Customizing Your Ampero
This section will show you how to customize your Ampero’s settings, edit patches, setup the expression pedal, and change other features to your
taste.
EDIT
Edit your patches to get the tone you want.
Remember that turning the modules on/off and adjusting parameters will change the current patch. If you switch patches or turn Ampero off before
saving your changes, the changes will be lost.
Make sure to press SAVE on the upper right of the display screen to save your settings.
Patch Edit Menu
Select a patch from the main menu by using the forward/backward arrows on the screen.
You can also select a stored patch by pressing any of the three numbered footswitches. Scroll back (press 1 and 2 together) or forward (press 2 and
3 together) through patches using the footswitches.
Next, select EDIT to enter the patch edit menu:
EXP Pedal
Some of Ampero’s preset patches have been set up to use the built in
expression pedal. These can be used without any further setup. For
more on expression pedal settings. See page 11.
To turn the built in expression pedal on, press the pedal all the way
forward so it clicks. When the built-in expression pedal is on, the LED
under the pedal will turn green, and this icon will show up on the
Main Display screen to indicate it is on:
You can either use the built in expression pedal (EXP 1) or connect
your own (EXP 2) to control various Ampero paramaters.
Reminder:
1. When the built in expression pedal is off, it continues to work as a
volume pedal for Ampero. For more on volume pedal settings, see
page 11.
2. You can use CTRL footswitch to switch built in expression pedal
on/off. See page 10.
3. If your external expression pedal has an off switch and is turned
off, it will not function.
4. If you use an external expression pedal, the display won’t show
any message when it is connected. As soon as you connect and turn
on an external expression pedal, it will function to control the effects
parameter determined by the current patch. If the current patch does
not have any effects controllable by expression pedal, the pedal will
not function. See page 13.
The menu is made of ten icon squares representing Ampero’s nine effects modules and a volume/tempo module.
The default signal chain is ordered like this:
FX1 (select one)-FX2 (select one)-AMP (amp simulator)-NR (noise reducer)-CAB (cabinet simulator)-EQ (equalization)-FX3 (select one)-DLY (delay)-
RVB (reverb)
FX1, FX2, and FX3 will hold effects of your choosing.
