Hey everybody. I’m just curious if anyone has used their foogers with the SKB PS-45 Pedalboard case or something similar. I’m trying to figure out how to mount my foogers and ran across this. I’m leaning towards using a rack of some sort, so this is not exactly what I was wanting, but I’m still wondering if it works well. Thanks!

I haven’t tried mounting my foogers on anything except my desktop yet, but will be custom making a rack/mount to take 6 foogers + CP-251 as well as the Cioks Power Suppy to give them all juice. I want to make a custom solution because I like the challenge and I like working with wood! There have been a few topics posted on the issue of organising foogers, try a forum search on racking or mounting foogers but here are a couple of interesting ones to start with, may not be exactly what you are looking for, but gives some food for thought. It seems there are as many different ways of organising your foogers as there are people approaching a solution to the same!

I bought the rack mount for the 3 foogers and the other for the CP-251/VX-351 (but I only have the 351).
Today, I have only a single Fooger racked (out of the 5 I have); that’s the 105M. The others are alternately in a small travel case (depending on where I’m playing) or on a Pedal Train board.
On the Pedal Train, I simple pulled the Fooger bottom plate, flipped it over (so that the stickers don’t get all mucked up w/the velcro); applied heavy duty velcro and took off the rubber feet.
If you are short on space, you can save a 5/8" here and there by removing side cheeks and fitting tightly next to one another in the same way as they do in the Fooger rack mount.
Ideally, you want NOTHING behind the Foogers due to the way that the jacks are oriented which may or may not be a waste/problem depending on the depth of your pedal board. Today, I only have a single Fooger (the Low Pass), onboard along with a Korg tuner, Carl Martin compressor, two TC Electronics pedals, Micro POG and two Lehle switchers. I’m a Bass player by trade.
If you are ONLY into Modulars and analog synths, then building a monster rack with all the ins/outs is the ticket (as many here have done). Otherwise it becomes burdensome dragging a bunch of Foogers around. (but worth it)
