Wow.. that tone is bang on good.

[@jayguitar]

Glad you enjoyed it! The tone catch is a great features - really ups the tone game on the Ampero 😊 Have an awesome day!

[@jordiumethar4963]

It works very well from what you show us in the video. You look very excited, so it is a very good product.🤘🏻

[@jayguitar]

Absolutely Jordi. It is really simple to hook up and the captures sound fantastic. Really enjoying using it. Have an awesome day!

[@iwilrage]

You're just an awesome dude.

[@jayguitar]

Very kind of you 🙏🏽 thanks dude! I appreciate it. You’re totally awesome too! Have a fantastic day!

[@gabrielstevens41]

Killer demo Jay!

[@jcugnoni]

This is absolutely great. Thanks for the video and the amazing tones!

[@jayguitar]

Glad you enjoyed it. I am loving the tones! The Tone Catch function has been a game changer for the Ampero. Have an awesome day!

[@andrewgerfalcon6050]

Awesome 🎉

[@bjquebedeaux3597]

You're awesome Jay! I have a request brotha! If it's not too much to ask will you capture that beautiful RANDALL you have sitting there and if you have an Uberschall i will gladly compensate you sir! Thanks!

[@jayguitar]

Hey dude, I would so love to do that but the Randall hasn’t worked in a while I’m afraid. There is an issue with the power section that needs fixing. It’s a shame as it is a good sounding amp when working but seems to have been made of glass inside. Drop me an email anyhow and if I get it working I would be happy to do some profiles. Have an awesome day!

[@ChadLaniewski]

Love it brother! We were friends on FB but lost you man. We were both on Steve Vai's label Digital Nations together

[@jayguitar]

Hey brother! Whats up! Its been a minute eh? How are you? All is good here Chad. You still recording and releasing? I deleted Facebook and Instagram accounts a couple of years ago but have been on KZbin 😊 Its great to hear from you. Hope all is rocking and rolling brother! Have an awesome day!

[@Nathan.Hancock]

Great Vid Jay! The tone catching feature is crazy cool!! How long have to play with this crazy cool piece of gear?

[@APlagueOfButterflies]

Ari I miss you and the podcast!!!

[@jmartinez2367]

Great tones, Jay! Question: if I do not have a load box, is there another way to connect directly to an amp, such as through the amp effects loop? My Engl Fireball 25 has a line out, so I think that connection will work for that amp, but most of my other amps don’t have a line out.

[@jayguitar]

Thanks man! I appreciate it! I have checked the manual but please do double check this with Ebgl directly before trying this ok? The Fireball 25 (the E366 amp) seems that you have a power reduction/attenuator on the back of the amp? Is that correct? If you do have the amp I am looking at the manual for then the line out seems to be a tap from the power amp section and is designed to be fed into a cab loader or another power amp, so that could be used into something like the Ampero as it is a 0db signal. But like I said, please do double check by sending an email to Engl tech support to make sure that is what it does - I am pretty sure it will be ok but as its your amp and possibly your Ampero, double checking is always a wise choice as I wouldn't want you to cause damage to either piece of gear 😊 🙏 Hope that helps and please do let me know what Engl says. Have an awesome day!

[@jmartinez2367]

@ thank you very much for the reply! I have the Ampero II Stage and the catch through the line out worked great this morning. For my other amps, I may get a Torpedo X for the tone catches.

[@jayguitar]

Oh fantastic! that’s great to hear it worked!

[@TheTactical6string]

so is the only difference is a couple less buttons and the bluetooth from this to stage?

[@jayguitar]

Yes that’s correct. The form factor is smaller, and of course, there is an expression pedal on the Ampero II whereas the Stage doesn’t have that built in. Have an awesome day!

[@MrGlowBaby]

Hey Jay, your Tone Pack blurb says these tones won’t work with the Ampero ii Stomp Is that correct? Or will it be available at a later date for the stomp Cheers Chris

[@jayguitar]

Hey dude, that’s a great point you make! I know that Hotone recently updated the firmware on the Stomp to include the Tone Catch so these should work on the Stomp now. I haven’t tested them on my Stomp yet though 🙏🏼 Have an awesome day!

