Bag/Clamps/Shelf to attach half-rack effects unit to legs?
Tue May 07, 2013 6:47 pm
Hello!
Posting here again in lieu of a general gear discussion board.
I recently bought an old Boss SE70 effects unit for my etc 'verbs etc. It looks like this...
Rather than sit it on top of my amp, I thought I'd rather like it to be nearer so I can tweak it as and when. Being a half rack unit, on the floor isn't an ideal option and would preferably like, some how, to attach it to the legs of my steel, also, of course, keeping it out of the way of my legs/levers. Therefore, I was wondering if any of you guys have done anything similar and maybe know where to get suitable leg clamps that I can attach to the unit? Best I can think of at the mo is getting a suitably sized sandwich cool bag I have, poking holes in the bottom for leads and hanging that off somehow...

I had a preamp some time ago which was similar in size to Your unit.
I bought some aluminium flat section approx one inch broad and quite thin at B&Q and was able to bend it into a kinda "U" shape with a hook at the top which hung off My pack seat and sat at My right hand side.I used two such brackets,I did have a photo somewhere but cannot locate it.

Check out American forum there is a guy on there who builds and supplies all sort of brackets and trays, his name escapes me right at moment but will try and find it for you.

Cheers, fellas.
Did a bit more searching and found these...

Should be able to attach those somehow to the top of effects unit (super superglue, if nothing else!). Obviously with the angle of the legs, the unit will be facing away from me a little but nowt I can't live with.
I've decided that the SE-70 has too much going on in that tasty box to just do my reverbs and would be put to better use in my studio rack, so I'm going to try a Nanoverb 2 for steel (seeing as Lexicon LXP1's are so rare/expensive), which is a fair bit smaller, thereby making this endeavour a little more feasible.
Thanks again!
