Keep those amps off the floor

[Baddass]

And it will sound a helluva lot better:poke::poke:

[Gas Hed]

You are correct sir - I keep mine on a mini table I got at IKEA. Grant it, I can do that because it is a 1x12 combo and only weighs about 55 lbs.

[rocknhard]

Depends if you want more bass response or not?

[SeanJovi]

I keep mine on a small coffee table.

I keep mine on the floor and use a standback amp stand to point it at my ears. The closer to the floor, the better the bass response you'll get.

MF folding amp stand is sop. I was at GC playing a used guitar through an AD15VT like mine and thought "I wonder why this Strat sounds so much better than mine." It finally hit me that the amp was at ear level at GC. I use a stand for my both my AD15 and my AD50. Back in the day I had a Peavey Studio 50 and aways used a folding chair for it.

[cratz2]

Yeah, I usually keep my $600 amp on a $1,300 stand when I'm playing it.

 

[EJD]

I always mount mine on a wee little table. Keeps 'em off the ground, plus there's space underneath for my toolbox. Win win

[nothingstock]

I used an amp stand for a while, but when I got my AD50VT, I couldn't see the knobs. I guess a file crate would be a good solution if I ever play out. Have to try that later today.

[bad mutha-humpa]

Milk crates.

Exactly. I used to play with my DRRI on top of a road case and had to crank the bass knob all the way to 10. It still wasn't warm enough for me (granted, the DRRI is a pretty bright amp even after clipping the "bright" cap). I finally ended up installing tilt-back legs for it and with it now on the floor, I get the bass-coupling while still having the sound directed towards my ears.

[CoqBelliqueux]

I really prefer having them on the floor, even the small Champ. Feels less like the sound is coming from only one direction in mid-air.

[ashasha]

It makes a big difference in my opinion.

 

I built this out of an old chair I had that I was going to toss out.

 

 

 

Built a little attenuator (box on the bottom) for it that works great.

I keep mine on the top half of a shelf I kept from my old house in Florida.

 

Solid mahogany construction, holds my Bassman REALLY well.

[Alchemist]

depends on the amp and cabinet design

[BlueSteam]

Agreed. Although, two of my amps are kickbacks, but that still counts right? My Boogie stays on its wheels becasue I NEED to cut the bass.

[JohnnyLarge]

 

My Vox AD15VT is on an old cheap tiltable AVF speaker stand. Sounds better and doesn't piss off the neighbours.

 

Try it!!!!

That's sweet.

[DaleH]

If the amp is an open back design it's a good idea to keep it at least 3' from a wall also.

[csm]

Agreed.

 

Whenever we get to a gig I try to nick a pair of plastic beer crates off the bar staff -- or a folding wooden chair. This is for a combo, mind -- I wouldn't necessarily recommend this for a stack of 4x12 cabs ...

Do you ever sit your woman on that & attenuate the noise that comes from her?

[ten56gibby]

Combo on half stack on casters! WHAT. Most rocking stand ever.

Which setting attenuates that whiney "I want new carpeting, you don't make enough money" tone?

[the_bleeding]

i keep mine on casters.

Always keep my Blues DeVille 4 x 10 firmly planted on t'floor lads. It likes it there.
