Application Scenarios

Connecting to the input of an amplifier

Connect the Output of Ampero II Stage with the Input of the amp. You can use additional external controllers, or other effect pedals in the FX loop of Ampero II Stage if needed.

Connect to the FX Loop Return of amps or the Input of pure post-stage power amps (e.g. Loudster)

When connect to power amps, you can adjust the parameters of Ampero II Stage just like of a real amp. When connect to FX Loop Return jack of certain guitar amps, you will get maximum enjoyment by using the specially designed PRE AMP modules in Ampero II Stage.

On-stage dual outputs

Recommend to use Y-A/B chain template: Chain A: Normal output with cab sim, send directly to mixing desk via XLR outputs; Chain B: Without cab sim, send to stage instrument amps via unbalanced outputs for monitoring; In this case, you can also pick up instrument amplifiers and mix them with Chain A outpus on mixing desk.

Singer performing with instruments

Use independent effects chains: Chain A processes instrument signal only and send to instrument amps via unbalanced outputs; Chain B processes vocal signal and send to mixing desk/full range speakers via XLR outputs.

Connect to full-range audio devices such as mixing consoles, audio interfaces and headphones

Based on your needs, the ideal tones will be presented as pleased when you practice at home or perform in a live gig.

Connect to your desktop/laptop as an audio interface

Connect the USB jack to your computer and connect it with monitors, and don’t forget the software and driver settings. Now, your own mini music studio is complete.

Practicing with Aux In Jack/Bluetooth audio

Find an aux cable and connect to Ampero II Stage with your music player. You can also pair and play music via Bluetooth connection. Then you can practice and improvise as much as you want with backing tracks or built-in drum/looper.
