Can you put studio foam on a guitar amp instead of the walls?

I am in a garage band and the echo in the garage kills the music. I am going to buy studio foam to help keep the echo out but if I attached the foam to the speaker of the guitar amp, would it do the same as if I attached in on the walls?


Answer
Hello! No, the foam added to the speaker will only serve to directionalize the sound coming from the amplifier; it will do nothing to help mitigate the reflected frequencies in your garage (well, maybe it will make them bounce around a bit more!). Even if you put it right in front of the speaker cone, it will only muffle the sound, which when you turned it up to hear better, would still resound off the garage walls. Use foam, area rugs (hung vertically), and even furniture to help absorb the sound. Best regards, Dana
