Fender Steel King with Tilt back Legs

Recently installed a pair of Fender tilt back legs on my Steel King. I think it helps to project the sound. Similar to those found on the Twin reverb. Cost about $40.00, just Google Fender Tilt back legs.several Guitar supply houses carry them.

Looks nice.

I just pop out the rear casters to get the tilt-back effect. (Or is that affect?)

. . . the tilt-back effect. (Or is that affect?)

Well, it could depend on how the tilt-back effect affects you, I think.

I think it affects me in a positive way.

Those tilt-back legs give it a bit of a vintage look. Now, go get some "chicken-head" knobs to complete the look.

I put "chicken-head" knobs on my FSK quite some time ago. I like the way they look and, on a dark stage, it's easy to feel the position of the knob.

The tilt-back legs also come in different sizes. Here's a shorter pair on my 20 watt Princeton Reverb.

Could the tilt-back-legs also work on Peavey amps? NV 112 or NV 1000?

DB, don't see any reason why not!

After seeing this topic, I ordered a set of 14 inch Fender Tiltback Legs . They went on my Nashville 112 very easy and work and look great.( got them from MF)

I put some 19" legs on my SteelKing and my back says "Thank you" in a clear voice. It's a long way from the floor to an amp stand. Like the sound just as well with the amp tilted back.

Gary, where did you purchase the 14" tilt-back legs?

Dennis Wallis · Post by **Dennis Wallis** » 23 Oct 2008 11:09 am

There is usually all sizes on Ebay.

Like Lee, I just pop the rear casters out.........seems to work pretty well. Looks like the tilt-back legs get it back a bit more.

very interesting---------

Does anyone have fender tilt backs on a
Peavey 1000? If so, what length did you get?

Thanks
Darrell

For a Deluxe Reverb go with the 14"ers. There are three sizes IIRC... the 14's are the shortest.
