@artysanmobile 2 месяца назад

I really admire your method, Leo. Editing together a song with cuts at the bar or stanza and IDs corresponding to the sources is an excellent way to appreciate the successes and failures of models and emulations. Listening to the result is much more relevant to actual playing musicians than isolated lines separated by many seconds. Even though the latter can potentially show much smaller differences - potentially, that is - the former is actually music. Very smart choice. Also, I’d like to point out the playback mixes are done with a very high degree of accuracy. Level changes are nowhere to be heard, edits are flawless. I don’t know anyone else who gives us such accuracy and musical integrity.

Thanks for doing this comparison, as I was looking forward to it very much. Your analysis was very accurate, in my opinion. In general, I thought both Modelers sounded a bit darker/less trebles than the real Amp. Tone-wise, the Ampero sounded a little richer/more harmonically complex than the Line 6. The UI of the Ampero, its design, and it's more modern features are very attractive. The Line 6 holds up pretty well, despite its age.

Ampero has odd layout of footswitches - right around the dispay and turnies - for you to stomp and break them effortlessly. I find your english easier to understand compared to native english speakers for me being non-native speaker (OK, more of a writer and listener), it's so cool, and your english is so fluent. What's the accent btw? I also own Ampero Stage. Everyone in the internet already said that it has solid emulation, so my 5 cents of what I like is it having bleeding edge tec, like USB-C, TRS MIDI, touchscreen, wi-fi. And of course nice white color. The video is great, as it compares the same aspects of each device side-to-side in precise "laboratory" way. Almost an scientific article. Also worth to note that I bought Ampero Stage directly from China for about 592$.

Having had both modellers I would say the Ampero is easier to use especially on a gig as it is very easy to make adjustments on the fly as you have the 3 dedicated controls under the screen, which you can easily see and play with . I just feel as you say the HX stomp series is due ,as is the Helix , for a refresh ! probably coming soon so if you fancy an HX or a Helix I would wait !

Leo, great video as always, with these kind of devices, it would be awesome to get an idea of the firmware updates roadmap for our devices, I haven’t take a look at their website, but I wonder if both products are already quite into an advanced stage within their product life cycle in terms of updates. This would also make a good point for comparison since some of us decided to get a Helix product due to the community behind it and also the regular updates ( only compared to Fractal ).

@LeoGibsonGtr 4 месяца назад

Hi, thank you for your suggestion!

@scottbecker3485 4 месяца назад

Another stellar production by Leo! This is very telling. I watched as someone who shied away from buying the XL, and instead bought the Stage, preferring its screen, switch layout and dual inputs, among other things. One important point about the Stage was missed: The 2nd input of the Stage is not only XLR and for a mic, but actually a combo jack that can take a 2nd guitar (or other instrument) signal. And in the global settings (unfortunately NOT the patch/preset settings), one can - or rather should - choose for each individual input what it is, as in „electric guitar“ or „acoustic guitar“ (or mic). Listening back to back, there is a subtle difference in tone depending on which setting you choose. I wish Ampero would let us choose the type of input signal on a patch-by-patch basis, making it possible to route 2 different guitars (acoustic and electric) via a single input, using a simple AB/Y switch. That would free up the 2nd input for vocal use. Since that is not possible, I gave up my idea of using this for vocals, and instead use run my vocals through my Boss VE-500, with the added advantage of vocal harmonies (something missing in the Stage). I use input 1 on the Stage for acoustic and input 2 for electric guitar. This is fine, and I have created various presets for each instrument. I only wish the Stage had EQ blocks with 10 or more bands, which would be better for acoustic. Instead, I am using an MXR 10-band EQ ahead of the Stage (between guitar and input). Another thing to mention is the effect loop. I wish it had two, but the one loop is great for adding a Digitech The Drop pedal, for dropping my electric guitar down half a step or more, letting me cover a few songs that would otherwise be too high for my vocal range (without needing to change the signature riffs, e.g. in „More than a Feeling“ by Boston or „Superstition“ by Stevie Wonder). In the same external loop, I have also included a Dig Deep Mk 2 pedal to create a pseudo bass line on the lowest 3 strings (but not the higher ones). Using a split (Y) cable, the guitar‘s dry signal gets passed back into the Ampero, sometimes in dropped tuning, and the bass line gets fed to a 3rd channel on my Everse 8 speaker. Very important to have the effect loop! For the icing on the cake, I have mounted my Stage on a Harley Benton Spaceship 60XL pedalboard and grouped my other effects and switches around it, including a Cloudburst and a Golden Reverberator placed after the output Ampero II Stage. That gives me excellent string/reverb/ambient options that are not only better than those on the Stage, but also free up effect blocks that I might one day wish to use for a dual instrument/vocal chain (which is unfortunately limited to approx. 6 effect blocks each, for a total of 12 in the unit). I hope some of this will prove helpful to other users or potential buyers out there.

