Stage is not flexible at all

i have a pod go and ill describe how i use it:

SNAPSHOTS 1-4 are my gain stages, basically, the foundation

then i have 4 other stomps which i can use for effects, such as:

delay

mod

tremolo

pitch

on top of that, i use my exp pedal to control the amount of reverb.

ALL OF THAT IN ONE PRESET

the key thing here is that i can change betwen snapshots(scenes) and the on/off state of my stomp fx persist through them, so basicallly my snapshots are foundations which i can then dynamically add or remove effects.

this creates soemthing like 64 different sound combinations in one preset, its amazing.

however im missing dual amps on the pod go, which made me wanna look at the ampero, but, the ampero jas such limited control with scenes and stomps... if i have scene 1, scene 2 and a stomp, if i turn on the stomp on scene 2 and switch to scene 1, that will turn off my stomp automatically, which sucks a lot and to me makes scenes completely useless

what are the workarounds for this issue in the ampero? im really liking the sounds and the features of it but idk if i can adapt to the huge lack of flexibility in the unit

Stomp mini pedal board - v3

Just posting v3 of my mini pedalboard that I posted here before.

Since the last version, I've added a Digitech Drop. A Mosky ISO-6 power supply already found its way underneath the board in the previous iteration.

The whole idea behind this board is that it fits in my bike's side bag, which it does.

Please help. Thanks!

New Pitch Shift HQ in action

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.

Ampero II Stomp Setup

Hi All,

I'm planning to build an Ampero II Stomp with Footswitch+ and Expression Pedal. However, the concern is that the Ampero II Stomp only has 1 Exp/Ctl Input.

Would it work if I add a Footswitch to Midi Converter so that all of the Footswitch can be utilized? I'm planning to buy a DOREMIDI MPC 10 just to Connect my Footswitch and the Expression Ped Footswitch into it.
