Let's see those FM9 rigs!

When I was looking for a board for my FM9 I considered that one. However, I think the FM9 is a bit wider than one half of the XPND2 at full width meaning that part of it would sit on the other half which is slightly lower\higher, meaning the FM9 wouldn't sit perfectly flat.

That shouldn’t be a huge issue I believe. Biggest question is though: how the heck do you Velcro it

I put dual lock under the rubber feet of my FM9 and its holding solid.

Another option could be to snag two 1/2" x 15" (or so) pieces of wood or aluminum, then dual lock them to the FM9 on one side and the pedalboard on the other. This would give you the lift clearance over the feet of the FM9 and provide for superior hold as well.

Or just like we've seen all over this thread, take the feet off and just dual lock it to the board.

Not a bad approach. I used the perspex bits from @ZenRigs Man on mine to provide enough lift for the under-unit LED light strips. :)

As long as there's adequate clearance around the fan intake on the bottom, this is ok. Don't want to cook anything inside.... :)
 
So someone's midi controller got me thinking I may want to add one to my pedalboard case with my FM9.

Anyone now a thin midi that can fit in this space in red?

Wow that's like the perfect size :D

A bit pricey for what is does but I supposed the functionality/LEDs etc drive up the price.

Thanks! I'll do some more research, seems like the perfect fit.

EDIT: Looks like the best way to run it is using the M-Box which goes from a 5pin MIDI to a 7pin MIDI. Interesting setup but looks pretty clean. I'm liking it.

You don't need the M-Box. In case of the FM-9/FM-3, the MF-Cable is a better (and cheaper) choice

Oh wow that is SO cool! Do you make those cables with right angles, just curious? I am thinking of getting an NSP hardshell case and worried they may stick out too far. No worries if not, just curious and I may be able to make it fit anyways.

I saved each of your pics to a folder on my PC for future reference, as I might copy you in some way with my FM9. You and I have similar design aesthetics, as I did something similar a couple of years ago with my old HX Effects board:

Seriously, nice job, I love how clean you made it. A little wide for my taste, but you absolutely nailed the form and function.

Thanks! I designed it to be as compact as possible, and width is something I had to live with because I'm singing lead vocal, and personally I can't step over things really well blind. I'll end up hitting buttons I don't want to Lol.

That's a clean HX Effects board. I have a small board with an HX Effects, 2 drive pedals and a wireless, but I actually had that one built for me.
 
Is someone using a Rockboard Tres 3.3 and can check whether the board will fit the bag with an angled IEC plug kept in the FM9? I want to build a board like this:

I want to put connect an IEC Splitter to my Rockboard Mod beneath the board which is connected to the FM9 via angled connector and to my Cioks DC7 powering the remaining pedals. I just need to know before buying that board whether i can keep the right angled plug connected as i don't want to pull everytime i move with it
 
Currently have a "sidecar" board on a pedaltrain nano like the smaller pic below, next to my FM9 on the floor. But after using the pedaltrain nano setup for the first time I can tell that patching the input, expression pedal, power, and both XLR outputs is going to get old.

So I'm considering a temple duo 24 to avoid patching and so I can use the M3.5 screws to mount the FM9

Two questions:

1) Will the tan thing fit above the FM9, or even below the board. It is 2" tall x 3.8" wide x 6.3" long.

2) Is there a flat board or different product that I can use screws to mount the FM9? I can always drill through a board but I'd prefer not to do that.

The tan rectangle is a Soyuz Launcher Deluxe which I'm using to get some additional transformer saturation prior to hitting FOH and my interface. But after using the pedaltrain nano setup for the first time I can tell that patching the input, expression pedal, power, and both XLR outputs is going to get old.

So I'm considering a temple duo 24 to avoid patching. Going with Temple soley because I can use the M3.5 screws to mount the FM9, unless there's another brand that also supports this. But I'm not sure if the Soyuz will fit above the FM9, or even below the board. It is 2" tall x 3.8" wide x 6.3" long. Would anyone with an FM9 + Temple Duo be willing to take some measurements for me and let me know if something that size will fit either above the FM9 or underneath the board?

Here is my Duo 34. There isn't enough room in front to do what you want. If you get the 34 instead of the 24 you can line them down the side with your vol pedal inbetween like I have done. Works great. The board is a heavy bugger though.

Thanks, how about underneath? It just has my output XLRs so I don't really need access to it except to patch to FOH.
