uke Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 (edited) On louder gigs I prefer the Midget cab on its side to match the width of my Aggie, (this would be the case also with the Compact!) but my Shuttle head wont sit right on the handle! I ordered some Platfoam blocks at the time I ordered the cab but they seem to be out of stock, so I've been getting by with various makeshift bits of foam, but the eureka moment came when I was in Poundland a couple of days ago and I spotted this laptop cooler fan/stand! with blue led's powered by usb! I thought fab, I'll rip the gubbins out and use it as an amp stand on the cab, then came my pimp my cab moment when I remembered I had a small mains usb adaptor (£6 maplins) plugged it in and you can see the result in the photos, looks very cool!.... (well it is as the wee fan can only be doing it good) and all for a pound Edited July 11, 2011 by uke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 What a cool workaround and only a quid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 That is very cool in a 'Close Encounters' kind of way! Good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzMike Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Do the heads stay on under gig conditions? I've had my Shuttle 6.0 vibrated off the top of my cabs before. I had to buy a 'rock towel' (black hand towel) to place underneath it to hold it steady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mart Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I had a similar problem, so knocked up a stand with a couple of bits of wood, but this is much cooler! I think I'm going to be heading off to Poundland very soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 could do with one of them, what make are they? and is the fan loud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 My dad and brother both have those for their laptops/netbooks, quite useful bits of kit actually. Good way to use them actually, its something i never thought of. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
