Small amp stand for under $10

Following the theme of my under $10 pedal board, I decided to build a stand for my Behringer at108 acoustic amp.  I can't stand it aiming at my ankles!

You can adjust he measurements for your amp.  I would imagine, given how strong this thing is, you could scale it up to a 2x12 combo amp without issues.

My amp has a foot print of 14" x 6.5"

I used what scrap I had laying around so it really cost nothing to make but, you could pick up enough 3/4" birch ply for under $10.

Let's get started!

Step 1: The layout...

Here is the layout of the sides.

I took a framing square and tilted the amp back until I had an angle I liked.  In this case it was 2.5" higher at the front edge.  I wanted the front of the amp 6" up off the floor at the front as well.  So this meant the back would wind up 3.5" from the floor.

Here is the layout on the sides and then the sides cutout.

Great instructable! I built one this evening. I am planning on wrapping it with faux leather to match the amp.

BTW, the guitar in the background is a 1980 Nagoya D9.

If you can find one, grab it! They are really nice sounding guitars.

Thanks for the comment!

It's pretty nice, especially considering the price.

If it had delay or reverb, I wouldn't ask for anything more in a practice amp.

Let me know if you have any other ideas of stuff that I should build and document.
