Amplifier shock absorbers

Re: Amplifier shock absorbers

Has anyone suggested a road case yet?

I second the whole "check your bias" thing.

I always use a road case for transport to gigs.
Yes, they are heavy and bulky but it beats the alternative(s).

Ace hardware has these rubber bumpers, pretty cool.

Re: Amplifier shock absorbers

Not much, at this point although that is likely to change.

I think what we have been experiencing is a combination of issues. Older amps with problems in some cases, sketchy cabs in others, bad tubes. Maybe made worse by playing too loud at low frequency.

i have lots of experience with these issues.

First I would suggest that the more likely culprit is amplifier transport -because bumps in the road that jolt the element in a tube is 1000x worse than your amp being on the head.

How often and how do your transport you amps?