Are you able to run vocals through one XLR out and the guitar through the second XLR? Meaning you can change the level for each "path"? Thanks for the help!

@scottbecker3485 4 месяца назад

@@jeanandresmusic Yes, that seems to be possible based on the manual (I haven‘t yet tried to set it up that way, myself). Here is the passage I copied from the manual, and I hope it comes across clearly enough: „OUTPUT TO lets you decide where the output signal goes: • All Outputs: Sets the signal output to unit's all output jacks • Unbal.: Sets the signal output to unit's unbalanced output jacks • Bal. & Phones: Sets the signal output to unit's both XLR jacks and phones jack • FX SND: Sets the signal output to unit's FX loop send jack • Chain B: For chain A only, which lets you connect chain A and B in series (see Effects Chain Types section on page 34 for details) • None: For chain B only, in this case, chain B's output node won't work Special rules for chain B: • If you set output node A's OUTPUT TO setting to All Outputs, then available selections of output node B's OUTPUT TO setting will be All Outputs, FX SND and None • If you set output node A's OUTPUT TO setting to either Unbal. or Bal. & Phones, then available selections of output node B's OUTPUT TO setting will be Unbal., Bal & Phones, FX SND and None • If you set output node As OUTPUT TO setting to FX SND, then available selections of output node B's OUTPUT TO setting will be All Outputs, Unbal., Bal & Phones, FX SND and None OUT LEVEL lets you adjust output level from Mute~-60dB~+20dB. Default is set to OdB. PAN lets you adjust output signal stereo panning. The range is L50-Center-R50, default is set to Center.“ You can make these settings by clicking on the output node at the end of each given chain, and assign it accordingly.

Tiny thought when comparing the riffs though a real amp then modeller 1 then modeller 2. The real amp to modeller 2 comparison was separated in the modeller 1 demo. It would have been useful to hear the real amp repeated, amp + m1 + amp + m2 for example. Otherwise, thank you for setting such a high bar for the comparison of equipment, this is phenomenal work.

@senorchivo90 4 месяца назад

This! I've had the Ampero II Stomp from release week and recently got the HX Stomp XL because Line 6 kept putting out killer updates that meant I could retire more and more individual specialty pedals. In the time since release, the Ampero II Stomp has gotten 3 minor versions (1.1, 1.2, 1.3), with the most substantial one being the recent 1.3 update. In that same timeframe, Line 6 has released 4 minor versions (3.15, 3.50, 3.60, 3.70), with each one being as least as substantial as the Ampero 1.3 update, simply because Helix has a 6 year head start and bigger R&D department. Device manufacturers need to do more than keep pace with Line 6 (which Ampero hasn't), they need to catch up if they want to truly compete.

@danielhunt2510 3 месяца назад

Line 6 have been great in their software support but in 2024 it’s the hardware which is starting to show its age. The small screen, lack of wireless mobile editing, inability to stream music via Bluetooth. It’s probably a niche feature but the XLR input for vocal performance/recording is a great addition. Line6 can provide as many software updates as they want but right here, right now it’s the Ampero Stage I’d buy. Nevertheless if Line6 brought out a Helix with these features I’d snap it up with no hesitation.

I can compare to Pod Go, so tones will be similar to Stomp. Out of the box, Ampero sounds better, the built-in presets sound more natural to me. It's super easy to tune with the touchscreen. Just the dual inputs are worth a lot to me as I can run piezo and magnetic simultanously. The biggest disadvantage are pitch effects. Pod Go wasn't great but it sounded ten times better. Fortunately I have EHX Pitchfork so not a biggie to me. Overall I am super happy with it.

@10smdjbtk 4 месяца назад

As for the amp sound, clearly ampero is better. Like Leo said, only a few tweaks are needed. The HX can produce a good sound, but its basic sound is more in the midrange, so I don't think it's the right equipment for the purpose of bringing the amp closer to the real thing. Well, to sum up, even though we may not like the sound, considering that they are in a similar price range, I would pick up ampero without hesitation, as it is clearly superior in terms of visibility, ease of use, and the number of things it can do.

@0TheRain0 4 месяца назад

You forgot to talk about the capacitive buttons on the hx 😊. I'm biased because I've been an hx user for a couple of years now so it would really need to do something special to beat it for me. The smaller non touch screen strikes me as potentially being more reliable and road ready for instance, and just looking at them, the build of the hx seems more sturdy. If the ampero had gapless patch switching that would put it over the edge for me I think.

@0TheRain0 4 месяца назад

Helix also has pretty much the best polyphonic pitch shifting of any of the modellers. Even the fractal doesn't touch it. Only second to eventide I think.

