3 Definitions Module Ampero 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. Patch The ON/OFF status of each module and the parameter settings are stored in units called “patches”. These are your “tones”.

To turn the built in expression pedal on, press the pedal all the way forward so it clicks.
14 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.
15 Customizing Your Ampero 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.

Remember that all the control settings will change as you change patches. 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.
18 Customizing Your Ampero Current Settings Pressing Current Settings allows you to see the CTRL footswitch function for the current patch, the quick access knobs targets, and the expression pedal target. CTRL Settings Use the CTRL Settings menu to assign a function to CTRL footswitch or select which modules of the current patch will be controlled by the CTRL footswitch.
19 Customizing Your Ampero • Function Under the Function option you can assign a function to CTRL footswitch. There are three FUNCTION selections: Module/Tap: For controlling module on/off or tap tempo Tap Tempo: For tap tempo only EXP 1 On/Off: For switching built in expression pedal on/off or tap tempo When Module/Tap or EXP 1 On/Off is assigned to CTRL footswitch, you can use CTRL footswitch to switch module/built-in expression pedal on/off or tap tempo.
20 Customizing Your Ampero Tap Tempo and Tap Divide To use tap tempo function you can: (1) Hold the footswitch when Module/Tap or EXP 1 On/Off function is assigned to CTRL footswitch (2) Assign Tap Tempo function to CTRL footswitch When in Tap Tempo, the footswitch LED will turn blue and will flash with the tempo set. Set the tempo by repeatedly tapping the footswitch. This tempo will apply to the delay time and other effects with adjustable speed parameters.
21 Customizing Your Ampero You can also opt to use tap divide rather than time-based tempo. The default tap divide is set to quarter notes (1/4).
22 Customizing Your Ampero Quick Access Knobs This menu allows you to set the parameter targets for the three Quick Access Knobs under the current patch. The parameter targets can also be the effects parameters of the current effects module, patch volume and patch tempo. The effect the current module is using will show up in the center of the selection panel. If the current module is off, the effects name will be grayed out. Use quick access knob 3 to select the parameter you want to control.
23 Customizing Your Ampero EXP Settings From this menu, you can control the settings of or calibrate your built-in or external expression pedal. Here, EXP 1 refers to the built-in pedal, and EXP 2 refers to your external expression pedal. • EXP 1 Settings There are four options within this menu: Target, Expression Range, Volume Range, and Calibrate. - Target Under the Target option, you can set the pedal’s control target.
24 Customizing Your Ampero - Expression Range Under the Expression Range option, you can set the expression pedal expression range and sweep curve. There are four adjustable targets to change these settings. In the selection panel, MIN X (X standing for 1-4 controllable targets) represents the lowest range value. This is the value the pedal will have when pushed all the way up. MAX X represents the highest range value, when the pedal is pushed all the way down.
25 Customizing Your Ampero - Volume Range When the built in expression pedal is off, it continues to work as a volume pedal for Ampero. Under the Volume Range option, you can set the volume pedal range and sweep curve. Same as Expression Range section, MIN and MAX represent the lowest/highest volume range value. The MIN and MAX range is 0-100, and the MIN value can be greater than the MAX value. There are also three CURVE types like expression settings: Line, Exp and Log.
26 Customizing Your Ampero Then, strongly press the pedal toe down and press NEXT. Then press the pedal all the way down and press NEXT. The calibration will be set, and this message will appear: Press BACK to return to the previous menu. If the calibration fails, this message will appear. Press REPEAT to begin the calibration process again. Or press BACK to exit the calibration process and return to the previous menu.
27 Customizing Your Ampero SAVE In the SAVE menu, you can save the changes your made to your effects parameters, control information, and other editable targets. It is very important to save the changes you made to your tone and control settings! Cancel saving and exit Select a patch location to save Changes the cursor position Confirm saving Deletes unwanted characters Selects the character Changes the type of the character Quick access knob 1 changes the position of the cursor.
28 Customizing Your Ampero GLOBAL Use the GLOBAL menu to set Ampero’s global functions, including I/O and MIDI channel settings. You can also return to factory settings from this menu. Global settings will affect Ampero’s overall working status. These will override any other settings made to your patches. Any changes made in Global setting will be automatically saved and immediately operational. In the main menu, press GLOBAL to enter the global settings menu.
29 Customizing Your Ampero I/O Set the global input/output levels and modes in the I/O menu. Adjust the optimal Input Level according to the instrument or other input you’re using. Adjustable range is from -20dB to +6dB, default is set to 0dB. Out Mode lets you set up the unbalanced 1/4” out (UNBAL) and balanced 1/4” out (BAL) mode. The selections for these are the same: instrument output (Inst) and line output (Line). Use the instrument line out for connecting to amplifiers or other effects equipment.
30 Customizing Your Ampero Footswitch Use the footswitch menu to setup the way Ampero’s four footswitches work independently and together with each other. The menu includes FSX TAP and FSX HOLD (X from 1-4 refers to footswtiches 1, 2, 3, and CTRL).
31 Customizing Your Ampero MIDI Channel This menu allows you to set up Ampero’s MIDI channels, ranging from Omni (all channels) to Channels 1-16. Default is set to Omni. See page 80.
32 Customizing Your Ampero About About will show you information about Ampero’s firmware. Factory Reset Use this menu to perform a factory reset.

Press Factory Reset on the screen. This display will come up with a warning. Pressing YES will perform the factory reset.
33 Suggested Setups Here are some common setups to get the most out of Ampero. Using with your instrument and amp Plug your instrument into the Ampero instrument IN jack, and run a cable (or two) from the unbalanced OUT to your amplifier(s). If you have one amp, run the cable from the left output. For best results, turn off the AMP and CAB modules on Ampero.
34 Suggested Setups Connecting to your amp's RETURN or Power Amp (Loudster) INPUT Connect the unbalanced outputs to your amp’s FX Loop Return input or post amp input. If you have one amp, run the cable from the left output. For best results, turn off the CAB module on Ampero.
35 Suggested Setups DESIGN INSPIRATION
36 Suggested Setups Connecting your mixer, interface, headphones, and other equipment Connect Ampero’s balanced or unbalanced outputs to your mixer or audio interface’s corresponding inputs. Use the balanced outputs for optimal signal to noise ratio. If you want to send a mono signal out, use Ampero’s left output channel. To prevent damage to your equipment, make sure the mixer or interface channel’s volume is muted before making any connections.
37 Suggested Setups Connecting to your computer as an audio interface Connect a USB cable (not included) from Ampero to your computer. For PC systems before Windows 10, you’ll need to set up the driver. Ampero is plug and play for Windows 10 or later versions and macOS. Run line out cables to your monitors, or use headphones.
38 Suggested Setups Using the AUX IN line Connect a male-to-male 1/8” stereo cable from your audio source (phone or MP3 player) to Ampero’s AUX IN jack. This line will be unaffected by Ampero’s internal effects. Note: if you are running a mono line out, you will only hear a mono version of your AUX source.
39 Included Software Connect Ampero to your computer and access the free software to manage your Ampero device, adjust tonal settings, transfer files, update firmware, restore settings, and upload third party IR files. Ampero software is compatible with Windows and macOS platforms. Log on to www.hotoneaudio.com/support to download the free software.
