The Taurus Stomp−Head
The Stomp−Head 4.SL is
it is a revolution guitar amplifier. Until today, guitarists could only choose between two types of
amplifiers: Heads and Combos. Now, we introduce a new solution called Stomp−Head.
an ultra light, very compact floor amplifier with integrated foot−switch, designed to be set on the pedal
board, along with effects or, placed directly on the stage floor. It greatly benefits the player with immediate access to all amps
potentiometers and options. When the amp is set on the pedal board only one wire (speaker wire) is needed to setup the guitar sound
on stage. This amplifier can also be placed on a top of a cabinet like a regular head. You can control the amp modes with an external
controler or simple footswitch thanks to external controler socket.
The Taurus Stomp−Head is an analog guitar amplifier based on tube technology which shapes sound in both preamp and power amp
sections. The power amp is a hybrid build of transistors and tubes. The tubes are responsible for the dynamic and overall sound of the
amplifier's output. All unwanted characteristics of the transistors are eliminated in order to preserve the true sound off the tube amp.
Its details were carefully engineered and crafted to ensure the purest tube sound of the amplifier with the transformer output.
Dynamic, compression and distortion characteristics are the same as in classical, high end tube amps. The sound is clean, punchy and
saturated.
The amplifier features two (2) channels: Clean/Lead & Master section. Each channel can be independently selected by built−in foot
switch. The sound of both channels is controlled through a three−point equalizer and volume potentiometers. While using the CLEAN
channel, the over−driven CRUNCH sound can be selected via the food−switch and fluidly adjusted by potentiometer. The LEAD channel
uses specially designed DRIVE circuitry to enrich harmonics and make the instrument's sound characteristics even more vivid. This
setup provides three different sounds under the player foot. The MASTER VOLUME and BOOST knobs shared by both channels can be
found in the MASTER output section. The BOOST function allows a guitarist to mix his own stage sound. By pressing one of three
switches on the top of the amp , obtain the two volume levels previously adjusted for chords or solos.
The Stomp−Head amplifier is also equipped with a serial effect loop. The LINE OUT with a speaker cabinet simulator (imitates the
sound of the 4x12 CELESTION Vintage 30 cabinet) allows the connection of the amplifier to a mixer or an external power amp.
Another special feature of the Stomp−Head is its power reduction switch which enables musicians to choose between a 70 or 40 Watts
of power as well as a specially designed circuit which reduce the loudness of the amplifier while the full force of power stage is used.
This function allows to use the amplifier at home or in studio on low level of loudness with the sound of fully cranked amp. The
amplifier has the ability to use guitar cabinets with an impedance at 4, 8 and 16 Ohm. The speaker impedance selector is placed on
the back of the amplifier.

EXTERNAL DEVICES CONNECTION
Guitar DSP
External devices such as a preamp or a guitar DSP can be connected to the Stomp Head.
Both devices may be set−up by two different method.
1. To the amp input in this configuration all potentiometers and foot−switches will be active.
2. Directly to the power amp, by−passing the pre−amp. In this configuration, the OUTPUT of
DSP or external PRE−AMP must be connected to the effect loop RETURN. Consequently, the
Stomp− Head’s pre−amp stays disconnected and only the BOOST foot−switch remains active.
This set−up is recommended when only the Stomp Head's power amp is needed.
