HoTone Stage Wow !
Brilliant product. I’ve been looking out for it since launched in October. It doesn’t disappoint. Build quality, user interface, and even better iOS control. No Android app yet but that may follow on

Amazing modeler & clarity
This product fully met my expectations, and I have no regrets about purchasing it. It is suitable for any type of music and will definitely meet your needs. As a metal musician, I found many amp and preamp modelers, as well as high-quality distorted amps, in the Ampero Stage. The best feature is the microphone adjustment when selecting the cabinet option, which makes a significant difference. I am pleased with the sound quality and clarity of this device.

Great product
The only thing I am not happy with is midi documentation!
Missing loads of key data necessary if you want to control changes , etc from a DAW you need to guess the numbers

Powerful Multi-Effect Pedal with Great Sound, but a Few Caveats
The Hotone Ampero II Stage is a very capable multi-effect unit for electric guitar, and overall I’m quite pleased with it.
The sound quality is excellent — the amp sims, effects, and signal chain are all very musical, rich, and usable in both rehearsal and live situations. Whether you’re chasing clean tones, drive, or ambient textures, it holds up really well.
One of the things I like most is the touchscreen. It’s clear, responsive, and makes navigating presets and parameters far more intuitive than scrolling through endless buttons. There’s a huge range of functions and effects available, and putting together tones is genuinely fun rather than a chore.
Using the unit feels satisfying — everything from tone shaping to preset management is smooth, and you can tell it’s been designed with practical use in mind.
That said, there are a couple of caveats:
For a Chinese brand, the price is on the higher side. It’s competitive with some well-established processors from more premium makers, and I understand why some players hesitate because of that.
I’ve also noticed significant heat buildup during use. The unit gets fairly warm, especially after longer playing sessions. It feels like the internal processor is working hard to keep up with everything loaded into it, and I sometimes wonder if that’s a sign the hardware is a bit under-spec’d for the ambitious feature set.
Overall, if you’re after a versatile, great-sounding all-in-one that’s enjoyable to use, the Ampero II Stage delivers a lot — you just have to be okay with the price point and the warmth it runs at during operation.

The new star of the guitar world
Thank you Thomann for the fast shipping.
The sound quality is much higher than I expected.
You can capture analog tones. Drive and effects are very lively and warm.
For those who want to buy multi effect, it is preferred due to its price, performance and functionality. Youtube birçok inceleme videosu inceledim ve sonunda hotone karar verdim. Bu kararımın doğru olduğunu evde test edince gördüm. Tek bir aletle her tarzda iş yapabilirsiniz. Her gitariste bir tane Ampero alması gerekiyor.

Enjoy this modeller so far
Pros: Sounds great. Hi class UI/UX. Small footprint. Low power consumption
Cons: If pitch shifting is a must - go search elsewhere.

Excellent build quality and great sound! The tone capture works perfectly and is on par with Tonex in terms of sound. An excellent processor for its price!
