You probably have seen Bonamassa do this… and probably many others. The idea is to use them to control volume and the speaker beam.

So… I am extremely conscious of the audience sound experience, I also hate tilting amps.. it gives me a fake sound… so… what’s the solution? Plexi screens.

This is a very inexpensive mod to your rig that you’ll reaps the benefit very quick! These screens will make the sound much more filling, and more importantly… you’ll hear yourself better. If you are using a combo amp… 1×12 or 2×12… I recommend you try using a plexi screen, not only for live situations but also at home. It reduces the total volume (I can’t tell you how much… but it does) and also it allows you to place your amp maybe in a more convenient way (out of your way) and still be able to hear it well.

On the image above you can see my katana covered by two plexi screens.
