HoTone Ampero Stomp Problems - Are they Solved with this Crucial Firmware Update? 

Thanks for this. I’m so glad I bought it, I don’t gig much and dig how small and inexpensive it is. I want the most simple rig possible and this update solved the little glitches and problems I had with it. It feels peerless for the price.

Bro, I think you are one of the best guitarist that I have discovered. Your style and grace are captivating to listen too. Just fantastic playing. I could listen to you for hours just noodle around :). Keep it up and look forward to more to come.

I'm glad Hotone has made good on what they've talked about in the past. It took a while but I think the unit is now in a good place to compete with its peers. Look forward to updating my unit and getting a smooth workflow out of it. As always John, thanks for the update video 🤝

Hi.You have a very cool sound and sense of melody. I wish you good luck in your creativity. Your videos about Hotone ampero stomp helped me a lot. Thank you.

The “hickup” problem while switching preset also fixed…nice update hotonee🎉

I bought a Ampero Stomp last Black Friday for 300 euros, and now I have this update for free... The Hotone Ampero Stomp has become the best moddeler for he price.

My Stomp is being delivered today, but I purchased already the preset pack because I know it’s going to sound killer! Thank you 🙏🏻

Beautiful playing, well done brother ✨🌟🙏🏼

i use mine every day, glad they fixed the issues

Yes, I believe they did. I really think they have upped their game in the last few months and I'm starting to invest more and more time into Ampero stuff. I've had it sitting in a box for a very long time, but finally pulled it out.. and actually plugged it in! Instead of watching other people use it. There are many things they could improve in the future, but I'm really starting to take them seriously now.. I've already created a full screen mode for the editor (a custom script within Windows) so that I can toggle in and out of full screen when doing software tweaking. I'm not a big fan of the touch screen, I think it's too small (you mentioned that). However.. it can be good for minor tweaks or on the go adjustments. The code for the new editor was completely rewritten for the Stage, and the presets are cross compatible between Stage/Stomp. Metronome, Drum Machine.. lots of positives. The UI side of things is much improved and you can turn the knobs on the pedal and the software doesn't have that awful bug where it pauses and refreshes. Maybe they fixed it earlier, I'm not sure.. but I was surprised how responsive it is now. Apparently a lot of the other older bugs are gone as well, going into the tuner or looper or whatever it was but you went into depth on that very well in this video. A lot of the "deal breakers" are gone. I agree the Stage form factor is superior, but I think they are both good in different ways. This might pair better on a pedal board, with a tube amp for effects only.. etc. Or for something small to take with you over a friends house in a backpack for practicing late at night. Stage is a great all in one solution for proper set lists. The UI is definately designed (and looks better) on the Stage. But the basic intuitive UI is good on both. I like Ampero's way of dialing the tones in, it's pretty simple and easy to use. By the way, the company's name is "Hot Tone" not "Promiscuous Tone". But both are equally as corny..

Man, they really did a great job on that didnt they! Thanks John!

Fixed and great!

The two things I want the most now is a vst plugin of the editor (with audio outs) to use within a DAW and better pitch/octave/harmony effects I'm pretty happy with it overall tho edit: a drum sequencer with a sampler, plus the Stage's vocal effects, would be pretty nice too

What kind of speaker or amp/cab is he using? sound so good, i did the same preset on the dumble od video but my sounds sucks with a presonus 3.5. TIA.

This compared to the Line 6 stomp, which would you suggest for someone who will combine this with the Tonex for a small board?

How do you think the effects hold up? I was thinking about buying a Fractal FM3 as an all purpose modeler and multi effects unit, I would love to get the Ampero but I’ve heard mixed reviews of the effects processing

Hi doest anybody know If they have already fixed or improved the pitch shifter?

El nuevo firmware es un avance realmente grande, para mí lo único q pueden mejorar es el octavador y que agreguen un buen fuzz

Finally 🎉🎉🎉 Excelent 🎉🎉

Ampero II Stomp eats HX Stomp. Especially since the Ampero II Stomp has better dynamic range.

Really tempted to grab one of these and a tonex one to cut my pedalboard footprint in half

And here Hotone users were losing hope in the forums because of the Stage release. Hotone made good on what people asked for. Now they need to the firmware update on the Mini.

Yeah I get why you would get the stage now given the option. But I've had the stomp 2 for a few years, and can't justify the stage, now that the stomp is more or less the same minus a couple hardware buttons and larger screen.

This is by far better than an HX Stomp

i cant seem to get any sound out of it at all :D it shows signal coming in , but cant get any out , not by USB not by cable

It is not restricted to 44.1KHz but can select anything up to 192KHz!

I just would like the name of the preset appears as big as the number of the preset. I can't remember numbers!

How is the DSP in comparison to HX stomp in 2024?

Those plastic covers actually only make it more possible to hit the other switch.

Will Fractal and neural launch their own compact devices? Personaly I doubt it, because fractal is better than that, and neural is busy with plugin compatability. What do you guys think?

SETTINGS>DISPLAY shows 2 Modes for PATCH and STOMP to either show a Name/Number and between Pedals/Scene Number. OK!

Would be nice if you could name the scenes..

This model has a drum machine?

seems like the issues are - no tone shring networik and iffy updates/support

BTW "P" is not a PRESET MODE it is a PATCH MODE. Else you assume you can not write over any existing Presets ha!

this thing just rapes hx stomp , great work Hotone

Bass amps are still very bad compared to headrush or line6.

Sounds like all the other modelers….tinny and fake. I’ve owned them all….worst by far for negative coloring of tone is the QC.

you dont release a product until it works, plain and simple.

I updated it and now it's stuck in the boot up screen.
