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.

Reverb Pedals

Reverb creates the dense pattern of reflections heard after sound enters a physical or imagined space. Room, hall, plate and spring models differ in reflection density, frequency decay and modulation, while ambient algorithms extend or transform the tail beyond natural acoustics. Decay, pre-delay, damping, diffusion and wet/dry balance define the apparent size, surface and distance of that space.

MIDI

Sends, receives or responds to Musical Instrument Digital Interface messages rather than carrying the instrument audio itself. Program changes recall presets, continuous controllers move parameters, and MIDI clock or transport messages synchronise timing between devices.
