Definitions

Module

Ampero supports the simultaneous use of up to 9 effects. Each is called an "effects module", or simply "module". There are several effects available in each module.

Parameter

Variables that determine the application of an effect are called "parameters". If we imagine each module as a separate effect pedal, then each parameter would be a knob on that pedal.

Patch

The ON/OFF status of each module and the parameter settings are stored in units called "patches". These are your "tones". Use patches to recall, edit, and save your favorite tones.

Bank

A set of 3 patches is called a "bank". Ampero has a total of 66 banks, including 33 editable player (user) banks and 33 factory banks (F01-F33), which can be adjusted by not saved.

Ampero Tools

EXP Pedal

You can either use the built in expression pedal (EXP 1) or connect your own (EXP 2) to control various Ampero paramaters.

Some of Ampero's preset patches have been set up to use the built in expression pedal. These can be used without any further setup. For more on expression pedal settings. See page 12.

To turn the built-in expression pedal on, press the pedal all the way forward so it clicks. When the built-in expression pedal is on, the LED under the pedal will turn green, and this icon will show up on the Main Display screen to indicate it is on:

EXP 1 ON

Reminder:

  1. When the built in expression pedal is off, it continues to work as a volume pedal for Ampero. For more on volume pedal settings, see page 12.
  2. You can use CTRL footswitch to switch built in expression pedal on/off. See page 9.
  3. If your external expression pedal has an off switch and is turned off, it will not function.
  4. If you use an external expression pedal, the display won't show any message when it is connected. As soon as you connect and turn on an external expression pedal, it will function to control the effects parameter determined by the current patch. If the current patch does not have any effects controllable by expression pedal, the pedal will not function. See page 13.

Under the Function option you can assign a function to CTRL footswitch. There are three FUNCTION selections:

Hotone Ampero Pink Limited Edition - CTRL Settings - 2

Module/Tap: For controlling module on/off or tap tempo

Tap Tempo: For tap tempo only

EXP 1 On/Off: For switching built in expression pedal on/off or tap tempo

When Module/Tap or EXP 1 On/Off is assigned to CTRL footswitch, you can use CTRL footswitch to switch module/built-in expression pedal on/off or tap tempo. You can press and hold CTRL footswitch to switch between the two functions:

- Module on/off switch

Repeatedly pressing the CTRL footswitch will turn it on or off, with green and red LED lights to show the on/off status respectively. The modules it controls will be affected when switching CTRL switch on/off. The CTRL footswitch is set on (green) by default.

Under the Expression Range option, you can set the expression pedal expression range and sweep curve. There are four adjustable targets to change these settings.

Hotone Ampero Pink Limited Edition - EXP Settings - 3

In the selection panel, MIN X (X standing for 1-4 controllable targets) represents the lowest range value. This is the value the pedal will have when pushed all the wayup. MAX X represents the highest range value, when the pedal is pushed all the way down. CURVE X represents the curve line the pedal will follow when pushed from all the way up to all the way down.

The MIN and MAX range is 0-100, and the MIN value can be greater than the MAX value.

There are three CURVE types:

Line follows a straight line.

Exp follows an exponential line from slow to fast.

Log follows a logarithmic line that changes as the pedal moves.

Connecting your mixer, interface, headphones, and other equipment

Connect Ampero's balanced or unbalanced outputs to your mixer or audio interface's corresponding inputs. Use the balanced outputs for optimal signal to noise ratio. If you want to send a mono signal out, use Ampero's left output channel. To prevent damage to your equipment, make sure the mixer or interface channel's volume is muted before making any connections.

If you experience unwanted noise when using the balanced outputs, it is likely produced by the ground loop. In this case, turn on Ampero's GND LIFT switch.

Turn the Ampero output volume all the way down before connecting headphones to prevent harm to your ears. Ampero's headphones out comes with hi-fi stereo sound.

For best results with headphones, turn on Ampero's AMP and CAB modules.
