Ampero mini or Valeton GP 180?
For playing at home—I don't have a band—and using with NAM, which offers better sound quality: the Valeton GP-180 or the Ampero Mini?

Does the HeadRush sound nasal, like it has a stuffy nose?
I’m the person who posted recently asking whether I should get the Ampero II Stomp or the HeadRush Flex Prime.
I was leaning toward the HeadRush, but I recently saw a comment saying that the HeadRush has a “nasal” or “pinched-nose” sound.
I previously used a BOSS GX-10, but I sold it because I didn’t really like its somewhat muffled/dull sound. Another reason was that other multi-effects units had started supporting NAM, while the GX-10 does not.
So now I’m wondering: if the HeadRush also has a somewhat muffled or nasal sound, would the Ampero II Stomp be a better choice for me?
I’ve also heard that the Ampero II Stomp has a relatively weak CPU and can run out of processing power pretty quickly. Is this something that could be improved with future firmware updates, or is it ultimately limited by the hardware?
I’ve heard that the Ampero II has a clearer and more open sound. Would that be a better fit for someone who prefers a clear, detailed digital tone?
If you’ve used either of these units, I’d really appreciate your thoughts and experiences.
Also, if there are any other good multi-effects/modelers available around $600, I’d love to hear your recommendations!

Ampero II Stage + midi + 4CM
Hi everyone. Having an issue when using my fx loop. Did a god bit of googling and haven’t found a solution.
The issue: no fx work after the fx loop block when using crunch channel of amp. All fx work fine on clean and lead channels. Verified they’re all active and all settings are the same on each scene.
My setup: I use the Ampero for multifx and midi control of Peavey XXX channel switching through a voodoo labs control switcher. The Peavey and a couple OD pedals sit in the Ampero FX loop.
What’s weird, if I change scenes using the Ampero software (no midi controls), I can get all fx to function properly, but when changing channels and scenes together with the foot switches, the crunch channel is left without fx after the loop.
Not sure where to check next.

Minimalist setup: How small can a functional hybrid rig get?
Hey guys! I'm currently running a super portable hybrid setup with a Hotone Ampero Mini, M-Vave Chocolate (for MIDI control), and a DigiTech Drop.
It handles home studio work and gigs easily while fitting in a tiny footprint. Are you guys using mini MIDI controllers or compact processors in your rigs? How small have you managed to build your boards?
