CP Hinge Front or Back?
acevedor2:
Ok, this may sund like a dumb question, but is there a reason everyone hinges their CP at the front? It would seem more intuitive that you would hinge it that the back so you could lift it up in the front when needd.
The only reason I can see that it would be hinged in the back is because it might interfere with the cab when you try to open it. Again, this is my first cab so I would like your thoughts. Thanks as always for the expert advice!

Convenience and ergonomics -- it is much easier to work on something that flips out clear of the cabinet to horizontal towards you than flips up to the vertical in front of the cabinet further away from you.
Cheers.

When you open the top you want it to go past top dead center to stay open. That would cause controls to hit the monitor and or sides of the cab... and it might not stay open on its own.
Usually you don't need to get in there too much to do wiring and such.

Great reasons, thanks. I just wanted to make sure before I installed the piano hinge. Cheers,

Oh. I hadn't noticed this. Good idea. I was considering this feature, but then thought 'well, what will it be good for, really?'. Mmm?
