Hotone Ampero One

Ampero One represents the uncompromised, widely praised Ampero sound in a smaller case. Powered by the new-gen CDCM HD (Comprehensive Dynamic Circuit Modeling High Definition) and F.I.R.E. (Field Impulse Response Enhancement) system, Ampero One offers you all the real sounds of rock past and present. The 4-inch hi-def color touch screen and optimized UI provide you with a smoother, smarter experience.

Advanced CDCM HD and F.I.R.E. Modeling System
Driving Ampero is Hotone’s innovative CDCM HD (Comprehensive Dynamic Circuit Modeling High Definition) and F.I.R.E. (Field Impulse Response Enhancement) system. Built on Hotone’s powerful XTOMP platform, acclaimed Binary series, and breakthrough VStomp Amp virtual plugin, the new-gen CDCM HD & F.I.R.E. system showcases Hotone’s new high-shelf circuit modeling methods.

Mainstream modeling methods are generally based on static state circuitry modeling or “black box” theory, which just “come close” to the modeled sound. CDCM HD & F.I.R.E. employs a complex system based on dynamic feature modeling. In this matrix, the technology “rebuilds” the entire circuitry using modeled electronic components, resulting in a tone that is vivid, accurate and expressive. More than that, the new system enhances the relationship between amps and PA systems, delivering a realistic feel and response you’ve never before experienced on digital gear.

Core*-Dual-DSP Platform
Ampero One is powered by the same dual-DSP platform with uncompromised high performance, running Hotone’s proprietary CDCM HD & F.I.R.E. modeling system.

Main Processor - Analog Devices® SHARC®* series
A powerful Analog Devices® 4th gen SHARC®* series DSP is dedicated to the audio engine. Compared to XTOMP, this processor features increased performance and hardware-based audio processing accelerator modules, which makes it easy to handle multiple XTOMP-grade high quality effect algorithms.  

Co-processor - NXP® RT series
The NXP® RT series crossover co-processor runs on the ARM® Cortex®-M7 core. The co-processor not only helps processing audio streams, but also powers the touch screen display, USB I/O, and other functions.

Armory
Ampero One can handle up to 9 effect modules simultaneously with its flexible FX1, FX2, FX3 effect modules and editable effect chain for the best effect combination possibilities. Ampero One shares the same effects library with authentic stereo signal processing:

• 242 effects

• CDCM HD & F.I.R.E. modeling effects including:64 amp models/60 cab models/100+ legendary pedal models/Next-gen mic position and microphone type simulations

• User custom IR loader with 3rd party IR support

• 50+ Hotone original effects (incl. high quality drive/dynamic/filter/mod/delay/reverb models and more)

Authentic Acoustic Sound
No need to carry an extra acoustic anymore! Ampero One comes with advanced acoustic simulation algorithms. Used along with built-in acoustic IRs and acoustic simulation presets, you can easily transform your electric instruments into miked up acoustic masterpieces: steel string, nylon string, even double basses!

Touch Screen Interface
Ampero One employs the same straight-forward user interface with one more step forward. Featuring a 4-inch 800 x 480 touch screen with dynamic color display and optimized UI activity, Ampero One is incredibly easy to set up and program within a few tapping and sliding.
