Rik (ESA) Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Afternoon Folks, I've got mainly rack gear, and as i don't fiddle with my settings on my pedals during a gig and only with my amp, i would like to install them into my 19 inch rack. Has anyone here done this before, and if so, what's the best way?! Cheers Rik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderthumbs Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Yeah, I've seen it done before. It was done with rack rails (that are generally used in IT for servers, etc.). That way, if needed, you can slide out your pedal board to make any necessary adjustments. You'll find the appropriate stuff by googling it.

EBS_freak Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Try this if you want to avoid MIDI [url="http://woboge.com/remote.html"]http://woboge.com/remote.html[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOD2 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Well you can buy 19 inch rack shelves, so you could velcro the pedals onto a shelf. There are also "sliding drawer" shelves that slide out which would allow you to easily access the pedals whenever you want - gets a bit expensive though.

EBS_freak Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hang on - are we talking about physical installation into a rack? Or remote control? Rack shelf/rack drawer with velcro would secure the pedals (you probably need rear rack ears for the shelf option though... but it does give the ability to slide your pedals out of the rack...) If you are feeling particularly flush, give [url="http://www.skrydstrup.com"]http://www.skrydstrup.com[/url] a chance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rik (ESA) Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 Always been fascinated by midi, and still haven't a clue about it, so i'll check the link! However the original intention was to just set up my pedals in the effects loop of my amp, so they wouldn't need 'controlling' as it were. Thanks for all the suggestions though everyone, most helpful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
