Tilt-back speaker foot

[fdeck]

I once remember seeing (probably on TB) a plastic foot that attaches to the bottom of a speaker, and flips up for tilting the speaker back.

I've searched high and low. Any ideas? I've been propping up my amp with a brick that I found outside my band's main venue, but it's disappeared. I don't want to carry more stuff, since the logistics for this gig are atrocious.

A recessed flip up handle for speakers works OK. IRRC Penn Elcom used to sell a hinged metal square tube one but discontinued it several years ago, but knokoffs may still be out there?

How tilted do you need? I use a 2x4 and put that under the front feet (or, I used to…)

I used a spare Countryman Type 85 that I kept in my rack drawer.

I use a Markbass device called the "Mark Stand."
You can read about it here:

It folds up relatively flat for storage, and when you need it, it opens up and has two fold over flaps with velcro to stay together. The side facing the cabinet also has velcro so if you have a cabinet with rat-fur, it will stick to it for more grip. The floor-facing side has rubber cleats.

I bought mine in 2012, and I still use it almost weekly, and it shows no evidence of failing.
I used to use it with a Markbass NY121 cabinet, but now I use it with a Hartke HD112. When not in use it's packed in the rear flap of my TC amp bag.

There used to be pictures of people using one with a 4x10 out there.

I have an old EA cabinet that actually has a rubber-covered handle on the bottom. You unfold it and rest the cabinet on it and it takes care of the tilt back. It's a more permanent solution, but EA did it to their cabs.

Try one of these, they’re great! Here’s a link & photo:

I have seen those angled leg-type stands but I cannot remember the brand name. My amps are small enough that I use a standard square-tube steel folding stand that lifts and tilts the amp back.

I generally use a large spring loaded recessed handle, unless the cabinet is too light.

Not what you are looking for. Finding one of these might prove difficult.

It also has a mic thread on the end that I turned upside down to add a mic on a gooseneck.

Those are no longer available from the original supplier as they were discontinued years ago. We (Jeff and I) had originally specified this part in a number of products back in the day. There may be some available as clone parts, but not that I have found.

That’s pretty close to the one I referenced upthread. Might be a viable 3D print product?

No problem here with tilting the speaker cabinet........

Yep, those kick out stands on the Shuttles are the bees knees. I tilt my 112 combo atop my 112 EXT. Too bad they're discontinued.

Yes, tilt feet can be found in 3d print libraries. Ones that I’ve seen are light duty. But a search might turn something up.

 

[agedhorse]

Even the better commercial ones weren’t all that robust, I wouldn’t expect light duty ones to hold up.

Find a rock outside and use it.
