This is the brand new Hotone Ampero Mini - The smallest product in the Hotone Ampero family. It's an amp modeller with a fantastic & easy to use touch screen display, An absolute giant library of amps/effects - with a built in drum machine/looper and tuner amongst many other amazing features.
Hotone reached out to me to check out the new Ampero Mini so this is my first reaction and thoughts. All guitar tones in this video were recorded using the Amero Mini.

Congratulations for the best Ampero Mini Review from all RU-vid!

@minkorrh 10 месяцев назад

I've put together a small little stereo practice rig in a 'carry box' with some powered monitors, and I was on the fence about which modeller to drive it with. At first I was wanting to keep it cheap and thought of the Mooer 150 or a Valeton offering, but this or the Ampero One seals the deal. Way better quality tones and amp sounds, a little more expensive but amazing quality and value for what you get.

@nokomisnichols 11 месяцев назад

great demo.

@lonelysorrowknight Год назад

I believe you can use the hotone foot-switch extension thingy to jump banks or even activate/deactivate certain pedals your loop. i believe it's written somewhere in the manual.

@gauravlama2079 Год назад

Nice video. Can you make a in depth video on this Ampero mini. Going through Amp cab effects Layouts etc etc....

@Gwyatt09 11 месяцев назад

Love the b-roll

@Zsolto66 8 месяцев назад

A very good review, thanks Rob. Maybe others have said it, but one way to "jump" from one effect to the other is by swiping on the screen, then you can scroll at a high speed. I guess there is another way, too, by assigning two patches to the two switches or even to connect an external double-switch pedal to this thing and assign those extra switches to two separate patches. Again, thanks for the review and keep it up. You have a new subscriber :) Zs

@im58woody Год назад

@RobGalley Год назад

Thanks so much!

@christopherwalker2097 8 месяцев назад

This is a good review. I noticed you are turning up the master for overall preset levels...is this like most modelers now,where it's literally turning the master and getting a power amp distortion..or does it have a level for each channel as well that doesn't change the power amp for more saturation? Also don't forget any hidden specials....like does it do two amps at once? Parallel routing? Effect order? Like a phaser before the amp or after etc... I think these are things that people really need to know now a days and really helps the buying thoughts. Thanks

@julianschulz5089 Год назад

Thank you for the great review. For the price, this pedal is fantastic with great tones and possibilities. The only thing I dislike are the Footswitches. The switches only react when I release the buttons with my foot. So for example, it is difficult to synchron loops in the looper modus. Sometimes I'm a little to late, sometimes a little to early. Does anyone here have the same problem? Or a good advice?

@zsoltigazs 3 месяца назад

A thing that might be useful for the cycling issue would be the control function of the buttons. If you hold down the left footswitch you can switch on and off effects that you can specify in the menu. With external footswitches you can even control more "scenes". Won't be able to switch amps, but if you have a versatile clean tone you can turn on and off distortion and other effects.

@Fnjercobeats2024 Год назад

Awesome abit of kit rob look forward to see it used in your lives 😅

@RobGalley Год назад

Yeah man I was going to do a Live stream demoing the pedal and maybe building a few patches! I think that would be a cool thing to do

@keithb5612 Год назад

Nice review. I don't have this unit yet. Thinking about the Spark GO too... How many user patch slots are there? Re, DSP.. Can you use x2 delays and x2 Reverbs in one user made patch? I think you can scroll through the presets very quickly on the touchscreen but not sure if you can jump to a specific preset or not. Cheers

@ultimatesteve 6 месяцев назад

this thing seems pretty sick. i was looking at the hotone pulze that just came out but i recently got powered monitors so this would make more sense.

@thedirtyboulevard1805 Год назад

Good review, thanks. From the manual - 99 presets and 99 user patches. So you can save duplicates of say, 3 particular preset patches you want in sequence in a user bank. Hey presto, just select that bank and stomp backwards and forwards through your song - just like the Zoom I’m currently using. Which leads to my question - when stomping through patches is there a significant lag?

@D-8-Tone2 11 месяцев назад

It is obviously for recording purposes, probably bigger brothers would work better for you

@alexkoumaditis5359 9 месяцев назад

Great video Rob! Is it true by pass the pedal?

@AndySimmonsOfficial Год назад

Thanks for the awesome video! 🤘🏼🔥 One of the best Demos on RU-vid! Quick question… does the Ampero Mini have “Scenes” or something like it? I just need the 3 basic sounds, CLEAN, RHYTHM and LEAD. But I don’t seem to find any information about this yet 🤔

@RobGalley Год назад

Good question, Still figuring it out I’ll be honest. The customisation is very easy though so it wouldn’t be difficult to set up those 3 types of sounds - which is pretty exactly the same as what I’d want!

