I removed the chassis to make things easier. If you do this, please take care not to touch the components inside the chassis even when it is unplugged because there is a risk of electrical shock.
2 years later and you're still helping people. Thanks for the Post brother just purchased a fender tone master and put the short 14-inch legs on it fit like a glove
Thanks for this ‘how to’ video. I managed to successfully install - with father in law on hand - Fender amp legs to my Blues Junior following your suggestions.
John .... thanks so much for this video! I have a Silverface Fender Twin Reverb from the 70s with tilt-back legs and almost always used them. I intend to get a 64 Custom Deluxe in the near future. I had just done a search in RUclips to see if anyone did a video on installation of the legs. You saved me a lot of headache .... plus maybe keeping me from screwing it up. You're a God-send. I very much appreciate this video. Thumbs up & subscribed ...
Thank you! I think this is the best of the installation videos I have seen. After installing 14" legs on my Fender SuperChamp, I have one additional bit of advice: Start by checking the rear feet on the amp to make sure they are equidistant from the back panel, since that creates the pivot point for the amp. Mine weren't and after measuring and drilling everything meticulously, I couldn't understand why one leg was 1/8" off the floor. Once I realized the feet were misaligned, I repositioned one of them and that fixed the problem. Mine were so off, I had to re-drill the hole for the foot I moved, but there's often a wide enough tolerance between the hole and the screw to allow you to loosen one or both back feet and then slide them one way or the other to get them in alignment. Slide the foot on the high side towards the center of the amp and/or the foot on the low side towards the edge of the amp to get both tilt-back legs on the floor and eliminate any rocking. Also, be aware that if you change feet on the amp, that will affect the angle of tilt-back. If you go to a higher foot, you'll get more tilt-back, and if you go to a lower foot, you'll get less tilt-back and potentially not have enough to get past the center of gravity.
Nice video, John. I have a '68 Custom Vibrolux and would like tilt-back legs as well. Are the Deluxe and Vibrolux cabinets about the same size / height? I'm having trouble finding a definite answer as to what size legs I need. Probably 14" - wouldn't you say? My cabinet is roughly 18" high, so I guess either one would work (14" or !6"). I like the looks of your 14" legs and it seems like they are the perfect size. Thanks, John!
Hi Fred. The DRRI is 17.5" high so 14" should work for you. You could drop the leg down 1/2" if your cabinet is an inch or more bigger. I don't think I would use the 16" legs. Thanks for your question and good luck!
Hi. I’m not sure. I would first mark the hole location with tape (do not drill). Then see if the legs will fit vertically on the amp, and if they have room to swing back without scraping the floor. If they do, then you should be good and you can set your angle for the stops. Please post your findings so other folks will know if the 16” legs are an option.
@@jacksguitarplanet Hi, the 16" legs will work perfectly, they won't scrape on the floor, I'll find the best angle and install, thank you very much for the feedback. My amp on a fender deluxe 112 plus Its measurements are: Height:16-1/2”(41.9cm) Width:20-5/8”(50.5cm) Depth:9”(22.9cm)
You're welcome. You probably know but I think the HRD would use the 16" legs. I am not sure so please check it out before you buy them. I use the metric system when I set my guitar up, I don't know why I used inches here. Probably because of my ruler. I will update the info to include metric measurements. Good luck!
@@jacksguitarplanet Thanks. From what I saw, either 14 or 16" work, just have to set them properly. (As here: ruclips.net/video/2kt5oSRDoXE/видео.html) And no worries, imperial conversion is a good exercise for fractions, haven't practiced since school! :D

Excellent! Glad to hear it and cool amp!
Did you have to pull the chassis? That was a Tone Master Deluxe?
@@Johnnypro I don’t think you have to pull the chassis. I did it because I had never done it before. My amp was a 68 custom reissue
@@jacksguitarplanet Thanx!!

Cool to know it can work on a blues jr too. Glad to help!

You're welcome, glad to help. I could not find a video either :)
Perfect measurements for my Tone Master Deluxe Reverb and so easy to install successfully at first attempt. Thanks for the instructions.
Excellent. Glad to hear it. And thank you for the comment. I was hoping that it worked for the tone master. Now we know 😁
@@jacksguitarplanet It doesn’t require any of the electronics to be removed on the Tone Master as there’s plenty of room up inside the casing.
@@ianhartland9892 Cool. Good to know.

Perfekt!😀 Mit dieser Anleitung passt es.👍
Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
Glad to hear it!
Used your exact measurements and approach and it was perfect. Thank you so much!
Excellent! Glad to help!
Nice! I’m about to do my install…
Thanks very much for sharing, very helpful!
You’re welcome!
Very helpful, some good insights! Thanks for this!
You're welcome!
Thank you! This was super helpful.
Good to hear!
Super thanks.
You’re welcome
Do you think the same legs could fit a fender champion 100? I have problems getting my amp monitored at stage and the amp stand here is expensive
@@Headbutter-Lettuce90 What is the size of your amp?
Where did you buy the tilt-bak legs? Thanks for sharing this
Amazon. You're welcome.
One of these things here is a frameing square , is that a 12" speaker ? Looks bigger in the video than a 12"
Yes it is the stock Celestion 12" speaker. It probably looks bigger because the head is out of the cabinet.
Thanks for watching!

Now, FINALLY, a practical use for having to learn Pythagoras' Theory at school !!!!!
Man - I owe you a beer! haha Thanks
Glad to help!
GOOD MORNING, I PURCHASED THE 16" LEGS I HAVE A FENDER DELUXE 112 PLUS AMPLIFIER, IT'S HEIGHT IS 41CM WILL THE 16" LEGS WORK?

I definitely will never understand a thing about imperial measurements! 😅

I used the 14” legs.
