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.

-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. 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.

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.

Troubleshooting
Device won’t turn on
• Make sure the power supply is properly connected and the device is switched on.
• 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.
Problems with expression pedal
• Check your expression pedal on/off settings.
• Try calibrating the pedal.
• When using an external expression pedal, make sure you’re using a 1/4” male-to-male TRS cable.
