Rather than place the footers under your factory feet, we suggest placing the footers directly in contact with the amp chassis: one near each corner, and optionally one under the middle. Some components have factory feet that are taller than Herbie’s footers, so they will not contact the chassis without a boost. Removing the factory feet is one option, but be sure that the screws are replaced if they are holding anything together inside. Or you can give the footers a boost by placing them on small wooden blocks or tiles. Combat Boots can be double-stacked. Herbie’s footers almost always work best when directly contacting the component chassis. This allows them to effectively reduce internally borne vibrations. If you have no alternative, go ahead and place the footers under your factory feet, you’ll get at least some isolation benefit.
