The Hotone Ampero Amp Modeler / Effects Processor is a game changer! It's heart-pounding amp modeling and uber-quality effects are powered by the new-gen, dual-DSP CDCM HD (Comprehensive Dynamic Circuit Modeling High Definition) & F.I.R.E. (Field Impulse Response Enhancement) system. Packaged in a lightweight case with a 4″ hi-def color touch screen, Ampero delivers all the real sounds of rock... past and present. Built on Hotone's powerful XTOMP, acclaimed Binary Series, and breakthrough VStomp Amp virtual plugin, the CDCM HD & F.I.R.E. system showcases Hotone's new high-shelf circuit modeling methods. Unlike the static state circuitry of most mainstream modeling, CDCM HD & F.I.R.E. technology “rebuilds” the entire circuitry using modeled electronic components, resulting in a tone that is vivid, accurate, and expressive. CDCM HD & F.I.R.E. provides Ampero with 64 amplifier models, 60 cabinet models, 100+ legendary pedal models, and mic type/position simulations. In addition, Ampero shares the same 244 effects as the ever-growing XTOMP library, as well as 50+ new Hotone original effects and so much more.

Ampero can handle up to nine effect modules simultaneously and even includes a user-custom IR loader with 3rd party IR support. Ampero is incredibly easy to set up and program. A straightforward user interface features a 4″ 800 x 480 touch screen with a dynamic color display and three quick-access knobs for hands-on parameter tweaking. Its four assignable footswitches with halo LEDs and built-in expression pedal only add to Ampero's overwhelming benefits to electric instrumentalists, acoustic players, and keyboardists alike.
