How to Import Presets, Tone Catch, NAM & IRs into Ampero II Stage Stomp

Ampero II, Stage & Stomp – Preset Import Guide | Liveplayrock

This guide will walk you through the installation process for the following devices:

  • HOTONE Ampero II

  • HOTONE Ampero II Stage

  • HOTONE Ampero II Stomp

To get started, you will need:

  • Your Hotone Ampero II device.

  • A Windows or macOS computer.

  • The official Ampero II software.

  • Your downloaded Liveplayrock ZIP archive.

  • A USB cable to connect your device to your computer.

Important: Presets, Tone Catch / Sound Clone files, NAM Profiles or IRs are separate files. Loading a preset does not automatically install all the external files it may require. These must be imported and assigned separately.
