follow up after use
Quality:
seems nice for $50
Sound:
I think the clarity improves a little and any woofy bass is reduced. I would say if you are on a hard floor or wood the effect would be more apparent. On carpet, not so much.
Overall:
premise is sound, effect is stubtle. Do not expect a night day result.
Tone:
Not a must have piece but if you are playing off a wood or hard reflective floor I ould say it would be very good to have.
Finish:
Nice looking, basically a particle board on top, thick, seems strong, underside is heavy foam and a wedge baffle. It sits on a dense foam not rubber or wood.
Action:
a litle bummed it is shorter than my 4x12 cab, I expected it to hold the cab, perhap the notion was for the cab to sit flat and not be on its rubber pads or to prevent someone from not removing the casters. An air gap might ruin the dampening effect, I am guessing as to their design purpose.

heard about these from Bonamassa
Quality:
Seems fort rate to me.
Sound:
Keeps the floor from effecting the tone. I am happy with it, Bonamassa swears by them for live and recording.
Reliability:
Seems like a wood platform to me w sonics. Cannot see why it would bend unless someone got the board wet or damp?? Particle board sort of desintigrates when wet.
Overall:
does what it claims
allows you to get the bad off the casters and off the floor.
Playability and Feel:
Gets the floor woof or reflectance off the amp interaction.
Finish:
Looks like a little pedal board
Action:
Cool for me, for $50 a decent gamble, I dig it

Works Great For Me
Quality:
This is a really nice product. I'm surprised they can sell it for only $50.
Reliability:
I set my 75 lb bass cab on it and it didn't bow, so I tried sitting on the cab (I weigh 200 lbs) and the Gramma could handle it just fine.
Overall:
My recording room is sympathetic to A. That means when I played a low A note the whole room would rattle and quake. Problem solved.
Playability and Feel:
Don't expect this to cure every problem, the Gramma is only one important part of the solution. Use the Gramma in conjunction with poper room treatment for best results. Don't rely on foam traps, get ones constructed from rigid fiberglass board like the Ready Acoustics Chameleon bass traps or similar for best results.
Tone:
Tightened up the bass and decreased the "mud".
