Product Review of the RockStand Combo Amp Stand

My Review of the RockStand Combo Amp Stand

I had a bit of money and decided to make a few musical instrument accessory purchases. Among them were a brand new guitar amp. Now at my age, I have no desire to have a big and heavy "stack" amp that stands about 6 feet tall to lug around. I chose to stick with a combo amp going no larger than two, twelve inch speakers. These are the type of amps that I've always used in my 23+ years of performing. Combo amps present a bit of a problem for some players. 

Because they sit close to the ground, the sound tends to be projected from behind you at about shin level. Now this doesn't bother some players but it does others and I'm included. Now some amps have things that allow the musician to tilt the amp back but my new amp did not have this. In the past, I've used milk crates, bar chairs (not stools), or a small table to set my amp on. Well this time, I decided to spend a bit of money and get myself an amp stand. Upon a bit of research and looking at the options out there, I found the RockStand Combo Amp Stand to be the best value so I picked one up.

The RockStand Combo Amp Stand features Black metal construction, and rubber feet. Locking pins on the RockStand Combo Amp Stand will keep your amp in place. The unit is collapsible and is capable of supporting an amp or speaker up to 150 pounds.

Now as with any new purchase, before buying the RockStand Combo Amp Stand, I researched many user reviews of this product on the Internet. One thing I kept seeing were stories of how the RockStand Combo Amp Stand while holding a normal medium sized combo amp would tip forward causing the amp to fall on it's face. 

Now my new amp has plastic shafts that hold on the knobs, so I did NOT want that to happen. I also found just as many users who reviewed the RockStand Combo Amp Stand who said that they had no problem with the RockStand Combo Amp Stand tipping forward and many of them were using amps that were much heavier and/or larger than mine. I decided to take a chance and purchase the RockStand Combo Amp Stand.
