As the current guitar-playing landscape continues to grow and evolve, the opportunities for immense expression across multiple instruments, devices, hardware, and software near-limitlessly expand your creative horizons. Hotone developed the Ampero II Press pedal to do exactly that, capable of both detailed expression and rock-solid switching controls that can be used simultaneously with distinct destinations. This evocative 2-in-1 tool teems with sonic-contouring capabilities, impressing gigging guitarists with versatile controls and satisfying tactility, with an actual footswitch situated behind the expression-pedal surface. Where most companies would opt for a rubber soft-switch or similar material, Hotone realized that when you’re in the frenzy of live performance or long-haul studio sessions, the metal footswitch not only feels good to press, but it also confirms your commitment immediately and sensorially. The road-ready Ampero II Press features a rugged aluminum-alloy chassis, guaranteeing long-term, laser-accurate expression with virtually any compatible device. Best of all, it’s completely passive. Hotone’s Ampero II Press is ready to roll whenever you are, from studio to stage, with no power supply needed to maximize your expression and seize your sonic domain.
