Hotone Ampero II Stage (MP-380)

[JCW308]

They also announced the matching white "PRESS" expression pedal. Not bad.

Man that would be super sweet if it was in black.

No. It's a floor unit with a screen and some more usual suspects.
Should be vastly easier to edit than the Stomp, BTW.

Not just yet.
But At least someone sees how useful separate power amp models are.

 

[GTR37]

Can't be serious.

Pretty serious yep,Obviously there is some sarcasm in there .
You do you ,but there is no way I personally have any interest on pressing combinations of buttons on a floor modeller at anytime
And tap/ hold sure but multiple button combos , that’s a dealbreaker for me personally

Because they likely have someone going into Helix idea scale I bet
What models are most requested ?
What features ?
I am pretty sure the next gen Asian boxes will start to add captures very soon , you will likely see some at Namm maybe with encoder footswitches as well

Mooer already has capturing covered - and it's not even all that bad.
And yes, all others will follow, very likely there's gonna be several devices loading the NAM format.
Does make a whole lot of sense for them, too. Apparently amp modeling is stil something not all companies can get right (the soundfiles for this very device here prove that IMVHO), so they could as well just concentrate on captures only and (unlike IKMM and ToneX) add some FX so you're ready to roll. Very low development costs (ok, loading NAM profiles at low latencies might cause quite some CPU hit, no idea...).

Meh so what. The Axe FX was the next level from the TC G-Force with nearly identical routing and screens. Nothing wrong with iteration of good ideas.

user documentation too, layout/format

I really wish fractal could have as much damping as this thing

Looks interesting. Width is 11.85” so knocking it down to 11” to compensate gives switch spacing of ~2.2” which is pretty tight but may work.

4 months to launch...

Interesting, that weird bar thing to the right is actually a digital VU meter.

Sounds really good, IMHO - like most Hotone products - but i haaaaate the late '90s, in-your-face, Wipeout-looking font used for the patch display.

 

[Alex Kenivel]

Didn't realize how tiny this thing was until the above video. Either that or this guy has huge hands.
