Hi,

Does any one have suggestions or recommendations on how to install the Quad Cortex on a rack?

I saw this case from SKB [1SKB ISF4U](https://www.thomann.de/intl/skb_isf4u.htm) and I thought would be a great solution for the quad cortex. However, it won’t fit on top because of the height of the quad cortex.

I loved the idea of having the pedals on top of the case instead of installing a rack tray/shelf for quick access.

Also, I’m not sure if it would be a problem but the drawers that I find don’t have locks to keep it in place, so the tray would move when transporting the rack and this makes me a little bit uncomfortable.

The [SKB VS-1](https://www.thomann.de/intl/skb_vs1_velcroshelf.htm) would be a great solution, it has locks and velcro pad but it would take 3U of the rack because of the total height and it is quite expensive.

I also checked the [1SKB R104W](https://www.thomann.de/intl/skb_r104w_rolling_compact_rig.htm) case and installing [this tray](https://www.skb-europe.com/1skb-vs-2/) on top.

However, the case is quite deep and my plan is to put the rack on top of a 4x12 cabinet which is not as deep. The size footprint wouldn’t be ideal.

I would love to hear how do you use your quad cortex in a rack and what products do you recommend for that!

There’s a YouTube video of Megadeth’s setup that looks as though they’ve done some sort of rack thing for the QC:

Yes, I saw this. But unfortunately this looks like custom built and it is too big for my use case.

I would love something like this but in a compact size travel friendly size.

I only need 4U + Quad Cortex on top like the picture or 6U if I would put in a tray or something like this.

I think they use a standard rack shelf for their QC’s.
