Alternative to GRAMMA pad?

[solo4652]

Is there something cheap 'n' cheerful that does what an Auralex GRAMMA pad does, but without the bulk, weight and cost? Maybe a roll-up mat or something?

Maybe I'm just being stingy.

The weight and bulk is pretty minimal, but I know they're expensive for what they are. You could get a couple of strips of the acoustic foam and just place it under your cab. That would cost about £10-£15.

looks as if it should work.

I've been using a pair of Auralex strips about 3"X1" cross section to lift the cab off the floor, and it works perfectly. Got them from Alex Claber at Barefaced, but I don't know if he sells the stuff separately from his cabs.

I slip them between the front and back of my micro amp and the laptop carry case as extra padding. Works a treat.
