Tip: Plugging wall wart transformers into tight rack spaces

[Rick]

I'll have to remember about these when I finish my rig.

Dude! Nice job on the rack! That looks sweet! I'm a big stickler for an orderly wiring job!

Thanks man. It could be neater, but I don't like to cut manufacturer's power cords, and the audio cables are Monster Rock cables (Got them with Employee discount, and if I ever have a problem with them, I can just get new ones at a local GC). Anyways, here's a view of the entire back of the rack

I have never heard of those till now. Much cleaner than what I have going on.

I also have a kinda "cheapo" solution, because i put all my pedals in the rack, and also the Rocktron Xpression has no normal power cable, but one with a big ass transformer on it.

Pull-out rack-rail:



Placing pedals in front, 10$-power-strip (with fuse) in the back:




And now, use cable-tie:









Fixing the pedals with velcro onto the drawer:




After that, i also fixed the power supplies with cable-tie to the powerstrip.


Result:



Beeing completely setup in less than 5 minutes at gigs and rehearsals. Win.

Yes, yes it is. It takes longer for me to get my guitars out of their cases and onto the stand, than it does for me to hook up my 2 racks lol

Am i the only one that regularly reads "Wal-Mart" as "Wall-Wart"? (and vice-versa)

For Shannon.

I got a set of these at Wally world, but you can get 'em on Amazon too.

thank you, bro

[Richard]

since this thread has just been bumped, I figured I'd post pic of how I use one of these in my rack with my big AC adapter for my Ground Control Pro (which I bought from Shannon LOL).
