Taurus Stomp-Head 8.Qube – New model of compact guitar amplifier.
A Compact Guitar Amplifier in a stompbox shape – designed to install in your pedalboard.
Master Tube Design Technology
The Stomp-Head SH-8.Qube is the smallest member of Taurus’s floor amplifiers family based on the Master Tube Design.
The first amplifier in the Stomp-Head series was created in 2011. SH8.Qube is a new design based on company’s previous experience and tests.
The goal is to offer guitarists a complete amplifier – no additional effects required. Of course it is up to you what kind of effects you would like to use while experimenting with sound, but the idea of SH8.Qube is to provide you with all necessary tools to create sound.
Taurus SH8.Qube is equipped with:
Classic DRIVE, High Gain DRIVE, BOOST, REVERB, SPEAKER CABINET SIMULATOR, PHONES OUT, AUX-IN, AUX-LOOP, Power supply for effect pedals -9V/DC, BLUETOOTH
All this makes this amplifier outstandingly versatile. Its small dimensions mean that you can take it with you everywhere, and when installed in a pedalboard it will take up very little space.
S-H8.Qube is an analog design using the most important properties of tubes that are loved by guitarists, such as: an accurate compression, sustain and sound saturation.
SH-8.Qube can be used in various configurations:
- as a classic amplifier. There are 2 power levels to choose from: 25W and 50W.
- as a preamp connected directly to your mixer and PA system using the built-in speaker cabinet simulation. The amplifier can be used without connecting a speaker. If a speaker cabinet is not connected, the power stage of the amp is not active.
Like all Stomp-Head amps made by Taurus, the power amplifier has twice as much power reserve than is actually used. The goal is to prevent the power stage from over-driving and to obtain the right dynamics (headroom) when playing at its full power. Thanks to this solution, the amp always plays with the same power at different speaker impedance: 4.8 and 16ohm.
The efficiency of the power stage is 130W and its real volume is the same as in the case of a 50W traditional tube amplifier.
The amplifier is equipped with a unique feature that allows you to connect both guitar cabinet and a passive full-range PA or Hi-Fi cabinet to the SPEAKER-OUT. The analog module with the SPEAKER CABINET SELECTOR switch is used for this purpose. Headphone Output and BLUETOOTH. This allows to practice with background music or perform solos with musical accompaniment.
