If you don't like the top of your tuck and roll cabinet getting dented from the amp head sitting on it, here is what I do:

I put a 3mm hard plastic panel cut to 14 inches wide x 8 inches deep under the back of the amp.
You could also use 1/4 inch plywood painted flat black.
This acts to distribute the amp's weight more evenly and takes the load off of the feet.
As long as you make the depth 8 inches and place it under the back of your amp, it will not be visible from the front.

Actually there are four benefits:
1) reduces dents on top of your T&R cabinet.
2) easier to remove the amp as it does not stick to your cabinet near as much.
3) makes the chrome feet a little more visible.
4) less chance of discoloration at pressure points. Charcoal and white sparkle (silver) sometimes discolor from the continuous contact of the feet of an amp or an effects box that sits on top.

Hey everybody,
Has anybody tried this, or have other ideas?
(It only took me three years to think of a way to reduce the problem of dents on the top of tuck and roll cabinets....)

I've been buying carpet remnants and using them between the head and the cabinet. They work especially well for amps that just sit around for months on end.
