CDCM & F.I.R.E. Modeling

The Ampero Mini uses Hotone's CDCM and F.I.R.E. modeling system to deliver detailed amp, cabinet, pedal, microphone, and effects modeling with a dynamic playing response. The dual-core DSP platform provides the processing power required for multiple high-quality effects while maintaining the unit's compact size.

Extensive Effects Library

The MP-50MG provides 199 effects covering amp modeling, cabinet simulation, drive, dynamics, filters, modulation, delay, reverb, and other essential processing categories. More than 100 modeled amps, cabinets, and legendary pedals provide a wide range of tones for different playing styles and musical applications.

Flexible Effects Chain

Up to nine effect modules can operate simultaneously, while the editable effects chain allows players to arrange their signal processing according to their preferred setup. This makes it possible to create customized clean, crunch, high-gain, ambient, acoustic, and experimental tones.

Impulse Response Support

The built-in user IR loader supports third-party impulse responses, allowing players to expand their cabinet and speaker simulation options. The Ampero Mini supports 24-bit/44.1 kHz mono WAV impulse responses with up to 1024 points.

Touchscreen Interface

The 4-inch 800 × 480 color touchscreen provides intuitive control over presets, effects, parameters, and system functions. The touchscreen interface provides straightforward editing and navigation while preserving the compact footprint of the pedal.

Electric and Acoustic Instrument Support

The Ampero Mini features a specially designed instrument input for both electric and acoustic instruments. Its acoustic processing and Ampero-style acoustic patches provide additional tonal flexibility for performers who want to use one compact processor across different instruments.

Looper and Drum Machine

The built-in looper provides up to 100 seconds of mono recording time or 50 seconds in stereo mode. The integrated drum machine includes 100 rhythm patterns, making the Ampero Mini useful for practice, songwriting, improvisation, and developing musical ideas.

USB-C Audio Interface

The USB-C port supports USB Audio 2.0 and can be used as a USB audio interface for computer-based recording and music production. It also supports firmware updates and loading, editing, and management of compatible effects and impulse responses through supported Mac and PC software.

Compact Pedalboard Design

The Ampero Mini uses a lightweight aluminum chassis measuring 134 × 120 × 49 mm and weighing 529 g. Its compact footprint makes it an excellent choice for musicians who want extensive amp modeling and effects capabilities without taking up significant pedalboard space.
