Hotone Ampero Mini Launches: Smallest Multi-Effects Pedal?

One problem that most guitar owners experience is the hassle of bringing their equipment wherever they go. Luckily, there exist mini amps for guitars, but when it comes to multi-effects pedals, this used to not be a thing until now.

Hotone Launches Multi-Effects Pedal as One of Its Smallest Ever

According to the story by Guitar World, Hoton has just launched a new multi-effects pedal. This is said to be its smallest one ever, completely travel size and can be held in one hand, as seen in its pictures.

The new device will reportedly place the Ampero II Stomp's power into an even smaller package, making it more convenient for users. It was noted that the palm-sized pedal is not just considered the smallest amp modeler pedal by Hotone, but also its most affordable.

As for its price, the mini pedal is said to sell at just $255 and the article by Guitar World talks about how this price point is fair, given the many specs that buyers will be getting along with this pedal. Aside from its specs, the fact that it's portable is also another thing to consider.

The Device Weighs Just 1.1 lbs and is Less than 134 mm Long

Regarding just how small the Hotone Ampero Mini actually is, it was noted that it weighed around 1.1 lbs and was less than 134 mm long. This could also be a potential assimilation for busy board users.

Although only packing two footswitches, it reportedly offers something that some other multi-effects gadgets don't offer, a touchscreen display. When it comes to practicality and use case, the mini pedal offers advanced customization options.

For example, the Ampero Mini offers amps and effects models that users can arrange in its 198 preslots. All available parameters are available for tweaking, making it easier for users to insert their own playstyle or preferred sequence.

Device Comes with Advanced Customizable Features

The device packs a dual-DSP platform promising authentic sound with the CDCM HD + F.I.R.E modeling technology included for added experience. The tech reportedly stems from decades of research and promises "faithful dynamic variation" as well as the main essentials that most users know from other gears.

Regarding practice, the Ampero Mini contains customer IR loader for third-party IRs to make everything more versatile. It also packs 52 amp models, 50 cab models, and even 199 pedal models, which it described as "legendary."

Fans Can Check Out the Different Palettes of the Device

It also comes complete with Hotone Windows/Mac editing software compatibility, which gives owners added control over the functions. It was also noted that the USB-C output means that the Ampero Mini can also be used as an audio interface.
