Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Finished in Vanilla, the Ampero Mini is a compact processor for amp modeling, cabinet simulation and effects. Its 199-effect collection includes more than 100 amp, cabinet and pedal models, and up to nine modules can be active in a signal chain. The 4-inch touchscreen keeps edits on the unit, while USB-C provides audio-interface recording and preset or IR management. It also offers third-party IR loading, 198 presets, a looper, a 100-pattern drum machine and an input for external expression control.
