I developed a stompbox amp/processor that they'd have to call "Ampero Zero" because it uses a virtual touch interface projected onto a piece of plastic, like a teleprompter.
Someday I'll make the most compelling product blurb ever and finally get funded lol
Sounds great! Close micd.
But how does it sound in the room.
Listened to Cameron Cooper; his playing sounds fantastic with the Yamaha thrx. Played it at guitar center, and .....naw.
So please give us a real feel sound. Thanks for your time and effort!
Nice to see you following up on ampero coverage. I got the ampero one after watching your extensive videos.
You're old when you can hurt yourself sleeping.
That's a pretty good metric to go by. The first day spent in full realization of that just being a thing for you now is spent soley battling the gravitational pull of self-pity.
🤣🤣 I was just talking about this at work today! Lol
Checks out!
Oh man, I feel that. My Grandpa used to always say "invest in good shoes and a good mattress because that's where you'll spend most of your life". WISDOM.
Damm
Thanks for the intro, I always love my gear demos with a side of existential dread 😂 Great demo, sounds absolutely fantastic. Amazing that these days, you could spend a few hundred on this, a good interface, and a pair of decent headphones and cut an entire album in your office.
Yes and also fit it in your back pocket (if you have large back pockets). Thanks dude!
Thank you for doing this review. I was just wondering about this thing as I just saw one. Exactly one on Reverb for sale. I like that you can use a standard pedal board power supply and that it's so small.. Love that.. I also like the high gain tones you were getting for sure. Technology is so great now. When I was a kid I would have given anything for something like this.. It sounds good to me.. I love how small it is too.. One could use it for amps and stuff and just add a couple other things on your pedal board and you could record and gig going direct and be set.. Great price too!
Thanks brother. Have a great day man!
I'm 33. I feel way better than I did in my 20s!
🥳
Great review. It's just crazy how good multieffects pedals got and IR features are a godsent.
Thanks dude! Yes, it is crazy!
I feel like its more of an amp modeler than a effects pedal
Great video as always Taylor! 🤘🏼 Thanks a lot.
Quick question… does the Ampero Mini have “Scenes” or something like it? I just need the 3 basic sounds, CLEAN, RHYTHM and LEAD. But I don’t seem to find any information about this yet 🤔
There's one aspect where the original Ampero was better than the 2 stomp. At least when the stomp was released it had much higher latency than the Ampero when I tested both at a music store. Like, it was really noticeable.
BTW, your quick and dirty camera setup looked sweet!
Thanks dude! I've never noticed any latency with anything. I think I might be numb to it because people mention latency with effects units all the time, and I can never tell.
@@TaylorDanley You can tell those people haven't performed in a decent stage lol. You have more latency with all the wires and and the amp over 10 meters away from you. If you have an iem, that's another latency.
I dig it. I love seeing all of these companies challenging each other to push the status quo. Building a tiny rig around this would be kinda cool.
Maybe one day we'll have a modeler the size of a tap tempo 😂
Nah, we'll just have the one knob app that you can download directly to your brain.
Y'know what would make the world much better, and I really hope is a thing soon? A standardised amp profile format. If you could put the same file in this or a Kemper or a Quad Cortex or whatever else and the only difference was the interface, form factor, build quality etc.
I mean, I kinda doubt it'll become a thing for commercial reasons: it's just not in a company's interests to let another basically steal their selling point of.a large library of profiles. Which is a shame.
I'll just remind you, mini costs about 240-250. It is more than twice cheaper thsn ampero 2. Would be clever to compare the sound of ampero 2 and mini back to back
Definitely gunna buy this
Do you think it's possible to use simultaneously on an amp/frfr and a PA, cause I see only an output? Actually I use this configuration no my mooer ge150, but this one looks better and obviously smaller.
im getting this this weekend.
🥳
Cool new vid Taylor. You’re always on top the new stuff man. Quick question. Can u stack overdrives on the mini and ampero II?
Keep up the great work and thanks for your responses in the past.
So with the OG ampero, you are more limited because you have pre-assigned blocks. But I believe you have 2 that can be used for distortion/od pedals. In the Ampero 2 you have blocks that you can assign whatever you want to.
After some recent updates you can stack drives on the original Ampero.
You can also move all the blocks in any order.
I move the spring reverb before the amp block on clean tones to tame the bright/brittleness.
@@trampasnewberry2626 Awesome man. Thank you for the info.
What do you use to connect the amp modelers to a real speaker?
In your opinion, would purchase the mini or stomp 2 . Currently debating which one to buy. Cheers
Hey! When did you get the EVH cab? Like it?
Where can i find the info that the mini is actually the small version of the 1st generation ampero? i thought it's just a small version of the ampero II, it doesn't make sense that they're using the old tech.
when i say tech i mean the sound modeling, not the GUI
Nice!
