alexmoore10 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Hey all So I run a 2u Ashdown head and I’m looking at getting a better flight case for it. Now, should I... a) Get a better 2u rack case (probably SKB) b) Get a 4u with a 2u drawer or c) something else... thanks for you thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did- and then took out the wireless and moved it all to a 3u! 😆 It wasn't an Ashdown amp, but still... Back in my guitar-playing days this was the Behemoth! The top rack was a reasonable weight given that the JMP-1 weighed in around 5kgs...shame that the same can't be said for the 29.5kg Marshall valve power-amp!

It was, and still is a beast of a pre-amp - esp if you get the Voodoo mod done which makes it even more of a beast! http://www.voodooamps.com/home/Modifications/AMPMODIFICATIONS/MarshallMods1/JMP1Preamp/tabid/150/Default.aspx They had their dalliance with that horrible CODE modelling head thing that they brought out but I agree that there's still a place for the JMP-1 out there. Hell - even the guys from Leps and Maiden only replaced their JMP-1s in the last couple of years. I think Gibbons still uses his in his live rack?

Kirky Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 If you don't want a traditional flight case Zilla do some nice things, racks that look more like traditional head cabinets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I put my 2u SS head in a 4u rack case. IMO the extra space is good for ventilation and air flow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 The problem with putting other stuff in the rack as well is that there's no rear input on the Ashdown head, leaving you with a trailing cable if you want anything before the amp like a wireless. Tuner is a good shout though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 2U. Less to carry. Pedal tuner also acts as a mute button. Happy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Best 1 amp and nothing else solution I have ever had was a rack bag. Easy to carry total protection, less bulky, a pocket on top. Wish I'd kept it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike257 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I used to have a 6u with an SVT3, rack tuner, wireless, and a 1u power distributer/rack light, only had to plug in power and the speaker cable and I was good to go. Then I got a Genz Benz Shuttle that could fit in a gig bag pocket and sacked it all off 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
