I put together a preset on the Ampero II Stomp modeled after my Quad Cortex Steve Vai preset. Enjoy. You can find the patches here: www.dropbox.com/sh/cf523g1d6s... #hotoneampero #ampero #stevevai
I tried out the ampero stomp recently to see if it would be a good replacement for the hx stomp. Honestly, I thought it sounded better than the hx stomp. But it is lacking in some areas, so I’m sending it back.
I think that edge of breakup tone is his drive tone with the guitar volume way down. When I watch the live performance it looks like he has the guitar volume at 3 or 4. I think that's how he's achieving that tone. Unfortunately, most modelers don't do that roll the volume back to clean up the tone very well. I'd look to add the Blues Driver in front of the clean tone perhaps.
