Introducing a brand new product like nothing you have ever seen before. Tilt-a-Speaker was designed with the simple idea that most guitar amps and cabinets direct their sound at ground level. By simply putting an angled adapter between your speaker and baffle board inside your amp or speaker cabinet you can now direct the sound towards your ears where it always should have been. This very simple design solves the problems of tilting your amp back or putting it up on a stand or milk crate just to hear it. It installs easily in most amps and cabinets with 12 inch speakers and keeps them flat on the floor where they were designed to sound their best.

Since the invention of the first electric guitar amp, guitar players have all had the same problem. They can’t hear their amps. They put a block of wood under it, lean it back against the wall or just crank it so loud that all anyone can hear is guitar. Other companies continue to use “outside the box” thinking as a solution. They’ve given you amp stands, tilt back legs and angled cabinets that all dramatically affect the sound of the amp. We took the thinking back “inside the box”. Why not just tilt the speaker up? Your amp is now still flat on the floor without the risk of falling over and you don’t have to carry around all those stands, legs or blocks of wood.

It seems that the most popular speaker cabinets are the infamous slanted top cabs. The problem is…well they just don’t sound as full as the straight cabs. But you can’t hear straight cabs as well as you can hear those thinner sounding slant cabs. Well not anymore. With the Tilt-A-Speaker you can now have that full sound of your straight cab and still hear it as well as an angled cab.
You can also aim or “clock” the speakers left (9 o'clock) and right (3 o'clock) for a wider stereo spread.

Tilt-A-Speaker installs easily in most rear loaded speaker cabinets and many combo amps. Since we can’t test it out in every single amp and cabinet ever made we can help you to figure out if it will work in your amp or cab. You will need approximately 2 inches of clearance to install the Tilt-A-Speaker. Look inside the back to see if there are any components that may not allow the speaker to be tilted back, sideways or whatever angle you plan on installing it in. Look for transformers, tubes, large or low hanging amp chassis, protruding handles, etc. Provided you don’t have any of these issues you should be able to easily install this with common hand tools and without un-wiring your speakers.

SCREWS NOT INCLUDED!!! You will need to get the correct length and size screws for your particular amp. Most modern amps and cabs will use either t-nuts with screws or common wood screws. These can be found at your local hardware store for no more than a couple dollars. In most cases you will need (2) 2 ½ inch screws and (2) 1 ¾ inch screws. Please make sure the screw is not too long that it protrudes through the front of your grill cloth.

Doesn't Mesa make cabs with tilted baffles?
Marshall has the top, A cabs.
Fender had tilt amps in the what, 50's or 60's?

Not sure separating speakers from baffles is a good idea. Maybe it sounds great? :thumbsup:
 
would that mess with the acoustics inside the box if it wasn't designed for tilted speakers?
 
i would think that there would be some phase cancellation issues due to the increased depth that the speakers are sitting back, kinda like deeper in a tube.

didnt old fender combos have something like this too?
 
Seems neat.

But probably will affect that Robben Ford chirp for some.
:scared:
 
Interesting. I would guess the results could vary greatly depending on the speakers and cabs in question.
 
Now they need to make them out of titanium for extra tonez and $$ :lol: :LOL:
 
That would be cool in a 2x12 set to stereo for better spa ration I would think.
 
Angle them 4 different ways in a Marshall 4 X 12 for maximum spread. You're cab is no longer a directional lazer beam of sound. Sounds like a cool idea.
 
I do t know about these, if no actual acoustic science was done to check the response I would assume phase issues as well due to the tube being created. Won't there be add odd first reflection off the baffle edge?

Also the density is different than wood and removes the speakers coupling from the baffle.

Is there any science or a website? The copy claims tilting your cabinet or amp severly changes the tone but assumes this won't?!

I would have to hear it in person to judge it .

I'm also curious who wants these? You guys are all tilting speakers toward your head? What about your monitors or in ears?

I dial in my tones on axis but prefer to hear my cab while playing off axis.
 
You can get the same effect by putting taller feet on the front of your amp or speaker cabinet AND you won't interupt the "speaker to baffleboard connection." The taller feet in the front will angle the speaker upward slightly. My front feet are about an inch higher than the back and that works great for me.
 
I've always been curious about these. I just refuse spending the $25 each then having to find correct screw lengths and threads to use it with a vintage Marshall 4x12 (with the British thread screws).

I agree...the price is a joke
