mildmanofrock Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) I use a Sansamp Paradriver floor pedal as a preamp for my power amp. Rather than bend over and fiddle with its knobs in the dark during gigs, can anyone recommend a secure way to attach/strap it to my 2U rack case or power amp? I tried strong pedal tape once. Didn't work - the vibrations wobbled it loose. Thank you, Steve Edited February 18, 2012 by mildmanofrock Quote
icastle Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Racking it directly isn't really going to work because there are too many sockets floating about in inconvenient places. How about a piece of foam rubber and just sit it on top of the amp? The other other 'tidy' alternative that springs immediately to mind would be to get a 19" rack drawer so you can just slide it out to get to the controls - they are usually available with cable ports punched in the back, so you could wire it in semi permanantly - if you have any rack space left that is...

Higgie Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Not even a 10 on the Richter Scale could wobble [url=http://www.audiospares.com/product.php?productid=1595&cat=0&page=1]this stuff[/url] loose! Quote

And for fastening an SKB X case to a Boschma, or to my cab for wheeling. Two strips about three inches long are enough to hold 10Kg or so upside down if required. Much, much stronger than velcro.

mildmanofrock Posted February 18, 2012 Author Posted February 18, 2012 Don't go, join the party. Thanks for the tips folks. I'll give that loopy tape thing a go. Quote
dannybuoy Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Since you already have a rack, how about selling it and getting the rackmount RPM or RBI? Quote
