Stand or Table for an amp
I am considering the Boss Acoustic Singer Pro amp... 32 lbs weight. Thinking of using it as a monitor, feeding it into a small PA. I have a Fishman SA220, hope I can line out to it. I'd like to have it sitting such that I can reach the Boss by hand to tweak it. What type of stand or table to put it on, any ideas? Anyone know of anything for this. Fold-down and light weight are a plus, always an issue to load in and out. Wondering what is available for this. Needs to be sturdy. Never have used one, would appreciate some tips or suggestions.
Hmmm... found this using "stand" as the search term, looks interesting... http://www.ultimatesupport.com/produ...-js-as100.html

Then again, if you don't mind its 44 lb weight, you may want to consider purchasing the Bose F1 Model 812 PA Speaker that has just had a price drop to $899. This speaker can be mounted on a speaker pole or placed on a table.

On the line out situation, The Boss has 2 XLR outs on it for the vocal channel and guitar channel.... I absolutely love the vocal channel, but I would suggest going from the Boss to the 2 inputs on the Fishman.

The time honored tradition is to borrow a chair from the venue. If you play seated, the height for monitor purposes should be OK. Play standing? You are still shooting sound below the waist though the controls will be a little more accessible. All of these amps should come with pole mounts. My Schertler does as did the Roland I used before that. And it is a great feature.
I have a K&M amp stand I use for electric guitar amps. Expensive but well built, relatively compact and sturdy. It tilts which helps with monitoring function. However, the amp will still be pretty low which will make adjustments tricky if you play standing. Once you are talking adding a PA style speaker there are many good options. All of which can mount on a pole or sit on a table. hunter

IF there is room, I would mount a speaker stand cup in it so you can put it on a pole. That's how the Carvin AG200 and 300 were made, and they weigh up to 35 pounds (AG300). Its oriented so the controls are on the side when its on the pole.

There are a number of decent keyboard stands that would probably work just fine, both X braced or table type. Check out Sweetwater. The stand in your link will work, but you'll have 3 parts to carry when you take it apart. I know this because I have one at home for my guitar amp. I recall seeing a similar stand where the arms are on a hinge and fold which would be better.

I use an Audio 2000S heavy duty short speaker stand with a K&M 26747 shelf. The legs are orange to keep you from tripping over them. Steel, not aluminum. Very strong, exactly the right size and height for my Roy amp, and easy to break down and transport. It looks like this:

Are you using the amp to fill the room or purely as a monitor in association with a PA? I know you've mentioned as a monitor but checking for clarity.
If this is your only amplification then you're pointing it at the audience and standing in front/side them a table is cool. I use one of these for PA, height adjustable (perfect for cases below), solid and smaller versions are available: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ca...HslkbVcdlRa5rM If this is your monitor only then consider an amp stand that tips it back so it's pointing at your head. This is important for a couple of reasons. If it's hitting the back of your knees but you can hear enough then you can be pretty sure there's a beam of shrill high frequency going out into the room and ruining someone's night. If your PA speakers are a couple of feet in front then your amp sound is hitting the audience a couple of m/secs later than the PA. This is a common issue with low frequency comb filtering but at high frequency just mashes up your transients and smears your picking sound all over the place (more at greater distances, of course). Solution? Delay the FOH by 1m/s per foot if you have a digi-mixer, or point the amp back at you.
