Axe-Fx III Protection

[jamesblonde]

Does anybody know if there are any cases/protective rack mounts for the axe fx iii? I can’t seem to find any on the interwebs and I don’t like the idea of my expensive unit being unprotected if I ever get to gig with it.

Any 3U or larger rack should accommodate it. There are some good threads here on this subject if you search the forums... this has tons of stuff in it https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/post-your-axe-fx-iii-rigs-here.136754/

Search “rack case.” A common piece of gear and it’s exactly what the Axe was designed to go in, hence the rack screw holes on the left and right sides.

Every time that bell rings there's somebody at the front door!

Seriously and as stated, any 3U or bigger rack with removable front and rear covers (for protection while in transit) will work just fine.

I have the SKB- R3S and it fits like it was make for the unit.

SKB is the brand

R=Rack
3=3 unit size
S= Shallow

$161 new if you pay full price but there are deals and promos at times out there just like most items.

There are other makes and models out there too. Just search as mentioned in prior posts.

It fits in a 3RU shallow case just nicely

Don't overthink it. It was simply funny and sarcastic sounding. All good.

I run 6u

furman 1U > Axefx3 3U > matrix 2U

I swear by the Harmony Cases, beefy hardware and solid! Amazon sells this 3U for $100, it’s better than any SKB I’ve ever used.

Thanks for the help all! I wound up going with a cool Gator Retrorack 3U case! Looks awesome even though I'm pretty sure they sent the wrong sized screws haha

That does look very cool to me. The only way it could be sweeter is if it had some dummy controls on the front or the top so it really looked like an old head.
