Millenium Amp Clamp 2-stars Reviews

Can't keep mics in place

Like others have said, the bendable arm is too weak to support a mic like the sm57, or pretty much anything else. It even collapses on itself just ajdusting it before being mounted. Go for a stiff arm instead, like the cab grabber. What you lose in flexability you gain in it actually working.

Barely functional

The clamp instals easily but only on small speaker cabs due to limited grip. The spring that holds the clamp makes the strange sound when the amb is being played(!) sonuns like spring reverb. Funny effect but certainly unwanted. The movement of the gooseneck is limited and the neck keeps comming back to its initial position. Hence the clamp is barely functional.

Almost unusable..

Mine is almost unusable. Clamping to cabinet is OK, but the gooseneck doesn't keep the mic holder in stable position.

Pretty bad

I found to my huge surprise that it's incapable of holding up an SM57... It hangs down under its weight. That's a deal-breaker if there ever was one.

Not really fit for purpose

I've tried this with a couple of mics, and it can't hold anything in place. The gooseneck bends back out towards straight, and you can't easily fit an alternative as it's a female connector on the clamp (the supplied goose neck is male-male). It's a shame, as it's a great idea in theory, it just doesn't quite work.

ive used this with my marshall 1960B 4x12, it has to be stretched to its full extent to clamp on my cab. feels like it may fall apart soon,

Fits fine, but doesn't stay in place

bought 2 of these to minimize the amount of stands on stage when performing.

Fits nicely on our fender twinreverb amps with the clamp.

The downside is that the gooseneck doesn't stay in place during a concert. We've tried different placements on the amp, but all with the result that the gooseneck straightens a bit over time and mic is therefore no longer in place causíng the sound to alter or not being there at all!!!

maybe you get what you pay for?

Not strong enough

This seemed to be a godsend for me, as I record much at home and would love to have a permanent mic setup on my amp. Sadly, this device can't even hold the weight of an SM57 and won't stay in position when I set it up.

If you get a good position and never, ever move your amp or mic, this is the product for you. However, do not expect it to work for gigging or experimenting with mic placement.

Not sturdy

The amp clamp is simply not sturdy enough. The goose neck can't even hold up a SM57. And that has to be classified as a standard microphone for amp cabinets. But I did buy an amp stand aswell, and when the amp is angled backwards, it's easier to position the mic, since the ampclamp doesn't have to fight gravity as much.

If you want a steady ampclamp, that just works, buy the audix one instead.

I was very disappointed in how this microphone holder was constructed. The gooseneck does not hold its position at all. When micing a guitar cabinet, even a small (1-2 centimeters) change in the position of the microphone can make a significant change in the sound. With this device, it is impossible to position a microphone accurately, or to adjust its position. The gooseneck is not strong enough to properly support, for example, an sm57.

Has some flaws

A clamp-on mic stand for the gutar amp is very practical for many situations. I'm using the Millennium Amp Clamp during rehershals and plan on using it live too. It's very easy to mount and there is no risk of bumping it out of position.

There are two flaws with the construction. First, the gooseneck is not flexible enough and tends to flex back when you try to position it. It's difficult to get it to point exactly where you want it to point. I'm going to replace it with a better goose neck (any mic stand goose neck should be possible to mount).

Second, I would have wanted it to be able to accept wider cabinets. My fellow guitarist in the band has an Orange 2x12 cab, and it's too wide for the amp clamp.

In summary, it's a nice product, but make sure your cabinet is narrow enough, and you need to plan on replacing the goose neck.

Not very good

Using it with SHURE SM57.

If the clamp is located on the sides it cant hold the mic. The clamp must be put on top of the amp, but still the goose neck is very shaky.
