A steeler friend of mine who is in the Army made this for me and is making a few more. I think it's cool, and you don't have to deface the amp, as it uses the top corner guard screw, made of stiff aluminum.
I think I paid about $30.00 for it.

I like this design and I have my order in for a pair of them for my N–112's.

I don't think any one-person would have enough time to supply protectors for all of the 112's out there! And the number of existing units seems to be growing every day!

My testing of a similar design did not fair as well in a "face-plant" knock over situation as my current model Knob Guard does, but hey it's your amp, just do something to protect the knobs.

I think one or two more evenly-spaced screws on top should strengthen it enough to avoid any flex during a fall! “It will all come out in the wash”!

It would be good if Peavey would take the hint and start making the amp cabinets accordingly, like the older amps like the LTD 400, Session 400, etc. I guess there was a reason for the cut-out along the top front edge, but it seems hazardous to knobs, for sure.

Make sure those 1 or 2 extra screws do not go through the top of the cabinet and cause a problem in the electronics. That is why my Knob Guard mounts to the front edge of the amp top, and so that impact in a face plant does not snap off the screw head with the edge of the hole in the guard its self.
