Hi! Nice video. Quick question: Do I need 2 cables to run both the FS and the XP from the Press 2 into a unit? Meaning, I have the HX Stomp, which only has 1 TRS dual FS/XP input. Does it mean I can only use one of the options for the pedal? Thanks in advace
Don't know precisely if you can solve with a TRS to double TS cable..cause for sure I know that to use the expression feature you need a TRS and not a TS plug. Maybe better to ask directly to Hotone.
Great Video! Two topics that would be interesting for me also: 1. How to reamp with the ampero II stage? 2. How to make midi automation with scenes for live, without chaning while playing? Some ideas for new content 😊 Great Job! New subscriber now 🤘🏻
Honestly y'all. It is pronounced Hot Tone. I heard it from the mouth of one of their marketing directors. Hot. Tone. Great review bro! And killer tones.
Hello Sir! U just earn a new Subscriber. Thank u for this video. Can u make a tutorial video on how u pair the expressions pedal and how to set it pls. I try to connect it but when i step the switch the wah does not on. Greetings from Singapore ❤
Great multi-effect, I have the previous version. I just sometimes have problems with the PC control option. But that's my fault and incompetence. A nice piece for reasonable money. Greetings Pavel CZ.👍👍👍
I'm new to Hotone. Could you set this similar to the Digitech Whammy style? I know it's probably a dumb question, but it's an honest one. Wah to 2+oct etc..
Does MIDI Out/Thru works correctly? i just heard that on Stage MIDI Out is not work (but hotone said they gonna fix that in future firmware) (i don't have Stage, but looking for it to buy)
Just got mine last week and I'm sending it back, the amps sound thin and reminds me of early 2000s virtual amps. Wanted to replace my Tonex pedal with this one as I want to downsize, thats not going to happen, should have gone with line6. Its a shame because the configuration capabilities are insane!
@@MadSteex Hard to improve when the amps dont sound that good, at the bright side I found that turning CAB on sounds much better, weird because I'm using a real CAB and CAB should be turned off to avoid a double filter effect.
Hi Mad ! can you tell me how does it sound the Alchemy Pre whit Bass 0 Mid 10 Treble 7 Volume 7 to a Power Amp Block with the EL34, presence 7 and Master on the edge of break up or direct to 10. The cab a Celestion G12T-75 or simil. Thank you man ! All this with a Strat Single coil
Great tones !! Thanks for the review. I have not run out of DSP on mine but I use a Seymour Duncan Powerstage 200 and two cabinets with Eminence hemp cone speakers. This saves a lot of processing power in the Stage. I use this set up live and in the studio for recording. Amazing sounds from the Ampero 2 Stage. Also…. using the phone or tablet app makes editing very easy for building presets or making changes on the fly during a gig.
if unbalanced outputs is TRS, does that means each output is Stereo? Can i output stereo audio of chain A on unbalanced output L, and output stereo of chain B on unbal R?
There are a lot with different holes and designs, I've bought it for my Quad Cortex and this is perfect because has the holes on the back in the position of the heat dissipation: amzn.to/3WpOxOf
How good is the interface and preamp? I’m looking for an all In one solution to replace my Steinberg UR 22 and get an upgrade my effects processor…. Any help would be appreciated.
@@MadSteex Thays what im shooting for! I was looking at a Helix or Quad Cortex but I think if I go budget on the processor my wife might let me buy a Evertune EC1000. Fingers crossed!
1- You can record directly without powered speakers. 2- double IRs is not for stereo but to mix the 2 different speaker sounds together…never miked a real cabinet with real mics?
Hey! Nice review! I'm wondering if I could use it as a vocal/guitar pedalboard. Does it come with vocal harmonies by "reading" the guitar chords...? Thank you!
@@MadSteex Cool! But does it use the guitar harmonizer for the voice? Or does it have a specific one...? Using the guitar for the voice wouldn't do for me, I believe. With other pedalboards you can add or substract humanity, mess around with male/female voices, etc...
@@baolbardotbulsara into vocal category, you have Pitch Correction and Auto tune which you can choose of course the key and scale, shift and humanize. Regarding the harmonizer, so the tool to use 2 or more key together is under "pitch" and I think is overall, you can choose harmonizer 1 or Harmonizer 2
@@MadSteex hey! Well, I have zero interest in autotune and pitch correction, actually. I own a TC Helicon Voicelive3 that, besides fx and stuff for the guitar, it features fx and stuff for the vocals, and also a vocal harmonizer with which I can chose how many harmonies I want, above, below, 5th, 3rd, octaves, female voices, male voices, and more stuff that I don't believe a guitar harmonizer does. Besides, the most important feature is it can read the guitar chords and harmonize my vocals to that, in real time. So I'm actually looking for a modern, current pedalboard to replace my VL3. The strange thing is you can find almost nothing about the vocal features in the manufacturer's website, nor in the user's manual...
I did not critizise your review nor your presets. My impression of the sound capabilities of this unit is that it is artificial, lifeless, thin and non-authentic.
@@iloveitall a tu criterio propio , cuál para ti sobre el presupuesto de esta hotone , es tu favorita o que tiene mejor sonido ?

