Until today, guitarists could only choose between two types of amplifiers: heads and combos. Now, we are introducing a completely new breed: The Stomp-Head.
The SH-5 .CE is an extremely light and small but still powerful and great sounding guitar amplifier. The amplifier can be placed either on a stage floor just beside the effects, in a traditional way as a head amp, on the top of the speaker cabinet, or set up on an effect board. It features 5 built-in foot switches enabling control all functions while in use. When the amp is positioned as a "Head", in order to control all it's function an external foot controller can also be connected.
Fantastic effect !!!
I really love how cleverly Taurus designed this awesome pedal. I always want to have that fusion of spacious reverb with a hint of delay for lead breaks, but this thing can literally do everything from slap back delay to some wacky ambient stuff. The best thing about it is the fact that you can blend both reverb and delay which allows you to create some really original sounds. Works great in a loop and in front of the amp with other pedals. Just quality stuff built to last !!!

Excellent Amp !!!
Thanks to courtesy of Taurus Amplification UK I had the opportunity to test this product on the road lately. I used this amplifier at concerts in Germany and UK , so I had to transport it somehow and here the concept of stomp head proved itself in practice 100% !!! I literally packed the amplifier into my backpack and practically did not have any problem traveling either in the air or on the ground!!! This amplifier has everything a contemporary guitarist needs. Stomp head is equipped with 3 channels...beautiful Fender - ish sort of clean tone with lovely break up, the crunch and high gain channel has very selective overdriven sound with no fizzy drama like some of the top leading brands would voice their gear. This product has massive range of EQ for each individual channel making it very versatile to cover any style. You can nail any desired guitar tone with it . Cleverly designed amp that not only features Boost & Mute but it can automatically recognize speaker resistance, with fantastic sound and built quality this amp can compete with traditional amps. Great alternative for working musicians !!!

Tube Amp Stomp-Head 5 CE 90Watt
Heavy duty bass amp
I bought this amp during promo, pretty nice deal. I was looking for something lightweight with tons of power.
500 Watt, 2 preamps, EFX Loop, 3 band EQ control and half weight of a classic tube bass amp, you can't go wrong with that.

Portable but very versatile
Excellent and very handy amplifier.
It offer all if not more, what is needed for modern touring guitarist in portable and lightweight format. Three great sounding, individually controlled channels, build in volume boost to spice up those soloswhen you need to be louder, and handy built in on board noise gate. This together with automatically recognised speaker resistance and weight around 2.5 kg is unbeatable amp. Did I mentioned that is has valve as well? Great and very reliable product! Thinking of getting another one ;)

New definition of guitar amps
Make it sound better
Each channel represents different sound characteristics which give a great freedom in obtaining a desired sound’s texture of the instrument. The amp is designed to produce a wide arrey of different sounds. From a classic, clean jazzy sound throughout modern DRIVE, up to heavy saturated HIGH GAIN like distortion.
Other than a regular three point EQ (BASS, MIDDLE, TREBLE) each channel is equipped with MID/RANGE switches which are designed to change the range of the MIDDLE frequencies. This option is very useful in proper setting of the guitar’s sound in a bands overall mix depending on the style of music played and type of guitar used. Additionally the highest frequency range of the guitar can be altered by the BRIGHT/DARK switch.
Stomp-Head can be used also as a guitar preamp without connecting speaker cabinet. LINE OUT with a speaker cabinet simulation allows the connection of the amplifier to a mixer or an external power amp. LINE OUT signal simulates the sound of the CELESTION Vintage 30 cabinet. Device is also equipped with a serial effect loop.
Master Tube Design
The SH5 design is based on a MTD (Master Tube Design) technology. It is our own groundbreaking technology which permits us to create powerful guitar amplifiers in very compact shape. This technology uses all the significant features of tubes which determine the warm, classic sound of guitar amps. We offer players a fully analog amplifier with extremely light weight, very compact dimensions and powerful sound. The sound characteristics and power of amplifiers based on our MTD technology are equal to the classic tube amps with the same power rating.
