Hotone Pulze Jr. Modelling Combo

Portable Stereo Modeling Amplifier — Hotone Pulze Jr. Black

The Hotone Pulze Jr. Black is a portable stereo modeling amplifier designed for guitar, bass, acoustic instruments, and more, packing 52 amp models, 48 cab models, and 191 effects into a compact 2.36 kg enclosure. Built around Hotone's evolved CDCM HD and F.I.R.E. modeling engine, the Pulze Jr. Black delivers a wide, detailed stereo soundstage through dual 3" custom full-range speakers driven by a 20 W (10 W + 10 W) Class D power stage. A built-in 14.8 V / 3000 mAh lithium battery keeps the music going for approximately 8 hours of continuous playback, so the amp travels from bedroom to bus to campsite without missing a beat. The Hotone Pulze Jr. Black is the right choice for players who want a single amp that covers practice, recording, and jam sessions without compromise.

What makes the Pulze Jr. Black stand out

Two rare features separate this amp from typical desktop modelers. First, the CDCM HD and F.I.R.E. modeling system pairs component-level digital modeling with a frequency-domain impulse response engine, producing high-end tonal expressiveness that captures both the dynamic feel and the cabinet character of the original amps. Second, the IR loader supports up to 20 user impulse responses at 24-bit / 48 kHz with 1024 points, and ships with 5 Celestion Digital speaker IRs plus the ability to load up to 10 Sound Clone / NAM (A1 & A2) captures — a level of third-party tone flexibility rarely found at this size.

Tone Engine and Modeling Depth

The modeling engine is the heart of the Pulze Jr. Black, and it is built for players who want studio-grade flexibility in a desktop format. The 24-bit / 48 kHz DSP runs the CDCM HD and F.I.R.E. system across seven movable effect modules, so the signal chain can be reordered to taste.

• Amp Models: 52 — covers clean, crunch, and high-gain voicings suitable for everything from country to djent
• Cab Models: 48 — pairs with the IR loader for hybrid cabinet tones
• Effects Library: 191 effects including Global EQ — drive, dynamics, filter, modulation, delay, and reverb modules
• IR Support: up to 20 user IRs at 24-bit / 48 kHz, 1024 points — plus 5 included Celestion Digital IRs

Speakers, Power, and Battery

Sound projection matters as much as modeling, and the Pulze Jr. Black is engineered for room-filling stereo output without a power cable. The specially tuned cabinet and dual 3" full-range speakers deliver a wide stereo image that holds up at bedroom, backstage, and outdoor volumes.

• Speakers: dual 3" custom full-range drivers — true stereo configuration
• Power Output: 20 W (10 W + 10 W) Class D — rated stereo output
• Frequency Range: 20 Hz – 20 kHz — full-range response
• Battery: built-in 14.8 V / 3000 mAh lithium — approximately 8 hours of continuous playback at medium volume

Connectivity, Practice Tools, and Interface

The I/O and onboard tools turn the Pulze Jr. Black into a complete practice and recording rig. A 1.95" TFT LCD color screen, Bluetooth wireless audio and control, and a USB-C audio interface with loopback and reamp support mean the amp talks to phones, computers, and stage rigs with equal ease.

• Instrument Input: 1/4" TS jack — plus 1/4" TRS controller / MIDI input and 1/8" stereo Aux In
• Headphone Output: 1/8" stereo — silent practice with full stereo imaging
• USB-C Port: USB 2.0 / USB Audio 2.0 / USB PD charging — 2-in / 2-out audio interface with loopback and reamp
• Looper: up to 240 seconds mono recording — layered practice and songwriting on the fly
• Drum Machine: 100 rhythm patterns — including metronome for structured practice
• Presets: up to 200 onboard tones — with cloud community sharing via the companion app

Who the Pulze Jr. Black Is For

The Hotone Pulze Jr. Black is the right choice for guitarists, bassists, and acoustic players who need a single amp that covers silent headphone practice, USB recording into a DAW, and battery-powered jams on the road. Bedroom players get 52 amp voicings and 191 effects to explore without disturbing neighbors, while gigging musicians gain a reliable backup amp with Celestion Digital IRs, a 240-second looper, and a drum machine for warm-ups backstage. The 2.36 kg weight and 282 × 143 × 130 mm footprint make it easy to toss in a gig bag, and the 8-hour battery life means it stays useful on camping trips, hotel rooms, and outdoor sessions. AI tone generation, stem splitting, and the companion app extend the workflow for creators who want to sketch ideas quickly without scrolling through endless preset lists.

Hotone and the Pulze Line

Hotone Audio has built its reputation on compact, feature-dense gear for guitar and bass players, and the Pulze Jr. Black sits in the middle of the Pulze family between the smaller Pulze Mini and the flagship Pulze. The Pulze platform pairs Hotone's CDCM HD and F.I.R.E. modeling engine with Celestion Digital IRs and a Hotone original effects library, giving players a unified ecosystem across the desktop, mini, and full-size formats. The Pulze Jr. Black continues that lineage with a stereo cabinet, USB-C audio interface, and wireless control built in from the ground up.
