In theory Poida runs his amp upside, in relation to yours anyway. Should be fine.

I was wondering about that this morning as I was walking on the ceiling. I'm gonna have to go check all my posts about smiley face EQ's.........

Some amps cool without a fan, they just use the fact that heat rises. If you were to change the orientation of "up" on an amp like that, it could over-heat.

Just my .02

Excellent point, Jon R. A good rule of thumb to remember.

Maybe that's why Fieldy plays with his bass pointing at the ceiling?

Wow, Fieldy knows this and still gets dissed by the critics.

Pete, I always knew you were a smart one but you truly are clever for figuring this out.
