I bought this to protect my Handwired Vox AC30 at home. Not only does this case protect the beautiful Tolex covering and keep the dust out, it also makes it a lot easier to move this very heavy amp around. The best thing is that once the amp is inside, you only have to lift the cover to use it, you don't have to lift it out; the amp is also off the floor and because of that, probably sounds better too. In my opinion, if you value your amp, it is well worth the extra cost of buying this case for it.
