I use a 6-space light weight Gator rack - it's a thin-wall composite, so easily carried in one hand. I've got a 2-space rack drawer for storing cables and accessories. And, I built a patch-bay that allows me to do all of my connecting from the front of the unit (power, Out1, L,R. Out2 L, R, MFC101 Faslink, and USB top PC - parts from ebay and Parts Express). I hate digging around the back of a rack in the dark. There is a divot in my front teeth from biting down on a minimag. The whole rack sits on a lightweight guitar combo amp stand - front face angled up toward me. I leave the back of the rack closed. The MFC101 and 2 expression pedals fit perfectly in a small pedal case that I already had laying around, just pop it open, patch in the exp pedals, and plug in the faslink. Boom. Walk in and set up in under five minutes.
