Question about rack mounting a little mark III

[Black Coffee]

Ok

I'm wanting to rack mount a little mark III and I don't know if I'm better with a standard depth rack case or a shallow one.
Along with it in the case will be a tuner, an eq and hopefully eventually a Sansamp rbi.
It would appear that a shallow case is just about maybe deep enough but is a larger case a better option ?
Any advice welcome.

I would (and indeed do) go for shallow as they tend to sit better on the majority of cabs I've owned/used and there's still plenty of space round the back of a LM to leave cables plugged in etc. The RBI I seem to recall is shallower than the LM, most tuners I've ever met are shallower still.

The only time I'd say maybe don't shallow rack a LM is if it's a 2U rack with a removable panel rather than a full-face removable lid at the back (some older SKB ones - maybe others are out there) because it can be fiddly to plug things in if you have fairly big hands. As you're talking probably 6U I'd imagine any would be fine as the panel/hole on that particular style would be much larger.

Yup. Shallow all the way.. 300mm .. I prefer vented cases which pushed me towards a custom case from swan..

You could get a tray, so it will pull forward.
