Half rack suggestions.

[Low D.]

I m thinking to buy a rack to put in my new amp head, or buy a cab that has rack already on it... The head takes 2 spaces and i m thinking getting a 3 space rack so I can put something else also. Not a tuner though. I was thinking to buy a half rack wireless system and maybe an effect unit (also half rack that is)...
Any suggestions on USEFULL half rack stuff?

There are a few nice half-rack (or third-rack) compressors out there: Ashly, FMR, Presonus, dbx, Joemeek, Boss.
Those brands, as well as Summit Audio, also make (or have made) EQ units that would fit.
Scholz Rockman made some killer half-rack effects units (their stereo delay is one of my favorites ever), and the Boss SE70 Pro is a well-liked half-rack multifx.

get yourself a nice 4U rack. for a small rig you cant beat it.
think about it. 2U for the head, 1U for a wireless, 1U for a tuner/power conditioner/preamp/ etc etc etc.

I dont think I m gonna need an extra EQ unit. Half brands you mentioned do not exist in my country anw
As for the Boss effects I only found this in rackmount version: http://www.bossus.com/index.asp?pg=1&tmp=146 , and this also: http://www.bossus.com/index.asp?pg=1&tmp=58

I ve just got rid off a 4U rack , I wanna keep it small as possible. Most wireless systems are half rack from what I ve seen anw.

Boss SE-70 effects processor. Chorus, Synth, Tuner, Compressor, OD, etc. Or the Boss VF-1. These are out of production units.

Then how come they have VF-1 in their website? Its the second link in my post above yours.

The thing is, the half-rack format was only popular for a little while in the 1980s and maybe early 90s. Most consumers find it inconvenient. So you may have to look for used gear, on Ebay or locally.

After checking it out today through a local store, I dont think I want a digital thing in my rack anymore! :S I m going to stick with my pedals and find something else for the rack... or maybe I should get a 2U rack just for my amp head....I dunno.
