MusicRadar's got your back
You might not have considered an amp stand before, but it can make a big difference. This offering from IsoAcoustics has three main benefits: it tilts your amp back (aiming the sound at your ears, rather than your feet), raises it off the floor, and isolates it from other surfaces.
