I've just become a Mesa owner (and valve amp owner) for the first time and am wondering about an age old problem that I've had playing gigs.
Basically on smaller stages (in pubs etc) I often find myself stood over the amp and cannot hear it. I used to put my solid state combo on top of my plastic GSK 4U rack case, but the LSC is just going to be too heavy for this. Should I invest in an angled amp stand or do these mess with the sound too much?
Someone did suggest to me that just having the amp far enough off the wall allows the sound to bounce around more and give better on stage sound, but I'm not convinced that will work, even though the combo is obviously open-backed.
Any thoughts and opinions greatly received....
