Identify these rack units!

Sign in to disble this ad
I already posted a similar thread over in the amps section, asking about what I think are power conditioners, assuming that since they spent all their time looking at racks full of rack gear, they might know the answers. However, I just found what I think is an effects unit that I can't identify, so I have come to my usual place of residence to try to find someone more knowledgeable than me.



I'm trying to work out everything that is Matt Bellamy's racks, and I've got pretty much everything, but I'm stuck on 5 things. The effects unit that I'm talking about is the bottom piece in the right rack. Two space affair, black with blue stripes at the top and the bottom. If anyone knows what it is, I will be grateful!

Also trying to find out what the power conditioners at the top of both racks are, and the second unit down in the right rack, between the power conditioner and the wireless units. I think it might be a Shure antenna splitter, but I can't find a model (past or present) that looks like that. Also just noticed the black half rack unit above the Rocktron All Access, which I am also curious about.



For those who are interested...

its a Muse Research Receptor C2 VST Plug-In Player, for loading VST plugins as real-time effects.
Basically a computer with an interface.

Me thinks the unknown half rack in the right flight case is a MidiStream by Kenton Electronics...

I think the Power Conditioners are older Furmans -

One with and one without the Digital Meter.

That was my initial thought, but the power switch and front socket are in opposite places, and the digital display is too big.

I'm not even a muse fan, but I did a quick google for "muse power conditioner" and got -

http://www.musewiki.org/ETA_Systems_...er_Conditioner

Possibly an older version of this - ??

http://www.dv247.com/studio-equipmen...-outlet--25097

The Layout and logo's seem the same anyway.

I just assumed that it was such an unlikely thing for Google to come up with that I didn't bother...


I feel so stupid.


Thanks though.



EDIT: I'm still completely stumped on the one underneath the power conditioner in the right rack. I've spent quite a while going through their product guides trying to find a discontinued product that matches, but no luck.

Lol I know what you mean about about Google and fan wiki's.

That last single rack unit also has me stumped.

For a moment I thought it might be a TC Powercore X8 that hasn't been switched on, so no glowing logo, but I don't think it is one of those -

I have seen Powercores without the front panel wording, just the blue light.

Maybe its a VT pedal mod
