HOTONE AMPERO MP-100 MODELLING MACHINE AND EFFECTS PROCESSOR

You’d think all of these options would demand a steep learning curve. Not so: the Ampero gives you an intuitive interface, with a prominent 4-inch touchscreen and three quick-access knobs for direct manipulation of effects. Four footswitches are close at hand (or rather, under the foot), as is an expression pedal for continuous effects like wah wahs and volume boosts.

In addition to these built-in effects, the Ampero offers 120 seconds of looping and an internal drum machine with 100 patterns. You can connect your Ampero to your computer as a USB interface and load tones from the Ampero software.
