Module

Ampero 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.

Panel

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 has a total of 66 banks,
including 33 editable player (user) banks and 33 factory banks (F01­F33), which can be adjusted by not saved.

Tap Tempo and Tap Divide

To use tap tempo function you can:

(1) Hold the footswitch when Module/Tap or EXP 1 On/Off function
is assigned to CTRL footswitch
(2) Assign Tap Tempo function to CTRL footswitch

When in Tap Tempo, the footswitch LED will turn blue and will flash
with the tempo set. Set the tempo by repeatedly tapping the
footswitch. This tempo will apply to the delay time and other effects
with adjustable speed parameters.
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.

You can also opt to use tap divide rather than time-based tempo. The
default tap divide is set to quarter notes (1/4).
Tap divide values in relation to their musical beats are shown below:

Quick Access Knobs

This menu allows you to set the parameter targets for the three Quick

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.

Suggested Setups

Here are some common setups to get the most out of Ampero.

Using with your instrument and amp

Plug your instrument into the Ampero instrument IN jack, and run a cable (or two) from the unbalanced OUT to your amplifier(s). If you have one
amp, run the cable from the left output.
For best results, turn off the AMP and CAB modules on Ampero.

18

Connecting to your amp's RETURN or Power Amp (Loudster) INPUT

Connect the unbalanced outputs to your amp’s FX Loop Return input or post amp input. If you have one amp, run the cable from the left output. For
best results, turn off the CAB module on Ampero.

DES IGN INS PIRATI ON

Suggested Setups

19

Connecting your mixer, interface, headphones, and other equipment

Connect Ampero’s balanced or unbalanced outputs to your mixer or audio interface’s corresponding inputs. Use the balanced outputs for optimal
signal to noise ratio. If you want to send a mono signal out, use Ampero’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.
If you experience unwanted noise when using the balanced outputs, it is likely produced by the ground loop. In this case, turn on Ampero’s GND LIFT
switch.
Turn the Ampero output volume all the way down before connecting headphones to prevent harm to your ears. Ampero’s headphones out comes
with hi-fi stereo sound.
For best results with headphones, turn on Ampero’s AMP and CAB modules.

DES IGN INS PIRATI ON

Suggested Setups

Connecting to your computer as an audio interface

Connect a USB cable (not included) from Ampero to your computer. For PC systems, you’ll need to set up the driver. Ampero is plug and play for
macOS. Run line out cables to your monitors, or use headphones.

20

Using the AUX IN line

Connect a male-to-male 1/8” stereo cable from your audio source (phone or MP3 player) to Ampero’s AUX IN jack. This line will be unaffected by
Ampero’s internal effects. Note: if you are running a mono line out, you will only hear a mono version of your AUX source.
