The Ampero 2 Stomp FX Loop is AWESOME!

Музыка

The Ampero II Stomp FX Loop is a bit different from the ones you'll find on other Multi-fx Pedals as it includes the ability to create in depth routing options by using the FX Send and FX Return as individual effect modules. Watch this quick video to learn more about this as I use a NuX Atlantic reverb. If you want to see more videos on this topic, be sure to let me know in the Comments section. Enjoy!

    You're the only person who has gotten into the specifics of the FX loop. I didn't know there were separate send and return blocks as You're using in the second example. And I see there's mono L and mono R options. So I'm guessing that you can use the loop as 2 independent mono loops (with TRS to dual TS splitter "insert" cables of course). I also am glad to see the separate send and return levels. I use those on Boss GT-1000CORE to keep the return always active on all presets so that my external reverb trails will spill over between presets (even if the send is turned off for that preset). I like the TRS jacks though for my use case, which is the MXR Reverb, which has TRS in and out. But sometimes I do like to run 2 separate external mono loops. I hope the Ampero II becomes actually available soon. I'm afraid to order from the HoTone website, not sure how long the wait will be. But in all demos, the plexis are sounding better to me on Ampero 1 and 2 than on GT-1000 (despite the lower sampling rate and bits). Also, separate power amp sim is awesome. I'm currently running a Mooer Radar after an MXR 5150 OD in one of my Boss loops because the amp modelling on the GT-1000CORE doesn't easily allow you to separate the amp sim and the can IR, and there's no power amp sim, which is crucial. Can you answer one question? I'm wondering if theres any type of trails/spillover on the Ampero II when switching between presets (not just fx on/off). Thanks for this vid!

    Very very cool. This unit really has my interest. If it allowed 48k I'd order it no question. I hope they'll release a firmware update that will allow that. I won't go into details, but it has to do with my day job and interfacing with other audio hardware. A 44.1 limit in 2022? C'mon Hotone! Give us 48k and take my money! :) As far as the FX return goes, I'm curious if it shows up as a raw stereo input in the DAW. If we can treat it like just a generic input for say another source, that would be interesting. The manual makes it appear that is the case but I'd be curious to know. I'm guessing since it's TRS that it'll be an unbalanced stereo input, but I'm still curious.

    I propose a challenge....inserting a looper in the effects loop....to essentially have 2 loopers available. I tried this today, using both the effects loop module, as well as separate send/return modules.....nothing seemed to provide a decent sound. The reason for doing this was to insert a looper that had the ability to save/recall phrases. the main downside is that once looped, you can't change anything in the tone, without effecting the entire loop, no matter where in the chain the loop is.

    Do I put my external looper pedal there using send/receive? I just got it today. Sounds good but how do I toggle patches or effects with my feet when playing a song with multiple parts? Is there something like a MY SET LIST FOLDER. Are there scenes and parameters I can toggle on and off. I can't exactly stop playing to fiddle with the thing. Again, sounds great so far. Could usea littlre more DSP, more switches, better organization(?), longer looper with a drum machine. Tragic they left it out. I have 30 days. Would you recommend the FM9 over this? I know it is better- and 4x the price. I paid $450. I really DO like the tones and tiny form factor of this thing...and it's handy touchscreen. No modeler is perfect I guess. I am also not a pro. Can I change my preset/tone after I make a loop, without effecting the original loop?
