Ampero II Stage owner here. I'm a live looper that performs with an acoustic ukulele with a MiSi Trio Air (undersaddle piezo) active preamp. Been very happy with my A2Stage... but I've always felt that the pitch shift fx could be better and have written to Hotone and posted in their forums about. Pretty awesome they got around to updating the octave FX with Pitch Shift HQ.

I know my use case is pretty niche, but I could not get a clean -2 suboctave tone to get into bass territory for looping. I accepted that good enough was what it was going to be... until now. Might be hard to hear with a cell phone video bit this is a comparison of my previous U-BASS patch using Classic Pitch Shift and my new, improved U-BASS patch with Pitch Shift HQ that turns my ukulele into a bass. Much less artifacts, white noise and muddiness with PSHQ. Bravo Hotone. Ty.

New PSHQ has a clean, defined sound, much less muddiness and noise artifacts. Second Vamp, as in the second progression of bass notes, in this clip is my new patch with PSHQ.

Bad timing with the GCN chemical scare but Strawberry Festival was still a good time. TY for the love Garden Grove! Hope everybody is doing better this week ❤️✌️🤙

TY for the upvotes on our clip last week, OC! 🥰 We're three musicians from different walks of life that met while busking on the mean streets of Old Towne Orange. Now we live jam **Vacation Music for the Soul** together to spread Aloha and positive vibes ❤️✌️🤙

There will be lots of cool music acts at the Garden Grove Strawberry Festival this weekend, and we'll be closing out the fest on the Main Street stage Monday evening from 6-8p. Lawn chairs are a good idea if you'd like to hang with us for some live music therapy. Hope to see ya 😎🤘

Edit: Main Street stage = Strawberry Stage

Edit 2: title should be corrected to Latino as our guitarist is Salvadorean

And they formed a band! See y'all in Garden Grove in a couple weeks. We'll closing out the Strawberry Festival at the Main Street Stage. Oléha! ❤️✌️🤙
