Hotone AMPERO II Stage — Amp Modeler & Effects Processor

Your whole rig. One board. No compromises.

The Ampero II Stage is Hotone's flagship floor unit, built from the ground up for people who actually gig. A triple-core digital platform paired with ESS® Sabre® independent AD/DA converters and the evolved CDCM HD & F.I.R.E. modeling system delivers dynamic, musical tone — whether you're on a festival stage or in a 100-cap livehouse. Eight assignable footswitches with multicolour halo LEDs, a redesigned UI and built-in LED strip lighting make it fast to drive under stage lights. A 5-inch 800x480 colour touchscreen handles the rest with smartphone-style interaction.
