Effects Chain
The effects chain (or simply “chain”) shows the current internal signal routing/effect procession including current effects chain
type, signal routing, current effects and effects combination, etc.
Ampero II Stomp features two effects chains with flexible serial/parallel options.
2
Effect Slot
Effect slots (or simply “slots”) are spaces located on an effects chain for adding effects. Ampero II Stomp features 6 slots on one
effects chain, 12 slots in total.
Module
Ampero II Stomp employs 13 kinds of effects, each kind is called an “effects module,” or simply “module”. There are several
effects available in each module. To use an effect, add a module to an empty effect slot, and then pick one effect in the module.
There are also some modules used for signal routing only.
Parameter
Variables that determine the application of an effect are called “parameters”. If we imagine each slot as a separate effect pedal,
then each parameter would be a knob on that pedal.
Node
The beginning/end of an effects chain or the intersection of two effects chains is called a “node”:
•Input node is the beginning of an effects chain that sets signal input source;
•Output node is the end of an effects chain that determines where the signal goes;
•Split node splits one effects chain into two, sending the signal to two effects chains;
•Mixer node combines two effects chains into one.
Patch
The ON/OFF status and current module/effect of each effect slot, parameter settings and related controller/expression pedal
settings are stored in units called “patches”. These are your “tones.” Use patches to recall, edit, and save your favorite tones.
DES IGN INS PIRATI ON
Bank
A set of 3 patches is called a “bank”. Ampero II Stomp has a total of 100 banks, which means, you have up to 300 fully
editable/savable patches. If you made a factory reset, the first 99 patches (factory preload patches) will be restored.

Modules
A blank effect slot is just like a short cable that have no effect on your tone. So, if you want to start your tone sculpting, you need
to add an effect module (or simply “module”), and pick one effect contained in the module.
Ampero II Stomp features 13 effects modules as listed below:
• DYN: Dynamic effects like compressor, boost, noise gate, etc.
• FREQ: Filter-based effects like low/band/high pass filter, envelope/auto filter, pitch shift/detune, octave, etc.
• WAH: Wah pedal
• VOL: Volume pedal
• DRV: Overdrive and distortion
• AMP: Amp modeling effects
• PRE AMP: Preamp effects incl. acoustic/bass preamps
• CAB: Cabinet simulations
• IR: For loading built-in factory IRs (incl. acoustic IRs) and user Irs
• EQ: Equalizers
• MOD: Modulation effects
• DLY: Delay effects
• RVB: Reverb effects

There are also 3 FX Loop related modules:
• FX SND: FX loop send module for sending signal to external devices via unit’s FX loop send jack
• FX RTN: FX loop return module for receiving signal from external devices via unit’s FX loop return jack
• FX LOOP: FX loop module for inserting external effects to an effects chain via unit’s FX loop jacks
Effect Slot Status
There are three slot status shown as below:

Effects Chain Types
Ampero II Stomp supports various effects chain types:
Parallel
The chain A and B are fully parallel (won’t affect each other),
When you load an empty patch, the default effects chain
type is a special parallel state that only chain A is working.
Split-Mix
An input signal will be split into two and sent to both chain A
and B, then mixed into one and sent to one output:
Page 17

