Hotone has announced the release of the Pulze Mini, an ultra-portable amp modeling setup designed for guitarists seeking premium tone on the go. This palm-sized device boasts an impressive array of features, including a built-in 2-inch full-range speaker, making it the ultimate practice and performance companion.
Unrivaled Tone in Your Palm
At the heart of the Pulze Mini is Hotone’s advanced CDCM HD (Comprehensive Dynamic Circuit Modeling High Definition) and F.I.R.E. (Field Impulse Response Enhancement) modeling engine.
This powerful technology delivers an astounding 52 amp models and 48 cabinet simulations, including official Celestion IRs, ensuring an authentic and diverse sonic palette. Guitarists can also customize their sound further with 20 slots for user Impulse Responses (IRs).
FX
Beyond its extensive amp and cab simulations, the Pulze Mini offers over 100 built-in effects, providing an unparalleled level of sonic exploration.
These effects cover a broad spectrum, from essential distortion, dynamics, and filters to lush modulation, delay, and reverb. The unit also includes EQ and acoustic simulation effects, catering to a wide range of musical styles.
Intuitive Control and Seamless Workflow
While compact, the Pulze Mini features a vibrant 1.45″ TFT LCD color screen for straightforward navigation and status display, complemented by built-in atmosphere lights. Connectivity is simple with a standard 1/4″ input jack and a dedicated headphone output, perfect for silent practice.
The true power of the Pulze Mini is unleashed through its accompanying Pulze Editor app. This intuitive application provides comprehensive control over the unit’s 191 effect modules, allowing for detailed parameter adjustments and patch editing.
The app features a convenient drag-and-drop effect chain, enabling users to combine up to 7 simultaneous effects for complex and unique sonic textures. With 200 user presets available, guitarists have ample room to craft and store their personalized sounds.
For rhythmic practice and inspiration, the Pulze Mini includes 100 rhythm patterns and a built-in metronome. The vibrant Hotone Community further enhances the user experience, offering a platform to download and share custom presets.
Versatile Connectivity and Extended Playtime
Beyond its primary function as an amp modeler, the Pulze Mini doubles as a 2-in/2-out USB audio interface, supporting a 24-bit / 48kHz recording rate.
This feature is ideal for capturing song ideas, laying down riffs, and experimenting with new sounds within a digital audio workstation (DAW). The unit also supports loopback and reamping, offering even more flexibility for recording and production. Firmware updates are easily managed via the USB-C port.
Battery Life
Designed for ultimate portability, the Pulze Mini features a robust 3900mAh built-in battery, providing approximately 11.5 hours of use with headphones or 5.5 hours of playback at medium volume. This extended battery life makes it an ideal companion for travel, rehearsals, and impromptu jam sessions. Additionally, the Pulze Mini functions as a Bluetooth speaker, allowing users to enjoy their favorite music on the go.
For enhanced live control, the Pulze Control wireless MIDI footswitch (sold separately) offers seamless preset switching, effect toggling, and expression pedal connectivity, empowering guitarists with hands-free operation during performances.
