FM3 FC-6 carry bag or case options

[Rex]

Not replying to you. The original post on this thread did NOT ask about a bag.

The title of this thread is "Fm3 Fc6 carry bag or case options."

Similar to the SKB suggestion, but much less $ & found at Harbor Fright (yes, you read that correctly).
Apache 4800:

Do you think 2 pedals will fit ok?

 

[Rob13]

2 expression pedals? Not Mission pedals. Much smaller/thinner expression pedals might fit, but I just don't know.

The interior dimensions are 17-7/8 in. (W) x 12-7/8 in. (D) x 6-1/8 in (H) & the FC-6 is about 9.5" x 9.25" (without bumpers, if I'm remembering correctly).

There is a larger Apache case available (5800) that has integrated wheels & a tow handle. It's dimensions are 20-1/4 in. x 11-3/8 in. x 5-11/16 in.

Can anyone share any suggestions for carrying the fm3 and fc6 to gigs.

So here is another design I had put together see attachment from the Templeboard planner.

Are those dimensions including the foam? I'm thinking (2) EV-1's possibly stacked on top of each other next to the FC-6. The Mission pedals should be about the same height as the EV-1 so do you think a couple of Mission pedals could be stacked and the lid closed?

 

[Rob13]

I would assume those dimensions are without the foam. I can check later today. 2 expression pedals stacked should fit, I figure.

Thank ya sir.

Looking at that picture, I'd say it would be tough to shoehorn a second expression pedal into that case.

Yeah that's what I was thinking as well but thought I would ask him to check just in case.

Be sure not to rule out regular luggage as an option. Something like this:

Here’s the Apache 4800 from Harbor Freight. This will serve me well until a bag option comes along. The foam is a bit flimsy, but okay. I can put the power cable and expression cable on top the EV-1.

@Karl Houseknecht, try some spray adhesive to keep the foam on the "walls" & bottom of the case. It worked great for me.

Great tip! That'll keep the layers together better.

Use this one if you don't want it permanent. It's also great with foam.

The Line 6 Helix bag is a great choice - particularly if you have an FC6 as well.

 

[deepintheheartoftejas]

Using the Gator transit. Holds an FM3 + FC6 perfectly w room for cables, etc.

Would you mind shooting a picture of this? Curious to see!

Looks like things would get pretty scratched up?

A couple of small sheets of closed-cell foam or a towel could prevent that. Without the something like that, you’re right.

That was a fit test, not to pack up and go somewhere. Between cables, foam, and/or a towel there should be nothing to worry about.
