Default Laying your amp?
Just a little detail I picked up, Curious if anyone know about it. Watching various artists I'll see their tube heads On their sides next to the cabinet. Is it just for show or does it effect the sound? ( I could see how microphonics and such are going to be a problem, But that's all I can figure. ) I'll assume its for feedback, Whats your take?
