Master Tube Design
an ultra light, very compact floor amplifier with integrated foot-
switch, 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 amps
potentiometers and options. When the amp is set on the 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. You can control the amp modes with an
The Stomp-Head is based on a MTD (Master Tube Design) technology. It is our own
groundbreaking technology which allowed us to create powerfull guitar amplifiers in very
compact shape. This technology uses all the significant features of tubes which determine
the 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 our MASTER TUBE based amplifiers are equal to the classic tube amps with the
same power rating.
Guitarist has an access to two channels: CLEAN and LEAD, while CLEAN channel gives
two different sounds: CLEAN or slightly distorted CRUNCH type. CRUNCH can be
smoothly adjusted by a potentiometer GAIN.
Additional using the footswitches you can activate BOOST and MUTE features.
Unit is equipped with power selector that allows to set 60Watt/25Watt in STAGE MODE
and 15Watt/7Watt in STUDIO MODE and it is designed to work with 4, 8, and 16 ohm
cabinets (Power Amp will auto-adjust to speakers impedance)
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 4x12
CELESTION Vintage 30 cabinet. Device is also equipped with a serial effect loop.
The Stomp-Head 3is

The BOOST MODE allows for instant increase of volume level during a
performance. The potentiometer [17] and a foot-switch [24] are designed to
control the BOOST MODE. The BOOST function performs two features at the
same time: it boosts a signal at the input of the preamp, giving extra compression
and raising the volume. Desired volume level may be adjusted by tweaking the
potentiometer. By then pressing the BOOST switch located on the top of the amp,
two different volume levels previously set will be obtained. The BOOST MODE is
quitebeneficialasitheightenstheguitarsoloduringaliveperformances.

NORMAL / MIX-MODE
Each channel is equipped with a regular 4-point equalizer: BASS, MIDDLE,
TREBLE and PRESENCE. The MID-RANGE switch changes the range of
frequency of the MIDDLE potentiometer. This option is very useful in the proper
settingoftheguitar’ssound inanoverallbandmixdependingon the style of music
played and type of guitar used. Additionally, the highest frequency range of the
guitarcanbealteredbytheBRIGHT/DARKswitch.

intheMIX-MODEwherebothchannelsaremixedandusedsimultaneously.
The MIX-MODE option has been designed for musicians who love to experiment
with sound which is the result of blending several channels simultaneously. In this
mode,allcontrollersineverychannelareoperationaland allowtheplayertofreely

POWER BRAKE
The amplifier has two power selector switches: the main power selector and the
STAGE-STUDIO mode selector. There are following power options available:
60W or 25W in STAGE mode
15W or 7W in STUDIO mode
You can connect 4-8-16Ohm speakers to this amplifer. The amplifier
automatically adjusts the operating parameters to the connected column. The
amplifier can also be used without a loudspeaker. If no cable is connected to the
speaker output, then the power amplifier is automatically locked.

1. The graph below shows how the external foot-switch should be connected in
order to control amplifier functionalities. If the external foot switch is connected,
therefor, the internal amp foot-switches become disconnected. Note: external
controller should be implemented with bistable switches type 0FF- [ON].
2. The audio player can be connected using a stereo or mono-jack cable.
The signal of audio player will be heard in the headphones only, not in the
speaker.

EFFECT AND MIXER CONNECTION
Theexternal effects maybeconnectedbetweenboth preamps(CLEAN andLEAD) andthe
MASTER section through the parallel EFFECT LOOP. This type of connection is
recommended when the Volume pedal or Delay, Reverb, Flanger type of effects are used.
When the mixer or the external amplifier is connected, the LINE-OUTPUT with integrated
cabinet simulator must be used. Such would simulate the sound of a 412 Celestion Vintage
30 Cabinet. The cabinet simulator enhances the sound that is sent to the stage monitors as
though it were coming from a stage cabinet. Signal from Line-out can be lead in different
ways:withsimulation,withoutsimulationorbothseeFig.A.
The amplifier is also equipped with headphone output and anAUX input for connecting an
audio player. The signal from theAUX input is only supplied to the headphones bypassing
the poweramp. This allows you to play with a backing track or record and monitor your
signal.
