Tiny, durable, quality multi-fx
Maddie D 22.08.2023
A brilliant multi-FX which I've been using on it's own, however I'm sure it would also fit very well into an established pedalboard.

The case is made of solid metal and the footswitches feel high-quality. It's touchscreen menus can be a little finicky to use at times but get the job done, especially when used with the desktop app on a connected PC. The main drawback would be the lack of XLR and lack of a power switch, meaning the unit must be unplugged to turn it off, but this is a minor inconvenience more than anything.

Overall I am very pleased with this FX unit and would recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable, small, quality box.

Great value-cost
AlexTheKing 07.12.2023
Very powerful device. Quite a lot of amps/effects + impulse response support. With this thing you can come up with pretty much any sound for any genre of music.
Highly recommended.

Great unit paired with Ampero switch
Colm4 31.05.2024
I wanted something compact to play with a band after a long hiatus from playing the electric guitar. I've had a quite a few multi effects in the past e.g. Pod XT live and Boss GT6.
The Ampero switch combined with this means I can record a loop, change presents and play the loop. This isn't possible on many lower end, smaller units.
Using amp sims, overdrive and other effects, the unit sounds good going into the power amp of a Boss Katana.
Quality is solid. My only gripe is when switching between certain presets there's a lag.

Hotone Ampero Mini
Davagixxer 22.01.2025
Was expecting a lot more from this than it provided. Have had a history of Multi effects going back over a decade - Digitech GNX3000, Boss GT3, GT10, Various Zoom pedals, Boss ME25 (very underrated!) and others. This was underwhelming. The sounds were very similar and tweaking didn't seem to change all that much, was outputting to the power stage of my ancient Valvestate 8040 as well as direct into the pre with all knobs at 12 o'clock, also used it with a Y splitter into my Focusrite 2i4 set at Line, didn't find the touch screen as responsive as YouTube would have you believe - and I haven't got fat fingers. Once I get refunded I will try the HB DNA GiT Advanced and see how that goes. I can't justify the cost of Kempers, Neural Cortexes or Helixes so budget it where I stay!

Proceed with caution
The_Piet_Pattern 11.01.2025
So I bought the ampero mini a while back. At first I was having all kinds of fun with this unit, but the volume switch do not work, as in no matter how I turn it the output signal always seem to be at max.
Apart from this the firmware updates cannot be extraced on my MAC system, I tried it with the Unarchiver, now I cannot use the desktop editor, which is a pity because that is very intuitive and user friendly.
The touch screen seems to be covered with a thin layer of plastic and upon applying light pressure to it is a bit unstable.
All in all the ampero mini is fun piece of gear to try out various sounds in your basic home studio set up but there are some major drawbacks as well. I sadly cannot recommend it for the price.
