They could have done much better with this rack adapter. For what it is, it really takes up too much space and doesn’t look like it leaves any room for a future product. The only advantage is if you want to drill out something for your favorite small stompbox perhaps.
I like the logo though.
I’d really like to know why the MoogerFooger rack shelves doubled in price! I bought a used one off of ebay recently for the price it originally sold for. It’s not worth a hundred bucks to rack a fooger. Even the VX/CP rack kits doubled and it’s half the metal involved! I can only assume that it is to make up for the customers who aren’t buying them, or if their manufacturer jacked their price up.
Isn’t the VX shelf supposed to come with a wire lead, and wooden block? Surely that would add to the cost. Otherwise, the metal is cheap. The cost is variable from a fabrication perspective (how many steps, bends, surfaces that require stamped holes) and fixed cost the paint and shipping.
THat tiny wire couldn’t cost THAT much, could it? It’s been so long since I ordered mine I totally forgot about that check block factoring in. I still don’t see it doubling the cost though. Anyway, at least I got my second shelf used for normal price, and it’s not slightly bent like my first one is.
Here is my home-made rack for Minitaur and CP251 side-by-side.
I used the 2xCP251 rack mount, and a angle grinder. Some of the CP251 wood end is removed, and the left screws in the Mini is mounted through the side of the rackmount.
I just took off the feet when I had my Foogers rackmounted. I ended up selling them, as they weren’t seeing much use, and I needed the rackspace for an amplifier.
