Compact Bluetooth Speaker and Amp Modeling!
5,0 / 5,0 | 
The Pulze Mini from Hotone is an ultra-portable amp modeling setup featuring a built-in 2-inch full-range speaker, designed for guitarists on the go.
Pulze Mini
Hotone has just released the Pulze Mini, and this palm-sized amp and speaker uses their CDCM HD and F.I.R.E. modeling engine. It features 52 amp models with 48 cab simulations, including official Celestion IRs, and has over 100 effects built in. The unit also has 20 slots for user Impulse Responses, so it can be customised to taste.
Colour Screen
It has a built-in 1.45″ TFT LCD colour screen for basic navigation (along with built-in atmosphere lights for status display), a standard 1/4″ jack for the input, and a headphone output jack.
Pulze Editor app
The accompanying Pulze Editor app is used to do the bulk of the parameter control and editing of patches.
This includes editing of the 191 effect modules, which include distortion, dynamics, filters, modulation, delay, reverb, and more. These modules also cover the EQ and acoustic simulation effects and tones.
Drag & Drop
There is a drag-and-drop effect chain with up to 7 simultaneous effects available at any one time. The system offers 200 user presets in total. Allowing players more than enough options to customise the unit and make it their own. It also features 100 rhythm patterns and includes a metronome for practice.
The online Hotone Community can be used to download presets and share any you have created.
USB Audio Interface
It will also act as an audio interface with 2-in/2-out via USB and with a 24-bit / 48kHz recording rate. This could be very useful for getting song ideas down when you want to try out your latest riffs and hear them in a track. This also supports loopback and reamping. The USB-C port is also used for any firmware updates.
Built-in Battery
It has a 3900mAh battery built in, which offers around 11.5 hours of use with headphones or around 5.5 hours of playback at what Hotone calls medium volume. Making this little unit perfect for travelling. Potentially, a very useful tool to keep in your gig bag. It also doubles up as a Bluetooth speaker, if you just want to listen to some music.
Extra Control Options
The Pulze Control wireless MIDI footswitch, which is sold separately, can be used to control the unit whilst you are playing. This can switch presets and turn on/off effects, plus users can plug an expression pedal into this for even more control.
Price & Availability
The Hotone Pulze Mini is available now for £87/€99 at Thomann.
