Hotone Ampero Stomp II vs Ampero: is it worth upgrading? | Amp tone and Effects comparison
With this video we will share a direct comparison between the Ampero Stomp II, versus the Regular Ampero, as many of you have requested. First of all we will share a very detailed comparison chart where we are gonna highlight the main differences between the two units, then we will hear a pretty detailed tone comparison of the two units against a Plexi for overdriven tones and a Fender Deluxe for clean tone, checking out the frequency response, the dynamic range management, the note envelope, etcetera. Then we will also compare the effects of these 2 units, as regards chorus, reverb and delay and finally I will give you my 2 cents. So, I hope you enjoy and please don’t forget to subscribe and hit the bell, as it’s gonna really help me to make more video like this.

Leo, thank you for your time and effort putting this info together. Ampero (MP-100) Firmware updates have added Plexi 100, Black Deluxe, Dumble, Orange AD30, Vibro King, more effects, IR slots for cabs, optimized stock cab IRs in CAB module, etc. They have probably improved Stomp II also.

Hey Leo , thanks for the comparison that was very useful ! I agree that the simulations are pretty identical , I had a hard time to spot significant differences , maybe the old ampero was a bit more bassier . I too noticed a little edge for the Stomp on the effects department. All in all also considering that the drum machine is gone on the Stomp. , not a reason for me to upgrade since my main focus is simulation quality , and I don t need any special connectivity options. As side note since the old Ampero firmware Version 3.8 , there are now 20 custom IR slots available (+ some new effects). Thanks again , have nice day !

I can't find this product anywhere. Is the Ampero Stomp II even real?! Lol, Thomann don't sell it either. Pretty weird.
Hi Leo! Thank you for the reviews. At one time, the appearance of HOTON Ampero and HOTON Ampero one were perceived very positively. Good emulation of the sound of amplifiers and effects. Rugged housing. The presence of a tuner and a drum module at a very reasonable price - what more could a mass buyer want. Exercise at home, rehearsals and small concerts in bars or clubs - processors are ready to solve all these tasks without problems. As for the new model, the switching has been improved, a more powerful processor provides longer chains of effects. The improvement in the sound quality of amplifiers and effects is almost negligible. Probably, if we consider the purchase of a new device, it is worth stopping at the Stomp model. For example, I stay with HOTON Ampero 1. What can be attributed to its noticeable inconvenience is the lack of a power off button. An unfortunate miscalculation of the manufacturer. After all, the savings are minimal. Good luck.

Thank you for your in-depth review. I have been a very happy Ampero user for a couple of years now. I love how this unit sounds, and the form factor. I do rely on the balanced XLR stereo outs, expression pedal, and extra two button footswitch for playing at church. I do realize that I can use TRS to XLR converter cables or DI boxes, and I also realize that I could use the midi controller for extra switches and external expression pedal, however, my current setup fits easily in my gig bag, and the extra hardware would require an extra bag, and some extra setup time. I do have the midi controller, and have used it with my ampero, but have found that it I don't really need it when playing live, and simply don't take it to gigs or to church. I would like to upgrade to the Ampero Stomp II but I suspect that it will be more cumbersome to carry around and use.

H Leo and many thanks for a very impressive, accurate anda enlightning video. Except for an old Boss GT 8, which I really hated, I have kept myself away from digital modelers and stick to a few valve amps. From what I see in this video it is probabily time to give them a chance again.

Hi Rodrigo, you are welcome, and I'm happy you like the video! In the last couple of years amp modeling pedalboards have improve a lot in term of realism and quality...so I think it is worth to give them a try. Thank you!
Thanks for the video, this was quite helpful. I bought the Ampero 2 Stomp in order to set up a nice, and very compact travelling rig. I feel it‘s fantastic, also for small gigs where I don‘t need to switch much between different sounds. For live gigs my Line 6 Helix is still my main rig, there I really need the Snapshots and more foot switches. But the sound of the Ampero is awesome, hope they extend to some higher level models (more foot switches and DSP, but less weight than the Helix… ). Hope also Line 6 takes this as a healthy competition, the sound of the Ampero really surprised me. Big disadvantage of the Ampero is the lack of Snapshots (Line 6) or Scenes (Fractal), hope they come up with a good and unique solution from their side :-)

If I do not have any I'd strongly consider, and probably go with the ASII (the price is not the king for me, even adding extra switch and exp pedal to the cost). BUT, actually having the MP-100 ('big' Ampero), I'd not upgrade to ASII now for my home usage. Maybe, later... I like the new PC app (the editor) for the ASII.

