Archtop Sound Too Boomy at High Volume

[Cunamara]

Thanks everyone, I guess it’s just the plight of playing an archtop through a 12” open back. I want to avoid having to pack an EQ pedal if possible. I like being as minimal as possible. Is there a tilt back amp stand that people would recommend? I want something minimal enough that I can take it out without adding too much bulk to my rig.

Put it up on a folding chair? That will decouple the amp from the floor and reduce the bass. Of course, also roll the bass knob down to 0.

I cut a single section of cheap foam anti-fatigue floor mat to fit just under my amp, and when the woof situation occurs, this will uncouple the amp from the floor and isolate the resonance. Easier to lug and use than a chair/stool/stand or tilt back legs.
