It's not just that though... even a slight lift of a few inches so it decouples from the floor helps - it starts to roll off the bottom octave. In a band situation, you really want to do this - it helps naturally separate the guitar from the bass (the bass amp should always be fully down on the floor, for the opposite reason) and produces a better mix where you can hear both instruments clearly without them fighting for volume or needing to EQ them at the desk to fix it. For a combo or a 2x12" cab I prefer them with the speakers up at about waist height to me, for a 4x12" just its own wheels is sometimes enough, or beer crate height if not.
(Of course this may not apply if you play in one of those new-fangled bands where guitar is a sort of pseudo-bass/tuned percussion instrument .)

But the stool height really made a big difference (waste height as you suggest), I assume just near my ears? I may get a tilt back thang. Or accept it sounds better to listeners than to me (still steadfastly sticking to my assumption that I sound good ha ha)

I'm slightly excited, and very confused now having to change my sound Maybe I've just been 'cutting through the mix hey

What are these 'crowds' you speak of??
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
The more close the beam of the speaker is to your ears the more high end you'll hear.
When it's firing at your knees you are not hearing the high end so well.
This is the reason I started to put my jcm800 combo on top of an old solid state bass amp when I play with my band. It just sounds better with it up off the floor. The bass amp looks cooler than a beer crate too.
Thanks, yes that's what I found.

Can you make that microphone move? You know, flap out and back? I can't see where the volume is but give it a try. Nice amp and guitar, and I agree, it looks great on top of another marshall
