Pro -
Did you get the 1/2" thick padded LeCover or did you get the standard Road Cover? The padded one looked a little bulky but I sure hear what you're saying about the exposed front grill. I'm planning on ordering one of those covers next week.
Man, you must be one strong dude. I'm 6'2 and weight 235 and STILL think that darn amp is cumbersome and heavy. Maybe it's time for me to start bulking up!
Good luck with that gig tonight. I wish you the best.
