Hotone MP-380 Ampero II Stage Amp Modeller & Multi-Effect Processor

Excellent unit, small and sounds great. Touchscreen is a big bonus.

Hotone MP-380 Ampero II Stage Amp Modeller & Multi-Effect Processor

Excellent effects unit, the quality of the included FX is very very good indeed. Fantastic variety of amps and cabs, seems to handle everything you can throw at it and I have yet to run out of CPU power despite some complex FX chains. Great connectivity with all the ins and outs you are likely to need, lots of footswitches is a welcome bonus, pairs perfectly with the Hotone Ampero expression pedal for a complete set up.
I chose this unit because of the ability to run a guitar and mic in parallel with different FX chains for each, together with the Bluetooth connectivity which makes editing patches via the Ampero app on my tablet an absolute breeze. In fact the app itself was another reason I chose Hotone as it really is very clear and well laid out, editing on the Ampero touchscreen is good enough but once you have experienced the independence of controlling the unit via smartphone or tablet it really is the way to go.
Overall very pleased with my purchase, would recommend unreservedly

Hotone MP-380 Ampero II Stage Amp Modeller & Multi-Effect Processor

Prachtige sounds, prettig werkend touch screen.
Waar ik echter tegenaan loop zijn de volgende punten:

1. De Scenes / Snapshots kunnen niet worden hernoemd.
Je kunt daar dus geen 'Intro' of 'Refrein' intypen - ze heten gewoon 'Scene 1', 'Scene 2', etc.

2. MIDI Out werkt (nog) niet. Ik heb contact gehad met Hotone maar ze kunnen me niet vertellen of ze dat dit jaar (2024) kunnen oplossen. MIDI Clock Out werkt overigens wel, maar je kunt dus geen MIDI signalen verzenden vanaf je Stage.

Als bovenstaande punten je niet storen heb je een top-pedaal in handen!
