Noel Joined: Mar 15, 2011 Posts: 8528 Back in Piitsburgh, Pennsylvania, where I grew up.	Posted on May 28 2014 12:59 PM That's terrific! I think they could also provide plenty of vibration and shock-proofing during transportation and shipping of delicate or sensitive equipment, too. Thanks a lot! — This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got. Top

I never leave without them! You can also place them between your amp and cab to absorb the vibration from your speaker and give the tubes a break. And yes, if you kick the reverb it still crashes. Just kick it from the side or from above. — The Hicadoolas Top
Noel Joined: Mar 15, 2011 Posts: 8528 Back in Piitsburgh, Pennsylvania, where I grew up.	Posted on May 30 2014 07:54 AM I've found them in several sizes. What size do the folks who use them think is best to isolate a Reverb Unit? — This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got. Top

SanchoPansen Joined: Jan 04, 2011 Posts: 1588 Berlin L-Berg	Posted on May 30 2014 08:48 AM I have the 2" x 1" which are good IMO. But I guess a number smaller would do the job as well. Order more than 4, they tend to get lost in the heat of the action. Still haven't figured out a way to attach them permanently to my reverb... — The Hicadoolas Top

OK, I'm a having a good fun gear day & that's still the funniest thing I've seen all week. Thanks for sharing. I don't gig but - even when perched atop a very generous chunk of foam that came from a Pelican case - my tank can still crash if I'm a little heavy-heeled in the room in bare feet. — Wes SoCal ex-pat with a snow shovel DISCLAIMER: The above is opinion/suggestion only & should not be used for mission planning/navigation, tweaking of instruments, beverage selection, or wardrobe choices.
