Just a post to show how I put my latest board together. I was able reuse the board from my AX8. I started by mounting a piece of plywood down to raise the units about 1/2 inch. It provides a wood surface to screw fasteners for the cords and also have a hard surface to mount Dual Lock. I usually place painters tape down first to protect the finish of the pedal, bottom label, and paint. In the case of the FM3, I used four pieces of 2 inch Dual Lock on each corner. The four pieces are just a tad taller than the feet, however, it does provide space for the fan on the FM3. The same approach was used on the FC6 and the EV2. I needed two pieces for the Shure wireless. Cables are screwed down with plastic tabs and I used zip ties when needed to keep things tight in the back. The spacing between the FM3 and the FC6 is about 3/4 of an inch. I felt that should be plenty and spaced evenly. Although I also own an EV1, I bought the EV2 to keep the board a bit lighter and use less space. Most of the time I do not use the wireless, when playing festivals on larger stages I will sometimes go wireless. Without having a weight on the AX8 board and now this one, this new one may be a little heavier? But I'm confident it will survive bouncing around in the trailer! Looking forward to getting out again! Hope this may help some of you. Be well and safe out there!
