Re: back in rack heaven

Looking forward to seeing the board. I just picked up some wood for mine.

Killer work on that tap tempo box too. Looks nice!

Re: Please take a look at my mock up before I wire?

Ok, so I drilled holes in the shelves and velcro'd everything up. The pedal power is about 85% done. The power pops up through the holes so I can keep those neatly away from the audio cables. Mistakes made today: Ran out of velcro and had to go back to store Should have drilled holes pre velcro Shou...

Re: Please take a look at my mock up before I wire?

To be fair, you're probably not going to have loads of wiring to do. Personally I would wire a midi socket to the patch panel...... and for the sake of around $3 You might as well seeing as you've got one. try and mount as much as you can on the panel. That way, once you've secured all your cabling...

Re: Please take a look at my mock up before I wire?

Hi, So you've decided on having the patch panel on the front..... Fair play :) Only my advice, and take it or leave it.... Have you wired all the rack units for power yet?.... If not I'd wire power first before you even consider wiring audio. Then wire your midi connections if you're not going dire...

Please take a look at my mock up before I wire?

Hi Folks, I've finally got the correct rack shelves (Gator shelves) and put the pedals in the layout I think makes the most sense. A 1-Spot Pro CS12 will mount to the shelf on the back (hard to see in pic) as well as the wall warts for the GCXs. There's a space holder for my Lexicon MPX1 that I have...

Re: back in rack heaven

I've just realised, I've got to change the patch panel on my rack from an 8 hole to a 10 hole. I need another power outlet from the rack to the pedalboard to power the ISO5.... Dammit!! I was actually wondering that when I scrolled down to this post!! Still looks awesome. Due to ordering parts whil...

The shelf I used in my rack was fully adjustable for deep or shallow racks, and has rack ears front and back so it's supported front and back. it has locking screws on the side, s...

Re: back in rack heaven

Awesome thanks for that. After watching the video and checking out his site it doesn't seem that hard. That will be phase two. Sliding rack shelves, power conditioner, pedal power supply, second gcx and cable should all be here by Friday!
