Re: Does anyone make a Rack for 1/2 rack gear.

Chris,

Yes this seems simple to you. However, most large scale manufacturers of 
rack gear build to the lowest common denominator/price vs. feature set. It 
is alot like all of the big names that have tried to do  a looping pedal 
and have really gotten them wrong. I for one would love something with 
that much intelligent design involved. However, most of the time that is a 
DIY moment. And with the Un-G*dly amount of brain power and innovation on 
this list, I am betting that someone here could build that or give you a 
million options as to its' execution. They could also tell you how to do 
it for a fraction of the price that you would think. Probably in the form 
of some kind of break out box.
