Massive tone, minimal footprint.
Compact, powerful and built for modern musician workflows, the Hotone Ampero Mini delivers professional amp modeling and effects in a streamlined format designed to go anywhere. Powered by Hotone’s CDCM HD and F.I.R.E. modeling platform with a dual-core DSP system, it provides dynamic amp response, cabinet simulation and a full effects library in a lightweight unit that runs on standard 9V power. Third-party IR support expands tonal flexibility, while the pedalboard-friendly footprint makes it easy to integrate into live rigs or portable recording setups. Whether you're building a minimalist travel board or adding flexible modeling to an existing setup, the Ampero Mini keeps your tone options wide without adding bulk.
CDCM HD and F.I.R.E. Modeling for Responsive Amp Tone
At the heart of the Ampero Mini is Hotone’s CDCM HD and F.I.R.E. modeling platform, designed to recreate the behavior of real amp circuits rather than simply approximating their sound. This approach delivers improved touch sensitivity, harmonic detail and dynamic interaction between amp and cabinet simulations. The result is a responsive playing experience that feels natural under the fingers, even in a compact processor designed for portability.
Comprehensive Effects and IR Support for Flexible Tone Shaping
The Ampero Mini includes nearly 200 effects covering amp models, cabinet simulations, modulation, delay, reverb and dynamics processing. Support for third-party impulse responses allows you to tailor tones for specific guitars, stages or recording environments. Up to nine effects modules can run simultaneously, giving you the flexibility to build detailed signal chains while maintaining an intuitive workflow.
Touchscreen Interface and USB-C Connectivity for Modern Workflow
A 4" color touchscreen makes editing and navigation fast and intuitive, even within the Mini’s compact footprint. USB-C connectivity supports firmware updates, preset management and use as a USB audio interface for recording. Combined with streamlined controls and essential I/O, the Ampero Mini integrates easily into both live and studio environments.
Looper, Drum Machine and Expression Control for Creative Use
Built-in performance tools expand the Ampero Mini beyond standard modeling duties. Meanwhile, a looper with up to 100 seconds of recording time and a drum machine with 100 rhythm patterns support practice and songwriting, while an external expression input allows real-time parameter control. These features add flexibility without complicating the interface.
Ampero Power in an Ultra-Compact Design
Designed for players who value portability without sacrificing tone, the Hotone Ampero Mini delivers modeling flexibility, intuitive control and practical performance tools in a compact unit. Whether used on a pedalboard, desktop setup or travel rig, the Ampero Mini—available in a variety of colors—provides professional amp modeling and effects in a streamlined format.
