Building a professional guitar rig often means balancing amps, pedals and complex routing—unless everything is already in one place. The Hotone Ampero consolidates your entire signal chain into a single, performance-ready unit, combining high-definition amp modeling, cabinet simulation and effects processing while preserving the feel of an analog rig. Powered by Hotone’s CDCM HD and F.I.R.E. modeling platform, it recreates the behavior of real amp circuits with dynamic response and harmonic detail. With 64 amp models, 60 cabinets and over 240 effects, the Ampero offers the flexibility to build streamlined live rigs or layered studio tones. Lastly, the Ampero's 4" touchscreen, built-in expression pedal and pro-level connectivity—including USB audio and balanced XLR outputs—make it easy to move between stage, studio and home setups without rethinking your rig.
CDCM HD and F.I.R.E. Modeling for Realistic Amp Response and Feel
At the core of the Ampero is Hotone’s CDCM HD and F.I.R.E. modeling system, designed to go beyond traditional snapshot modeling by recreating the behavior of individual circuit components. This dynamic approach delivers improved touch sensitivity, harmonic detail and natural interaction between amp and cabinet simulations. Whether you're dialing in clean headroom or pushing into saturated gain, the Ampero responds naturally to your playing dynamics.
Extensive Amp, Cab and Effects Library for Complete Tone Building
The Ampero offers a comprehensive tone platform, including 64 amp models, 60 cabinet simulations and over 240 effects derived from Hotone’s XTOMP technology. Support for third-party impulse responses expands tonal flexibility, allowing you to tailor sounds for specific guitars, stages or recording environments. Up to nine effects modules can run simultaneously, making it easy to create detailed signal chains that range from subtle enhancement to fully layered tones.
Touchscreen Interface and Flexible Connectivity for Modern Workflow
A 4" color touchscreen and three quick-access control knobs make editing fast and intuitive, avoiding the complexity often associated with multi-effects units. USB connectivity supports firmware updates, preset management and use as a USB audio interface, while balanced XLR outputs, stereo line outputs and MIDI input allow seamless integration into live and studio setups. Designed for modern workflows, the Ampero transitions easily between stage, studio and home environments.
Looper, Drum Machine and Expression Control for Performance Flexibility
Beyond tone shaping, the Ampero includes performance tools that expand its usefulness onstage and in practice. A looper with up to 100 seconds of recording time and a drum machine with 100 rhythm patterns support songwriting and solo performance. Four assignable footswitches with LED indicators and an integrated expression pedal provide hands-on control, allowing real-time adjustments without interrupting your playing.
A Complete Rig Designed for Forward-Thinking Players
Compact, lightweight and fully self-contained, the Hotone Ampero combines amp modeling, effects, control and connectivity in a single unit built for real-world use. Whether you're performing live, recording or practicing at home, the Hotone Ampero delivers professional tone and streamlined workflow in one integrated system.
