Thoughts concerning the stopper

Hi there just curious about the stopper. Different materials and shapes have a different effect on the sound? A sound-reflective plate or something-similar can improve or change the sound?

Re: reverb

hi folks
i actually play through a cheap (but good) microphone, a Zoom G1X multieffect and a handmade tube amp taht i use with my electric mandolin as well.
