    Been having my stage 2 for almost 2 months and it looks, feels, and SOUNDS awesome! You can pretty much do everything you will ever need with this little animal. Have a Headrush Mx5 and while that was my entry into this technology and i like it a lot and you get SO MUCH bang for your buck with it..... it was way easier to get the sounds i wanted with the ampero stage 2 out of the box. Great videos by the way!🤘

    At first, my thought was that number 2 sounded less correct, more "digital".
    That was interesting.
    I'm definitely saving for one of these.

    Well.. I guessed wrong on the first clip. Both sound great though! I agree that the connection is often lacking but boy it's close now.

    Great comparison. Nearly impossible to differentiate and impossible for me to tell which is which.
    I did also some AB comparison between my original Ampero and a few Synergy modules (SLO, Friedman and IIcp). It is also very close and sounds crazy good when running back to the fx return of tube amp and cab.

    Love your videos brother! Can you do a video of the Ampero 2 stage through a FRFR live run.. I may consider leaving Head Rush for this pedal..

    I could tell a difference but both sounded really good. If I had to pick one that I liked more, it would be the B track that sounded better.

    • @jeffallen3382
      @jeffallen3382 9 місяців тому +1

      Track 1& 3 B had a warmer feel to them. And I could tell it was the amp, but track 2 B I thought was going to be the same amp. Which goes to show just how similar they are.

      @@jeffallen3382I bet lowering the treble a bit on the ampero would make it sound very similar to the amp in track 1 and 3.

    Not much of guessing, I could clearly hear which one was the ampero, it sounds thin... Just got mine last week to downsize and replace my tonex pedal but cant get it to sound right, I will have to settle with my current rig.

    I was unsure on track 1, both sounded amazing, but track 2 had a nasty hiss on B and that gave it away.

    Is there any Global EQ that you have apply to get a better tone and avoid to sound digital?

    • @jayguitar

      Hey dude, I didn't apply any global EQ when I did this comparison. Hope that helps. Have an awesome day!

    Cabs are about 74% of the tone.
    I found my stomp is best with heavy amps. The clean fenders and the over drive pedals, some modulations let it down compared to my helix, especially the rotary sound which i use a lot in the helix.

    I was wrong all the time. Ampero sounds better than real amp. Amazing. Also, bad news for the amps. I am going to sell my ENGL for sure.

  • @Christopowaaa

    They are so close it's negligible, but if I had to bet, I'd say A is the amp.

    With a loadbox and an ir the comparison is pointless. At least when you want to replace an analog signal chain with a digital device.

  • @petersmith143
    @petersmith143 9 місяців тому

    So close it's hard to tell which Is which. That being the case the Ampero II Stage at $700 is a much, much, better choice compared to the $3000 of the Soldano. We're seeing the dawning of a new era for guitar players...

  • @oliveirapoli1
    @oliveirapoli1 9 місяців тому

    In a recording is very difficult to perceive the differences, because both signals become a digital signal before gettin back to sound. In a live situation the valve tubes shine much warmer and more intricate.
