    Been a long time subscriber. Can't tell you all the products you've sold me on, but the Hotone Ampero is one of them. After watching your review, I immediately went online and ordered one. It supposedly was delivered today. When I get home and unbox it, I will go back and rewatch your Ampero videos to gain a better understanding of its capacity. Thanks for the lessons.
    BTW, your playing is so smooth and epic!

    @Eventual420 5 лет назад +1

    You touch on an interesting point about the timing of samples to drums. It’s one of the hardest things to do when using sampler’s. I was hoping that the sampler would set it’s length to the measure of the beats. So as to say you could set your sampler to be a two bar or four bar sample and it would automatically fit in. Right now I just use the mathematics. If my Measure is 13.57 seconds long I know how long to set the sampler. And then it automatically fits and doesn’t run off.
    These are hard to find right now, they are sold out everywhere. OMG, you rock. Killer jam.

    Regarding the loop sync with the drums;
    According to the manual (under the section about the Looper) it says there’s a drum sync mode. This is at least to start the drums. Do you know if it also helps you to end the loop on a new drum beat?
    It would solve the timing issue, but I don’t yet have an Ampero to try with.
    Thanks

Also what exact is rev and 1/2 speed ... both seem to just slow the sound big time . In fact when I save the third push button for FX is still only does 1/2 speed and rev. Am I missing something ?

Is it a viable option for playing live? Can you keep the original tone of your acoustic or does the Ampero colour the sound? Also how does it deal with feedback? Thanks!

  • @jaishankarkasthuri9048
    @jaishankarkasthuri9048 5 лет назад +1

    Jonathan, Very informative video with good guitar playing. Thanks! I note your concern about how challenging it is to be precise when using the drum machine with the looper. On my Zoom G3n, I can mitigate this problem by putting the drum machine module before the looper module - and once the loop has been recorded (drum machine is recorded with the guitar), I can then turn off the drum machine. Loop that is playing will still contain drums. Any slight impreciseness in ending of loop is still there, but it is not very noticeable because it does not add up with the number of times the loop is repeated. Can something similar be done on the Ampero?

    Hi Jonathan. I'm really interested in this pedal. Is it possible to change bank while recording on the looper? Aka, I started with a clean sound recorded, then I switch the bank to a distorted sound and record it while the clean sound looping in the background. Then I solo over the clean and distorted sound combined loop. Is it possible to do that? Please let me know. Love your playing dude.

    • @JonIsJustTooLoud

      @@JonIsJustTooLoud hi, thanks for your response, but I don't quite understand what you mean by changing the psych of the looper. And the video is only 12 minutes long. From what my understanding is you need an additional midi control to change patch while recording on the loop? Can I record a clean patch on the loop, then I press the bank 3& control button to exit out of the loop, change the patch to a distorted sound and record distorted guitar rhythm over the loop? Or does the looper stops playing music when I press the bank 3 & control button?
