1/6
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.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding amp, cabinet and effect processing to a compact pedalboard or desktop setup.
- Saving personalized setups across the 99 user-preset locations.
- Developing song ideas with the looper, expression input and onboard rhythm patterns.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Rigs needing more than one 1/4-inch instrument input.
- Looping beyond 100 seconds in mono or 50 seconds in stereo.
