The companion software offers detailed effect descriptions, intuitive preset editing, and comprehensive preset management, making everything even more accessible. Application Scenarios Using with your instrument and amp Plug your instrument into the unit’s input L jack (or L+R if stereo connection is needed), and run a cable (or two) from the output jack(s) to your amplifier(s). If you have one amp, run the cable from the left output. Connecting to your amp's RETURN or Power Amp (Loudster)/FRFR cabinet INPUT Connect the outputs to your amp’s FX Loop Return input or power amp input. If you have one amp, run the cable from the left output. When using with non-FRFR amps, for best results, turn off the CAB module on Ampero II On-stage dual outputs In this scenario, we recommend to use Y-A/B chain template: -Chain A: Normal output with cab sim, send directly to mixer 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 outputs on mixer. Singer performing with instruments In this scenario, we recommend to use independent effects chains: -Chain A: Processes instrument signal only and send to instrument amps via unbalanced outputs (or mixer/PA depending on your needs) -Chain B: Processes vocal signal and send to mixer/full range speakers via XLR outputs Connecting your mixer, interface, headphones, and other equipment Connect Ampero II’s outputs to your mixer or audio interface’s corresponding inputs. We recommend you use balanced connection for optimal signal to noise ratio. If you want to send a mono signal out, use Ampero II’s left output channel. To prevent damage to your equipment, make sure the mixer or interface channel’s volume is muted before making any connections. Connecting to your computer as an audio interface Connect a USB cable from Ampero II to your computer. For PC systems, you’ll need to set up the driver. Ampero II is plug and play for macOS. Run line out cables to your monitors, or use headphones. Using AUX IN Find an aux cable and connect to Ampero II with your music player. Then you can practice and improvise as much as you want with backing tracks or built-in drum/looper.
