I decided a while ago that my Buster 1x15 could use a little extra height, and when a combo weighs more than 90#/40kg and won’t tilt back (due to otherwise helpful wheels), what better way to get up high than with another cab? I had my sights set on a Mesa 1x15 when this 2x10 wedge appeared in the right place, time, and price range; despite my preference for 15s, it just seemed too easy and I pounced. I have had limited time with it, but so far, it seems to do what I hoped: it gets the Buster sound up where I can hear it more easily! The position pictured looks the coolest, but standing it on end seems to get the best results in my cramped practice quarters. I look forward to trying more in the coming days, as I will have a lot of time for it while sheltering in place :(

cool, but why not use the actual tilt-up feature of the 2x10 (set it with the slanted side down on top of the Buster) and get it pointed up at your ears ? (I presume your playing standing up). just curious, not criticizing what you have done with it. this is probably a very good addition to an already nice amp. :thumbsup:

FWIW, I am also sheltering in place in the SF Bay Area. Lots of time to practice :D

good luck, stay healthy!

because I mostly play sitting down in that space, haha. I have since found that standing it on end works better than anything in that space, even if it doesn't look as cool.

And yes, plenty of time to practice, and plenty of time at home for the neighbors, which has resulted in my first noise complaint. Woohoo?
