@@shredmaster1049 This is something you could do before that but now you can move the blocks on the touchscreen just dragging and dropping it. This is much more intuitive now. You used to have to press buttons.
You're welcome! I really think there is no competition at this price range. I got mine from Thomann for less than 180 EUR and I just tried a Fender Tonemaster Pro yesterday. I am actually quicker editing on the Ampero - the only thing that felt like an upgrade was the displays next to the switches. I couldn't get a nice 5150 sound out of it eventhough it's an officially licensed simulation by Fender. Stock IRs just don't sound great.
@@ayeapprove Same here. The silver edition for the Thomann 70 years was the real bargain. Nothing can touch it at this price point, still now. Recently compared the saturation from the ampero 5150 amp with my bugera 6260 in live condition, plugged in return loop, powering half stack on 4xG12T. Going back and forth ampero / Bugera, it's really close , eyes closed very hard to tell wich is wich. Still can't believe this unit is that good. I made a cover of a sworn ennemy song with it, ampero on left side, real Peaveys from the band on right, patch made in 15mn. Amazingly close, this has sold it for my bandmates. (except for my playing errors lol)
This is a great update for all the reasons you mentioned. However, there are still some bugs that need fixing. The "Wait" feature is very handy for not immediately changing patches when a new patch is selected. But I have found that when editing patches this feature freezes up, and stops working. You need to do a factory reset to get it back. I am sure a new firmware update will be out soon, as also the Editor software needs some upgrades to work properly with this last extensive firmware version.
Great review ! In term of latency and overall sound quality of the pitch shift, is it better than the 4.1 firmware ? still using my Analog TC for this because of poor quality of this effect on the ampero . I still think this is a killer product and really love mine tho. It's perfect on so many aspects, and they keep updating it ! Fantastic
I just tested this going 4 halfsteps up and down and I actually prefer it over my Digitech drop in terms of artefacts and the latency is compareable so not an issue for me!
@@ayeapprovethat's cool, it means I can remove my Drop from the pedalboard now. But I'll have to test it myself before I do that. The Drop is great for the ease of use, to be fair, you don't need to count the semitones (especially since I used a marker to write which tunings correspond to each led light)
Hotone has been top notch when it comes to updating their Ampero line. I still have my original MP100 and it has improved so much through the updates. It is now a very complete and high quality product. And I heard that they are developing a tone capture tech for the Ampero 2 line. I hope that we will be able to capture amps and pedals from PC software and then play them on the Ampero MP100. I will sell my ToneX directly... (ToneX sounds good but lacks a lot in user friendly interaction…)

And now we need next the capability to edit/import drums patterns, sync the start to the first strumming, and why not, save the loops, if not in the unit, in the computer.
Yesterday I tried to recreate your use of Classic PS with my Ampero One. I tried to lower the pitch of my guitar for 1 full tone, so I set range to -1 octave and position to 16. After that I found out that even just 2-notes powerchords are sounding out of tune. Wider chords are sounding even worse. I tried to understand why I have such a result and eventually I figured out that Ampero One manual says that Classic PS is monophonic effect, it's not intended to sound several notes semulteniously. So you can't really use it for pitch shifting whole guitar, just a single notes. This is true for Ampero One (MP-80), maybe the situation is different with higher models.
I tried pitch shift to get 6 fret higher pitch. Set min to 0, max to 12, and position to 6. It sounds horrible. I tried to sing i could not sing. something is wrong. How to shift the pitch by desired number of frets?
Nice! Ich hab das Pedal noch relativ unbenutzt zu Hause liegen und wollte mich jetzt wieder mal näher damit auseinandersetzen.

1.) Das sind hotone karat toppers 2.) mir fehlt ebenfalls die Übung mit Loopern, aber ich kann zumindest eine Akkordfolge einspielen und dann darüber improvisieren oder Harmonien suchen.

Btw it says you can adjust the module and allow it to be postioned anywhere or something like that, what does that mean

@@ayeapprove thanks for your fast answer ! It's now in the digitech drop territory ? quite an improvement, I can't wait to test it. Cheers lml
@seinthomas I would say so, give it a shot!

@Obssy yeah I liked the simplicity but I think the DSP in the ampero is even better at handling polyphonic pitch shifting

Tone Capture would be interesting, that's something I want to try next with a cheap MVave Black Box.
This new effect is called "Classic PS"
correct, as stated and showcased in 1:37
Does the Ampero stage have the classic PS ??
@marcgoodson2797 yes
@ how do u do the update to get it ?? I just mine a couple weeks ago

How do you set your input gain level in global settings?

Currently away but I will check my settings - I think I left them stock. Sounds good with EMG pickups.

Thanks for the update, it might be a dsp limitation of the ampero one.

Postion 50 should be exactly 6 frets up. But that high up it starts to sound wonky.

Is the classic ps in the Firmware update 4.2?
Because i think i have updated it and its not there. :/
Firmware 4.2 for the ampero (regardless of the edition). Which FX slot did you try?
@@ayeapprovei tried all of them and it's not there unfortunetly. I will check my Update again if it's 4.2.... ok, i just checked it and it really is 4.1. Maybe that's why it is not on there.

But updating to 4.2. should be no problem. 😊
Ps: now it works. ;) thanks for the Video again! 🎉🤘🏼

Same in the ampero St0mp?
No idea sorry

My TAP TEMP doesn't work anymore and I can't set it up. Anyone else?? pls help
Will try mine soon, did you check your CTRL settings if they maybe changed after the firmwareupdate?
@@ayeapprove Bro i dont have a controller. I just have a mp100. What you're saying is that I'll need to buy a controller to be able to use tap tempo?

how you get in that mode?
Which one?