Hi Leo, thank you for your excellent review and hard work. Question: regarding the outputs - I believe, that Stomp II in fact has the option to route out 2 signals: with the CAB or IR block at the end of the chain, you can route XLR out signal with CAB to your mixer or DAW, but you can split the signal prior to the CAB block and place effects loop SEND block to the Power Amp of your choice such as SD 170 with regular guitar speaker cabinet.

Hi Sandro, I think it depends from the types of effects you like the most. In this video I have compared also the effects of the HX stomp vs Stomp II: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZJ-pydGFfq_XgLQ.html Thank you for your message!

@@LeoGibsonGtr thanks I’ll check that video as well, easy of use, and overall characteristics, do you have a preference for one to be used with synths? I’m looking for an option that is easy to take with me on long trips and can be powered (or external battery) and controlled by an IPad Pro with lots of connections for at lease 3 synths (preferably 5)
Hi, thank you vero much for your test. Very interesting. I would to ask you if it is possible to link the two units to use them in a live situation, to have for example the possibility to utilize 6 switch for 6 different presets, the balanced and unbalanced output of the ampero 1 and the better fx effect of the stomp 2.
is there a difference between the Hotone Ampero and the Hotone Ampero ONE? i emailed their customer support but they arent very helpful. at least this video has been very helpful into identifying the differences between the ampero vs ampero stomp so thank you for that!

Thank you Leo for great comparison. Your videos are so in depth. For high gain sound wich generation of Ampero would you recommend? For playing heavy metal with more low end, what is your opinion, would Ampero sound good directly through 15 PA speaker. Wil there be still enough mids? Thank you :)

Hi, in terms of pure amp sounds I think that the Ampero and the Ampero II are pretty similar, but the cab section of the Ampero II is better in my opinion...so I would go with the Stomp II. Thank you for your message and I'm happy you like the video!

Hi, both are pretty good products for the price...both the units offer good sounds and effects. I would say that it depends from your budget (MG 30 price is lower), if you need the expression pedal (available in the MG30), or if you want more amps (the Stomp II has more amps), or more options in terms of parallel effects (Stomp II offers more options).

Hi Leo , Thanks you for your excellent review …I have a question for you, which frfr cabinet do you recommend (headrush, friedman, kemper wood or plastic), or is it better to use a power (ISP or Matrix) and a 2x12 non-frfr cabinet? Please think of it for live use of a small bar.

Hello Leo! I just discovered your channel today! You just got a new sub! I see that you really take care of your community. I found your video really helpful, I also watched the one where you compared this with the hx stomp. I've a difficult situation right now. I'm playing in a band now and I would like to use my electric guitar because I just used the classic flemenca one before. My budget is really limitated and I'm already making a huge effort to spend around 250€ in a product. My question is, what do you recommend me, a Laney Cub 12r (valve amp around that price that doesn't sound bad), am Ampero hotone 1 (it's around 240€) or save money during some months and get the ampere stomp 2? Does it really worth the money to play gigs? The IR Celestion made me hesitate between these two models... I will just connect the Ampero to regular speakers for the gigs, not an amp. Thank you for your time and answer Leo.

Hi, thank you so much, your sub really means a lot me!!! Well, everyone has his own personal preferences...for me, in live situation is almost unbeatable in terms of compromise between tone, easiness, reliability and weight...but that's my opinion obviously, and of course you need good FRFR speakers to get the best tones. As regards Ampero or Ampero Stomp 2, they are both great machines...I think you are gonna be happy with any of the two. Thank you once more!

Thanks for video! Good as always! But there is no answer if the same amp in stomp sounds the same as in original ampero. Or it sounds better/worse. Here we can hear little difference between devices and they close to real amp. But no understanding if there is better modeling in ampero stomp. But there is much more reverbs and modulation for shure =) And little correction: in original ampero 20 IR slots with latest firmware, not 10

Hi! thanks for great review! But what about bass? I have Zoom B3n for my bass guitars which I use directly in line without any amps . And it sounds pretty nice. Especially for it's price ).

Hi Jeremy, thank you for sharing your opinion and your final choice!!
Just a comment: in the first Ampero user can switch presets in the Looper without tone change, only overdub tone is changing. In Stomp II the overall tone changes with preset switching. That's kinda strange, but anyway, the Looper capabilities in both devices are really bad and it's better to have a separate Looper pedal connected to Ampero. This is how I play for now, Ampero One is connected with Ditto Looper. :) P.S. did anyone have a problem with connecting Stomp-II to the PC? My PC can't see the Stomp :(... I've tried anything.
