Module

Ampero One supports the simultaneous use of up to 9 effects. Each is called an “effects module”, or simply “module”. There are several effects available in each module.

Parameter

Variables that determine the application of an effect are called “parameters”. If we imagine each module as a separate effect pedal, then each parameter would be a knob on that pedal.

Patch

The ON/OFF status of each module and the parameter settings are stored in units called “patches”. These are your “tones”. Use patches to recall, edit, and save your favorite tones.

Bank

A set of 3 patches is called a “bank”. Ampero One has a total of 66 banks, including 33 editable player (user) banks and 33 factory banks (F01-F33), which can be adjusted by not saved.

If you want a certain effect to be controlled by tap tempo, go into the patch settings, select an effect, then select SYNC. When you do this, the time will sync to the tap tempo value.

•EXP 1 Settings There are four options within this menu: Target, Expression Range, Volume Range, and Calibrate.

- Target Under the Target option, you can set the pedal’s control target. You can set up a maximum of four effects parameters for the built-in expression pedal to control.

In the selection panel, MODULE X (X standing for 1-4 controllable targets) represents the effects module in play. EFFECT X displays the actual effect name, and PARA X shows the effect’s controllable parameter. You can also turn the expression pedal off by turning selecting OFF in the settings panel.

-Expression Range Under the Expression Range option, you can set the expression pedal expression range and sweep curve. There are four adjustable targets to change these settings.

In the selection panel, MIN X (X standing for 1-4 controllable targets) represents the lowest range value. This is the value the pedal will have when pushed all the wayup. MAX X represents the highest range value, when the pedal is pushed all the way down. CURVE X represents the curve line the pedal will follow when pushed fromall the way up to all the way down. The MIN and MAX range is 0-100, and the MIN value can be greater than the MAX value. There are three CURVE types:

Line follows a straight line Exp follows an exponential line from slow to fast Log follows a logarithmic line that changes as the pedal moves

- Volume Range When the built in expression pedal is off, it continues to work as a volume pedal for Ampero One. Under the Volume Range option, you can set the volume pedal range and sweep curve. Same as Expression Range section, MIN and MAX represent the lowest/highest volume range value. The MIN and MAX range is 0100, and the MIN value can be greater than the MAX value. There are also three CURVE types like expression settings: Line, Exp and Log.

• Check if the power adapter is working properly.

•Check if you’re using the correct power adapter.

No sound or slight sound

• Make sure your cables are connected properly.

• Make sure the volume knob is adjusted properly.

• When the expression pedal is used for volume control, check it’s position and volume settings.

• Check the effects module volume settings.

• Check the patch volume settings.

• Make sure your input device is not muted.

Noise

• Make sure your cables are connected properly.

• Check your instrument output jack.

• Check if you’re using the correct power adapter.

• When using the balanced outputs, try switching the GND LIFT on.

•If the noise is coming from your instrument, try using the noise reduction module to adjust it.

Sound problems

• Make sure your cables are connected properly.

• Check your instrument output jack.

• If you’re using an external expression pedal to control distortion or other similar parameters, check to see if the expression pedal is set up properly.

• Check your effects parameter setup. If effects are set to extremes, Ampero may only emit noise.