[@tommanseau6277]

So this form factor and feature set are becoming popular acme this unit looks great. I love your enthusiasm and energy 🤘! I know this is a sponsored video, but how does it stack up against something like the Headrush Flex Prime, which from the advertising looks very similar? I can guess all I want, but there's no replacement for the human experience and the Ampero simply isn't available locally. And Afghan, seriously, thanks for putting the videos together as i know how much work these are.

[@jayguitar]

Thanks man! I appreciate it 🙏 Thats a great Q and I would be more than happy to answer but I don't have experience with the Headrush Prime. I did look into it and reach out to the company some months ago but alas it didn't go anywhere. Maybe I'll get the chance to check it out at some point as I would like to know myself. Have an awesome day!

[@tommanseau6277]

@@jayguitar Well, I can now say a little about the Headrush unit as I tried one out and previously had the MX-5. The Flex Prime is a definite step up in most respects to the MX-5, and they both are the same chassis. It has better amp simulation, better sound quality, but the reverbs are pretty much directly from the Eleven rack, which isn't a real compliment. The interface is really good and the web browser based editor is really good. But I don't think the amps sound that realistic finding the 5150 kind of fuzzy and congested in the midrange, and wouldn't clean up with the guitar volume knob or reducing gain in the model. It's a shame because it has so many cool features at a fantastic price. But now I've got the Ampero II on the way. I'm really hoping I can coax half the goodness of of it that you did🤟.

[@jayguitar]

@ I really appreciate you sharing your experience with the Headrush. I’ve loved the Ampero tones. I created preset packs for the Stage and also the Tone Catches now as I was so happy with the tones. It feels great to play too. Hotone have done a great job with it. I’ve tried some of the other units and they have sounded good, but for me the tones on the Hotone seem to sound more organic. Enjoy your Ampero when you have it and I’d love to hear about what you think of it when you do have it.

[@notacommie5415]

If I bought one are those presets and tone captures available for sale? Don’t have 30k worth of amp heads to sample with cabs or a load of with IR

[@jayguitar]

Hey dude, yes, I have a preset pack for Ampero and a Tone Catch Patch available on my webstore - bit.ly/ToneCatchPack - have an awesome day!

[@dananthony6258]

Dude I so want to see the secret amp video now.

[@MrGlowBaby]

I can download tone catch on my Ampero 2 Stomp (.tone files ) Please confirm these files end in .tone Cheers Bro Love your playing btw

[@TheStinkyDinkyBand]

Man. Wish I was that happy about something. Anything. Pooping. Breathing. A trampoline might be cool.

[@carlomaramba16]

Hello jay. I just wanna know if u use ampero switch or any dual footswitch, can it be use as a bank up bank down on ampero? So u will not use the 1+2 and 2+3 switch on the ampero 2 itself. Pls response. Thankyou!

[@jayguitar]

Hey Carlo, thats a great Q 🤔 I have the switch somewhere - I will try and find it so I can test it out. I imagine it would be possible but haven't tried doing that with my unit. Have an awesome day.

[@carlomaramba16]

@jayguitar please give an update about the ampero switch for banking up and down if its possible. Thankyou jay. 🤟🤟🤟

[@jayguitar]

@ apologies dude, I have had zero time to look into this 🙏🏽 my schedule is packed as I am shooting videos and in the studio for the rest of this week. When I get some time I will find the switch and have a play with it.

[@jayguitar]

@ hey dude, I tried out the Ampero switch and it can indeed be set up to bank up and down on the Ampero, so it can free up some switches on the unit. Have an awesome day!

[@carlomaramba16]

@@jayguitar thankyou so much jay! Big help. 🙏🙏🙏

[@jesterraj]

Hey try the Gp 200 by Valeton

[@jayguitar]

Oh yeah that’s a cool processor too. My friend Demetrio Scopelitti has some signature presets on the 200X that he was telling me about. Have an awesome day!
