FULL DESCRIPTION
Stomphead is a fully analog amplifier of low weight and dimensions. It is designed to be mounted in the pedalboard together with the whole set of effects.
SH can be used also without connecting the speaker cabinet as the guitar preamp.
The amp can be used also in the traditional way as the head.
In the Stomp-Head 7 Apogee version, there are 2 channels available, CLEAN+CRUNCH and LEAD
The amplifier has a line output with simulation of a loudspeaker cabinet, which makes it possible to connect it to the input of a mixer or a power amp with a wide-band loudspeaker cabinet, obtaining the sound similar to a guitar cabinet on Celestion Vintage-30 speakers. A serial effects loop is also available.
Stomp-Head 7 as a preamp.
If you want to record sound or use the amplifier as a preamp without a speaker cabinet, there is a special tool on board for this purpose - an advanced speaker cabinet simulator (IR-Cab simulation). You have a choice of faithful simulations of two types of speakers: Celestion Vintage-30 and Celestion Creamback, You can also choose two types of small and large-sized speakers. You also have a simulation of the microphone position introducing an additional possibility of equalizing the tone on the line output. Thanks to this solution you can approach the sound conditions of the classic set of speakers with a microphone by transmitting the signal from the line output without connecting a speaker cabinet. All this is done in an analog, very simple and intuitive way, without the need for additional equipment. The line output has two paths with and without simulation. This solution makes it possible to connect also an external speaker simulator. So you can use the built-in simulation or the external one or both at the same time.
