[Harp-L] Raising or Tilting Your Amp

[Wolf Kristiansen <wolfkristiansen@xxxxxxxx>]

On a whim, I recently purchased an amp stand-- the kind that raises the amp a few inches off the floor and also tilts it toward your ears (assuming you play in front of your amp). I haven't used it on stage yet, though I've tried it at home. Not sure what to make of it, or if I've heard enough to say it makes a difference. 

Feedback is not an issue for me, though I can see for some, it would be. You're aiming your amp towards your microphone.

I would think that it would tame an overly bassy amp or microphone, since the bass reinforcement that comes from bouncing the sound off the floor wouldn't be as pronounced.

Here's my question. Does anyone else use these stands as part of their harmonica amplification setup? What are the advantages? What are the drawbacks? 

Cheers,
