Hotone AMPERO MINI User Manual

Definitions
Module
Ampero Mini supports the simultaneous use of up to 9 effects. Each
is called an “effects module”, or simply “module”. There are several
effects available in each module.
Parameter
Variables that determine the application of an effect are called
“parameters”. If we imagine each module as a separate effect pedal,
then each parameter would be a knob on that pedal.
Panel
1. Display Screen: Displays Ampero Mini’s current status. Use the
touchscreen to select effects, edit patches, and make tone
adjustments.
2. Footswitch: Use to change patches, turn on/off effects, set tap
tempo, etc.
3. EXP/CTRL (FS 3/4): 1/4" TRS input, for connecting an external
expression pedal/footswitch controller.
Perfect for Hotone Ampero Press or Ampero Switch.
4. INPUT: 1/4" Mono input connection for both electric/acoustic
instruments.
5. OUTPUT: Unbalanced 1/4" TRS stereo output connection to
amplifiers or other equipment. For stereo connection, a Y cable is
needed to split L/R output channels (Tip=Left channel, Ring=Right
channel).
6. PHONES: 1/8" stereo output for connecting headphones.
7. AUX IN: 1/8" stereo input for connecting external devices
(phone, MP3 player) for practice and jamming.
8. Adjusts the overall volume of all output Volume Knob:
connections.
9. USB: USB 2.0 Type-C jack for connecting to your computer.
10. Power Supply Connection: Plug in the attached power supply
(9V DC center negative) to turn the unit on.
Patch
The ON/OFF status of each module and the parameter settings are
stored in units called “patches”. These are your “tones”. Use patches
to recall, edit, and save your favorite tones.
Bank
A set of 3 patches is called a “bank”. Ampero Mini has a total of 66
banks, including 33 editable player (user) banks and 33 factory banks
(F01-F33), which can be adjusted by not saved.
