I would get ahold of Fred Justice.
He can build you a stand up rack cabinet in any configuration your little ol' heart desires.  |

Drew, I've found that a rack takes up a lot more space than you might expect. I have a Tubefex, power amp and tuner in a 4 space rack. Usually this is used with a pair of 15" speaker cabs, so this is not a compact setup. It has some weight to it, so most of the time I use a small pedal board, homemade, with EQ, overdrive, delay and chorus pedals. Everything fits into a small aluminum case. it just weights a few lbs. So maybe you just need to weed out a few items from your current board, and reduce the size of the board.
It seems like something like the Pod XT with a mounting bracket on your steel would be the most compact way to go.

Hey Bill!
How's the new Carter?
I'm all for simplicity, like you, and I have two pedalboards, one bigger and one smaller.
However, frequently I find myself with 5-8 people onstage, so I'd like make my footprint a little smaller and also get the controls up to where I can see them.
I'm narrowing my gear search down to maybe a Lexicon Lexicon MPX 100 or 200, some sort of a Korg rack tuner, and maybe stick it all in one of Fred Justice's racks with the AC and line-outs.
Buying the Lexicon and the tuner used will save some bucks.
cheers,
Drew |

| Drew you should also consider the Peterson Stroborack tuner, it is far superior to the Korg variants for a rack! (I have both) --- and a Revelation Preamp |
