MANUAL
PRECAUTIONS
Amplifier produces high volume levels. Staying in places of high volume levels could cause
permanent hearing loss.
Do not use the amplifier in humid and dusty places.
Do not operate the amplifier through the unearthed socket.
Do not leave the amplifier in the vicinity of children.
Do not use the amplifier with broken power outlet or improper power cord.
Do not install nor use the amplifier near any heat sources, in case of overheating the
amplifier turns off lights LED "32"
In order to ensure proper air circulation, do not block any of the ventilation openings.
Never put any liquid containers near the amplifier.
In case of any objects or liquid access inside the amplifier, urgently switch the apparatus off
and unplug the power supply cord.
Protect the amplifier from any strikes.
Preotect the speaker cable against to short−circuit to the chassis and other connectors of
the amp.
ATTENTION: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not remove the back cover of the
amplifier. Inside parts can be repaired only by qualified service personnel.
WARNING: To prevent the risk of electrical shock do not expose this appliance to moisture,
rain or any liquid.
. Do not cover the vent holes!
TUBES
Optimal operating parameters of tube 12AX7 were set by manufacturer. It is not recommended to
replace operational tube. Only broken tube should be replaced with new ones.

FRONT AND REAR PANEL
The Stomp−Head is an ultralight, very compact floor amplifier with integrated footswitch, 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 amp’s potentiometers and options. When the amp is set on a 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.
is a hybrid amplifier, where "Master TUBE system" controls the power amp. All the
properties of transistors which could have negative impact on the sound are eliminated. We took care of all
the details that are the essence of the sound of classic amplifiers with transformer output. The dynamics,
character of compression and voicing of the distortion are the same as in conventional tube amplifiers.

Guitarist has an access to two channels: CLEAN and LEAD. The CLEAN channel gives two different sounds:
CLEAN or slightly dirty CRUNCH type. CRUNCH can be smoothly adjusted by a potentiometer.
Stomp−Head amplifier is also equipped with a serial effect loop.
LINE OUT with a speaker cabinet simulation allows the connection of the amplifier to a mixer or an external
power amp. LINE OUT with signal simulation of 4x12 CELESTION Vintage 30 cabinet sound.
The amplifier is designed to work with 4, 8, and 16 ohm cabinets (automatic adjustment of power to speakers
impedance)
Two versions of the amp are available: and
HIGH GAIN
The amp is designed with two footswitches installed on the chassis.
The first one allows quick channel switching, while the second mutes the amp. CLEAN and LEAD channel can be
also selected by external controller.
