Longitudinal coupled bunch instabilities play an increasingly important role in present high energy proton accelerators. A stabilization method at low cost is the modulation of the RF amplitude. Experience gained at the HERA proton ring and the SPS will be presented. In case the LHC will suffer unexpected from longitudinal coupled bunch instabilities, such a method - if technical possible - could be of interest.
