Yeah, the Axe FX is absolutely no problem. I have a tighter fit in my mixer rack on the bottom since the splitter snake I use doesn't have right angle XLR connectors and I'm too lazy to replace 32 XLR connectors.I’ve never had a rack so I was a bit worried about lid space. Thanks for letting me know it works!
I have mine in the exact same rack, it fits perfectly along with my Furman power conditioner and wireless IEM transmitter. Similar layout to RockYoWorld's top rack in the photo.I ordered this in the pics. SKB shallow 10.7” rail to rail. Big enough I think but I hope there is enough room in the covers for the handles on the fx3 front.
Works fine for me.I ordered this in the pics. SKB shallow 10.7” rail to rail. Big enough I think but I hope there is enough room in the covers for the handles on the fx3 front.
I considered a soft side but this will get tossed in with my tool boxes and decided that even though I drive I should have more protection. Peace of mind for me.I just bout the soft side 4U Gator and love it. Light and pretty protected. I have a 1U patch panel also, so I can just open up, plug in, and play.

What might you not like?Got it installed the Fx3 but I’m not sure I like it. I’ll give it a day and see how I feel about it later.
Bulkier than I expected. I need to think about it. I have never had a rack case before. Everything stays home but the FX3 I find I want to take with me. I thought it would be good for the Powerstation as well. It is 2u. But I may rethink my idea. It’s new and I may just have to get used to it. Or construct something myself.What might you not like?
There are really only two size dimensions to think about, the number of rack spaces and the depth you want. Given those two specs, there's not going to be a lot of difference in size, whether you buy or build.Bulkier than I expected. I need to think about it. I have never had a rack case before.

Love thisThat's the rack I use for my Axe FX III. I use the deep ones for my band's IEM units and mixer/splitter racks.

I understand that. I think my biggest issue is the quality for the price. I do not think the quality is nearly good enough for what they charged for this case. Looking around it seems a bit higher than average but close to what seems normal for these things. I need to decide if I want to take the time to build my own. I already have the materials minutes the latches, on hand. Time is the devil in the mix this time.There are really only two size dimensions to think about, the number of rack spaces and the depth you want.

A soft "rack" will probably be lighter, and maybe slightly smaller, but it's a lot less protection, probably not a good idea in a truck or checked baggage.
Must be holding up well. I wonder how much stronger the rotomolded is over traditional 3/8” plywood and aluminum.I use the same one - I have 2 - one for my AXE FX III, and one for my band’s FOH rack.
I don’t know, but these work so well for me, and have been very strong these past 7-8 years. Nothing broken on them at all.Must be holding up well. I wonder how much stronger the rotomolded is over traditional 3/8” plywood and aluminum.
I've had mine in this Gator 4U rack for over 4 years, gigging weekly with no issues. Lightweight and definitely strong enough for road trips.Must be holding up well. I wonder how much stronger the rotomolded is over traditional 3/8” plywood and aluminum.
What Brand are your very cool XLR Coloring Labels? Thanks!I've had mine in this Gator 4U rack for over 4 years, gigging weekly with no issues. Lightweight and definitely strong enough for road trips.
