i didn't want to spend 50 bucks so i went to a fabric store and got a 5 inch thick piece of foam and put my ampeg on it. it was still 30 bucks and i got something bigger then what i needed incase i get a bigger amp.

if you want to add a little clearity, alot of volume and avoid room buzz it works.

Agree completely, the Auralex product. or home-made amp stand, provides a clear sonic improvement.

I considered gluing some gardening knee pads (dense foam) to a piece of 1/2" ply or OSB. Instead I spent the money and bought Auralex stands.

They do work to reduce sympathetic low frequency induction into the floor or stage, dramatically reducing sonic "mud".
