My New Mooger Fooger Cabinet!
Posted: Thu Apr 16, 2015 12:13 pm
Ever since I bought all of the Foogers back, I have been trying to come up with something better than just the rack for my MoogerFooger modular. For me the rack fails to allow access or even a decent view of the jacks which are half of the power in these. When I lay them flat (as you can see on the shelf in the background of the pics), it is even worse. I drew up a bunch of ideas and none of them stuck, until I came up with this!
For now it is just a couple of teaser photos. I still have to install the top support bar that goes along the top back edge to add strength to the cabinet. The idea is that they sit at a steep angle and the piece they all mount to swivels toward you to allow for easier patching and a better view. The protective paper is still on the sides, that is why it looks brown. It is all 3/8" thick Black Acrylic, so it will be strong. I put a handle on the bottom front edge to assist with moving it or taking it out on the town. I also made holes for either Foogers or the CP-251 (including power holes on the top or bottom), in case I need them in the future. I also will put holes in the top bar (not shown in the pic) so I can mount some CP-251 style boxes horizontally along the top. It should fit 7 Foogers on the swivel rack and 4 CP-251's across the top. No I don't plan on having 4 CP-251's, but I do plan on having 4 of a really cool box that my buddy will be bringing to market this year (mum is the word for now on that).
My studio gets a bit messy when I am in the middle of a project like this, sorry.