Split/Mixer Node Settings
When using two chains, for best possible result, you need to carefully setup split and mixer nodes.
The texts next will show
Split Node
Select a split node and the parameters will come up as shown below:
MODE lets you select a signal separation mode:
•Mode I
In this mode the split node outputs same signals to both chain A and B as node input signal. If the split node is between slots
containing effects with same signal I/O processing (all mono or stereo effects), this mode is recommended.
Use
LEVEL TO A/B to set output level to A/B chains from 0~100, default is set to 100.
you how to setup split and mixer nodes.
Notice the parameter difference between Mode I and II
DES IGN INS PIRATI ON
Please note:
If you’re mixing mono/stereo effects in slots around split node, the actual output may differ from what you expected. For
example, use a stereo delay in the slot right before the split node with different delay settings on L/R channels, then use two
mono filters in the slots right next to split node on both A/B chains, the result is you can only hear the delay settings on left
channel. This is because effects with mono input use left channel of input signal ONLY.
For detailed signal I/O processing, please check Effects List (). page 41
Page 19
Customizing Your Ampero II Stomp
•Mode II
In this mode the split node will convert node input signal into dual mono signal and send it to both chain A and B. If the split
node is between slots with mixed mono/stereo effects (e.g. one stereo effect in the slot right before the split node, two mono
effects in slots right next to the split node on both chains for processing L/R outputs of the stereo effect), this mode is
recommended.
Use BALANCE A/B to set output signal content (L/R ratio of node input signal) from L50 ~Center~R50, default is set to
Center. Fine tune the parameter depending on your needs:
•BALANCE set to L50/R50 means only left/right channel of input signal will be sent to the slots next to split node
•BALANCE set to a value in between means a mixed signal will be sent to the slots next to split node; the value sets the
mixing ratio, set to Center means mixing ratio=1:1
Use LEVEL TO A/B to set output level to A/B chains from 0~100, default is set to 100.
Please note:
setting split node to Mode II only will NOT lead to a result like “left output is a kind and right is another”, since extra
output/mixer nodes settings are needed.
17
Mixer Node
Select a split node and the parameters will come up as shown below:
Use A/B LEVEL to set input level from A/B chains. The ranges are all 0~100, defaults are all set to 100.
Use A/B PAN to set input signal stereo panning from A/B chains. The ranges are all L50~Center~R50, defaults are all set to
Center.
When you mix A/B chain signals, output may sound very sharp/thin/weak/muddy, even left and right outputs are L/R not
balanced, this may be caused by signal phase issue. If mixed output sounds abnormal, you can set B POLARITY to reverse
chain B signal phase and see if the problem solved or not. B POLARITY is set to Normal by default. Sometimes reversing chain
B’s phase may surprise you.
Use MASTER to set output level of mixer node. The range is 0~100, default is set to 50.
Turn on MASTER SUM switch to sum mixer node output to a dual mono output. Default is set to Off.
Please note:
1. When using stereo effects, in some cases, turning on MASTER SUM may lead to an abnormal output or even no output,
this may be caused by L/R phase cancellation.
2. Please adjust A/B LEVEL and MASTER carefully to prevent signal clipping.

When editing modules/effects chains, in some extreme cases the signal processor may become overloaded and display this
caution:
If this happens (the effect output is probably abnormal), try changing out some of the effects modules/node positions/chain
types, move modules back or to another position, delete unnecessary modules, etc.

Tap Tempo And Tap Divide
If you want a certain effect to be controlled by tap tempo, go into the patch settings, select an effect, then select S8YNC. When
you do this, the time will sync to the tap tempo value.
You can also opt to use tap divide rather than time-based tempo. The default tap divide is set to quarter notes (1/4).
Set the tempo by repeatedly tapping the footswitch. This tempo will apply to the delay time and other effects with adjustable
speed parameters.
Tap divide values in relation to their musical beats are shown below:
To use tap tempo function you can:
(1) Switch to Stomp Mode, assign Tap Tempo function to one of footswitch 1-3; when in Tap Tempo, the footswitch LED will
turn blue and will flash with the tempo set
(2) Apply a momentary footswitch and assign Tap Tempo function
(3) Use MIDI controller (see MIDI Controller Information List on )page 34
To setup built-in footswitches please go to CTRL section ();page 24

mixers or audio interfaces.
Use BYPASS MODE to select between DSP Bypass and Analog Bypass modes.
Please remember USB audio will also be bypassed when the unit is bypassed.
•DSP Bypass
Default bypass mode featuring digital buffer bypass switching, great for avoiding signal loss that caused by long signal path
(long patch cables, too many pedals in the chain, etc.). In most situation, DSP Bypass is recommended.
Supports mono in/mono out, mono in/stereo out, stereo in/out configurations. The output jacks and phones jack share the
same output.
•Analog Bypass
Hardwire true analog bypass mode that keeps your signal path pristine. In this mode, the left input is directly connected to left
output, so as the right I/Os. If you’re facing impedance matching issues (e.g. use Ampero II Stomp before fuzz pedals), or want
to keep a pure analog signal path, this mode is recommended.

