How the hell do you stack a Marshall and a Mesa on the same slant cab STABLY???

Re: How the hell do you stack a Marshall and a Mesa on the same slant cab STABLY???

Just make a foam pad with a hole for the strap handle (on the top of the bottom amp)and holes for the feet on the underside of the top amp. Just make it thick enough so that the top amps base sits totally flat on the pad. Cut the holes accurately enough so that it’s a positive location you’ll be good to go.

I’d put the amps on the floor then the cabinet on top.

use duct tape and fix them together, also you can make a new handle out of duct tape, if it doesn't work then you ain't using enough duct tape

if you are just stacking them at home along a wall, the larger feet solution is great.

Anywhere really, at first glance at least.... the Marshall feet seem to be an "ingenious" piece of engineering roughly resembling a hemisphere, with all the rockin' stability of being shaped like half a ball

Yeah, Ha, I've knocked a Marshall amp off another amp before with 1/4" cable pulling on it.

That's what I get for playing straight into an amp.... :lmao:

I'm gonna take an entire other approach to this question and ask:

Why exactly is it actually necessary* to take both of those to any particular gig?


*Before challenging the the definition of necessary, please remember I am in a band whose core values include "Excess" as it relates to gear...

Doesn’t necessarily need to be at a gig. I stack my amps at home, and I can see being nervous if they are unstable.

The obvious answer is another cab though. :headbang:

You just bought a guitar on a whim last weekend that looks like it needs to be used in a Vegas Cirque Du Soleil show about the rise and fall of the band Stryper and you are questioning why this guy needs 2 amps?

I kid I kid.

can I get your band's "mission statement"? I feel like I am going to be a fan.

Duct tape to a wall

Dangle them from the ceiling link glowing pinatas

It's not... probably. Although the TSL did come to me with a blown fuse, so maybe a backup wouldn't hurt if I needed to be absolutely sure...

Meanwhile, they're just parked on top of each other because there's too much crap in the garage

The better response would have been -Aceman -it's necessary because everyone in my new premier 80's Hair Metal tribute band plays multiple stacks live, we're called "Hollywood and Vine" and we are coming for you, brother"

Hollywood and Vine???

Hell to the no, I haaaaaate that area. Anywhere much north of Sixth in LA should be sanitized with hellfire.



EDIT ok fine, much north of Third... in the name of tolerance, free parking, and self-operated carwashes, I can live with Third I suppose

Home use? Meh - get a shelf, make a shelf, or excuse for a new cab!