I just bought one on special for 170 dlls, i'm fkn exited, it was an awesome deal 💪
does the software/editor for Ampero Mini work seamlessly on MacOS? (I am running a MacBook Air M2) TIA :)
Sounds good
O i see Red Chord on your poster that's a really cool band
I'm 45 an you did great videos and by the way when I learn from Yours videos I feel like 18 so Greetings from Jaro perfect job 🤘🤘🤘
💪💪💪💪💪
I think you can use midi through usb out, like in zoom ms pedals
Thanks for pointing that out. I said that initially but cut it out because I was unsure.
When you are getting called "Old Geezer" you know you are old.
Owner of the ampero one b.t.w.
Love that pedal. If this sounds as good, it will be fun.
Man if it was battery powered/rechargeable- would definitely upstage the positive grid spark series. This sounds much more present.
There's no midi connection. Can I connect an external footswitch (eg. with four switches) or whatever to select presets? Otherwise this device looks useless to me...:(
if i heard it correct u cant use midi controller to it?
You know you're old when everyone starts calling you sir. Lol
Oh shit, well I was old 10 years ago then..
I have ampero2 stomp but I am going to sell it and get the mini just because mini has the drum metronome and 2 stomp doesn’t.
Nice Toy, but whats the price?
Got my Ampero OG for 272 Euro in Amazon. Hope this unit is under 200 Euro. 😅
But, important question @taylordanley :
Could you, please, make an tutorial how to reamp with the Ampero OG, or Modellers at all?
Would be great to know, what Inputs, reamper needed, etc. 🤘🏻
Love your content!
Greets from Bavaria! 🍻
I haven't done any tutorial content in a while, have I 🤔 not a bad idea.
@@TaylorDanley would be awesome! 😊 cause, there is not much helpful content about it, and i know you would make that really great!
Thanks forward, if you're motivated for this topic 😅🤘🏻👍
Im 49 and get never old 😎
💪
Have you ever noticed the original Ampero changes tones after you exit the tuner? Am I having a stroke and forgetting it doing this? I literally need to set my tones for post tuner, then every time I turn on the pedal, tune first or else and the switch to post tuner. It gets much louder and has more top end.
Perhaps it's something in global settings? So weird
No, I don't think I've ever noticed that. In fairness, I haven't used an Ampero for any reasonable amount of time since I bought my Axefx to replace it a few years ago.
@@TaylorDanley The things you find out when cutting corners eh? 😛
Fractal audio should do this too ❤❤❤❤
OMG I would buy 10!
@@TaylorDanley 😁👌🏼👌🏼
For me 1 will do for home practice and hotel room practice before the gig etc
Ho-Tone with amp SETTING "P00-1". Got it.
Trying to break down the third wall isssue I can't solve?? I have a electric guitar with a built in speaker and I want to plug into a multi effects pedal such as the Ampero mini and output to the speaker but I can't as it is? The said guitar has a 1/4 inch output jack a DCin and then a headphone jack..... Any way to do this that someone may know how too?? Thanks!
you probably can’t unless it has an aux in for playing mp3s or something…
@@QuikdethDeviantart It does have an aux in so could probably 3.5 to 3.5 from the modeler...hmmm
@@SuperCMO79 there ya go!
do Zoom GCE-3.
Tiny as well.
cool 👍👍👍👍
This or the Spark Mini?
I like it. I wish they had added some of that dev time into the Ampero 2 Somp though.
Also, you are pretty old, if you ask my kids. (I'm 50 :D )
ada amp biat bass?
Speaking of old? I just turned freakin' 47 today.
Whut Dafuq!!
Given my former Punk Rock chemical lifestyle?
I never thought I'd really ever live this long until post recovery.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Don't do drugs kids!
M'kaaaay?
On the bright side?
I'm no longer an addict and now have a modestly decent apartment pocket studio.
So there's always hope.
LMAO!
Great demo and channel BTW Taylor.
It's a shame it doesn't do MIDI. I was set to buy it right away.
Someone else mentioned, but you may be able to do it through USB. I have no idea though. Personally, I like the stomp 2 more!
Marcelo,a Ampero Mini tem MIDI via USB. Vou comprar a minha em breve!
So the ampero mini is better then the ampero 2 stomp if i'am right?
I’ll go into detail between the two more on Mondays video
Still waiting for the 48 kHz version.
I bought mine yesterday and it made my Zoom G14 sound like a toy
If you wake up more than once to pee in the night , you're probably old .
0:43 “Old” is when you’re unable to hold in a fart without shitting yourself.
😂 🤔 😬 😞
Bro that shirt is fucking legit
there's midi through usb
Has Hotone heard of this newfangled tone capture the kids are all taking about?
I too am 38 I feel old, but that’s because I have kids lol
I have kids too bro, don't let your kids make you feel old. They are a blessing and should revitalize you. Example - go play nerf guns with your kids and pretend you are 7 again.
Bubbler was a Freudian slip
Funny thing, I used to work at a distribution center for head shops. We called it the bong warehouse, but you couldn't technically say "bong" back then, so we called them water buffalo. We thought this was funny because, of course we were using the "water buffalo" before and after work. That was like 15 years ago though, and probably the last time I owned a bubbler lol.
