I love the amp/cab organizer I made, but realize that what I really need is to have my amp heads next to me and the cabs on the other side for recording. Would be looking to buy/build something that could hold: - Princeton combo
- Dr. Z MAZ 18 Jr.
- Fender Tremolux
- Hilgen Basso Grande
- Space for an additional head (4 flavors ain't enough)
- Space for a Captor X
- Rack space for a DeLisle amp selector, Eleven Rack)
What have people bought or built? If I were building, thinking of just using 1x12" hardwood and then doing a face frame, or veneer birch ply, but hard for me to rip 8' at home cleanly on plywood. thanks! |

I made mine. I used some steel tubing and angles and welded up supports for wooden shelves. The frame was then bolted to the wall. This is an older pic, I now have 5 amps on the wall.  |

Thanks - would love if you have time to snap a newer pic. Also making me think I need to leave another 2RU for a slide out tray for pedals; right now they're "displayed" on a bookcase in an IKEA bookshelf wall mount. would be better to have them within reach to try/swap out. |

Amps are a bit heavy and big for anything but commercial shelving. The idea of using 1in isn’t a bad idea. I would run with 3/4 ply for shelves, with a perpendicular beam for support.
I would also suggest a couple of patch bays: consider the advantage of bringing effects loops to bays not just for ease of not having to dig in the back, but ever run the pre of a Fender through the power section of a Marshall? Same with amp outputs and speaker inputs. The tonal options on the quick will make you look brilliant.

Thanks for the thoughts - 3/4 may be the easiest to go with and just make a face frame for the front using pocket screws on the back.
The Delisle switcher is what got me thinking on this as it lets you send any amp to any cab/Captor or multiples.
None of my amps have effects loops, so beyond having the pedals there in the front, no other patch bay needed. Always have been an effects through the input guy. That being said, having built a fly rig around a Strymon Iridium, definitely favoring delay and possibly chorus AFTER the Iridium, especially on gain patches.
