History of Taurus

Taurus is a brand of the Box Electronics. Box Electronics, established in 1983 , is manufacturing a wide range of the electro-acoustic products. However, Taurus had its beginning long before Box Electronics. It was the late 70’s, when the first amplifiers were made for the use of the band „PickUp”, in which Adam Kozakiewicz, a guitarist and electro-acoustic enthusiast, played. He was the designer and the first user of these amps. In 1981 he and a group of musicians formed a rock band „Jeep” and they used to play on the amps and sound systems which where designed by Adam. In that time the first Taurus amplifier was also built. It was a bass amp and he also used the same name for his next favorite guitar amp.
In 1983, still playing with "Jeep" rock band, Adam decided to start a company that would specialize in making guitar and bass amps. This way Box Electronics was founded. It was a period of great experience, because the band could test all the new constructions of the amplifiers. At the same time Box Electronics started to enlarge its production of sound systems, which made the company popular and allowed its development. All the time guitar and bass amps remained the biggest passion of the company's founder and people working with him. A stubborn will to continue the production of these devices led to a design of a whole new series of amps. The owner's sentiment for his first guitar amps caused the name „Taurus” to reappear. At the beginning of the new Taurus project, guitar as well as bass amps were designed, but then all the energy was directed towards a design of uncompromising bass amps.
