I use these racks for shallow devices like rack effects and eqs. I racked my Marshall 8008 ValveState (a 1U space) which is at the depth limit for this rack. I had to mount it up one space from the bottom in order to have accesss to the jacks in the back of the amp. The lip in the back of the rack comes up and covers the bottom of the unit. So if you rack something in the top or bottom space, it will need to be at least half the depth of the rack in order to gain access to the rear panel of the unit. In other words, if you have a deep rack device, you may want to reconsider these. My Marshall fit, but in the bottom rack, I had no access to the jacks.
It's a solid rack and perfectly built for rigorous road use. I bought two and they stack perfectly on top of each other. I actually have a vintage Crown DC-300A in one (which fits perfectly) and my rack gear (effects, synth, Furman power strip, and the Marshall 8008) in the other.
I would most definately recommend these for shallow rack devices of any weight."..." Read more
