Previously, digital multi-effects were generally considered to sound "dull", "lifeless", and "digital". Hotone's aspiration was to do away with this stereotype, and devote their expertise to make the Ampero Mini to sound and feel genuine, as if you were performing in front of a real amplifier. Based on decades of research and meticulous trial-and-error in the field of digital modelling, Hotone were able to unveil their ultimate weapon: the CDCM HD + F.I.R.E modelling technology - a refined combination of the standard white box and black box modelling technologies.

This technology models every aspect of the original device, down to component level, creating a model that faithfully tracks the variations in dynamics of the instrument's input signal, maximizing the ability for reproducing the precise character of the modelled device - resulting in a deep, immersive, and more dynamic playing feel.

The Ampero Mini is equipped with the dual-core digital signal processing platform, which has performance on par with the regular Ampero version, aiming to ensure the authentic Ampero signature sound.

No need to carry an extra acoustic anymore! Ampero Mini comes with advanced acoustic simulation algorithms. Used along with built-in acoustic simulation presets, you can easily transform your electric instruments into miked up acoustic masterpieces: steel string, nylon string and more.

Equipped with a dual-core processing platform, the Hotone Ampero Mini boasts performance on par with the standard Ampero version, ensuring authentic Ampero-quality sound.

The Ampero Mini also features sophisticated acoustic simulation algorithms, so there's no longer any need to carry an extra acoustic guitar to your gigs! Transform your electric instruments into beautifully engineered acoustic masterpieces with ease: Steel String, Nylon String, and more.
