Thank you for your trust and for selecting Taurus guitar amplifier.
Taurus is made by musicians for musicians. It's been our philosophy to provide you with
the best possible quality, fully professional, superior musical equipment.
While designing this device we've taken in consideration that it requires more than just
selecting the correct parameters, best components and hand crafting to achieve the
perfect balance between technology and sound.
Our very close collaboration with musicians has helped us to design and manufacture
high quality equipment which will exceed your expectations and needs.
We at Taurus, extend our gratitude and wish you great musical experience, sonic
adventures and explorations with our gear which will become your faithful companion!
is a guitar amplifier based on Master Tube Design technology.
It is our own groundbreaking technology which permits us to create powerful guitar
amplifiers in very compact shapes. This technology uses all the significant features of
tubes which determine the warm, classic sound of guitar amps. We offer players an
amplifier with extremely light weight, very compact dimensions and powerful sound. The
sound characteristics and power of the amplifiers based on our MTD technology are
equal to the classic tube amps with the same power rating.
The guitarist has an access to two channels (CLEAN and LEAD) chosen with manual
selector or footswitch. CLEAN channel gives a choice of two different sounds: CLEAN or
slightly distorted CRUNCH which can be smoothly adjusted by a GAIN potentiometer
Two additional foot switches are assigned to control BOOST and MUTE functions.
V2 Claccic is equipped with power selector that allows to set 90Watt or 40Watt in STAGE
MODE and 20Watt or 12Watt in STUDIO MODE. The amp is designed to work with 4, 8,
and 16 ohm cabinets (Power Amp adjust itself automatically to speakers impedance).

The BOOST MODE allows for instant increase of
volume level during a performance.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.
