barrymclark Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Only one I have found like it. http://www.guitarcenter.com/Musician-s-Gear-Folding-Tiltback-Amp-Stand-106376098-i1400389.gc What are your thoughts? Anyone know of USA amp stand manufacturer?
DetroitBlues Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I use this one. http://www.onstagestands.com/catalog/item/home/model/rs7500/grp/GRP000231 for a stage presence, it has seems sturdier and it has the ability to add a boom mic to it. I think it was cheaper than model you're looking at and I bought it at GC for $25.
pressure Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I guess I'm old school, I use a chair or a milk carton.
tbonesullivan Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 One word of caution is that if you have an amp that is a model with known overheating issues, having it tilted back may make those worse. I have an amp stand that puts the amp about a foot and a half off the ground. I use it for smaller combos but not my beastly marshall TSL122, which is close to the weight limit of the stand.
rjsanders Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Standback, "Made In USA", has served me well for a couple years now (30-50 lb combos), maintains tone, folds & stores in my gig backpack
Guest HRB853370 Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 I just ordered one of these (my second one as I loved the first one so much). Not sure if they are made in USA, but they hold 152 lbs of weight and are built like a tank. On sale right now at Sweetwater! http://www.sweetwate.../detail/AmpStd/

I like the onstage as the amp is about 3 feet off the floor for better dispersion of sound and easier access to the controls.

On sale right now at Sweetwater! http://www.sweetwate.../detail/AmpStd/ I've got three of those myself, I find them very effective with closed cabs but with open back combo's they do lose a lot of the low end.
Hfan Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 One word of caution is that if you have an amp that is a model with known overheating issues, having it tilted back may make those worse. New one for me. Less heat disapation due to the slant of the top? Makes sense I guess. I remember wishing I had a stand at PSP.
tbonesullivan Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 well, the heat can rise up and get "trapped" in the front of the cabinet. It may make the heat issues just a little bit worse, if you have an amp that runs hot, like a DSL401.
barrymclark Posted October 17, 2011 Author Posted October 17, 2011 Standbacks are no longer made in the US. So... the search continues.
rjsanders Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Standbacks are no longer made in the US. So... the search continues. disappointing news (both my Cannondales are US-made, now no major bike makers in the U.S.) - what's your source? - their website still claims they are...
barrymclark Posted October 17, 2011 Author Posted October 17, 2011 disappointing news (both my Cannondales are US-made, now no major bike makers in the U.S.) - what's your source? - their website still claims they are... I sent in a question asking about their manufacturing. I might be able to get one made in the U.S. now... but as time goes, you won't be able to. See below from Standback's response. Hi Barry, Thanks for the email about the Standback - For years the Standback was made in the U.S., but unfortunately not anymore (we do have some U.S. made ones still in stock). Hopefully in the future we will make them here again - we have kept the mould and other tooling here on hand. Best regards, Jason Robling Standback AmpStands www.standback.net 301-524-9939

Some places have a stage that rumbles like mad, then I might want it off the floor.
