Every version of the Ampero family of Amp Modelers and Effects Processors from our friends at Hotone Audio has come our way, and we’re exctied as always to bring you the latest version today. The Ampero MINI takes everything you know and love about these units and squishes them into a small, compact enclosure, perfect for any pedalboard or tabletop rig. And since there’s no compromise in sound quality or endless IRs, effects, routing, tuning, looping and more, this is one powerful little processor that will BLOW. YOUR. MIND.
Ampero Mini is the smallest guy in the Ampero family so far, offering you un-compromised Ampero sound in an ultra compact aluminum case. It has the essentials of the stunning Ampero effects armory with 3rd party IR support. Onboard essential I/O jacks are more than enough for daily use, and the touch screen and intuitive UI ensures smooth, straight-forward experience on a minimalized chassis. Ampero Mini will offer you excellent performance on the money, especially for players who want to experience Ampero tone, rookies on a budget, session musicians who need both ultra-compact size and pro tone, even experienced amp modeler players
In the past, digital multi effects in general were criticized by public that they produce a dull, lifeless sound. Our aspiration is to eliminate this stereotype and devote our best efforts to make it sound authentic and genuinely feel like what you would perceive from a real amplifier. Based on decades of research and empirical practice in the field of digital modeling algorithm, the Hotone team is able to unveil and unbox the ultimate weapon, the CDCM HD + F.I.R.E modeling technology, a combination and recreation to the mainstream white box and black box modeling technologies. This technology models every component of the original device, building a model that tracks the dynamic variations of the instrument’s input signal, which maximizes the capability for the reproduction of the exact sound characteristics of the modeled object, delivering a more dynamic, deep, in-the-moment tonal feel. International professional musicians who have embraced this technology are enamored by how live play becomes so unbelievably realistic.
The Ampero Mini is equipped with the dual-core digital signal processing platform, which has performance on par with the regular Ampero version, aiming to ensure the authentic Ampero signature sound.
● Main Processor – NXP® RT series A powerful NXP® RT crossover processor is dedicated to the audio engine. With a high clock speed, this processor is very good compared to the Analog Devices® SHARC® DSP loaded in regular Ampero units, which makes it easy to handle multiple high quality effect algorithms.
● Co-processor – NXP® RT series Same as regular Ampero units, the Ampero Mini features a NXP® RT crossover co-processor, which not only helps processing audio streams, but also powers the touch screen display, USB I/O, and other functions.
Other features include:
– 199 effects – More than 100 amp models/cab models/legendary pedal models
– Next-gen mic position and microphone type simulations
– Highlighted Hotone original effects (incl. high quality drive/dynamic/ filter/mod/delay/reverb models and more)
– User custom IR loader with 3rd party IR support
There’s a TON that you can do with the MINI, just like with all the other Ampero iterations, just in a more compact, pedalboard-friendly size. It’s worth it just for the presets alone, which we dive into in the demo video below. But as you dig in and start to explore this machine, you’ll find it holds just about every kind of effect you could ever want or need. Cheers as always to the Hotone Audio crew on another amazing unit – check out their website for more details and more gear, cheers!!
