Who is using an amp stand

Amp Stand and Amp Dolly with Storage area.

Raises amps 20 inches off the floor which is basically a tad higher than the local American Legion chair.

20 inches high, 20 inches wide and 12 inches deep , made from 3/4 plywood with an open back and with 2" Rubber Wheel Casters. Very rugged painted Flat Black so it can be repainted as required.

I actually designed it to fit snug to a Nashville 400, but most any combo amp will be right at home sittin' on top. My Tele pal uses a Peavey Classic 50 and I also use mine with a Fender Hot Rod Deville..

All ya need is a saw , some woood , some srews and ome glue..oh, and some wheels

I have three; the best is one I found at St.Louis, which is made by Stage Stands. It is adjustable in all directions. I use it for a Webb 614E and it holds that with no problem.

The Williams stand is by far the best I've ever seen for the steel. It's hinged at the top and folds out like a step ladder would. It's got a rubber covered cross bar which you set your amp on and you can tilt it how you like. It works so well that I've used it on lead guitar gigs because of the ability to tilt the amp back. My guitar gigs I usually use a folding chair but this looks much better on stage. On steel gigs (what it's designed for) it can't be beat. It'll extend sideways for different width amps. When the gig is over and you take your amp off just pick up the thing by the top cross rod and it folds up by itself. Have a good 'un...JH

When I set my guitar up I close the case and leave it on the floor. Then set the amp on top of it. If I need to hear it a little better, I prop it up with the duct tape roll.

Plus, you don't ahve to pack it up!

I use Ernie Renn's method, since the steel case seems to act as a resonating chamber for more low end... as if I needed more low end with a Webb amp.

In the past I've used a duct tape roll as per Ernie, but I find I get a better sound with a plastic ash tray as a wedge. Black, of course, sounds best.

I didn't see the Genesis Amp Stand listed here unless I missed it. Guitar Center sells it. It's a tripod stand that folds up or out for stowage in a gig bag. I saw 2 versions. The standard version will hold up to 80 lbs. The heavy duty version will hold more of course but I don't know the specs on it. Both are adustable to tilt backwards and the main backrest rod extends upward and has a threaded tip on it for a boom mike. It's very compact yet sturdy.
I found the amp stand on Musicians Friend.

I use Keith Hiltons stands. Adjust to any angle or or level. CC
