Description

Modern rigs demand more than great tone capability—they demand control, flexibility and seamless integration across stage and studio. The Hotone Ampero II Stomp is built to meet that challenge, combining advanced amp modeling, a massive effects library and studio-grade routing in a compact, pedalboard-ready format. Powered by a tri-core DSP platform with ESS Sabre AD/DA conversion, it delivers exceptional clarity, dynamic range and responsiveness. With over 400 effects, 87 amp models and 68 cabinet simulations—including Celestion-powered IRs—alongside support for high-resolution third-party impulse responses, it offers a deeply customizable tonal environment. Dual effects chains with parallel routing, a full stereo FX loop and an 8-in/8-out USB audio interface position the Ampero II Stomp as more than a modeler—it’s a complete signal management system designed for players who need precision, power and total control.

CDCM HD and F.I.R.E. Modeling With Tri-Core DSP for Realistic Response

The Ampero II Stomp is built on Hotone’s CDCM HD and F.I.R.E. modeling system, designed to recreate the behavior of real amp circuits with precision and depth. Unlike static modeling approaches, it dynamically responds to your playing, capturing the interaction between input signal, gain structure and speaker response. The tri-core DSP platform ensures this detail is preserved even in complex signal chains, maintaining clarity, harmonic richness and touch sensitivity across clean, driven and high-gain tones. The result is a playing experience that feels immediate and natural, whether you’re dialing in subtle dynamics or pushing the amp models to their limits.

400+ Effects, Advanced IR Processing and Celestion Integration for Complete Tone Design

Built with versatile modern players in mind, the Ampero II Stomp delivers a comprehensive tone ecosystem with over 400 effects, including 87 amp models, 68 cabinet simulations and a wide range of modulation, delay, reverb and dynamics processing. Onboard Celestion speaker IRs provide authentic cabinet tones out of the box, while support for third-party IRs with up to 2048-point resolution allows for deeper customization. Up to 12 simultaneous effect modules can be used at once, enabling detailed, studio-quality signal chains. With independent power amp simulation and advanced mic modeling, you can shape your tone with a level of control typically reserved for full studio setups.

Touchscreen Interface, Dual Signal Chains and 8x8 USB for Advanced Workflow

A 4” touchscreen with an updated user interface makes editing fast and intuitive, while dual effects chains support both serial and parallel routing for advanced signal design. A full stereo FX loop expands integration with external gear, and extensive I/O—including stereo inputs and outputs, MIDI and expression control—makes the unit adaptable to virtually any rig. The 8-in/8-out USB audio interface supports direct recording, reamping and flexible signal routing within a DAW, allowing you to capture and refine tones without additional hardware. Designed for modern workflows, the Ampero II Stomp keeps complex setups manageable and efficient.

Looper, Drum Machine and Flexible Control for Performance Use

The Ampero II Stomp includes built-in performance tools that extend its capabilities beyond tone shaping. A stereo looper with up to 60 seconds of recording time supports undo/redo, half-speed and reverse functions, while a drum machine with 100 rhythm patterns provides a solid foundation for practice or solo performance. Three assignable footswitches with halo LEDs offer clear visual feedback and flexible control over presets and effects, and additional external control options allow for expanded functionality. These features make it easy to build ideas, perform dynamically and manage complex patches in real time.

An All-In-One Command Center for Demanding Modern Players

The Hotone Ampero II Stomp is designed for players who need more than a collection of sounds—they need a system that can adapt to complex, real-world demands. By combining advanced modeling, deep routing options and studio-grade connectivity in a compact format, it functions as the complete control center of a modern guitar rig. Whether you’re performing live, recording direct or integrating multiple pieces of gear, the Ampero II Stomp delivers the flexibility and precision required to keep everything connected, consistent and under control.