•When chain A and B are in series, USB Audio Input 1/2 and 3/4 are the same
•FX Loop Return inputs are directly sent to USB Audio Input 5/6 regardless of patch settings
•Input L/R signals (dry signal) are directly sent to USB Audio Input 7/8 regardless of patch settings
USB Audio Outputs Routing
•USB Audio Output 1/2 (the main output) are sent to output L/R and phones jacks
•USB Audio Output 3/4 to 7/8 are reserved for sending different USB outputs depending on your settings of your computer or
DAWs
When recording, adjust the optimal REC LEVEL for each USB Audio Input 1/2 to 7/8 according to the instrument or other input
you’re using. Adjustable ranges are all from Mute~-60dB~+20dB, defaults are all set to 0dB.
Use MONITOR LEVEL to set a proper monitor level for overall USB audio outputs. Adjustable range is from Mute~-60dB~+6dB,
defaults is set to 0dB.
Use OUTPUT SOURCE and FX SND SOURCE to determine which USB audio output will be sent to the corresponding jack. In
default, the OUTPUT SOURCE is set to USB OUT 1/2, and FX SND SOURCE is set to USB OUT OFF.

Advanced USB Audio Interface Function Guide
Next we’ll show you some advanced tricks when using your Ampero II Stomp as a USB audio interface.
Example 1: Monitoring Different Outputs
You can use Ampero II Stomp’s output/phones jacks and FX loop send jack for monitoring different signal sources.
In this example, a guitar is connected to unit’s left input, and a bass is connected to the right input. The two instruments will be
recorded simultaneously with different effects:
(1) Connect a pair of headphones to phones jack, connect a pair of monitor amps to FX loop send jack via a Y cable (unbalanced
connection);
(2) Launch a DAW and create two mono audio tracks. Set track 1’s input to USB Audio Input 1, output to USB Audio Output 1/2;
set track 2’s input to USB Audio Input 3, output to USB Audio Output 3/4. Then turn on monitor switches on both tracks;
(3) On your Ampero II Stomp, enter USB Audio menu and set OUTPUT SOURCE to USB OUT 1/2, then set FX SND SOURCE to
USB OUT 3/4;
(4) Enter I/O menu, set both OUTPUT SOURCE and FX SND SOURCE to USB Only;
(5) In the current patch, set the chain A/B to parallel and use mono effects only (e.g. amps and cabs);
(6) Set chain A’s input source to Input L and output to output jacks;
(7) Set chain B’s input source to Input R and output to FX loop send jack;
(8) You’ll hear guitar signal in headphones and bass signal in monitor amps if everything is set. Then record and get individual
guitar and bass tracks.
Example 2: Record Dry/Wet Tracks Simultaneously or Record Dry, Monitor Wet
You can use Ampero II Stomp’s multiple USB audio I/Os for recording multiple dry/wet tracks with DAW.
In this example, all global settings are set to default, factory patch P01-1 Ampero Strikes! is loaded:
(1) Connect a pair of headphones to phones jack and connect a guitar to unit’s input L channel;
(2) Launch a DAW and create two audio tracks. Set track 1’s input to USB Audio Input 1/2, output to USB Audio Output 1/2; set
track 2’s input to USB Audio Input 7, output to USB Audio Output 1/2. Then keep monitor switches off on both tracks;
(3) Still in DAW, set the two tracks can be recorded at the same time;
(4) Record both tracks. Then you get a stereo guitar track with effects and a mono dry guitar track.
If no wet signal is needed, in step (2) you only need to create one audio track and set track input to USB Audio Input 7 (or 7/8
depending on your needs).

