Ampero Stage MP-380

Coming from the HX Stomp the Ampero has similar tones but the ease of use I think is industry leading. Very easy to create and modify patches. Bluetooth connectivity is very nice - I use it with the Bandhelper app to automate patch and scene selection. Desktop editor is very good. Community not as evolved as the heavyweight modelers but hopefully that comes with time. Overall, very hard to beat at this price point.

Nice sound

Requires special security software on PC and special software app for custom IR load. It would work a lot better on a Mac. I also use my PC for financial work and can’t change security so I had to return. The unit is capable of a lot of emulations. They are ok to good, not excellent. There is a lot of noise so custom emulations require extensive use of built in noise filters but it can be done.

The possibilities are amazing with this. Has a lot in it but still easy to navigate. Sounds are good. I can use it with both my electric and acoustic guitars. Feels like a quality well thought out effects pedal. I do wish it had the expression pedal built in but that’s a small complaint. You can use one and if you have one it will work with it.

This unit excels at portability, functionality, connectivity, flexibility, overall design and ease of use. However, there are numerous bugs and some design flaws in the software. I'm counting on these to be fixed with future software and firmware updates. The amp/cab models seem on par with other modern rigs. But the main weakness is in the effects models. The verbs and delays are adequate but not impressive. There is nothing like a bucket brigade chorus which is disappointing. The modulation effects are sub-par. In fact, most choruses sound like a flanger and are very low resolution. Processing power seems limited and it seems they've scaled back modulation quality due to that. I'm hoping they get better algorithms in future updates. I've had a digitech ipb-10 for nearly 12 years and it offers far superior effects in modulations, choruses, flangers, etc. But it's early in the Ampero life cycle, and they can only improve. Let's hope they raise the quality of the sounds to match that of the hardware and program ability, which are excellent. Provisional 4 stars...

Great sounds and 3 interfaces - the unit touchscreen, Bluetooth app (no more bending down!), and pc/Mac all work great! Solid build.

AWEGOO listed as new unit, it was used. Obvious wear, screens had been modified by whomever had it prior. Parts missing, Glad I returned it, got my refund from Amazon, then went to Sweetwater to order a new one that I knew would be brand new because the unit is very, very good. Built well, sounds great. Well worth the price.

Pretty good quality for the price pretty good on board memory no complaints for the money.

I have tried all of the guitars modelers/profilers/effects processors in the past & I can say that by far this is a top quality item! + Very good build quality + Top-notch guitar effects + Extremely intuitive control with the touchscreen + Impressive amp modeling In my ears, most amps & effects are better than Line6 Stomp HX, that is the "big rival". I even prefer it over Neural DSP. I cannot say about its durability, since I don't own it for a long time.

Dopo un paio di giorni di utilizzo sono molto soddisfatto.Unica nota negativa è il fatto che l' unità pur in perfette condizioni presentava modifiche alle Patch quindi non è esattamente nuovo.Magari un reso o unità testata da qualcuno.

tres bon multi effet, ça fait le job, c'est peu l'usine à gaz, avant de capter comment tout ça fonctionne, beaucoup de chose inutile comme sur tous ces appareils aujourd'hui .Deux bémols, le premier le son marshall est catastrophique, par contre les friedmann et autres suhr c'est parfait, et puis on est vite limité dans la chaine si on prend des IR et des fichiers Tone, alors là pas question de mettre 36 effets derrière, à ce jour c'est un bon produit, et bien sûr dans dix ans il ne vaudra plus rien comme tout ce qui est électronique, mais je compte le garder le plus longtemps possible, autre gros avantage, ce n'est pas du tout volumineux et donc un gros avantage.

Tengo la Ampero II Stomp desde hace dos años, y ha sido una experiencia tan grata que decidí actualizar a la Stage, para tener más funciones disponibles. Con las últimas actualizaciones, es un equipo sumamente versátil y práctico, con el que se puede cómodamente tocar en vivo, grabar, ensayar y componer. Además, la construcción y los componentes son de alta calidad, y el sonido que se puede obtener es excelente. Sin duda, una de las mejores inversiones en relación calidad/precio que he hecho en mi vida como músico.

The packaging is slightly torn. The device is working. I am currently trying his sound.