@nanomiya790 Год назад

im planning on buying this cute pedal. but i have questions : 1. can i switch from 1 preset to another preset quickly or do i still need a foot switcher? 2. is there any Wah effect inside the presets? thanks

@AlienTheCatMusic Год назад

Great demo, I'm going to order one for sure. Question for the internet: has anybody tested the various colours? Which one sounds best? 😂

@siena9594 Год назад

Hi Rob, seriously considering one of these... did you try it with headphones by any chance, as for me it would make an ideal travel practice amp whilst working away. Great in depth video by the way! P.S I saw in the manual a screen grab of the desktop software and it seems there are 2 x banks factory patches and user patches, so I assume you can make set lists of your own patch sequences a bit like in a Helix or a Katana

@RobGalley Год назад

I didn't try it with headphones yet but it was direct into my computer so I'm confident the direct sound into headphones would be just as good. A great travel practice amp for sure. & Yeah there's so much to unpack with this, I didn't get to look at the desktop software yet! Possibly a future topic for another video. Thanks for watching!

@MattMontgomery Год назад

Does the octave (lower) effect track well enough to play a quick line with it? Just need decent tracking on single notes. Thanks for the review!

@alnn007 Год назад

First of all, great video you did with killer tones! So, about the cons you mentioned, there is a feature to turn on and off specific effects by holding the footswitche one or two. I just watched another video and I saw it. Besides, I think it can be controlled by midi via usb (just like the ampero mp 80).

@RobGalley Год назад

There’s so much to unpack with this & I’m admittedly very new to it so I don’t don’t doubt I’ll be figuring new things like this out for a while! 😂 thanks for watching 🤟

@paulpo999 Год назад

I like the Ampero 2 but it doesnt have a drum machine. I ordered the Ampero mini when i saw it included a drum machine, but now that i'm looking i don't see that the mini looper has an undo function. I need an undo function! Hotone - I need a multi FX unit with drum machine AND looper undo function!

@MOAB-UT Год назад

Looper is an after thought. Even the tone chances when you try to play over a loop e.g., lead on the Hotone II. Buy a FM3 or FM9 AND a Boss RC500 and you will be happy. That is what I did, FM9 Turbo. Tones and effects are WAY better as well...as in night and day better and more IO.

@These_go_to_eleven_1959 Год назад

This unit is $100 more than the Sonicake Matribox you also reviewed. Do you think this is $100 better? To be honest going by your demo of both i prefer the Sonicake? I only need a home practice unit with headphones.

@mr.d.572 9 месяцев назад

Great question. I have the Matribox and this sounds like it could be better but maybe not $100 better. I am pissed that they came out with the Matribox 2 only 4 months after the 1st one.

@JoeFic9997 8 месяцев назад

I demoed both and chose the Ampero mini for the smaller size. It also feels more rugged than the Matribox

@user-pb2zk3lz8g Год назад

@@RobGalley thanks;)

@JoeFic9997 8 месяцев назад

One limitation of this pedal is there’s only 3 fx allowed. Yes there’s a delay and a reverb but that’s that. If you wanted 2 tremolos and two flangers you can’t do that. At least I’ve not seen how to do that

@pacovl46 11 месяцев назад

Here’s the one million dollar question: is it possible to move patches around? I don’t want to have to stomp on it 50 times to get from my clean tone to my preferred overdriven sound.

@mr.d.572 9 месяцев назад

Great question. That would be a great feature on these modeling devices. I have a Sonicake Matribox and you can't move presets around. You would have to recreate the ones you like to be next to each other, which would be a real.pain.

@@RobGalley are you plugged in direct or plugged in an amp that's miked direct? I love the effects of this thing they are endless. Amps are endless in their sound and I wasn't even messing with the cab/mic feature yet. If HOTONE is listening I do wish they set up a way we could plug in each drum patches to make whole songs to play against.

@MOAB-UT Год назад

Meh- not really impressed. Returned mine. It was OK but the dirty tones were not so great. Looper can't overdub with a different tone without changing the 1st loop tone is a major fail. Great form factor, UI is very decent and nice touch screen. DSP is week. Effects were not impressive. If you can score one used for $200 maybe but still, I could get a MG-30 over this. Got mine for $200 and like it better. FM3 is much better than both.

@christopherwalker2097 8 месяцев назад

The FM3 is better....haha no duh. It's also 1200 bucks

@MOAB-UT 8 месяцев назад

@@christopherwalker2097 You tell me Chris if paying $700 to get tone, nearly identical to this is worth it? I say YES, all day, everyday. Mark is using an AxeFX in this vid. however this is a patch the FM3 can easily emulate. The models and most of the main effects will be near identical so the tone will be as well. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZROpXe6Poow.htmlsi=ELfK4JaUcgsVSSgW&t=3 I had the Ampero II (better one.)

This little device is designed for the untrained ear, who cannot tell the difference between Analog and Over processed Digital Audio. It will squash all you existing pedals on your board as well. It does not work well with ANY of my pedals.

@spawn302 3 месяца назад

Lol go ahead and spew your BS somewhere else are you leaving this on every ampero video? Lmao Yes because you have such a "trained" ear. Im sure you can "hear" the processing in the sounds your washing machine makes as it rumbles back and forth. How much the tone is affected by the hollow drywall and tile floor. If only you could maximize the tone and get a tube amp washer! Exactly three pairs of jeans in your washer and your tube amp washer will be the most organic, least processed sound ever. Of course, this could never be heard by the untrained ear.

@user-xj5dj5lp3y 4 месяца назад

The distortions sounds terrible.
