How do you guys handle tilt back? Fender legs, a wedge, a stand? I'm getting a new to me blues Jr and know I will want to get it back. I used a stand in the old days, but hate taking the amp off the floor. I'm open to ideas.

Tilt-back legs are easy enough to install. Make sure to get the right length for the cabinet you have. There's another item called the Stand Back (dunno if they're still in production) that mounts on the rear of the cab and serves as a prop for the amp. Yet another option is to make a small angled holder for the amp from 1/2" ply or other light wood. It doesn't have to be elaborate. Even easier would be a 14" long (or so) stick 1" x 1/2", attached to the top back of the cab with a small hinge and a piece of light cord on the bottom to control the distance it swings open, like a kickstand:  If you go with the tilt-back legs or a kickstand, it is good practice to install large (1"+) rubber feet on the bottom of the amp to give it some traction and also to protect the Tolex. Those cheepo stamped steel/'phoenix glides' Fender installs on a lot of their amps are junk. |
