Specification

Thank you for trust and choosing our amplifier.

In 2011, Taurus was the first that introduce to the amp's world a new type of a professional guitar 
amplifier designed in a compact shape, especially dedicated for pedalboards.
Since then, eight different models of Stomp-Head have been produced under Taurus logo.
In the case of SH-8 our goal was to design an amplifier that has all features of tube amplifiers, very 
functional and unlike classic amplifiers very light and as small as possible.

The SH8.Clean was designed for guitarists who prefer a transparent amplifier that faithfully 
reproduces the sound of the instrument.
It is an amplifier that does not impose its own character, it can be used in any musical style using 
your own ideas for shaping the sound using any effects and sound processors.
The amplifier has only the necessary options that allow you to create your own sound. 

Usable amp's power is 50 Watts, while the actual power of the power amp and power supply is 130 
Watts.  Preservation of greatest possible sound's headroom is one of the main reasons of the 
difference between usable and actual power of the amp. Speakers with different resistance of 4, 8 or 
16 ohms  can be connected. The adjustment of the amplifier power to the speaker resistance is 
automatic. No matter which resistance is used, the amp always play with full power of 50 Watts.

The amplifier is equipped with a unique feature that allows to connect both a guitar cabinet and a full-
range PA or Hi-Fi cabinet. The analog module with the SPEAKER CABINET SELECTOR switch  is 
used for this purpose.

SH8.Clean can be used in various configurations:

- as a classic amplifier. There are 2 power levels to choose from: 25W and 50W.
- as a preamp connected directly to the mixer and PA system using the built-in speaker cabinet 
simulation.
The amplifier can be used without connecting a speaker. If a speaker cabinet is not connected, the 
power stage of the amp is not active.