Customizing Your Ampero II Stomp
Example 3: Reamping or Tone Creation With Dry Tracks
You can route Ampero II Stomp’s USB audio outputs to effects chains for reamping.
In this example, all global settings are set to default, and several guitar/bass dry DI tracks are needed:
(1) On your Ampero II Stomp, create a new patch and use chain A only. Set input node Source to USB OUT 3/4, INPUT CH to L, and
keep other parameters as default;
(2) Add a AMP and a CAB module in AMP-CAB order;
(3) Launch a DAW and create two audio tracks. Set track 1’s input to None, output to USB Audio Output 3/4; set track 2’s input to
USB Audio Input 1, output to USB Audio Output 1/2. Then keep monitor switches off on both tracks;
(4) Still in DAW, set only track 2 can be recorded, and import a dry track (Audio Clip A) to track 1;
(5) Connect a pair of headphones to phones jack or a pair of monitor amps to output L/R jacks (balanced connection);
(6) In DAW, start playback and loop the dry track in track 1, you’ll hear the Audio Clip A with effects (depending on AMP and CAB
settings);
(7) Adjust AMP and CAB parameters;
(8) Turn off looping switch in DAW. Record on track 2 with track 1 playing simultaneously. Then you get a wet track as you’ve
heard in step (6) (7);
(9) Repeat the steps above to get different reamped tracks.
For tone creation, you only need to execute steps (1) to (7).

Suggested Setups
Here are some common setups to get the most out of Ampero II Stomp.
Using with your instrument and amp
Plug your instrument into the unit’s input L jack (or L+R if stereo connection is needed), and run a cable (or two) from the output
jack(s) to your amplifier(s). If you have one amp, run the cable from the left output.
For best results, we recommend not to use AMP and CAB modules. You can add a PRE AMP module if you need more tonal
flexibilities.
When using with FX Loop jacks, please remember to add FX Loop related modules (FX SND/RTN/LOOP) or setup input/output
nodes properly.
37
Connecting to your amp's RETURN or Power Amp (Loudster)/FRFR
cabinet INPUT
Connect the outputs to your amp’s FX Loop Return input or power amp input. If you have one amp, run the cable from the left
output.
When using with non-FRFR amps, for best results, turn off the CAB module on Ampero II Stomp.
Sometimes, the AMP module may sound harsh or boomy when running through FX Loop Return jack on some amps. In this case,
use PRE AMP module instead of AMP module.

Suggested Setups
38
Connecting pedalboards
Set your Ampero II Stomp into your pedalboard, then connect other pedals/controller depending on I/O configurations. When
Ampero II Stomp is used as your core gear, if you’re using FX loop jacks, please make sure FX loop related modules/nodes are
properly set.
Please adjust patch volume properly or volume drop will occur when bypassing/engaging your Ampero II Stomp like a pedal.
Please remember bypass mode (DSP/Analog) may alter the tone a lot (e.g. connected in front of a fuzz pedal). If tonal issue
(which may caused by impedance mismatch) occurs, try to switch to a different bypass mode.
DES IGN INS PIRATI ON
Page 41
Suggested Setups
Connecting your mixer, interface, headphones, and other equipment
Connect Ampero II Stomp’s outputs to your mixer or audio interface’s corresponding inputs. We recommend you use balanced
connection (TRS cables or TRS to XLR cables are needed) for optimal signal to noise ratio. If you want to send a mono signal out,
use Ampero II Stomp’s left output channel. To prevent damage to your equipment, make sure the mixer or interface channel’s
volume is muted before making any connections.
Turn the output volume all the way down before connecting headphones to prevent harm to your ears. Ampero II Stomp’s
headphones out comes with hi-fi stereo sound.
For best results, please use AMP/PRE AMP and CAB modules.
39
Connecting to your computer as an audio interface
Connect a USB cable from Ampero II Stomp to your computer. For PC systems, you’ll need to set up the driver. Ampero II Stomp is
plug and play for macOS. Run line out cables to your monitors, or use headphones.
