? for Mike Brown on Amp tilts

Mike what is the status on the amp tilt back legs which you had installed on the new Peaveys in St. Louis. I believe you said they were drum feet. Are they available for order or was it decided not worthwhile? Thanks.

Thanks for asking about this Fred. We all thought that this tilt back system was just what we needed on our amps, but the costs involved prohibited us from installing them as a stock item. At this time, we are looking into this as an accessory item. Hopefully, I'll have more info on this later.

I've wondered why Peavey never put Fender-style legs on their amps? Surely there's not a patent on something that simple.

Thanks Mike. I thought it was a pretty neat idea. If they decide to market them, I will buy a set. They don't detract from the looks of the amp, and would be handy to have a lot of times.

Fred,

Where do you play in Indy. I recently moved from there. I lived in Fishers and worked all sides of town mostly East and South.

Hey Herb, My Twin has 'Patent Pending' on the tilt legs.... Maybe so.

I don't know why you couldn't use Fender Tilt legs on a Peavey. They come with all the hardware you need. I bet the 16" legs that come on a Twin Reverb would work on Sessions, Nashvilles, and the other similar cabinets.

Of course it would say "Fender" on the leg..

The Peavey tilt-back legs are telescopic, and they mount on the inside of the cabinet.

Hi Tim. I have only been playing lodges in the last few years. The last club I played was called the Big Texan, which was in Greenfield. I played there six nights a week for about three years. I have had two heart attacks and heart surgery and I am not able to play the five hours gigs anymore, and I don't like to have my weekends all tied up every week anymore. When you play lodges, you can usually just play when you want to, and most are only three or four hours.

I can confirm that the Fender tilt back legs fit nicely on a Nash 400. Great addition, especially when practicing at low vol.

Best, -Dave

No one has answered the question: Is the Fender-- patent pending "in effect" for the tilt back devices that came out on Fender amps? What is it, 17 years that a patent remains valid. I know it has been a lot longer than that. I saw these tilt back legs on Fender amps 30 years or more ago.

Redd Volkaert installed some Fender legs on his Evans once.
