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.
If you want a certain effect to be controlled by tap tempo, go into the
patch settings, select an effect, then select SYNC. When you do this,
the time will sync to the tap tempo value.
Customizing Your Ampero One
You can also opt to use tap divide rather than time-based tempo. The
default tap divide is set to quarter notes (1/4).
Tap divide values in relation to their musical beats are shown below:

• Module/Tap Target
Use the Module/Tap Target menu to select which modules of the
current patch will be controlled by the CTRL footswitch:
The 9 Ampero One effects modules are listed in the panel, with yes
and no below each module to show if the CTRL footswitch is
activated or not. In the example image above, FX1 and FX2 are
controlled by the CTRL footswitch, whereas the AMP module is not.
Slide (or use Main Knob) to change between yes/no, and press the
arrows on the right/left to scroll through the modules.
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. You
can set up a maximum of four effects parameters for the built-in
expression pedal to control.
In the selection panel, MODULE X (X standing for 1-4 controllable
targets) represents the effects module in play. EFFECT X displays the
actual effect name, and PARA X shows the effect’s controllable
parameter.
You can also turn the expression pedal off by turning selecting OFF in
the settings panel.
