The Hotone ampero has been around a while but look closer as we show you things you did not know inside and out.

This amplifier simulator and effects unit for guitar, keyboard and more has stood the test of time, and at about 18 months or two years down the road it stands up there with many of the newer but similar devices.
My other reviews:
Line6 POD Go : youtu.be/kXEnbBHPPDA
Roland GT1000CORE : youtu.be/FdGkvVf1D-I
Headrush MX5 : youtu.be/WzV3BQNywko
Mooer GE-300 : youtu.be/rSZVMzVR2fA
Roland/Boss GT-1000 : youtu.be/VW7PP4d-12M
We examine how the Hotone ampero is made inside, discuss the processor and components. The I look at the control hardware, and later the control software.
Lastly I discuss warranty (you can still buy this device) and offer a score based on my experience. Find out what you might not have known before you saw this video.
I did have a switch: a 2-way that was thrown in when I bought this unit off eBay. This is NOT an hotone ampero 2 or hotone ampero one, and not the hotone ampero 2 stomp, but this review is a precursor to a comparison of the new stomp which I will review in a week or so against the Ampero original.
This video is entirely created from my own money and time involved and there is no sponsorship whatsoever, that's why this is a genuine and true review! Remember that, then subscribe and click for all notifications to make sure newer reviews like the stomp you get notified about.
There is no guitar playing in this review as that is for the next review of the stomp pedal.
