Racked Shuttle 6.0

Medford Bassman · #1 12-19-2011, 08:29 AM

I think I found a good setup for me.

Gator soft rack, Shuttle (with rack ears), Shure wrieless with rack ears, rack tuner, VT Bass.

For years I've been carrying my Shuttle in it's little bag thinking how nice it is to have a 3.5 lbs amp. But then when I add my wireless, tuner, VT it was a mess of tangled cables and power cords.

The rack weighs about 12 lbs with everything inside, about 17 lbs. Not too bag to carry from gig to gig. has a nice pocket for speaker cable as well.

I have room in it for a small power strip. Zip tied all excess cords. Now I just unzip it, find power and I'm set. Even going ampless still pretty small to have everything I need in it.

anyone else rack their Shuttle?

Yes, I rack both Shuttles (6 & 12) that I own. With cables, rack tuner, effects, et al it just makes it easier.

We've got similar rigs, neighbor. Shuttle 6, NeoX212T, VT bass. I haven't really warmed up to the VT Bass yet. I got it last month after GASsing for it for over two years. I've also been thinking of racking the Shuttle and a tuner. My DT-10 is a great tuner, but I'm lazy. I plug in DI, speaker, power and patch the tuner. It adds a fair amount of time to my setup and tear down. I'd love it to be one stop shopping.

+1 to Gadgetjunky - pics!

I'll try to get some posted later today!

The rack bag helps my laziness.

cool - I'm interested. How do you widen the Shuttle pieces so as to hook it into the rack?

There's a rackmount kit available.

Thanks. From Genz, or from Gator?

So what's the pedal on top there?

Looks like an MXR analog chorus.

Cool. I'm curious - did you ever consider upgrading to the 9.0? Why or why not?

Cheers!

P.S. I'm another happy 6.0 owner, but sometimes I wonder about a 9.0.
