Carrying case?

[joe rogers]

I would email the folks at MONO. They are musicians, and their support team may be able to tell you what will fit.

Send me an AX8 and I'll take pictures of it with my bag.

Curious to hear about other guys using lower cost options (laptop bag, tool box, gun case, etc). I wouldn't want to get an expensive mono case right away. What if you need to use 4 exp pedals, a wireless, add some fuzz pedals, etc?

Emailed them this morning, gave them sizes of the AX8 and my Mission pedals. If it fits, it's getting ordered!

For me, I hate carrying anything over one shoulder and to the side. I'd much rather have a LIGHT BACKPACK to put this in, which more readily frees up both my hands for amp and guitar. Any backpack options? Needs to be LIGHT. I don't care that much about extreme protection.

I am really liking the options at Mono. They have backpack versions too, very well developed. You can tell these folks actually use their products.

I've seen various backpacks -- cheap too -- with 17" laptop pockets, that would be an option. I would be a little bit worried about carrying something expensive in a backpack, myself, if someone stumbles...

Have been carrying mine around in your basic large laptop bag (the one that used to house my MFC101). Expression pedal fits in the front pouch with a TRS cable and a power cord. Super easy.

I had that same case. Been using it for awhile now. First with my MFC now with my AX8

Gruv brand has backpacks made for musician in mind. Could be an option that might work. About the same price as Mono I say.

A few FX8 guys recommend this backpack

This was bought years ago for an L6 HD500 - Two M-audio exp pedals stack nicely at the end of the AX8 for a perfect fit.

Neo-Which gator case is that? I checked I guess it's this one: Gator GK Keyboard Gig Bag - Micro
22.5" X 11.5". Does that sound right?

 

[Stratman68]

You know your getting old when you see the prices of these "gear" bags. The price seems to be dictated by what it carries, not how it's made. Oh gear bag, for musicians stuff-$300.. Laptop for college kids-$49

I'll be back in the mancave in the morning and try to figure the model out. I purchased it new a few years back for the hd500, so I think it to be a commonly available size

 

[NeoSound]

I think this is it, but you may want to verify the dimensions
