Ingenious Gadget

Having become sick and tired of leaning my combo against a wall every time I wanted to rehearse or just play for fun, I looked on the net for simple, small and ideally lightweight, easy to store solutions to the problem. The Standback Ampstand came up as one of the main contenders and as usual I had a quick look on Thomann's site and wasn't at all surprised to see they stocked it. I ordered it as part of a bunch of stuff I needed and after a week had it delivered in good order to my home in the Canaries.

Simple packaging and extremely simple gizmo (why didn't I think of that?). Easy to assemble!!!! Within about a minute and a half I had it assembled and supporting my combo.

Well made, well thought out and extremely easy to use. It does exactly what it is supposed to do and is easily stored or transported. When in use it is invisible to the audience so no unsightly corroded metal supports or beer crates to take away the look of your prized amplifier.

10 out of 10 from me and thanks once again to Thomann.

Black Magic, clearly

This thing shouldn't work, it really shouldn't. But it does. When I got it, my stepdaughter and I took it out, looked at it, looked at my ancient and very very heavy fender twin, and made a bet that it wouldn't be able to hold it.
After a bit of messing around trying to set it up (the instructions are not terribly clear unfortunately) we got it in, pushed back the twin, and it held. It really held it.
This solves the age old problem of having the speakers pointing at your knees instead of your ears, and is much cheaper than other stands, doesn't decouple from the floor, isn't impossible to fit like old fender tilt back legs, and most importantly folds up into the back of your amp for storage, and ensuring you've always got it when you need it.
Great.

Great for Quick Set Ups
Glenn2822 22.01.2014
This stand is very portable and quick to set up, ideal for gigs where a speedy set up is required. The moulded plastic frame is more than sturdy enough to hold a 2x12 combo amp - I wouldn't use it for a stack ... It is sadly not big enough!

A small amount of adjustment can be made the tilt angle by changing the length of the straps.

Tilting back your amplifier so that the speaker fires straight at your head is the only way to hear your amplifier the way a microphone (in a P.A. set up) is hearing it - in the absence of any monitoring equipment.

I
perfect
Igharib 22.12.2018
i used for TC electronic BH250 bass cabinet and i couldnt imagine it would work , all the reviews and videos were on normal sized guitar amps but it actually worked for this tall cabinet . i also tried it with my smalled amp roland cube 20 and also great.
pros
-works with all amps (probably)
-tilt angle is quite good
-very portable
-stable
-great value
cons
nothing so far , didnt use it that much , maybe in the long run it "could" get flimsier because its not the most rugged thing ever

Clever
Anonymous 30.12.2016
I have used this product to tilt back my combo amp on gigs for years. The amp is a Tech 21 Trademark 60, which is a similar size, to say, a Deluxe Reverb.
It is a very clever idea. Light, easy to transport, I keep it in the back of the amp, it folds flat.
When I fist saw it folded up, it looked like a brain teaser puzzle as to how it goes together. I got it wrong a couple of times, duh!, but after that, no problem at all.
Set up, it really looks like it won't hold the amp, but it does! It works.
The amp can tilt back forwards if it gets knocked or pulled by the guitar cable. Happened to me once, no damage, but the reverb made an almighty bang. I put something under the raised front of the amp, usually an old wah wah pedal, to prevent this and have never had another problem.
It's simple, effective and easy to carry. I'd get another if it got lost. Clever!

You get what you pay for

It's not heavy duty, and it's not supposed to be...
I used it for over two years in a rehearsal room, closing and opening it once a week and it did not break yet.
It does make a difference to project the sound upwards, you can keep lower volumes and hear the whole tone range more clearly.

Brilliant Idea
BassBunny 18.09.2015
One of the best ideas I have come across. Firstly a word of warning, this stand will not work with most Bass Cabinets as they are too deep, but for guitar amps, it is awesome. The idea is simplicity itself. A rubber foam block is placed under the Amp. 2 straps are attached to the plastic "A" frame allowing the amp to be tilted back to the optimum 45 degrees for sound dispersion. When you have finished it folds up so small it could fit into any Gig-Bag. it really is a most effective and simple device and due to the size, there is no excuse not to have one.

Standback Ampstand
Robert814 25.07.2014
This is one of those "Gadgets" that I wish had been around years ago. I realised that pointing the amp directly at my face was the answer to a better sound, as well as being much kinder to the audience and other band members. Like other reviewers I've tried propping the amp up in various ways, for a couple of years I used an upturned waste basket (Trash can), but it only takes 30 seconds before I could set up for someone to put rubbish in it. Who's having the last laugh now !
This is just so easily portable to leave in the back of a combo and actually fits more small amps than a dedicated metal stand.

Great purchase!
Anonymous 09.02.2015
We all know how useful it is to have your amp in a degree scale lying on the back so we have the sound hitting us better! This little ampstand does exactly like that in the best possible way! It's really useful for any kind of amps and any kind of situation ( rehearsal or live show).
I've tried it with big or small amps and everything was ok!
Quality is really good, it feels good when you touch it, you know it's not gonna break in the first opportunity!
I strongly recommend this for amp players (bassists and guitarists) and have fun!

Super Useful
franzacal 08.06.2017
The stand back ampstand is simply super useful and it can save you from many bad situations.

Very simple to mount, I use it when I play around in some clubs and I bring it overtime with me because I put it on the back side of my amp.

For it's price is so well made and strong.
