I love what I'm hearing about it, what a great sounding amp. One question, I see where Doc has mentioned that it's a very good idea to maintain airflow for cooling. I have a tilt back leg that clamps to the top of the cab, and lets me lean it back about 45 degrees like the Fender tilt back legs. Will angling the cab back trap too much hot air? Doc, if you'd chime in I'd really appreciate it.

Anybody? How hot do these guys get? I use mine on a stand that tilts back 45 degrees. Never a problem.

I've tilted mine back a small amount and never had an issue. You can always run a small fan behind it if needed though.

Dave I have never tilted the CURE 45 degrees and ran it that way for hours at a time so I can't comment from experience. You do realize the CURES cab has a tilted baffle so the sound naturally projects up. All I can say is I don't see it being a problem , as long as the amp is properly ventilated .

Thanks, Doc. I set up like this because I'm back with the trumpets, buried behind the trombones and saxophones onstage. It's personal care like this that makes me a loyal customer (well, plus I think you build the best amps on the planet...). When I get it I'll run some tests and check the chassis temp with the amp on all four feet, then after it's been tilted for an hour or so.

I thought people tilted their Z amps back to keep others from setting a drink on them. ;>)

In case anyone else was wondering, I've been running the Cure tilted back with no problems at all. I don't notice much if any difference in operating temperature, and I've had it onstage fired up for up to three or four hours without problem. Like Doc says above, leave proper room for ventilation, but I've had it within six inches of the back wall, and it's not been a problem at all.

Standback and a fan--can't go wrong there.

That is a big no-no in my books. I had a cup load of beer thrown in the grill of my amp at a rowdy wedding dance while we were playing. The amp was a reissue twin. I halted the proceedings--I was steamed and told them if this happened again, we were packing up and leaving. I was very lucky that nothing happened to the amp. It was a booger to clean up though. Not long after this happened, we were packing up after a gig and I had put my amp in my road case to load into the trailer and did not latch the locks. The drummer tried to load the case and of course the amp fell out onto the concrete floor. I think that amp had a curse on it. Anyone sets a drink on my amp, they will get the stink eye and a big lecture from me.
