I have one of these and love it for my Princeton Reverb, but of all the amps in the world to choose from to demo the benefit of their tilt-back stand, the marketing folks at OnStage Stands picked this one...

Guessing the marketing folks aren't guitar players...
:facepalm: :shock:

It looks like someone "souvenired" the logo right off the amp when the photographer wasn't looking.

:lol:

I find that lifting an amp of the floor changes its sonic's significantly.

I have this very same stand and I never noticed the absurdity of the photo on the carton.

Forehead slap :shock:

Yes. for many people, their ears hear better than their ankles... :lol:

I find for guitar the benefit of having the amp decoupled from the floor for live shows, either with Fender tilt-back legs or an amp stand a plus. Helps clean up the low end garbage in the mix. For recording at home, perhaps, but at home my amps sit on Auralex GRAMMA stands to decouple them from the floor. This also means that I can play my amps at healthy volumes at home without everything in the house rattling...

To each his own.
