Hotone Ampero Control — Compact Bluetooth MIDI Controller for the Modern Pedalboard

The Hotone Ampero Control is a compact, fully programmable Bluetooth MIDI controller designed to give musicians flexible hands-free command over multi-effects, amps, and software. It routes MIDI through a 5-pin DIN port, a USB jack, and Bluetooth, so a single unit can replace several dedicated footswitches on the board. The Hotone Ampero Control is the right choice for players who need deep preset and effects control without sacrificing pedalboard real estate.

What Sets the Ampero Control Apart

Unlike most compact footswitches that only send a single Program Change per button, this controller lets each of its four footswitches fire up to 16 different MIDI messages (or 32 split across A/B groups) through different press and hold actions. A dedicated mobile app with built-in templates for mainstream devices turns deep MIDI programming into a guided, visual workflow rather than a manual dive.

MIDI Routing and Connectivity — Every Cable Covered

Three independent MIDI paths mean the controller can talk to hardware and software at the same time without extra adapters or splitters. Routing flexibility is what makes a small controller feel like a full MIDI command center on stage.

• Type: MIDI Control — programmable Bluetooth MIDI controller for multi-effects, amps, and DAWs
• MIDI Ports: 5-pin DIN MIDI IN/OUT/THRU, USB MIDI, Bluetooth MIDI — three independent paths to hardware and software
• Bluetooth Range: ≤ 5 m — reliable wireless pairing with phones, tablets, and laptops

Footswitches and Banks — Deep Control in a Small Footprint

Four metal footswitches backed by 100 banks give a working musician far more preset depth than typical compact controllers, while keeping the physical footprint small enough for tight boards. The deeper the bank memory, the fewer tap-dances needed during a set.

• Footswitches: 4 programmable footswitches — each fires up to 16 MIDI messages via press, hold, toggle, or momentary actions
• Banks: 100 banks — each holds 4 footswitch settings plus 2 CTRL/EXP jack settings
• External Control: 2 CTRL/EXP TRS jacks — connect momentary footswitches or expression pedals (max. 10 kΩ pot)

Power, Build, and Dimensions — Stage-Ready Hardware

A wide input voltage range plus USB bus power means the controller fits any rig, from a fly rig running on a power bank to a fully isolated pedalboard. Compact dimensions and a sub-half-kilo weight keep it friendly to crowded boards.

• Power Requirement: 9–18 V DC center negative or 5 V USB bus power — flexible supply for studio and stage
• Current Consumption: max. 100 mA — light draw that plays nicely with isolated power supplies
• Dimensions: 258.5 mm (W) × 55.5 mm (D) × 49 mm (H) — slim profile that slots under most pedalboard tiers
• Weight: 440 g — light enough to leave permanently mounted on a touring board

Who Is It For

The Hotone Ampero Control is the right choice for guitarists, bassists, and keyboardists running multi-effects processors, amp modelers, or hybrid rigs who need deep preset and effects switching from a compact unit. It also suits producers and live performers who want to start, stop, and arm loops in a DAW from the floor without touching a mouse. Players already invested in Hotone's Ampero family — Ampero, Ampero Press, Ampero Switch, and VStomp Amp — get a tightly integrated control surface, while users of any MIDI-equipped pedal, synth, drum machine, or stage light can map it through the dedicated app.
