VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature: Includes 6-space rack rails on the front of the unit, but it does not come with rear rails. This was not a problem for me, as I was hooking up a snake that would be stored inside the case and unrolled out the rear of the unit, so those rear rails would not have been used anyways. On two of the four latches that connect the lid to the main body of the unit, there are small holes in the latch that allow a suitcase-style lock to be used to keep people from taking off the lid and messing with your gear. It's got locking caster wheels, too. It doesn't say so in the description, but my unit DID come with rack screws, a whole bunch of 'em. I didn't know that and bought 50 screws at the same time, and now I've got more than I could ever need. One last thing: the main body of the rack doesn't have a floor. I'm sure that they did this so you could attach an additional 6U of rack space below the main body and run cables between the sections, but this means that whenever you want to change the unit into the stacked lid-on-the-bottom mode, you have to take everything out of the main body compartment. Otherwise, it'll just fall through. I solved this by building a floor out of some leftover wood flooring. Ease of Use: You definitely need two people to lift this thing, even if you don't have any gear in it. It's got two folding handles on each side, which makes lifting easy. It's also got indents molded into the front and rear of the lid, which provide additional lifting points if you need to get the unit through a doorway that's narrow. However, these molded indents don't provide you with much grip strength, so you won't be able to carry it around like that for very long. When used in the stacked lid-on-the-bottom mode, the mixer is elevated to the perfect height for mixing, and you have easy access to your rack gear. When not stacked, it's a little less comfortable to use, because if you're sitting in a chair with your legs facing the unit, your knees hit the front of the case. You don't have to worry about hitting your rack gear, but it makes it so that you have to lean and reach to access knobs at the middle and top of your mixer, which can get uncomfortable after a while. Quality: Though the unit is made almost entirely of plastic, it seems extremely durable and road-worthy. I'm sure it'll outlast some of my other gear. Value: It's a bit pricey, but if you've got a deep mixer and rack gear that you want to protect from gig to gig, you'll never need to buy a replacement. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to deal with it. The Wow Factor: Looks awesome, it's all black, and it doesn't show scuffs. Overall: This thing's a beast, but it holds a lot. Make sure you've got room in your vehicle for it, and you'll love it.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

3. You'll get your gear fast

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
