I use big appliance covers (shipping blanket material sewn into a cover) over my heads and cabs. Cheap and thick enough to keep the big, scratch happy, non-declawed cat from tearing stuff up. Too thick to use as beam blockers unless the intent is to filter out frequencies higher than midbass.

I find the power switch to be the best one available.

Re: The ultimate beam blocker!
Absolutely preposterous. Ridiculous in fact. The true beam blocker is precisely engineered to attenuate the high frequencies yet allow the propagation of the speakers sound to travel unimpeded . Are you that busted or lazy you cant spend 20 bucks to install a 'beamblocker' that you have to try and throw a damn blanket or cover on your amp?? Yeah, I was supposed to say it's cute, or it works, or that someone throwing a towel, or a "soft bag" over their speaker cabinet was cool...it ain't.;

Re: The ultimate beam blocker!
Sorry,but eat sh!t.(no offense)
When you're "on the fly" at a paying gig,I'd much rather adjust to appease the singer than listen to/deal with the bar owner *****ing about volume(some rooms are actually not designed for live bands).
It all runs downhill,if you wanna be back($),adjustments have to be made.
If a towel over a cab in a tight corner gets results,then so be it...

Re: The ultimate beam blocker!
A friend of mine uses a really heavy moving blanket on his cab to dampen the otherwise deafening sound of his amp run full out. For about ten bucks in parts, I made a couple shields out of MDF that do a great job of dispersing the sound laterally across the stage. Next step is tarting them up a bit so they look nice.
