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 Do not cover the vent holes!
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.
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.

OPIS FUNKCJI
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.
The Stomp−Head 1.CL is an analog guitar amplifier design with class D power amp and SMPS (Switched−
Mode Power Supply).
These features determine extreme compact dimensions. The amp features two channels: CLEAN & LEAD
which are accessible by the foot switch mounted on the top of the chassis.
The dynamics, compression and nature of the distortion are exactly the same as in classic tube amps.
To obtain required parameters, the amplifier is driven by a much higher rated power amp. Even though
the power of the amplifier is set at 50Watts RMS, in reality the real power of the amp is 100 Watts.
The SH 1.CL is also equipped with a power selector allowing the player to use the amp in two different
power ratings of 50 and 25Watt RMS. It is also designed to auto adjust itself to different speakers
impedance. The amp handles the speakers with 4, 8, and 16 Ohm of impedance.
The Stomp−Head can also be used as a guitar preamp. LINE OUT with a Speaker Cabinet Simulation
permits the player to connect preamps independently to a mixer or an external power amp. The Speaker
Cabinet Simulation imitates the sound of the CELESTION Vintage 30 cabinet. The amp is also equipped with
a serial EFFECT LOOP.
