Description

Conventional external expression pedals often control only parameters of an effects unit, requiring the use of switches on the effects unit to change its status. Ampero II Press solves this problem perfectly with its built-in single footswitch. And the optimized footswitch structure provides the excellent tactile feedback. Designed with a passive circuit, it's reliable and convenient. Whether on stage or in the studio, Ampero II Press is ready to add extraordinary expressiveness to your performance. Ampero II Press adds a switching function on top of its expression capabilities, following the design of traditional single pedals. By stepping on the front end, you can trigger the footswitch to directly switch the operating status. This eliminates the cumbersome process of using an effects unit's footswitch for switching, as required by conventional expression pedals. Compared to conventional expression pedals, Ampero II Press provides the most convenient and user-friendly experience. Built-in footswitches of effects units typically use rubber pads to simulate footswitches, resulting in weak tactile feedback. Ampero II Press, on the other hand, employs a unique "click" footswitch, allowing you to feel the pedal's status change with certainty while performing on a lively stage. Ampero II Press pairs naturally with Ampero II Stage, but its compatibility extends far beyond that! Ampero II Press connects to effect units via an EXP OUT and an FS OUT interface, making it suitable for any effects unit with dual EXP interfaces. It's perfectly suited to control various brands effects units which have dual EXP interfaces.

This thing works fantastic with the Boss Katana and GA-FC! I have the expression connected to the amp and the switch connected to a GA-FC. This allows me to assign whatever parameter I want in any given patch to the pedal and the switch will activate or deactivate it (being a volume pedal when the assigned FX is off.) The most basic config is to use it as a normal wah where the toe switch turns it on and off.

You could also hook up both jacks to the GA-FC and achieve the same thing, but running the expresison output directly to the amp frees up an expression jack on the GA-FC. This allows me to hook up a tap tempo button to the 2nd jack or a 2nd expression pedal to the GA-FC.

I've only just received this and am impressed after one day of use but we'll see how it holds up to long-term usage. I'll come back and update this if it falls short but I honestly don't expect it to.

Comes nicely packaged including a perfectly cut velcro hook patch for attaching to your pedalboard (if you use velcro) and an extra non-slip pedal face in case the one already attached ever wears out. Great price, nice solid build - does exactly what I need it to.

Aún no he usado su salida para el interruptor, por ahora sólo como pedal de expresión y va de lujo. Por poner una pega es que no va a funcionar con todos los dispositivos, creo que korg y yamaha necesitan polaridad inversa a esta, pero para mis dispositivos boss y tc electronic va perfecto.

Pédale d'expression super pratique pour être utiliser comme wah par exemple via les plugins Neural DSP ou STL Tones. Associé à l'ampero Control c'est comme avoir un vrai pédalier en beaucoup moins cher.

I'm using this with a Fractal Audio Ax8. The auto-on/off feature for expression pedals is pretty bad, so I wanted something that could both toggle an effect and control it, primarily wah but also useful for other things. Setup depends on the device you're using it with. For the AX8 you may need to adjust your external control settings to make the toe switch work correctly; by default it acted as a momentary (only on when held) switch, but with the correct settings it will act as a latching (stays on until pressed again) switch.

It's well-constructed and made of what feels like durable material, and it looks nice for whatever that's worth. The toe switch is easy to use and unless you're going crazy you're unlikely to accidentally hit the switch. The rocker feels accurate but that will also depend on the device you're using and how well it is calibrated to that device.

I find it works very well for how I'm using it, and it allows me to control the wah models as if it was the real thing.
