The Ampero II is the latest addition to the extraordinary Ampero series, a second-generation multi-effects processor that brilliantly combines the iconic stage control of the original Ampero with the power of a new triple-core digital audio processing platform. Experience a whole new level of professional performance, with Ampero II maintaining its compact and lightweight design while offering all the connectivity and controls you need for live shows. It’s the ultimate fusion of classic and cutting-edge innovation, packed with powerful features, premium tones, and a seamless user interface—making it an indispensable companion for every musician and creator. Hotone has officially launched Sound Clone, a powerful new black-box modeling technology that brings a major upgrade to the entire Ampero II Series. As the evolution of Tone Catch, Sound Clone enables users to accurately capture the sound characteristics of real amplifiers and pedals using just a computer and a basic audio interface. It also now supports importing NAM (Neural Amp Modeler) files, providing greater tone flexibility and compatibility across platforms. With this update, the Ampero II series (Ampero II Stomp, Ampero II Stage, Ampero II) will be the first to support Sound Clone. Sound Clone Highlights: - NAM File Support: Sound Clone can now convert NAM files into Hotone’s proprietary .clo format for seamless integration into Hotone devices. - Expanded Storage Capacity: The optimized data structure now allows users to store up to 30 cloned tones on their Ampero II device. - Complete Tone Cloning Workflow: Simply play an impulse file through your gear, record the response using your audio interface, and let Sound Clone analyze and generate a .clo tone file that can be directly imported into your device. - High-Fidelity Tone Replication: Leveraging Hotone’s CDCM HD + F.I.R.E. modeling technologies, Sound Clone faithfully captures complex tonal nuances, delivering an authentic sound experience close to the original equipment. - Backward Compatibility: Ampero II Series devices support both .tone and .clo formats. Existing .tone files remain usable, and newly imported .tone files will automatically convert to .clo.

Lightweight & Powerful

Continuing the Signature Ampero Design, like the original Ampero, the Ampero II comes with an onboard expression pedal and weighs just 1.7kg! This compact powerhouse can easily fit into your guitar gig bag, pedalboard case, backpack, or even your drawer - ready for music-making wherever you go.

Maximized Screen-to-Body Ratio

Ampero II features a sleek 5-inch dynamic color touchscreen, offering an even more intuitive and intelligent interface. The multi-language touchscreen control ensures an ultra-smooth user experience.

Two Modes, Flexible Control at Your Fingertips

With both PATCH (preset) and STOMP modes, along with four footswitches equipped with full-color LED rings, Ampero II lets you customize the layout to fit your preferences. Choose from multiple display options in each mode to suit your workflow perfectly.

Triple-Core Platform for Next-Level Signal Processing

Ampero II is powered by a unique triple-core platform and ESS® Sabre® series AD/DA converters, delivering 24-bit processing and a dynamic range of up to 127dB.

Seamless Tone Switching with Four Scene Options

Experience smooth, zero-latency tone switching with Ampero II’s exclusive scene function! Each preset can have up to four different scenes, allowing you to seamlessly switch between multiple effects and parameters during complex performances.

Authentic IR Performance with Celestion-Authorized IRs

Ampero II supports IRs up to 2048 sample points, doubling the resolution of the original Ampero. With 20 Celestion®-licensed speaker cabinet IRs and 50 user IR slots, it brings out the best in your tone.

Dual Signal Chain, Total Creative Freedom

With Ampero II’s dual signal chain design, you can create complex tone paths using both serial and parallel effects. Up to 12 different effects modules can be used simultaneously, giving you maximum flexibility.

Stage-Ready Connectivity

Ampero II’s extensive I/O options are designed for the stage. The stereo balanced and unbalanced outputs offer independent signal processing with separate volume control, perfect for routing one signal to the PA system and another to your amp. It also includes an expression pedal with volume/expression switching, plus an external EXP/CTRL input for even more control options.

Microphone Input for Vocal Performances

Ampero II’s stereo input includes a right-channel combo input for microphones, with 48V phantom power and up to 52dB of gain. Whether you’re playing guitar, bass, synth, or using a dynamic/condenser mic, Ampero II has got you covered—with onboard vocal effects for a pro-level singing experience.

Enhanced Practice Experience

To perform at your best, you need to practice consistently, and Ampero II is the perfect practice partner: - Built-in stereo looper with 60-second stereo recording - Undo/Redo, Half-Speed, and Reverse features - Built-in drum machine with 100 rhythm styles and metronome function, ideal for honing your skills in any genre

Professional-Grade Desktop Audio Interface

Ampero II functions as a professional 8-in/8-out USB audio interface with variable sampling rates from 44.1 to 192kHz. Whether you’re recording dry/wet tracks or using reamping, it’s easy to achieve the sound you need.
