Customizing Your Ampero II Stomp
Example 3: Reamping or Tone Creation With Dry Tracks
You can route Ampero II Stomp’s USB audio outputs to effects chains for reamping.
In this example, all global settings are set to default, and several guitar/bass dry DI tracks are needed:
(1) On your Ampero II Stomp, create a new patch and use chain A only. Set input node Source to USB OUT 3/4, INPUT CH to L, and
keep other parameters as default;
(2) Add a AMP and a CAB module in AMP-CAB order;
(3) Launch a DAW and create two audio tracks. Set track 1’s input to None, output to USB Audio Output 3/4; set track 2’s input to
USB Audio Input 1, output to USB Audio Output 1/2. Then keep monitor switches off on both tracks;
(4) Still in DAW, set only track 2 can be recorded, and import a dry track (Audio Clip A) to track 1;
(5) Connect a pair of headphones to phones jack or a pair of monitor amps to output L/R jacks (balanced connection);
(6) In DAW, start playback and loop the dry track in track 1, you’ll hear the Audio Clip A with effects (depending on AMP and CAB
settings);
(7) Adjust AMP and CAB parameters;
(8) Turn off looping switch in DAW. Record on track 2 with track 1 playing simultaneously. Then you get a wet track as you’ve
heard in step (6) (7);
(9) Repeat the steps above to get different reamped tracks.
For tone creation, you only need to execute steps (1) to (7).
