Hotone AMPERO II Stomp, User Manual

Page: 23 / 102

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.
Patch Tempo And Patch Volume
Slide on the patch tempo bar to adjust patch tempo from
40BPM to 300BPM:
In effects chain menu, slide on the patch volume bar (or use
Main Knob) to adjust patch volume from 0 to 100:
Patch tempo and volume will change depending on patch settings.
Tap Tempo And Tap Divide
If you want a certain effect to be controlled by tap tempo, go into the patch settings, select an effect, then select S8YNC. When
you do this, the time will sync to the tap tempo value.
You can also opt to use tap divide rather than time-based tempo. The default tap divide is set to quarter notes (1/4).
Set the tempo by repeatedly tapping the footswitch. This tempo will apply to the delay time and other effects with adjustable
speed parameters.
Tap divide values in relation to their musical beats are shown below:
Time Value Beats Display
Whole note 4 1/1
Half note 2 1/2
Dotted half note 3 1/2D
Half note triplet 4/3 1/2T
Quarter note (no divide) 1/1 1/4
Dotted quarter note 3/2 1/4D
Quarter note triplet 2/3 1/4T
