Dumb Statement/Question, but I sort of had a revalation today. I was playing my MAZ JR. 1x12 (tapping on the tubes to locate a microphnic tube) and the back of the amp just happened to be facing ear level for me. As I was playing and trying to locate this tube rattle, I noticed that I really loved the tone more with the back of the amp facing towards me. It had more thump, a fuller sound and of course less piercing highs. I find my MAZ to be a little on the bright and piercing side sometimes. Does anyone prefer to do this when playing anyone play their amp live with the back facing towards them. I can't wait to try this in a live situation? Just Curious

Yeah, but it's in front of me! Almost every gig I play, my Z-28 combo is in front of me, facing the audiance, and the back facing me. It's like having my amp in the monitor mix, without over-powering the other players.

I think John Mayer does this with his amps. Roy Buchanan used to run his amp backwards as well.
