Product Description

Here's what Hotone say about the Ampero Control Footswitch

Ampero Control is a compact, sturdy, fully programmable Bluetooth MIDI controller, that gives musicians flexible MIDI-based control via MIDI port, USB jack and Bluetooth. It features 4 footswitches, with each footswitch, you can send up to 16 different MIDI messages by different actions. You can also attach expression pedals or more footswitches to your Ampero Control depending on your needs. Furthermore, a dedicated smart mobile app lets you set every detail of your Ampero Control without any confusion.

You MIDI Commander

Ampero Control supports a wide range of MIDI messages including PC, CC, Note On/Off, and others via MIDI, USB, and Bluetooth. With this you can switch presets, turn effects on/off on your pedals/multi-FXs, play/stop loops in your DAW, or even make a cool pad sound while playing guitar!

Complex Controls with Simple Tap Action

With Ampero Control you can assign up to 16 different MIDI messages (or 32 messages divided into two groups) per footswitch with different press/hold actions. This makes Ampero Control very flexible and enjoyable to use.

Straight Forward mobile App (Android & iOS)

Ampero Control comes with a dedicated mobile app with a straight forward, user-friendly interface, which makes editing MIDI messages a walk in the park. In the app there are several templates for you to control essential and advanced functions of many mainstream audio devices, and you can also create your own templates.

Expandable To Meet Your Needs

Ampero Control offers two TRS jacks that can connect momentary footswitches or expression pedals. Plug in your controller, do a quick setup in the App, and you get extended MIDI footswitches, bank -/+ switchers, a continuous controller – anything you want.

Great product and just what I needed to externally switch between presets on a Wampler Terraform. Only uses 2 on the 99(!) banks, but makes a huge difference. App is very intuitive and easy to use to configure the messages being sent. Looks really smart, and seems well built. Would have loved it if a both press and hold function could have been assigned to a single switch. The only reason for 4 stars rather than 5 is an inability to send a sequence of incremental PC messages which is the only function I've seen on other devices that this can't seem to do (which would have given the option of next preset/previous preset and also a tap tempo, but leave a switch free for other pedals. Will also be experimenting with using some of the spare banks via USB and/or Bluetooth to switch effects and sounds in Amplitube and possibly DAW. Very please with it.

Five stars because it's such good value for money. Seems rugged enough for gigging, all metal construction. Works well after downloading phone app and firmware update from Hotone website. Worked with my homemade expression pedal. Incorporated into my MIDI Guitar 2 laptop app. Only downer is the tiny 3-digit display, like it's 1980!

It doesn’t make sounds! I have had it a week, so how can I rate Durability? These click lists are mostly pointless!

I was tired of my bluetooth pedal that loses connection with my Macbook Pro every 5/10 minutes. So after some googling, I found this pedal. And seriously... I've should have bought this ages ago! You can configure so many things(PC, CC, note sends) on the pedal with a pretty usefull app (you have to get used to the interface and make sure you use the template system - very useful!) I've connected it with an USB cable to my mioXM midi interface and just works out of the box. Optionally I could use a MIDI DIN cable, but then I need to provide it with the provided power adapter. USB provide power as well. The pedal feels very sturdy and well build. The bluetooth connection with the phone/app is quickly made and works every time. Make sure to save your settings to the pedal once in a while when programming the pedal. Just for reference: I use the pedal to send out program changes to the BandHelper app to change my patches on both of my keyboards. Very handy to keep my hands on the keys while playing medley's. In short: this is a solid product with lots of features! Just a remark (should have know this): you are receiving an UK power plug with this product. No big deal for me since I use the USB cable which delivers the power to the pedal anyway. But make sure to get the proper power supply (which is described in the specifications). I guess it's a standard guitar pedal power supply plug (I'm not a guitarist so I'm not sure).

Nice little footswitch, easy to use and easy to programme through the Ampero Control app (appears to be iOS only) with lots of templates already available.

Really nice it does almost everything that you could ask from a midi footcontroller! The only pity is the app that is terrible!! Also they could have added some coloured led to know what a pedal is doing
