Don't bother with cab grabber
Summary:
Save yourself some money, but this instead of the cab grabber
Use:
Busy pub covers band. This gets bashed around weekly. It's survived drunks kicking at it*, me loading it carelessly, the amp falling on it... it's a great piece of kit
Quality:
It's just as good as a cab grabber. The goose neck isn't quite as stiff, so you have to spend maybe 10 seconds more getting it in position, but honestly, what were you going to do with those ten seconds? Look at facebook? This is perfect for purpose
*Drunks kicking it: I don't know what it is that enrages the inebriates of this world about an amp clamp, but it does. Any time a drunk person sees it, they just want to punt it! Same for the cab grabber. This has stood up to three punts. I still have a spare though.
Seriously, great great product

Works well (if a bit fiddly)
I leave this in my pedalboard case along with an MB75 (Thomann's excellent SM57 clone). It's much easier to carry, and quicker to set up, than a normal mic stand.
It's merely "OK" in terms of how well it holds the mic in place. I never worry that it will fall off, but it can fall a small distance before it settles in its final position, due to a combination of the spring tension and slighly weak gooseneck.
This is easy to work around - just put it on a tiny bit higher than where you'd like the mic to end up, and it will sink to the correct place. And for the price, this is definitely a reasonable compromise.
I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who needs to mic up a guitar or bass amp but doesn't want to carry a heavy mic stand around all the time.

Great space saver on stage
Great product for on stage use. Takes up less space than a bulky mic stand on stage and allows you to get the mic into the perfect position on the speaker.
I've used the clamp on a few different combo's and cabs and it's fit fine on them all.

Handy bit of kit
Good strong spring.
The clamps are hard plastic.
It won't support a heavy LDC but for most mics i.e a SM57 it'll hold it in place.

Fits Sennheiser E609 Perfectly!!!
The clamp is sturdy and because of the goose neck, you can position a 'non-regular' amp mic like the Sennheiser E609 or E906 in an excellent position, even touching the grill if you are into that kind of setting.
Other reviews stated that the goose neck don't hold mics properly as it's not strong, I have no issues whatsoever, the mic stays in perfect place in my rehearsal room as well as on stage.
I use is in several cabs and combos with the exact same excellent results.
Cabs Used:
- Jet City 24S+ (2x12)
- Blackstart HT-408 (4x8)
Amps Used:
- Marshall Mini Jubilee 2525C
- Fender Bassbreaker 15 Combo

Great in all settings
Does exactly as it says, fits my AC30, AC15 and Blues Junior. Very flexible and versatile.
Works well in a studio setting but has saved me time on live work too, saves an extra couple of precious minutes during setup time,
Highly recommended.

ABSOLUTE LIFESAVER IN THE STUDIO AND ON STAGE!
What a fantastic mic stand, it holds the mic perfectly.
So much freedom for adjustability, I'm sure both Shure and Sennheiser style microphones would work very well with this.
Pro's:
-very adjustable
-affordable
-solidly built
-easy to use
-solid packaging
-saves space on stage
-great for consistent mic placement in the studio
Cons:
-NONE!
5/5 stars would buy again.

Excellent for quick guitar mic'ing
This is well made and does the job really well. I imagine it would fit on most combo amps as well as guitar cabs. It can be a little awkward to position at the right angle and it sometimes moves a little. It's much better that the hassle of using a full mic stand. Great price!
