A powerful amp modeler built for the stage.
When your entire performance depends on seamless transitions, instant control and consistent tone you can count on night after night, your rig has to do more than sound good—it has to keep up. The Hotone Ampero II Stage is designed as your all-in-one live command hub, combining advanced amp modeling, deep routing and real-time control into a single, stage-ready platform. A large 5” touchscreen, eight assignable footswitches and a scene-based workflow give you immediate access to your sound without breaking stride. Powered by a tri-core DSP platform with ESS Sabre AD/DA conversion, it delivers exceptional clarity and dynamic response, while an expansive library of over 460 effects, Celestion-powered IRs and Tone Catch technology provides the tonal depth to match. With integrated mic input, Bluetooth control and an 8-in/8-out USB interface, the Ampero II Stage bridges performance and production in a system designed to handle every part of your setup.
CDCM HD and F.I.R.E. Modeling with Tri-Core DSP for Real-Time Response
At the core of the Ampero II Stage is Hotone’s CDCM HD and F.I.R.E. modeling system, designed to recreate the behavior of real amp circuits at a component level. Combined with a tri-core DSP platform, it delivers the processing power needed to maintain clarity and responsiveness even in complex signal chains. This dynamic modeling approach tracks your playing in real time, preserving touch sensitivity, harmonic detail and the interaction between amp, cabinet and effects. Whether you’re dialing in clean tones or pushing into saturated gain, the response remains consistent and natural, making it reliable in high-pressure live situations.
460+ Effects, Celestion IRs and Tone Catch for Complete Tone Design
The Ampero II Stage offers a comprehensive tone ecosystem with over 460 effects, including 87 amp models, 68 cabinet simulations and a wide range of modulation, delay, reverb and dynamics processing. Built-in Celestion speaker IRs provide authentic cabinet tones, while support for third-party IRs with up to 2048-sample resolution allows for deeper customization. Tone Catch technology lets you capture and recreate the sound of your own amps and pedals, expanding your tonal palette beyond the onboard library. With up to 12 simultaneous effects modules and dual signal chains, you can build complex, performance-ready signal paths with precision.
Touchscreen Interface, Bluetooth Control and Pro-Level Connectivity for Seamless Integration
A large 5” touchscreen and updated user interface make navigation fast and intuitive, allowing you to adjust parameters and switch patches with minimal effort. Bluetooth connectivity enables wireless control and patch management from mobile devices, reducing the need for physical interaction during performance. Extensive I/O—including stereo inputs and outputs, a stereo FX loop, MIDI I/O and dual EXP/CTRL inputs—makes it easy to integrate external gear. The 8-in/8-out USB audio interface supports direct recording, reamping and flexible routing within a DAW, ensuring smooth transitions between live and studio workflows.
Scene Control, Footswitch Flexibility and Performance Tools for Live Use
Designed with live performance in mind, the Ampero II Stage features eight assignable footswitches with multicolor LEDs and a scene-based system that allows up to five variations within a single patch. This makes it easy to transition between song sections without changing presets. A built-in stereo looper with undo/redo, half-speed and reverse functions, along with a drum machine featuring 100 patterns, supports both practice and performance. With integrated mic input, phantom power and multiple input modes, it also accommodates vocal processing, making it a versatile solution for multi-instrumental setups.
A Performance-Driven Platform Built for the Stage
The Hotone Ampero II Stage is designed to keep your focus where it belongs—on the performance. By combining advanced modeling, flexible routing and real-time control in a single unit, it eliminates the need for complex, multi-device setups while maintaining the precision and reliability modern players expect. Whether you’re managing a full live rig, running direct or integrating vocals and instruments into a single system, the Ampero II Stage provides the control and consistency needed to perform with confidence.
