HOTONE MIDI Foot Controller Pedal Bluetooth Ampero Control 4 Button

Had huge expectations in this one. I'm currently downsizing full amp/pedals to apps as Tonebridge and Amplitube. My idea was to attach this as a simulated footswitch to change presets in real time... let me down big time. First it will only connect through its app (for some reason device itself will not detect it) because of this the the ampero disconnects quite often to the point is not usable. It looks nice and sturdy, seems to have quite a big chunk of functionalities but in my case it failed big time. If you are connecting using usb or midi give it a try, else stay away from it. I purchased a Boss FS-1-WL simultaneously as that one can do start/stop for song, work as a keyboard etc... sadly the huge Boss price is there for a reason, that device is a tank, connected right away, all configs nice and crisp, been running flawless the last 3 days. BTW I tested this in 5 devices, updated firmware, factory reset, plug and unplug, nothing worked.

The footswitch quality is really good, and was working in perfect conditions, but sadly is not compatible with Onsong (the most used lyrics app). I contacted customer care and they couldn’t help, so had to return it

Utilisé en filaire avec pédale Boss rc5 pour enregistrements, re enregistrements, replay,. Comme fe fais plein d'erreurs au debut d'un nouveau morceau, c a fait vraiment gagner temps et confort. Commandes au pied paramétrable. Juste un bémol, le coussinets en dessous ont tendance à se decoller

My pedalboard MIDI needs are fairly simple. I want to control my Katana Artist channels and 3 outboard MIDI pedals and create a few presets for solos and certain song parts etc. The Ampero Control has more MIDI power than I'll ever need and the form factor works well for my particular setup. The companion app is fairly easy to use and I've not noticed any issues with losing connectivity to my iPad. Set up and pairing was quick and painless. For MIDI control you can set your control to toggle, momentary, multi etc and can mix and match PC and CC commands, and name your banks etc just like you can with Morningstar and the Matthews Futurist with just a few swipes on your tablet or phone. It works off standard pedalboard power supply and by all appearances, sturdily built. The switches do not feel cheap and the pedal itself has good weight to it. Having laid down all the praise, there is one thing that may be a huge drawback, especially if you use loads of presets. There's no way to visibly tell what bank you are in on the pedal. I emailed Hotone support and they got back to me promptly but sadly this cannot be done. So if you need banks and banks of presets you would either need to keep your phone/tablet on and visible to see where you are, or remember what Bank you were in by banking up and down again. In my case it's not a huge issue, I basically am just using one bank but for folks with serious MIDI needs it could be a real drag. Overall I'm very happy with the Hotone Ampero Control and it is the perfect fit for my current small pedalboard.

Ideal para teclistas. Se enchufan a la entrada usb del teclado y pueden controlar todos los parámetros de control change que se quiera. Tanto si son de tipo instantáneo como si son mensaje al pisar / otro mensaje al soltar o interruptor on / off. Como pedal de sustain son un poco incómodos, pero para controlar bancos, modulación, etc., perfectos. Aunque tienen alimentador, se alimentan por el cable usb, lo cual hace que para el diurecto se necesiten menos aparatos. El único pero es que son un poco caros.

Muchas reseñas mencionan que no funciona directamente con Midi USB, pero yo no tuve problemas, solo edita los canales MIDI, cierras la app, y mapeas con tus plug-ins. Lo uso mucho para eventos. 👌 Muy práctico

I bought this to use with my Headrush MX-5. Configuration was relatively simple despite having little experience with midi stuff. The controller seems well built and as important, looks good! If there was a 6 or 8 switch version, I would buy that as 4 has proven to be a little less than what I need. However, overall this was a good purchase.
