OWNER’S MANUAL

The Stomp-Head 1.Vintage

MTD (Master Tube Design) technology.

is dedicated to supporters of single-purpose
amplifiers and prefer a vintage like type of sound.
The amp is based on a 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.

To abtain required parameters, the amplifier is driven by a much higher
rated power amp. Even though the power of the amplifier is set at

0Watts RMS, in reality the real power of the amp is 100 Watts.
The SH 1.VT is also equipped with a power selector allowing the player to
use the amp in two different power ratings of 0 and 2 Watts RMS. It is
also designed to auto adjust itself to different speaker impedance. The
amp handles the speakers with 4, 8, and 16 Ohm of impedance.

The Stomp-Head .VT features a classic, three point EQ ( BASS,
MIDDLE, TREBLE), PRESENCE, . The
amplifier is characterized by very smooth, warm sound with soft
compression and long sustain.

The Stomp-Head can also be used as a guitar preamp. LINE OUT with a
Speaker Cabinet Simulation permits the player to connect independently
the preamps 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.

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
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.
