, lead, clean) and I also like to switch on and of maybe one or two effects per preset. 3 presets + the option to switch on/off single fx

[@sabbiralam100]

What is the basic difference of stomp mode and patch mode ? Why we need to set tempo ? Does Ampereo two plays as a rhythm in the background in stomp mode ?

[@kevinbae5744]

Is it possible to plug in both volume pedal and the foot switch? I am aware there is only one EXP input on the Ampero 2 Stomp, but wondering if there is any method to connect both.

[@pascalbourhis]

@thepedalguy you never answer this question and I also have the same question thanks

[@pascalbourhis]

[@pascalbourhis]

Do you find how to do this?

[@kevinbae5744]

@@pascalbourhis unfortunately, no.

[@scorpionleader1967]

Footswitch or expression pedal, not both? Better to use a midi switcher to be able to use the expression pedal?

[@Slavetskiy]

Good job, as always! Thanks

[@ThePedalGuy]

Thanks

[@tgchan]

ampero control + ampero 2 stomp? + expression pedal + ampero switch :) FULL BLOWN ampero switchboard ;p

[@ThePedalGuy]

LOL

[@musicalgroovesaucet.v.1789]

So its either or, you can’t have both….or is there an expamsion piece that lets have the option of both volume pedal and additional control switches?

[@erickpontes8155]

Hi! I just bought the ampero Stomp 2 and even moving from pedals I'm pretty happy with it. I know that to use an expression pedal and external switches you need the ampero control but what about the m-vave chocolate? Do you think it would work as same as the ampero control? Tks!

[@ThePedalGuy]

I don't have any experience with the M-Vave, but anything that sends MIDI will do.

[@CarlosCastro-eb1gg]

Hi there! Thanks for making this videos!! I have a question, I have a Boss FS6 and wanted to make a momentary switch like the whammy ricochet's momentary switch. Can I do it with the ampero 2 stomp?

[@scottbronder]

I know this is off topic on this video, but can you do 4 cable method with this unit? A demo would be great

[@ThePedalGuy]

Thanks for the suggestion. Probably not at this point since I started working at NuX.

[@scottbronder]

@@ThePedalGuy Fair enough and thanks for the content you provide.

[@titusmorales6769]

I'm planning to buy ampero ii. But i want to ask something first. can't you plug-in ampero press & foot switch at the same time ?

[@firdaushaji2638]

Can you show how to connect to FS-5U boss?

[@sabbiralam100]

Hi, I want to choose a few banks ( 3 patches) and change within the selected banks to perform in the stage. For example I want to select P01-1 as A, P05-1 as B and P33-1 as C and P05-01 as D and only these 4 want to quickly access in the 3 footswitch or dual external footswitch ?

[@TomMacalisang]

is it possible to change the signal chain to start from right to left just like in real pedalboard?

[@ThePedalGuy]

Not really.

[@RaddsonR2]

Is possible changes the Bank(Up/down) in Stomp Mode?

[@TheChotsaeng]

Can we use 2 modulations in 1 patch and also can we select different amps in 1 patch, and can we set to automatic match selected cab by amp sim 😅? Thank you

[@AradhyaOnBass]

I don't want to buy an Ampero Press it's a little too small for my liking. What other expression pedals work with the stomp? What's the potentiometer reading on the press?

[@ThePedalGuy]

Any expression pedal will work. It doesn’t have to be the Ampero Press

[@AradhyaOnBass]

@@ThePedalGuy Are you sure? I've had issues with a few multi effects processors in the past and expression pedals

[@ThePedalGuy]

@@AradhyaOnBass you can double check with Hotone if you like but I’m quite sure.

[@SerEmSerOficial]

Hi excellent video! But I have some questions because my English is average. 1. When we buy this new Ampero 2, the switch pedal included in the package? 2. When I switch banks on the extra switch pedal the sound doesn't change, right? It's like in "standby mode". 3. When I switch the banks on the Ampero (now I don't mean the pedal switch), I mean by stepping on two switches at the same time, will I also get "standby mode"?

[@MikaelLewisify]

The extra footswitch and/or expression pedal is not included

[@markrebetzke7693]

Hey mate, Do you have to use the cable supplied with the switch? I'm trying to use a generic 1/4" guitar cable and only the first switch works

[@MeanMaoriMean555]

Thank you for this valuable information Sir. Really appreciate this video. 🙏 I’m looking at buying a stomp. I was seriously looking at the line 6 HX stomp, maybe XL or Pod Go, but now I’m seeing this recently released Ampero 2….lol. I’m hearing great things about it. But I have 2 questions for you. I understand snapshots is about using 1 preset to do 3 different things in HX. That seemed like a persuasive feature. Q:1 Does Ampero 2 have snapshots. If not it… is it even necessary on a unit like this? Q:2 Does it have a capo function? Many thanks once again.

[@One2three895]

It doesn’t fix the problem of only either one of the function is available at a time because it only has one exp/fs input ..I have both the expression pedal and foot switch but i can’t figure out how to make them both function at the same time ..plz advise..and thx for your video!

[@ThePedalGuy]

If you use an Ampero Control that will get the job done.

[@One2three895]

Thanks!

[@santana2420]

Is it possible to connect 2 exp pedals?

[@ThePedalGuy]

With an Ampero Control, yes

[@Fabioaria]

What about the Wah ? How can we have tthe wah function in one pedal including the switch ON/OFF?. In other words, is it possible to set an expression pedal like in the Ampero I, where the included pedal also has the switch function ? thx

[@ThePedalGuy]

Unfortunately no, as the Exp pedal input doesn't have a toe switch input. It's the same with the Headrush gigboard. A Toe switch input is needed in this case. However, if you were to use an Ampero Control along with an expression pedal, it would be a decent workaround.

[@scottbronder]

Yeah.. I feel like not dealing with ring and tip like Helix is a miss here.

[@kentwyngaard8803]

Great video as always! I have an issue when using the Ampero Press as an expression and volume pedal at the same time. Hotone and every KZbinr advertise this pedal as being able to "use expression and volume at the same time". But I can't seem to have them do volume and expression independently. So my chain is as follows: Guitar to input of Ampero Press; Output of Ampero Press to input of Ampero unit; Expression out of Ampero Press to Exp 2 input of Ampero unit. When I'm trying to use a wah effect with this setup, it also affects the volume at the same time. How can I use the wah effect separately from the volume being affected with this setup? Please help. I appreciate it

[@johnong2655]

Unfortunately, that's the way to make them work at the same time, but there's no way to work separately. Hope Hotone would allow more expression assigns on the unit and the ability to turn on/off, but using expression range.

[@kentwyngaard8803]

@@johnong2655 Thanks for the response. I thought as much. Guess I’ll have to use the Press for volume and the built expression pedal for the expression side of things. They work perfectly that way

[@johnong2655]

@@kentwyngaard8803 I just realized it might work with MIDI expression like the Ampero control. You can set multiple parameters to one expression. Then set one of the footswitches to switch on/off for 2 blocks, 1 for wah, another for volume. The downside is having a bulky setup and having to connect the MIDI controller to an editor each time when you set up a new patch.

[@kentwyngaard8803]

@@johnong2655 I’ve got the Ampero control as well now. Waiting for the midi cable to arrive. I’ll try your suggestion and see what the results are

[@kentwyngaard8803]