Ciao Leo, io credo che c'è disparità tra 2 prodotti di cui uno recentissima (ampero) e l'altro un po' datato nonostante i continui aggiornamenti. Penso proprio che sia giunto il momento per line 6 di lanciare un device nuovo con le caratteristiche che si richiedono ora: grande display touch, almeno 12 blocchi e il Bluetooth per suonare con basi, se profila è ancora meglio ma si deve limitare sul costo e sulla grandezza. Così la penso io. Buon lavoro

While there is a lot to like about the Stage, the sheer fact that it can't control other devices via Midi was the deal-breaker. The Stomp XL can easily control the Tonex, my Meris LVX and Mercury X on patch change, on snapshot change and by assigning PC/CC commands to foot-switches - the Ampero can't do any of that and would require me to put a separate Midi-controller on the board, more than voiding any space and money savings.

Hi, thank you for sharing! This is an interesting point. May I ask you why with the Ampero you can not control external devices? Thank you!

@uwedasler425 Месяц назад

@@LeoGibsonGtr Well, the functionality does not exist in the software (yet?)... If you look in the manual or the software itself: there are no Midi commands under the Footswitch or Patch settings. As far as I could figure it out, the Midi Out port is really only sending Midi Clock and whatever is Midi Thru, the unit itself does not generate any PC/CC messages and there is no configuration for it (unless I am blind) 🙂

Does the Ampero have effects... Etc, for Bass guitar ? Can you load them if not ? I think the Helix does, right ?

Of course I click on this to hear you play, which was insanely awesome !!!!! I love anything you come up with, it's great !!! Thanks !!! But I was just looking into the Ampero and the studio one specifically because I play bass and sing in a touring band. Thanks again for the video, very helpful ! 👍😁👍

Thank you so much , I'm really happy that you appreciate the channel! Yes, I think that both the units can be used with a bass.

Your comparison videos are all excelelnt, and this is no exception. However, I think you missed a few key differences in the two units. I used to own the Ampero II Stomp, which is pretty simialr to the Stage. On the A2S, the pitch fx are mostly unusable. They exhibit terrible artifacts, track poorly, and have too much latency. Also, the MIDI implementation is very weak compared to the Line6 MIDI implementation. This means that parameter control is very limited at best, and this can be a big drawback for live use. This got a little better with the Stage since they've implemented scenes (not yet on the A2S), but it is still not as flexible as the full MIDI capabilities in the HX Stomp. And finally, and maybe most importantly, Hotone has a very bad track record when it comes to updates. They are VERY infrequent, and often insignificant. They promised 4 updates per year, but did not deliver last year. Some examples: the A2S still doesn't have scenes over a year after they were promised to be coming soon, the bug that causes the editor to go crazy if you turn a knob on the pedal still hasn't been addressed, nor has the gap when turning certain fx on/off within the same preset. Line6 support of the HX Stomp is miles ahead of Hotone. If these things don't matter to a particular buyer, then the Stage might be attractive, although, I think even then, it is overpriced. But frankly, after the experience I had with the A2S not being updated for long periods of time (not even for critical bug fixes), I would never spend this amount of money on a Hotone product again. I bought the A2S thinking that the 12 blocks would be helpful and I would relegate the HX Stomp to be my backup. But I couldn't do that largely because of the lack of live parameter control and such poor MIDI support, and in the end I sold it. I did buy an Ampero Mini and it is now my backup for thr HX Stomp. And at that price, if they never update the firmware (I do hope they will), I can live with it.

Hi, thank you for sharing your findings. One little note, with A2S I don't understand if you mean Ampero II Stage or Stomp. Thanks!

@@LeoGibsonGtr Sorry, I should have been more clear. Wherever I wrote A2S, I meant the Ampero II Stomp.

I would choose none of these units. I only record and I am waiting to the Boss IR-2, simple to use, good sound and good price. I'll put the effects in my computer, so I can tweak more precisely in the mix. Thank you for your tests

I can recommend Helix Native if you are recording. A Helix in VST format with no DSP limits, there is no competition to this in my opinion.

@SolairNova 4 месяца назад

@@bitdeviceThank you but I need sometime to keep some CPU with an external device. I can use 2 VST "inside" : S-Gear and Fuchs Overdrive Supreme 50 wich provide the kind of sounds I love. I quit Line6 for a long time, due to my pitiful experiences with their units. ;)

I own an HX Stomp XL...and an Opus. In between the two I have a Strymon V2 El Capistan. I like the sound a lot. I am doing only power tubes and cab sim on the OPus...and spring reverb and analog delay on the El Capistan. I figure this lightens the load on the HX Stomp and allows me to run only preamp sim on the HX. My question is..."Is this faster splitting it up like this or would it be faster to put all through the HX unit?"...."How much faster or slower?"

@LeoGibsonGtr 4 месяца назад

HI, thank you for sharing! I'm sorry but I didn't understand the question: could you please clarify what you mean with "splitting it up", or with "is it faster"?
