MT-15 short feet issue solutions?

[Ruben Bernard]

As Philip McNight made clear in his review of the MT-15, the feet are too short to sit atop another head. This hasn't been an issue for me since I got mine since it was first my only amp for a while. Now that I've moved my Mt-15 to be atop my Archon 100 I have found... the feet are indeed too short. Other than sticking some folded paper under the feet, have any of ya'll found any more aesthetic solutions to solve it, such as replacement feet that are taller?

When I built my amp head shell and cabinet, I bought the feet on Amazon. They have a bunch of different diameters and heights.

Aftermarket Feet Are Available And Of Course You Can Rig Up All Kinds Of Ways To Make It Work. It Just Comes Down To How Classy You Want It To Look And How Much You Want To Spend. I Have Seen People Use Foam, Drink Coasters, CD Cases, Power Stations, Books, Wood, Etc. I Have Also Seen The Amp Placed Off The Cab And On A Desk, Bookshelf, Etc. It All Comes Down To What You Have To Work With I Suppose.

Google ‘rubber feet for guitar amp’. You’ll find plenty of options.

I always use something that insulates the amp from the one it’s sitting on. Neoprene, or some other damping material is what I usually use. Sometimes I use some type of packing foam instead.

I do that, too!

With a separate head and cab, I cut up a neoprene mouse pad to put under the feet to absorb some of the vibration coming from the cab. The idea is to protect the electronics.

There are also products made for the purpose; I use Iso-Acoustics pucks between my monitor stands and monitors in the studio. They do a wonderful job and eliminate resonances very well. Believe it or not, there’s a very significant sonic improvement.

I haven’t used them between an amp head and a cab, however. I probably should get a set to try that.

IIRC, when I looked at installing different feet in mine, what I had on hand had screws long enough that they were wanting to hit the PCB inside - just something to be aware of.

I use thick sheets of felt, yoga blocks, neoprene sheets, sliced-in-half (thickness, not length or width!) garden kneeling foam........

Oh boy, don't get me started on the picture posting process here!

I also use felt sheets which ensures I don't get marks on the top of amps with light colored tolex.
