Way too flexible
This amp clamp won't stay in place for long.
I've attached it to my amp and tried it with a really light mic but even so it always starts bending down after a while.
I'd suggest you spend some extra money and buy something more sturdy...
It's easy to attach and all but it's purpose, which is to keep the mic in place in your amp, fails completely.
Anyway, if you're still interested in this piece of clamp, the flexible tube can be dettached and swapped for something sturdier. I think they sell that separate part, but I haven't look it up yet.
I hope this review helps. Have a good day!

It really stays in place when you attach it one the amp but that goose neck... It is really trash. never stays in place, I am really unsatisfied with that purchase.

useful but not great
The conveniece is that this amp clamp is lighter, more compact and easier to setup than regular mic stands. It can save up some space when gigging. I use the amp clamp for fender frontman 212R amp and Sennheiser E 906 mic. The problem is that the amp clamp is not flexible enough to allow to put the E906 really close to the speaker. Closest it goes is around 8cm from the speaker. So if we're recording something with the band we use the regular mic stand. But for live gigs the 8-10cm distance doesnt really seem to make such a big difference. So it depends what mic you use, if the mic i meant to be put with the tip to the speaker(like shure sm57), this amp clamp will be suitable, but if something like E906 that is meant to be put parallel to the speaker then you will not be able to put it really close to speaker.
The quality seems ok, there are no defects yet after at least dozen times of use.

Great idea, but could be made a little better
I bought a pair of these amp clamps in order to mic up the two Vox AC30s we use in our band. Prior to this we had simply hung our Sennheisser mics from their xlr leads slung over the top of the amps and secured in place by black gaffa tape. Sometimes however, the tape can come unstuck, so these clamps seemed to be an ideal solution. However, we're not happy with the clamps so we've gone back to the gaffa!
The AC30s are big amps, but the spring loaded clamps do manage to stretch around the cabinets and hold firmly in place. The main problems with these units is the goose neck section. It's not very long, so you may struggle to get it to stretch across to achieve a decent position in front of the speaker cone in a large cabinet. Even then, the goose neck is not of particularly high quality: it does not tend to want to stay in one place, and droops under the load of even a light weight mic.
The Sennheisser E 906 mics that we use are designed to be positioned flat in parallel with the grille cloth, and it is pretty much impossible to achieve this position with the goose neck provided. I suspect you'd have better luck positioning a mic like a Shure SM58, where the mic is positioned tangentially to the speaker - especiallly with a smaller amp or cabinet.

Some issues...
As has been mentioned in other reviews this is 'almost' a great piece of kit. The clamp part is excellent, very sturdy and won't mark your expensive combo. The gooseneck part is not so great. If it works for your particular mic placement then fine...but if you need to bend the neck to 90 degrees there is a problem. It likes being straight and - without using gaffa tape or cable ties - the neck will straighten itself.

Interesting idea, but the sizes of clamping does not feet to my cabinet (I have Marshall 12x4 1960) and this "goose neck" is too weak to hold microphone in any position I want.

doesnt work with amp...but
I got it to use on my ac30 but because the neck is so loose on it i ended up using it to hold my stereo mic bar on my upright piano and it clamps to the top and falls down the right direction, salvaging an otherwise useless item.

good , but a bit light for regular use
It works very well ( that is very important ) but its a little hard to keep in in the right place on tight stages ... a light flick .... and it moves. It is very convenient though and it does the job well if no one moves anything on the stage during performance

Mediocre
This product is, from what I can see, a rebrand of other amp clamps, which is of no problems as there are no differences in quality. The only difference is the price, this is cheap compared to competitor's products.
