What I am using for case and stand

jeff5x0 · Feb 26th 2012

Sorry guys about the quality of the video. I forget sometimes how dark my studio is. When I get the rest of my rig later this week, Ill move it to a lighter room so you guys can see more detail of what I got going on. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Thanks Mr. Pollock (I hope Im spelling that right) for your photo of your rig. It inspired me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx02RbU8muw&feature=youtu.be

Sweet! That looks great for the case, stand and that midi controller is excellent, might have to check that out. Thanks

Thanks brother. Btw, if anyone does get the Midi Raider and needs help with it, Id be more than happy to help. I can help set you up through Skype or some other IM service. Im a noob to midi, but this thing just isnt that hard to set up.

Lookin' good.

Excellent! I had the same idea today but did not realized it yet. How big are the gaps left and right from the KPA?
My idea is to but my 9,5'' wireless unit there. So if the gap is >= 44.45mm (thats 1"HE" in Europe) it will fit
And still one "gap" left for an in-ear mixer or whatever....
/EDIT: Which SKB model do you use exactly?

jeff5x0 · Feb 27th 2012

http://www.zzounds.com/item--SKBXRACK4. There is about 2" on either side. There is not alot of room for anything else. I figured Id have plenty of room on the back side for stuff, but when you run cables in there for 2 stereo outs, and a monitor out, you cant really put anything on the back side. My wireless is super small (Line 6 G 30) and it wont even fit on the back side. This isnt a real deep rack space. Which is really what I kinda like about it. The Kemper "just" fits in there top to bottom and there is about 2" left on either side.

Hey Jeff, thank you very much! The SKB XRACK 4 will just fit the KPA and some cables I guess.
My idea is to take an 5HE Rack like this one (Thon RACK 5U ECO II 35)
screwing the KPA in like you did and have 1HE space left for my wireless unit. My Gordius Little Giant Footcontroller will fit
in the back of the case for transport. And if I'll find a case with rack bars in the back i could make the power distribution
with my rack power distribution unit. Cool things will happen soon ...

AWESOME!!!! Let me know if you need any help, though you are probably way more crafty with midi then Ill ever be!

Thanks! You never know ....1 question: can you set the AI (stomps and fx on/off) just once as global setting (and leave just the lower row for PC) or do you need to do it for every "group" (up/down)? With the 5 switch per row I want to set the following:

X Mod Dly Rev Tuner
A B C D Tap
Rig1 Rig2 Rig3 Rig4 Rig5

jeff5x0 · Feb 27th 2012

Yes you can have them as global settings, or for each individual preset. I use global. So every one of my presets that I switch to has the exact same stomps assigned to the exact same switch. You can set it up exactly as described in your post. I have mine set up similar

Top row Mod/Delay/Reverb/Tuner/Tap
2nd row Stomp B/ C/ D/ X / Wah
First row 5 rigs

Ill probably change it when the Mission SP 2 gets here. Once you set the switches the way you want them, and have it set to global, you never have to assign them again, unless you want to change it up.

Thought about that again and it came to my mind that this will not work with a 5HE case.
The KPA just fits in your SKB 4HE rack because in the "plastic" racks there is space left between
the rails and the top and bottom of the case itself. If i put my 19'' wireless unit at the top this space will lack.
I will find a solution
