Ampero Mini is the smallest representative of our Ampero family and offers you uncompromising Ampero sound in an ultra-compact aluminum housing. It has all the essentials of stunning third-party IR supported Ampero effects gear. The integrated main I/O sockets are more than sufficient for everyday use. This, along with the touchscreen and an intuitive interface, offers a smooth, hassle-free experience in a minimized body.
Ampero Mini offers excellent value for money, allowing especially beginners on a small budget who want to experience the Ampero sound, as well as session musicians who require both its ultra-compact size and a professional sound, as well as of course the experienced ones amp-modeler-users, who want the outstanding advantages of the powerful HD+F.I.R.E. Appreciate modeling technology.
This dual-core signal processing platform, whose performance is comparable to the regular Ampero version and which ensures the authentic Ampero signature sound, uses two processors:
● Main Processor – NXP® RT Series A powerful NXP® RT crossover processor is responsible for the audio engine. With a high clock speed, this processor compares very well to the Analog Devices® SHARC® DSP built into regular Ampero devices, making it easier to handle multiple high-quality effects algorithms.
● Co-Processor – NXP® RT Series Like regular Ampero devices, the Ampero Mini features an NXP® RT crossover co-processor that not only helps process audio streams, but also the touchscreen display, USB-I/ O etc. powers other functions.
This technology models each component of the original device and creates a model that tracks the dynamic variations of the instrument’s input signal, maximizing the ability to reproduce the exact sound characteristics of the modeled object and delivering a more dynamic, deeper, deeper sound that amazes.
