HOTONE

Hotone Audio is based in Changsha, Hunan, China, and makes compact pedals, expression and wah tools, multi-effects processors and amp-modelling products. Soul Press combines volume, expression and wah functions in one enclosure, while the Ampero family uses Hotone’s CDCM HD and F.I.R.E. modelling platform. JustPedals listings include Ampero II, Ampero II Stage and Ampero II Stomp, alongside Soul Press II. The range moves from compact performance controls to full digital rigs, so compare the exact Ampero model’s DSP platform, footswitches and signal routing. Changsha is the company address shown by Hotone, not a blanket manufacturing claim.
