Right now my rig is a Fractal FM9, a Marshall DSL100HR and a V2-modded Ceriatone 2203.
I gave up on having a massive pedalboard last year and I'm very happy with the FM9. But still, there are some odds and ends I want in my rig, and a rack is starting to make more and more sense, so I took the plunge and ordered this:
Comes with casters and has the perfect footprint for my space.
Right now my two heads stacked on an IKEA TV bench, which is fine, but it does have a wide footprint. They'll be able to sit comfortably on top here.
My first order of business is going to be getting a 1U power conditioner, an I/O panel, and a shelf to keep my Suhr RL on. But in time l will be looking to get a pedal drawer, a MIDI-controlled loop switcher and a second Suhr RL (so each head can have its own RL and sit in its own loop, avoiding me needing an expensive amp switcher).
Hell, maybe I'll even upgrade from the FM9 to the Axe-FX III - I find myself bumping up against the CPU limit a lot. And as much as I do love the Fractal amp models, I'd like to supplement them with a couple Synergy modules. I can use the FX return of my DSL as a MIDI-controllable power amp, so for the Fractal amp models and any rack preamps I might pick up I can get that authentic pushed EL34 sound running through a load box (I already manually tweak the power amp emulation of every amp I use in the Fractal to match a Marshall).
Very excited to finally be able to incorporate some of this gear into my rig!
