What is the name of the stand or pad that you put on the Emperor cab to stop the head from moving around when being played? |

At any rate, the least expensive material is 1/2" thick felt carpet pad. You can usually get smaller pieces for free by dumpster diving at any carpet store that does installation. |

I mean, I don't see why a foam pad is really needed at all. If you're really experiencing THAT much movement from your head atop your cab, you could A) set the head on the ground or B)get some strips of the material they use on the tops of skateboards and slap that on the top of your cab. I did that with my Plain wood DIY cab, and it sort of worked, but the combined weight and movement of the head, and the cabs vibrations, I actually managed to strip those strips in about two shows.
So the best route? Just set your head on the ground.

| | | | Oh yeah I have Emperor cabs and my head moved around. I have heard this from other people as well that there's did the same thing. |

it's not a big deal, soft rubber feet for your amp should do the trick. |

Who care's about functions like not snapping off or damaging your amp when you can have stuff made the old way?
