what are you guys doing for a case?

[Burgs]

I've just had road case built for mine. It will suit both the AX8 and FX8 with a couple of screw changes. It's light, easy, tough.

Check out Diago cases. I have a showman which will fit snug the Axe8, two exp pedals, and room for another pedal or two

extremely well made and durable hard cases

That looks really great @Burgs . I like the detail with the fastening, I may just use that idea myself

The Diago boards looks cool too

I agree that the Diago is good case, however based on my experience, the handle is junk and can't handle the weight.

I was excited about a small, light bag or something, but I find myself integrating the AX8 into my amp rig, and now have a great situation where it can float between modeling and 4CM in to amp. I also find that I still can't commit 100% to digital overdrive. I'm using more than i was with the FX8, but my Tim OD still has to be on the board. Thus it looks like this

that's not my experience, I have mine for years with no trouble.

The ax8 fits great in this laptop case:

Can you also fit an expression pedal (or two) in there?

It depends what expression pedal you have. If it's one of the M audio exp ones, than I think it will. I have a moog ep3 which doesn't quite fit, buts it's not a problem because I can just throw it in my backpack.

It's a really nice case otherwise, as it has tons of room and pockets for cables and stuff.

That's the killer. I have an EV-1, and it's hard to find a case that's not monster-sized that fits both the EV-1 and an AX8.

I thought an SKB 2311 would work. It fits the AX8 like a glove, but there's no way to get an EV-1 in there.

The Gator case for the MicroKorg will fit both. Juuuuuuuust. Next time I'm near mine I'll take a picture.

Please do. I'm hot in pursuit of a reasonably protective case that will hold the AX8, at least one EV-1, my wireless, an external momentary cable, and the some cables and other odds and ends. I already have a just-barely-fits Brenthaven briefcase, but every time I zip it up, I'm afraid that a corner of the AX8 will bust through the zipper.

I just got one of the Gator cases and it'd be perfect if the accessory pouch was bigger. I have an old RokSak that I can just barely squeeze the AX8 into but it has room for everything else. I could probably put a couple of the smaller things in my guitar case and then the Gator would work.
