I have generally been using a gator amp stand which is fine although a bit too wobbly for my taste. Also tried the StandBack which I find a bit of a faff at quick setup gigs.
So now onto tilt back legs. 1 less thing to carry and forget. Are there any non fender tilt back legs I can attach to my Mesa 112 combo?

I don't mind drilling the amp as it's so perfect for me, I will never ever ever sell it. (yeah right!)
But seriously, I don't mind drilling tilt back legs on it - just don't want then to be fender branded - that would look silly.

Is there a gap in the market here? How come no-one else does the same? (Wish I had done metalwork at school)

You're basically making an apex roof inside your amp to collect the heat - I was amazed at the difference in temperature.
I'm not sure if drilling a row of vent holes through the top of the baffle behind the grille cloth would allow enough heat out - it might be worth a try. I wouldn't expect a row of fairly small holes to affect the sound.

@Chris_J - There's not always a suitable chair to stand on. Amp is quite deep and on casters. And in IMHO it looks crap.
@Gagaryn - I think that maybe for a couple of hours gig use, it will be fine
@ICBM - whilst I am willing to put a few holes in the side for tilt legs, I wouldn't drill a load of vent holes.
The general consensus (and own experience) is that raising or tilting is better than on the floor so I will keep doing that. I just thought tilt back legs may be an easy solution but with all you experts - I'm having doubts although if I found non Fender ones I would still try.

I prefer the sound with the amp raised, it both avoids pointing the speakers right at your ears and also decouples the low-end from the stage, which is what you want to get a good mix with the bass amp (which should be on the floor), it actually takes up less stage space, and the amp doesn't overheat. And you can still get at the controls more easily and put your capo/picks etc on top of the amp .
