$30 hard case for AX-8

Hey guys,

hbucker posted a picture of a Rigid brand organized case that he found at Home Depot that basically fit the AX-8 perfectly and it's only $30! I went and bought one and put some adhesive backed foam rubber in it that I had lying around and it fit the AX-8 perfectly! I even have room for cables on either side! If you don't have any adhesive backed foam rubber, you could cut up a yoga mat and glue pieces in and that should work great.

It's a great case! Here are some photos of mine. I used Loctite spray adhesive to adhere some leftover cube foam. The white styrofoam is a stronger foam that will help protect the on/off switch and the 1/4" jacks. The foam in the top is lined up to go in-between the switches.

You guys think you could fit a smaller expression pedal in there as well? Minus the foam block on the side that you have?
 
All I can say is "maybe". As long as it is small. I set mine off to the side which leaves room for two 10 foot for cables and the power cable in the open area.

I know I need to carry a duffle bag with miscellaneous cords and stuff anyway. So the limited extra space doesn't really affect my situation.

I could have fit my Mission Expression Pedal if I had pushed the AX-8 all the way over to the side but I didn't want it rattling around in there. I would have had to make a barrier to fit between the Mission and the AX-8 and I didn't feel like doing that. Plus, with foam positioned where it is in the middle, AX-8 doesn't move around much at all.
 
FWIW: I've got mine moved to one side and with strategic implementation of some foam, it fits tight as a drum. No movement. This allows for a larger space to one side for storage.

But again, I'm carrying a duffle bag with me anyway, so it's probably irrelevant for me one way or the other.
