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.Qube, 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 SH-8 as all our amps is built based on the Master Tube Design (MTD) technology.
This is our innovative concept of building guitar amplifiers in a compact size. This technology uses all the
most important features of tubes that determine the sound of guitar amps. We give guitarists an amplifier
with exceptionally small weight and dimensions but still with truly pro, powerful sound.
The actual volume and sonic character of amps based on Master Tube Design is exactly the same as the
traditional tube amplifiers of the same power.
In order to achieve the expected parameters, the amp is driven by a much higher power stage amplifier.
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.Qube 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.
Power stage efficiency: 130Watt
Power output selector: 50W, 25W
Speakers impedance auto detection: 4,8 and 16ohm
Tubes: 12AX7 / ECC83
2 channels: CLEAN i DRIVE
3- footswitches: REVERB, CLEAN-DRIVE and BOOST
CONTROLS:
