spud19870 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Hello, I have recently purchased an SVT3 Pro amp head. I am looking for a case so that I can look after it properly when transporting it. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 For my SVT3 I used an SKB 4U because the 2U amp had lots of ventilation and I carried other stuff in the spaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike257 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Any decent rack case - its only 2u high - I kept it in a 6u case with a wireless, rack tuner and power distributor for a while, then downsized to a 2u when I eventually got tired of the lifting! If you're doing a lot of gigging is get a "proper" flight case rather than the moulded plastic ones that Gator and the like deal in. You'd get a proper roadworthy one used from here, eBay or elsewhere for the same price or less as a brand new rubbish plastic one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud19870 Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 OK sounds good, thanks for the advice. I will get hunting for a decent 2u case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud19870 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Very quickly, anyone who stores there in a 2u case did you use the rack support mount on the back of the amp as well or just the front supports when fastening it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike257 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I didn't use the rear supports, to be honest its not massively heavy in the grand scheme of things, but at one point I put a small piece of fairly rigid packing foam in the gap between the bottom of the amp and the base of the case. It was only big enough to give a bit of support at the back, didn't impede airflow anywhere. If its a sturdy case with decent solid mounting strips up front it'll probably be fine.

paulpirie8 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) Yeah I've been using mine in a 2U flight case from flightcasewarehouse.co.uk for the past year or so! Cost about £90-£100 and worth every penny! Paul Edited August 27, 2013 by paulpirie8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
