Isolation pad / vibration dampener for valve amp

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Does anyone know for a good product that would dampen vibrations / isolate my amp from my cab?

I have a very heavy and large matamp gt200 and want to isolate it to extend valve life etc. I've just upgraded my kt88s to kt120, larger power valves.

I'm looking for something that I can place on top of my cab and I really can't be bothered to make one 😃

Edit: Something I could order to size would be a ideal.

Cheers

Tim

I did some beta testing for this guy: http://www.tecpadz.com/

I've only tried the basic version, but I've used Sorbothane in my old day job and would definitely recommend that version. In fact, I was one of the people who originally recommended it to the TecPadz guy.

This is our solution; the flight case is lined with shock-resistant foam.



Gig over, and cooled down, we just slip the case top back on, turn the butterfly latches and away it's under the blue 'bits' box...

OK, but be sure to specify air holes so it can breathe.

Good point, cheers Discreet.

Were you joking as well? Only I forgot to add a ';)' in my post. :D

My VBA lives in a flight case sleeve all the time, so it has some anti-vibration protection provided by the internal foam.

Between the flightcase and cabinet I have a sheet of dense pedalboard type foam - mainly to stop the metal frame of my flightcase trashing the cabinet, but it gives me another layer of vibration reduction. Nothing posh, but it seems to do the job.
