I've owned a few other amp stands over the years, none of which were quite ideal. Some weren't very stable, some were just too bulky when collapsed, and some didn't provide enough flexibility regarding tilt angles. So I took my time for this purchase, and looked at numerous different designs trying to find one that appeared to score high marks in all areas. This, I believe, is that stand - you can tell how stable and compact it is just by looking at it, its strength and its simplicity of design go hand in hand.

But that said, there are two minuses to take into account depending on your application.

First, the spacing of the feet (its "stance") are the tilt of the amp are interdependent. The more your tilt back your amp, the bigger that stance is and the more stable the stand. For sensible degrees of tilt, this is confidence-inspiring; but if your idea of tiltback angle is small, the feet could be positioned close enough together to prove worrisome.

Secondly, and more importantly, if you're using an open-back amp you need to confirm that the top bar of the stand has something to rest against! In the case of my Line6 Spider JAM, the stand was narrow enough (19.5") that it could only barely reach the sides of the amp, and therefore posed a risk of falling inside the speaker cavity due to the amp's lack of a horizontal brace. I liked the design so much though, that I ended up screwing in a plank of wood just for the stand's benefit - and, problem solved.

The supporting poles, which are another possible point of cabinet-back contact, extend about 13.5" above the bottom bar.