The Soul Press II is a cool Pedal. I use that with the Stage II. Volume/Expression/Wah all in one pedal. The Wah sound is very good too
thank you for the very detailed review...
You're welcome! thanks to you!
I just say you're work and performance is mind-blowing I like music channel efforts is amazing
It's time to a chug comparison between ampero 2 stage and headrush core
🤟🤟🤟🤟
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Can you name the scenes?
Excellent video really like it's
I can't connect the app by bluetooth. Also in the manual i can't find how to. Can you make a video how to?

Hey mate ! Any chance we could hear the rhythm patterns ? I can’t find anything at all on them just keen to hear the quality 😊

2. How to make midi automation with scenes for live, without chaning while playing?

Great Job! New subscriber now 🤘🏻
Great! I can also integrate how to record using USB output since you can have different signals at the same time.
About MIDI automations, you mean MIDI inside the DAW or pedals via midi?
@@MadSteex yep, within DAW. For example, when you play with backing tracks and build in midi automation for changing scenes, fx, etc 😃
@@MadSteex yeah! That would be awesome! I've got the ampero mp 100 and i love it. But i will upgrade to the ampero II stage asap 😉🤘🏻
Wow lovely

Good review but where is classic wah on clean sound?
If you want you can use it clean sound too
CAN U SET THE expression pedal to turn the wah or other effect on with just moving it?
You can set some actions to the heel for sure as I remember. Also the change of scene for example
Nice broo ❤
I'm new to Hotone. Could you set this similar to the Digitech Whammy style? I know it's probably a dumb question, but it's an honest one. Wah to 2+oct etc..
Good video. What stand are you using to hold the unit in that desktop position? Just what i need.
Here it is: amzn.to/3uEDuoF
Hello,
can we plug ampero stage into an external steinberg ur24c sound card..
THANKS
@@franginos why not? You can record the stereo output directly into the audio interface
@@MadSteex tank you

Just improve how to create a preset and tweak the settings.

@@ecorona21 see my video of Hotone Mini using real cab. If mine sounds good, here with the Stage should sound good.
@@MadSteex I'll check it out, it would be a shame to return the Ampero.

I can do everything but a strat single coil 😂
Great tones !! Thanks for the review. I have not run out of DSP on mine but I use a Seymour Duncan Powerstage 200 and two cabinets with Eminence hemp cone speakers. This saves a lot of processing power in the Stage. I use this set up live and in the studio for recording. Amazing sounds from the Ampero 2 Stage. Also…. using the phone or tablet app makes editing very easy for building presets or making changes on the fly during a gig.
@@fullcirclesound6498 Yep avoiding the custom IRs saves lot of DSP power.
Just tried with my Gibson, but remains clean, no way to reach the break up, both with pre and with power amp.
what about the pitch shifter? does it work well for down pitch tuning?
Yes!!
if unbalanced outputs is TRS, does that means each output is Stereo? Can i output stereo audio of chain A on unbalanced output L, and output stereo of chain B on unbal R?
No means they are balanced. Stereo is only through L + R
How to assign the volume pedal "hotone press 2", does it only work on trs cables?
I've already shot the video and will be up soon :) anyway Yep, only TRS
NIce video thank you, but where did you buy that Stand for the Ampero , I need that HAHAHA !
There are a lot with different holes and designs, I've bought it for my Quad Cortex and this is perfect because has the holes on the back in the position of the heat dissipation: amzn.to/3WpOxOf
@@MadSteex cheers bro :)
Do you suggest more Ampero or Mooer Ge1000..?
When I'll tryout soon the mooer ge1000 I'll be ready to answer properly :)
How good is the interface and preamp? I’m looking for an all
In one solution to replace my Steinberg UR 22 and get an upgrade my effects processor…. Any help would be appreciated.
My opinion is that is very user friendly and using it as audio interface too makes you save space on your desk getting great quality too.
@@MadSteex Thays what im shooting for! I was looking at a Helix or Quad Cortex but I think if I go budget on the processor my wife might let me buy a Evertune EC1000. Fingers crossed!
ahahahahahaha good luck@@ZO5150
Is better this one or headrush?
I’d like to tryout the last headrush hardware, I only have the Headrush Gigboard which is a bit limited and outdated
Hi Mad, where is it advisable to buy the pedalboard, at Hotone's store or on Amazon?. thanks
On Amazon you can get it faster ;) I’ve left the link in description of the stores where you can find it.
@@MadSteexThanks bro.
What's the need for two IRs at the same time - are you running the unit into two powered speakers for stereo?
1- You can record directly without powered speakers.

sorry.
