Advanced USB Audio Interface Function Guide
Next we’ll show you some advanced tricks when using your Ampero II Stomp as a USB audio interface.
Example 1: Monitoring Different Outputs
You can use Ampero II Stomp’s output/phones jacks and FX loop send jack for monitoring different signal sources.
In this example, a guitar is connected to unit’s left input, and a bass is connected to the right input. The two instruments will be
recorded simultaneously with different effects:
(1) Connect a pair of headphones to phones jack, connect a pair of monitor amps to FX loop send jack via a Y cable (unbalanced
connection);
(2) Launch a DAW and create two mono audio tracks. Set track 1’s input to USB Audio Input 1, output to USB Audio Output 1/2;
set track 2’s input to USB Audio Input 3, output to USB Audio Output 3/4. Then turn on monitor switches on both tracks;
(3) On your Ampero II Stomp, enter USB Audio menu and set OUTPUT SOURCE to USB OUT 1/2, then set FX SND SOURCE to
USB OUT 3/4;
(4) Enter I/O menu, set both OUTPUT SOURCE and FX SND SOURCE to USB Only;
(5) In the current patch, set the chain A/B to parallel and use mono effects only (e.g. amps and cabs);
(6) Set chain A’s input source to Input L and output to output jacks;
(7) Set chain B’s input source to Input R and output to FX loop send jack;
(8) You’ll hear guitar signal in headphones and bass signal in monitor amps if everything is set. Then record and get individual
guitar and bass tracks.
Example 2: Record Dry/Wet Tracks Simultaneously or Record Dry, Monitor Wet
You can use Ampero II Stomp’s multiple USB audio I/Os for recording multiple dry/wet tracks with DAW.
In this example, all global settings are set to default, factory patch P01-1 Ampero Strikes! is loaded:
(1) Connect a pair of headphones to phones jack and connect a guitar to unit’s input L channel;
(2) Launch a DAW and create two audio tracks. Set track 1’s input to USB Audio Input 1/2, output to USB Audio Output 1/2; set
track 2’s input to USB Audio Input 7, output to USB Audio Output 1/2. Then keep monitor switches off on both tracks;
(3) Still in DAW, set the two tracks can be recorded at the same time;
(4) Record both tracks. Then you get a stereo guitar track with effects and a mono dry guitar track.
If no wet signal is needed, in step (2) you only need to create one audio track and set track input to USB Audio Input 7 (or 7/8
depending on your needs).
