CDCM & F.I.R.E. Modeling

The Ampero Mini uses Hotone's CDCM and F.I.R.E. modeling technologies to reproduce the tonal characteristics and dynamic response of modeled amplifiers, cabinets, pedals, microphones, and effects. Its dual-core DSP platform provides the processing power needed to run multiple effects while maintaining an exceptionally compact design.

Extensive Effects Library

The MP-50MC provides 199 effects covering amp modeling, cabinet simulation, distortion, dynamics, modulation, delay, reverb, filters, and other essential processing categories. More than 100 amp, cabinet, and legendary pedal models provide a wide range of sounds for different musical styles.

Flexible Effects Chain

Up to nine effect modules can operate simultaneously, while the editable effects chain allows players to organize their signal processing according to their preferred setup. This provides flexibility for 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 cabinet and speaker simulation options. Compatible 24-bit/44.1 kHz mono WAV impulse responses can be loaded for recording, direct performance, and full-range monitoring.

Touchscreen Interface

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

Electric and Acoustic Instrument Support

The Ampero Mini features a specially designed instrument input suitable for electric and acoustic instruments. Its acoustic simulation algorithms and dedicated acoustic patches provide additional tonal possibilities for performers who want one compact processor for multiple 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, improvisation, songwriting, and developing musical ideas.

USB-C Audio Interface

The USB-C connection supports USB Audio 2.0, allowing the Ampero Mini to function as a USB audio interface for computer-based recording and music production. The USB connection can also be used for firmware updates and compatible editing and management functions.

Compact Pedalboard Design

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