This might not be the end of me buying rack cases even though I own multiples.

Not sure if this is a problem; just needed to share

I’m looking around for something with the Axe too. 3U is awkward starting point.

 

[James Freeman]

Mee too.
3u or 4u?

The more I think about it; the more I think a single 3u for the III then another small 3u for whatever else so I can make it a bit modular. A 4u with the III and an audio patch bay would be cool though? I can't pull myself away from playing through the damn thing (and updating firmwares and editors) to contemplate the connectivity logistics that would make the most sense

I'd recommend 4u I think. It's not that much bigger and gives you the chance to expand if you wanted instead of being locked in at 3u and then having to but another rack if you change your mind. I often see a power conditioner in the open slot (or a patch bay)

 

[James Freeman]

Modern hardware doesn't need a power conditioner and I don't need a wireless system or cable space. Most power amps are 2U and 6U racks are huge and heavy. For me I think 3U just for the axe fx will be just right.

Yeah this is where I'm leaning currently. Once I let it creep out; it'll balloon up to an 8u before I know it.

 

[James Freeman]

Yeah the tendency is not to leave open slots and fill them with useless things like a power conditioner because everybody else does.

 

[Boudoir Guitar]

I like the idea of a 6u with front-facing I/o and use an angled amp stand for it in the jam room.

 

[FuzzyAce]

It's easier and cheaper to build one. But I have a hunch JT should stay away from power tools.

Hey I resoldered a pickup!

 

[JiveTurkey]

As I've been using the III; a(nother) PS100 seems like a pretty good idea

On the topic at hand; I'll probably just put the III and GM in a case, then a single 112 on too with whatever head at the time on top of that. Provided the 112 feels stable on the rack.
