3u flight case

[Kevin Dean]

Any suggestions for a light one than can take a Ashdown JJ head or typical ABM rack head ..most the ones I see are too deep .

Yes. Gator do a 3u shallow rack - http://gatorcases.com/products/racks-portable/molded-racks/grc-shallow-molded-racks/3u-audio-rack-shallow-gr-3s/. I use one. It's about 315mm front to back without the lids attached, so will take gear up to around 340mm deep.

One thing I find worth doing is to use support for the amp, so the weight isn't all taken by the front plate. Something like this - http://cpc.farnell.com/pulse/rksu-1u/rack-shelf-universal-1u/dp/DP32725 (you want one without a lip at the rear) - attached to the rack strip at the back of the case helps spread the load. The rear of the amp can just rest on it.

You need to look for effects cases... they are typically around 35 cm deep. Perfect for what you want. So...

Is a contender for starters.

is another...

The gator is a good call also - although strictly speaking, it's 1 cm too short, so the amp will overhang a gnats ck when the back door is off.
