handles on the front of the Axe

[m lebofsky]

Can these be removed easily ? (i.e., unscrewed from the inside of the Axe without having to move electronics around).
Thanks

Why do you want to remove them? There is a reason they are there you know.

The handle near the input jack is a PIA for right angle cables coming from above/right.

What is the main reason they are there in your opinioin ? Hopefully for more than to pull the unit in and out of the rack.

If you get them off let us know and post a pic please.

The handles are structural. Don't remove them.

I use them to hold on for the ride.

Like a roller coaster.

What Cliff said. The handles hold the front panel to the enclosure.

Among other things they protect your knobs from being busted.

Well, if Cliff says not to remove them - I don't think I would. However, when I received my Axe-FX, one of the handles was loose and sort of bent. I opened up the case and tightened the screws without any problem. I don't recall thinking that it was holding anything else in place structurally, but I wasn't looking that closely.

They protect the knobs from being busted ?? Did you actually look at the axe before you said that ?

Without the handles the Axe just sounds one-dimensional and flat, plus I hear a touch of digital harshness. The handles are the special sauce.

if your rack accidentally fell,this will protect the AxeFx i think.

If you do remove them, use dynamite.... and film it. :twisted:
