What's in your rack?

My rack...Changin soon though

Where did you get the piece above the Mesa? I'm looking for a one-space blank for my rack.

Most music stores carry either solid covers or vented ones. I got this one thrown in with the deal when I bought the amp and rack. i think it was worth about $15 or so. It finishes off the look of the rack and allows great ventilation.
 
It helped me, even though I have read that it would not over and over again.

Some clubs seem to have dirty power. Even my band room has this problem. I had issues with pops, buzzing, all kinds of strange artifacts coming from my bass rig. It did not ALWAYS happen, but it happened. I got the power conditioner, problem was solved.

Then, I plugged in our band room monitor power amp (a really old, beat up amp) into it and viola! The annoying buzz/hiss issues we had with that amp are gone.

there are guys on here who are well versed in these things, I don't count myself among them. All I can say is that, in my case, that sucker sure helped.

Got it on the cheap off ebay... just does its job.
Edit for price... I paid around $30

In all honesty, I doubt it does anything more than the Belkin surge strip I linked - but atleast at $30, you didn't get fleeced too badly...
