Thank you Leo. Another very useful educational video. I just received the unit couple of days ago. I found the amp sounds excellent and cabs also excellent. They seem to take less DSP then IR so can easily use 2 amps 2 cabs. If you place CAB at the end of the chain you can split and send one output to PA with the CAB and the other prior to split to power amp with guitar speakers. This is my first Ampero product. Do you think, the amp and cab sounds are significantly improved from the old?

Leo congrats. You put the most valuable videos of the gear on youtube! I am little bit confused of DSP capacity of this unit. What if I would like to combine chain which have 2 amps, 2 cabs, 2 reverbs, 2 delays? Is it possible or not? I really wanted to buy BOSS 1000 CORE but your videos about Ampero made me thinking!

@LeoGibsonGtr

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Mike, there are two considerations: 1) the firmware and the software are in their infancy....so the algorithms could be optimized in future firmware upgrades allowing us to use more effects blocks 2) the amp and the cab are pretty taxing the DSP and therefore if you use two amps you are limited in terms of other effects you can put. For sure the GT 1000 core allows you to put more amp and effects in the chain. Thank you!

Grazie Leo, sei stato chiarissimo come sempre. Una curiosità : sui delay non c'è la possibilità di settarlo con ottavo puntato? Non l'ho visto sulla schermata che hai proiettato... O forse è solo quel tipo di delay (analog) che non ce l'ha, mentre altri lo prevedono? Grazie!

Hello Leo, your demo videos are very instructional. Thank you very much. I ask whether the following set is possible: Two guitars (one electric and one acoustic) into the two inputs, then two separate chains with different effects and amps - > at the end a mix of both chains - that's an A/B-Y set, ok. But my question is, would it be possible to send this A/B-Y-mix also to both outputs (identical on both) or only to one output, left or right?

I am interested in this for multi fx use. I am curious if you skip the amp and IR blocks can you add additional fx blocks. Ultimately, I want my existing stereo fx to be able to be used in series or parallel modes. I want to replace my NUX Mod Core with programmable presets and use certain combinations of different delays when needed. I am impressed with the power this fx unit has. I am not really interested in amp models, but what I have heard sound really good.

Grazie per questo video davvero esplicativo! Ho letto il manuale ed ho visto che si fa distinzione tra Preamp ed Amp. Sono un po' confuso. Un blocco Amp sarebbe un combo che include Amp e Cab? Un po' in stile Helix Stomp? Mentre il blocco Preamp si dovrebbe utilizzare in accoppiata con un Cab tra quelli disponibili?

@LeoGibsonGtr

2 жыл бұрын

Ciao, non esattamente. Un blocco amp è costituito da un preamp ed un power amp, mentre il cab contiene solo la cassa. Se ad esempio vuoi usare un preamp valvolare esterno, allora nell'Ampero puoi selezionare solo il power amp ed accoppiato ad un blocco cab. Se invece vuoi usare un power amp ed un cab ad esempio di un plugin (come torpedo wall of sound), puoi selezionare nell'Ampero solo il preamp. Trovo sia una soluzione molto flessibile. Spero chiaro.

Hi - I was considering moving from Pod GO to Ampero II Stomp for the following reasons: Limited DSP on Pod GO, Limited effects for Acoustic Guitars (not simulators, but to use my real acoustic steel and nylon guitars). 1. Has the DSP management improved with new firmware, and is the Ampero II more powerful than Pod GO in terms of over-all DSP? 2. Is there any noticeable latency in complex chain? 3. Is Ampero better to use with a real acoustic guitar? With POD I just use acoustic IR that I made. For Ampero I see that it has Piezo optimizer, Acoustic amps, but I see no demos to demonstrate this, or if they are good. It's unclear if the acoustic IRs are for use with a real acoustic guitar, or to use with magnetic electric guitar. I worry that those features might use all the DSP with no room for reverb. 4. I would like to do dual cabinet (or dual amp) to thicken some sounds. It looks like you are limited to 6 blocks each if you split the path. So if I do a complex chain with 8 effects, I cannot split to two cabinets at the very end? Since I must keep the overall chain under 6 blocks per cabinet? I'm concerned if it would really be better than Pod GO for this use.

Hi, interesting questions... For the questions related to the acoustic guitar, you can check out this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nGmb1ad-hLm0abQ.html I have not checked the DSP improvements with new firmware, therefore I cannot tell. As regards latency, for me it is not an issue. When you use a double amp setup in the Ampero you are gonna use almost all the DSP. Thank you

Ciao Giovanni, dipende da cosa inserisci nei blocchi. Ad es. un doppio amp e cab consuma parecchia DSP e quindi non puoi sfruttare i 12 blocchi, se usi mono delay puoi usarne diversi, etc. Quindi in effetti dipende un pò da che tipo di catena effetti vuoi riuscire ad implementare.

A weak point of this system seems to be that if you want split the signal chain to use only 1 or 2 blocks, you're definitely losing the other ones in the split...for instance, i use all 6 in the first line, then I split to get only a parallel amp and IR and I cannot use the rest 4 blocks to complete my signal chain in the first line
