As my collection of amps has grown, I’ve been struggling with the best way to configure my studio to allow me to get good use out of them all, and maybe spend less time moving cables and power strips around.
I’m limited by the height of some shelves I installed (not strong enough to hold an amp head), so I picked up a storage rack that fits a few heads - but just barely. Glad I measured first!
Next to those, I brought my Fender 4x12 cabinet out of retirement, but with a twist. I removed the speakers, and installed 4 different models of Celestion 12” speakers, each with their own speaker jack wired behind. The great thing about this is I can test different amps with different speaker types easily, or I can mix speakers in pairs like an oversized 2x12, or I can even leave 4 heads all hooked up at once and ready to go.
On the other side, I’m just barely able to fit my 1x12 combo amps.
Here’s a look at the room now that everything is set up:
