It would be better if you continued this sort of question in the original thread. But anyway…

An amp cover is just what it says. It is a cover for your amp. You know, a plastic fitted cover to cover up your amp, to protect it from getting scratched up, or to prevent it from getting wet when you roll it out to your van when it’s raining.
