11 Customizing Your Ampero II Stomp This section will show you how to customize your Ampero II Stomp’s settings, edit patches, setup the expression pedal, and change other features to your taste. EDIT Edit your patches to get the tone you want. Remember that turning the effect slots on/off and adjusting parameters will change the current patch. If you switch patches or turn the unit off before saving your changes, the changes will be lost.
12 Customizing Your Ampero II Stomp Effects Chain Basics The upper effects chain is called effects chain A (or simply “chain A”), the lower chain is called effects chain B (or simply “chain B”): Chain A Chain A Chain B Chain B Chain A Chain B Notice that the upper chain is always chain A, the lower is always chain B, regardless of chain type The signal flow direction is fixed from left to right: Nodes The beginning/end of an effects chain or the intersection of two effects chains is called a “node”:
13 Customizing Your Ampero II Stomp Modules A blank effect slot is just like a short cable that have no effect on your tone. So, if you want to start your tone sculpting, you need to add an effect module (or simply “module”), and pick one effect contained in the module. Ampero II Stomp features 13 effects modules as listed below: • DYN: Dynamic effects like compressor, boost, noise gate, etc. • FREQ: Filter-based effects like low/band/high pass filter, envelope/auto filter, pitch shift/detune, octave, etc.
14 Customizing Your Ampero II Stomp There are two selections available for chain B only: • None: no input, then chain B will turn gray to indicate chain B not working: • Chain A: Receives outputs from chain A, in this case, the chain A and B connects in series (see Effects Chain Types section on page 14 for details): INPUT CH lets you select the signal input channel: • L/R: For FX loop return jack, the left channel is connected to tip conductor and the right channel is connected to ring: FX loop wiring
15 Customizing Your Ampero II Stomp Y-A/B An input signal will be split into two and routed to two outputs via both chain A and B: A/B-Y Two signal inputs will be mixed into one and sent to one output: Serial Chain A and B are connected in series (head to tail): The touch screen lets you easily change effects chain types within a few taps and drags.
16 Customizing Your Ampero II Stomp Using Effects Chain Templates You can load built-in effects chain templates for quick setup, or save all your current effects chain settings (incl. chain type and node settings) as a user effects chain template. Press button and the effects chain template menu will appear: k Factory Template submenu lets you choose from one effects chain type mentioned above.
17 Customizing Your Ampero II Stomp • Mode II In this mode the split node will convert node input signal into dual mono signal and send it to both chain A and B. If the split node is between slots with mixed mono/stereo effects (e.g. one stereo effect in the slot right before the split node, two mono effects in slots right next to the split node on both chains for processing L/R outputs of the stereo effect), this mode is recommended.
18 Customizing Your Ampero II Stomp Save Effects Chain Templates You can save a group of effects chain settings (chain type and node settings, slots/modules/effects are not included) as a user effects chain template so that you can recall anytime in any patch.
19 Customizing Your Ampero II Stomp Effects Settings in Effects Chains Menu You can switch effects slots on/off, adjust effect parameters loaded in a slot, change to a different effect in a module loaded in a slot (in this menu you can’t change module).
20 Customizing Your Ampero II Stomp Swap Drag and drop a module on the target module: Or you can press and hold a module until module edit menu appear: Select Swap and choose a target module by touchscreen or Main Knob: Copy/Paste You can copy a module (incl. current effect and parameter settings) and paste it repeatedly.
21 Customizing Your Ampero II Stomp When editing modules/effects chains, in some extreme cases the signal processor may become overloaded and display this caution: If this happens (the effect output is probably abnormal), try changing out some of the effects modules/node positions/chain types, move modules back or to another position, delete unnecessary modules, etc.
22 Customizing Your Ampero II Stomp Using FX Loop To use unit’s FX loop jacks you need to: (1) Assign input source/output destination to FX loop jacks (see Input Node Settings section on page 13, Output Node Settings section on page 14 and USB Audio section on page 31) (2) Add a FX loop related module (FX SND/RTN/LOOP) Next we’ll show you how to setup an FX loop related module.
23 Customizing Your Ampero II Stomp FX LOOP The FX LOOP module sends signal from previous slot/node to FX Loop Send jack and signal from the FX Loop Return jack to next slot/node.
24 Customizing Your Ampero II Stomp CTRL/EXP Use the control settings to determine footswitch functions in Stomp Mode and quick access knob targets, setup the expression pedal parameters, and calibrate the expression pedal.

37 Suggested Setups Here are some common setups to get the most out of Ampero II Stomp. Using with your instrument and amp Plug your instrument into the unit’s input L jack (or L+R if stereo connection is needed), and run a cable (or two) from the output jack(s) to your amplifier(s). If you have one amp, run the cable from the left output. For best results, we recommend not to use AMP and CAB modules. You can add a PRE AMP module if you need more tonal flexibilities.
38 Suggested Setups Connecting pedalboards Set your Ampero II Stomp into your pedalboard, then connect other pedals/controller depending on I/O configurations. When Ampero II Stomp is used as your core gear, if you’re using FX loop jacks, please make sure FX loop related modules/nodes are properly set. Please adjust patch volume properly or volume drop will occur when bypassing/engaging your Ampero II Stomp like a pedal. Please remember bypass mode (DSP/Analog) may alter the tone a lot (e.g.
39 Suggested Setups Connecting your mixer, interface, headphones, and other equipment Connect Ampero II Stomp’s outputs to your mixer or audio interface’s corresponding inputs. We recommend you use balanced connection (TRS cables or TRS to XLR cables are needed) for optimal signal to noise ratio. If you want to send a mono signal out, use Ampero II Stomp’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.
40 Suggested Setups Using the AUX IN line Connect a male-to-male 1/8” stereo cable from your audio source (phone or music player) to Ampero II Stomp’s AUX IN jack. This line will be unaffected by Ampero II Stomp’s internal effects and USB audio. Note: if you are running a mono line out, you will only hear a mono version of your AUX source.