Ngl but the sonicake matribox amp and cab models sound better, and it's cheaper than the hotone mini. I say save up and get the stomp instead of the mini
That thing was pretty cool! There's a lot of really great stuff out there these days.
@@TaylorDanley i agree 💯%
Great review as always my man 🔥
What do you prefer for metal tone. Nux mg 30 vs ampero mini ?
Same question
Hot One
or Ho Tone
but one of those can be misconstrued as offensive
No wonder Wang's Amplification sort of fell off the earth - branding is important even if your product is great
Wow, super disappointing it uses the OG software/firmware, but honestly, if you already own an Ampero, or Helix, this could act as your post Amp block just for the FX and IR section, and the price is right honestly.
Though, they should have used that AUX In as a MIDI In instead, because that functionality is way more important.
Yeah that's true, when you take price and functions into consideration, there is a lot you could use this for!
Is it really the tech from the 1st gen inside? Or do you guys mean just the interface / operating system?
You're old, when you start saying stuff like "nostalgia was better in the old days" and "-20 degrees was colder when I was a kid"... You'd be right, though! ;-)
Shit, I'm old then..
Tiny Auto Focus... All these gears coming out every year makes me think twice... Should I get one ??
1:16 Thats what she said! 🤭
It pretty much sounds like ass.
But at a price lower than most high-end single function pedals, it is great.
When I was a kid, my "practice" amp was a 10 watt Peavey Rage, that sounded like refried dog shit, served cold on a paper plate.
Having a unit like this that you can just slap on some headphones, have all the effects, and even a crappy drum machine, probably would have coaxed out a lot more inspiration to practice, and write.
Along with learning how to integrate effects, eq's, and signal routing.
At its price and ability, I think it serves its place in the market very well.
Maybe it's "Hot One"? 😂
Well that's awkward..
As an older guy, reviews like this one are always difficult for me. Because I am the dad-rock / beer-rock generation and most modern digital guitar things are demoed on ultra clean and high gain metal chug-like tones. And I am always left wondering - can this thing sound like a cranked jtm45... so can it?
Also - I call it ho-tone. So there.
Im usually perfectly fine with the tones i get from pedals like this, i suppose dad-rock types might find gear like this to sound fake but id say these get the job done just fine
@@justaamateur6533I agree. These things get the job done and 99% of people complaining about tone, comparison to real amps or elite millionaire profilers are just so full of s... As they surely playing on their rooms, recording on a cheap laptop and or playing gigs in bars where people don't give a rats ass about "tone".
where i can buy this?
Good question! I would have linked it if it was on Amazon. My guess is it will be soon, they are still having supply chain issues and getting things stocked in the US takes longer than it used to.
@@TaylorDanley Thanks, I suggest so also. I love small and capable units like this, I hope it is as affordable, as possible.
This thing is missing effects loop. Too bad.
No fx loop? what a shame...
womp womp
Jazzy piano lounge music tucked in the background 😂😂😳😱🤮😂
Yay I made the patreon list and best part, I’m right on top of your mom😉
BOOM
Bro you are not 38
I thought you were in your 20s
Thanks dude, I do what I can to stay young lol.
Don't understand why doesn't come out with Midi.
Come on Hotone, two footswitch and don't give us the chance to improve the minishi+ with an Ampero control?
Bro... Youre gonna blink and youll be 45... (My age)... Ugh... We stay young at heart though... 🤘
Totally. That's why I try to take things slower these days.
eehhhhh sounds like a toy tbh but i still play tube amps
All guitar gear are toys.
What's with guitar dudes looking like their 28 when they're pushing 40 or in their 40s.
My goodness. Is everyone a metal head? How can you tell how good it is if you’re using those overly distorted sounds?
At 48 years old....I feel,act and look 30....so it's subjective 😂 that ampero mini is so tiny and cute. You'd be stuffed if your fat and have huge chubby fingers.
lol, I think all the screens are the same though, so you'd have that problem with any of them.
Ho(e) tone 😂 I always thought it was "hot one", but since they are Chinese (?) I guess your pronounciation is more likely to be correct.
nice, small and stupid thing. I have ampero one, it's much better than this, imho
This ain't supposed to be better or a replacement tho? This is just something you can buy for your first multi-fx or to take with you.
@@zekkari27 ampero one 300 euro, ampero mini 230 euro. Why should I buy this new device as my first or take it with me?
@@ariets Some people use the Ampero mainly as an interface anyway and have it on their desk. I have an original ampero and this actually appeals to me. Or, let's say it would if it still had MIDI controls. Then I could even use it on my pedal board.
So what's better on that Ampero One?
@@MegaAndyGG midi controls and slightly larger display from what I can see on first glance
great collection of awful sounds in a tiny package
But it has touch screen😅
FIRST !!! learn how to play music then test pedals ! Pls !
What a missed opportunity that this thing doesn't have MIDI. I would have loved to use it as a swiss army knife to expand on my board and trigger different presets remotely. This + MIDI would have been perfection for the product category
I believe it does, through usb c.
