Build: 5U case for kemper + remote and expression pedal

Hi all,

Since the mission engineering stuff is too expensive to ship overseas, I thought I'd start building my own case today.

I'm using 19mm MDF so it ends up being quite heavy. Don't mind that though and then there is room for the remote and the expression pedal in the back.

I will be covering this with black croc. tolex and add a handle, and rubber feet. Don't know if I'll add chrome corners just yet.

Sorry for the bad image quality - lost my real phone at Copenhell a few weeks ago

Get a good handle man that's gonna be heavy

Will do Still not heavy compared to a combo so it'll be fine.

Quote from paults

I suggest TWO handles - one on each side.

Thanks for the suggestion but I prefer being able to lift it with one hand while the remote is in the back (will add a lip to the back)

Quote from P3t3rB

I'd make the base of the unit run the full width rather than build it like shown, otherwise any weight pushing down will on the fixing points.

Yes. I realised that too late. It has got three screws plus glue so I doubt it will be a real issue though.

Covered with Tolex today:

Looked easier on YouTube :). Next up handle and rubber feet. Probably won't add corners just yet.

Very cool!
