Hotone Ampero SE Silver Edition
Ampero amp modeller & effects processor is a game changer. Its heart-pounding amp modelling and uber-quality effects are powered by the new-gen CDCM HD (Comprehensive Dynamic Circuit Modeling High Definition) and F.I.R.E. (Field Impulse Response Enhancement) system, bringing you the absolute best the world has to offer. Packaged in a cool, thin case with a 4-inch hi-def colour touch screen, Ampero delivers all the real sounds of rock past and present.
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 modelling methods.
Mainstream modelling methods are generally based on static state circuitry modelling or “black box” theory, which just “comes close” to the modelled sound. CDCM HD & F.I.R.E. employs a complex system based on dynamic feature modelling. In this matrix, the technology “rebuilds” the entire circuitry using modelled 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.
