"Upgrade" is more than a 7-letter word. It embodies the continuation and evolvement beneath the surface, and embraces revolution and creativity outside the box.

It’s what Ampero II Stomp does. Throughout years of grinding to establish its core technologies from empirical practice, Hotone team proudly presents this soul partner for your sophisticated taste in the sound of the music.

Ampero II Stomp Version 2.2.0 Firmware Release Note

These updates introduce a range of new features and performance enhancements that will take your Ampero II Stomp experience to the next level. Make sure you update your firmware and software to take full advantage of the latest improvements.

Hotone has officially launched Sound Clone, a powerful new black-box modeling technology that brings a major upgrade to the entire Ampero II Series.

As the evolution of Tone Catch, Sound Clone enables users to accurately capture the sound characteristics of real amplifiers and pedals using just a computer and a basic audio interface. It also now supports importing NAM (Neural Amp Modeler) files, providing greater tone flexibility and compatibility across platforms.

With this update, the Ampero II series (Ampero II Stomp, Ampero II Stage, Ampero II) will be the first to support Sound Clone.

Sound Clone Highlights:

- NAM File Support: Sound Clone can now convert NAM files into Hotone’s proprietary .clo format for seamless integration into Hotone devices.

- Expanded Storage Capacity: The optimized data structure now allows users to store up to 30 cloned tones on their Ampero II device.

- Complete Tone Cloning Workflow: Simply play an impulse file through your gear, record the response using your audio interface, and let Sound Clone analyze and generate a .clo tone file that can be directly imported into your device.

- High-Fidelity Tone Replication: Leveraging Hotone’s CDCM HD + F.I.R.E. modeling technologies, Sound Clone faithfully captures complex tonal nuances, delivering an authentic sound experience close to the original equipment.

- Backward Compatibility: Ampero II Series devices support both .tone and .clo formats. Existing .tone files remain usable, and newly imported .tone files will automatically convert to .clo.

Native NAM A2 support is now available for Ampero II and Ampero II Stomp.

With Firmware V1.7.0 and V2.5.0, both devices can import NAM A2 files and load them natively in Lite format. Together with Ampero II Stage, the entire Ampero II family is now ready for NAM A2.

- The latest Ampero II Software V1.5.1 supports Ampero II, Ampero II Stomp, and Ampero II Stage, and is now available from the Hotone website.

- Firmware updates must be performed with Ampero II Software V1.4.0 or later. For the best experience, use the latest V1.5.1 release.
