Hey guitarists, since our ears are way up in our heads and not on our knees, its better if floor amps projected our music upwards.

Here's a cheap way to make a tilted stand for your guitar amps.

The measurements I made for the stand are for my Vox Cambridge Twin Reverb amp that measures 22.5inches x 9inches x 16inches and weighs 40 lbs.

I'm pretty sure most combo amps will fit on this stand.

Step 1: Materials

Materials needed:

20 feet PVC pipe (I only used 15 feet)
4 pairs of PVC elbow connectors
5 pairs of PVC T-connectors
PVC cement
measuring tape

Step 2: Back and Bottom Support for the Amp and Bottom Frame Layout

I started by measuring supports for the back and bottom of the amp, 15 inches for the back and 9 inches for the bottom.

I then laid out the elbow connectors to see where the bottom frame support will be.

Step 3: Assembling the Middle Part and Getting the Tilt

Connect the bottom and back supports to form a 90-degree L then cut enough connecting pipes to form a length about 24 inches long, with the T-connectors at the end.

Step 4: Adding Front Support and Bottom Frame

Added front supports and started on the bottom frame

Step 5: Bottom Frame and Back Supports

Completed the bottom frame and back support.

Made a minor adjustment to one part, since it became short when the bottom frame got completed.

Step 6: Fabrication and Pre-assembly Completed

All parts fabricated and pre-assembled

Step 7: Glueing Parts Together

Started by glueing together the small parts, mostly one section of PVC with its corresponding T-joint and elbow connector.

I also found it easier to assemble them from right to left.
