Exacting Precision and Electrifying Expression — No Power Supply Needed

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 Sweetwater’s 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.

Hotone: scorching tones that take you to new sonic heights

Founded in 2012, Hotone’s innovative guitar and bass products are engineered with a singular aim: to inspire the creativity and artistry of musicians worldwide. A steadfast dedication to tone is apparent from the company’s name (pronounced “hot tone”), and its forward-thinking lineup lives up to that title with superb-sounding floor processors, pedals, amplifiers, and more. Scores of Sweetwater musicians choose Hotone’s professional-grade products to power their rigs, and they’re certainly in good company — Hotone’s star-studded, genre-defying collection of artist endorsements ranges from funk guitar phenom Cory Wong to pioneering Latin Christian artist Chris Rocha.

Hotone Ampero II Press Features:

  • Dual-function pedal supplies 2 vectors of control, amplifying your artistic palette
  • TRS 1/4-in. expression output supports multitudes of configurations to elicit evocative additions to your studio and stage sound
  • TRS 1/4-in. footswitch output allows you to seamlessly switch operating needs across a multitude of devices, FX, and more
  • Metal momentary footswitch provides satisfying tactility that gives you immediate, sensorial confirmation of your input
  • Dual-operation functionality means simultaneous expression and switching control, regardless of the destination

High quality pedal at a great price!
High quality pedal at a great price! Works great, what more could you want. The compact size is also a plus.
Rated 5/5
Good Companion for QC
I was looking for a double expression pedal to fit in my metro 20 pedalboard together with quad cortex. This is it. You can even fit it in a metro 16. Feels very sturdy under the foot and the switch works perfectly.

Works with Quad Cortex
A great budget option to go with a Quad Cortex.
