I threw this in a rack for a while, and it's decent there. Served it's purpose. Rack ears have holes to wire your cables, not bad. But, I dont really think that this is where it's meant to be.This amp doesn't need a case. Take it out of the rack, put it on top of whatever cab you want. Throw it in a bag, take it wherever you want. This is where it works best. It's literally a 700watt stereo single channel amp meant for pedals or rack gear.Putting it in a case doesn't do it justice, take it out. It does get warm when it's pushing some volume, all amps do. Makes more sense to set it on top of a rack case if needed.Beautiful sound, and tons of range on the EQ. More volume then you need. Cab simulation is actually very good. I use it to record all the time.This amp makes life easy.

I bought this unit to compare to the Orange Pedal Baby 100. The OPB 100 is cheaper and just as loud, and just as big, so I had every incentive to prefer it over the SDP 700. After playing through/with the OPB 100 for 2 weeks I plugged in the SDP 700 and within minutes I knew it was staying in my rig and OPB 100 had to go. The Orange colored my tone with that "Orangy" sound/quality. The SDP 700 just doesn't do that. With the Base, Middle, & Treble controls the refinement of my tone is right there without having to adjust my pedal board or Helix. Turn up until the sound man says stop, then EQ for the cab/stage...done!

Despite how it looks, this is not a 1U unit. It's more like 1.3U, so you'll need an extra rack space and then you'll have a non-standard-size gap you'll need to fill. Bizarre design decision on Seymour Duncan's part, I'm super disappointed that I can't use this in a 4U rack with my Kemper (or Axe-FX3, or Helix Rack). Maybe a V2 design will not have this flaw.
