Rack Ears - GK Legacy/Fusion S

[tk4207]

Hey friends!

Owing to the lack of a commercially-available rack-mounting solution from GK for the Legacy and Fusion S heads, I went off and designed my own!

Had an SLA prototype made and it's currently doing time in my rack. They check out great, so I'm considering replacing it with a sturdier sheet-metal version (5052 aluminum, black powder coat).

If 5 other TB'ers are interested, pricing would be around $70/set + shipping. Appropriate metric SHC screws included. Pricing goes down if there's more interest of course.

Any thoughts? Would appreciate your feedback! Thanks!

Looks good! Can't wait to get my GK Fusion S mounted in my amp rack. Looks like you have a CK cab there? How do you like it? Considering a pair of 4 ohm CK 410s.

Nice! Yeah, the 1x15, sounds great paired together!

I bet it sounds sweet! The new amps GK released are all awesome. I almost went with a Legacy amp. Do you plan on pairing the 1x15 with another cab?

Not anytime soon! Haven’t turned up beyond 10-11 o’clock at a gig yet! Plenty loud

Do you think you could do a custom one for The MB Fusion 500 Heads ? These rack ears are impossible to find

There is a thread that says the rack ears from a MB F1 will fit the MB series as far as width goes.
The back mounting hole is said to be a perfect fit and that you have to locate the other 2 holes to mount.
A TB'r claims that GK will make them again although they haven't returned my email from 2 weeks ago.
These have been out of stock for a long time and it seems doubtful they will fab them for a discontinued amp.

Or just get a 1 space blank 19" panel, and shear and bend the thing to fit.
I got about half way down this road and found a pair for sale.

Yea I saw that thread and funnily enough the F1 Rack ears are just as hard to get......I'm thinking i may have to get some custom made or something close and drill the holes myself.....can't be that hard.

Looks like we’ve 3 got so far including myself? Definitely will still consider having them fabricated if we can find 2-3 others!

They are now available from GK. Just a heads up.

 

[StereoPlayer]

I made my special two in one space for my 2 MB-200s. About $15.00

 

[Slowmo]

Although expensive, I bit the bullet and got the rack ears from GK.

The amp looks tiny in the rack. LOL! Maybe I will get a smaller case just for the amp.

Whatever happened with this?
There appears to be more of call with this now that live shows are really coming back.
