Hit this Like button everytime i repeat the name "Hotone Ampero Mini"!
There is NOTHING of this quality that even comes close at this price point. Boss is the best. To get the best of the best for this price is insane!
great review as always !! thanks for your unbiased opinion! will you try the Genome from Two Notes ? you may like it !
The custom IR definitely helps the sound.
For a product with IR in the name the included ones are not great...
11:20 why boss and not ampero mini? Sometimes you are just after simplicity, you want your guitar plugged in with decent sound. If you dont need millions of amp models, but want to be able to use your headphones and hear your modulation effect pedals - you need FX loop. And if you want to squeeze something on your pedaltrain nano then you want Boss IR-2 :) I think it wins with simplicity and practicality. Unfortunately not necessarily with over driven tones from what I can hear on youtube... I cant get my hands on this one either as there is no stock anywhere in the UK atm
I'm probably not the target audience either, but it could be a decent backup solution for many different setups. It could certainly get you through a gig if your main rig fails. Other solutions as you suggested may be superior for that purpose, but given it's form factor, I can see the IR2 actually living on a pedalboard on a permanent basis for that purpose alone.
Pedalboard Guys are a different breed! I recently found out there are clubs here in the UK where for a monthly fee they send you a different one every few weeks.
Jimmy, you gotta try tonex. I recommend the big pedal. Get an overdrive to pair with it and youre golden
I'm on it!
If you need a small portable modeler I don't see why you'd pick this over an HX Stomp, MX5, or FM3. It's cheaper but once you add an overdrive, a delay, etc. you might as well get the MX5 or HX stomp.
If you're a gigging musician and already have a pedal board maybe you'd get it for Boss's durability. My Boss pedals from the 80s and 90s still work.
Good point, another couple hundred easily to turn it into a viable live rig.
I love my HX Stomp, but the power supply is just meh. It does great on my pedalboard, but for smaller travel gigs I’ll do Boss + Zoom MS-70CDR for everything else apart from gain.
I'm sure we'd all like to thank you for the vid and your sponsor, Hotone Ampero Mini.
My Sonicake Matribox 1 smokes this boss ir2. Nice review mate 🔥
If you want a solution for touring that can also work on batteries - Boss is for you. Every other pedal these days requires power supply. On top of that boss is super reliable and built like a tank. I have my doubts about road worthy-ness of Hotone and toneX on tour. I really do. Last, but not least it’s the easiest solution that does not require you to use computer at all. Just tweak settings like you would do on the regular amp. There is no other solution on the market except Strymon iridium that can beat that easiness but iridium doesn’t work on 9 V batteries.
But obviously I don’t think it’s great for modern metal 🤷🏻♂️
Cuando llega a colombia
Its a good paperweight? I got nothing😂 regular pedals have no place for me with the helix/headrush stuff in full honesty 🤷♂️
Same here, I look at the mess of wires and grounding issues of a huge Pedalboard and get instant second hand irritation lol
The IR-2 became irrelevant when the ToneX One hit the market, If the Ampero Mini had an FX loop for my ToneX One, it would be a super mini pedal board!
Great shout actually I need to get one of those in for review next !
I think people tend to gravitate to boss products over others because of their unparalleled latency management.
Yeah, i dont get the hype.
I cant find anyone else saying anything negative about it on CZcams..
Seems to me like the target demographic for this is the "impulse buy" crowd. I also don't see the great appeal after watching your demo. Just another boss pedal with boss flavor. It's fine, but isn't anything evolutionary.
