Maybe not in the right place, but it goes with amp.

MF has an amp stand on sale for $16.99 and I thought I'd let you know.

I have one and they work great, easy to transport.

Tip: If you get one, reverse the arms when assembling - puts the weight over the center and reduces tipping dramatically.

I got one of those a while back. It holds my 1x12 combo nicely and gets it up where I can hear it well but I don't like the timber. The amp looses fullness and bottom. Instead I have a plywood box for cables that I set the amp on and get much better fullness and low frequencies. The tilt also made it a little too penetrating at gigs and the guitar didn't seem to blend well with the other instruments. It always came through the stage mix too clearly.

On the plus side using the stand allows you to turn down the amp to keep the stage volume civil. It's also a good price for a sturdy stand.

I use it for the room I play in and it serves the purpose. It certainly beats having it on the floor. I have the AD30VT on the stand and run the Black Heart through it.

My Epi Valve Jr is on a $10K stand.
