I had Dan Rollans with Pak A Seat build me a custom seat to mount a Furman voltage regulator in . With just a few phone calls and a couple of pics this is how it turned out.As you can see it turned out very,very nice.I use a Session 2000 a lot and really needed the protection of the VR,it's more than just a power conditioner it maintains a constant voltage,so I wanted to cut down on carrying the extra rack mount and came up with this idea,and Dan did an excellent job on it .

That looks great Ron and definately good thinking when you're using digital equipment such as the Session 2000. Thos units are a little pricey, but well worth the expense when you consider what you're saving in the long run.
Dan did a great job (as always) with the mounting of that unit in the seat! |

Wow, Ronald, pretty cool idea! But that brings up the opposite question: heat. Is there sufficient venting in this special seat so the Furman doesn't fry?
I can see this being really useful in my current rig: steel/PodXT/Webb amp. Have a rack item without that dang rack. Brilliant! On mine, I might add a BBE unit as well, I hear they're amazing.

John, One of the first thing's that came to mind,and one of the first question's Dan asked was,how much heat does it put out and might that be a problem.I'll have to say that there has been no significant amount of heat in mounting it this way.In fact I really haven't noticed any heat at all and I leave it on for a 2 to 2 1/2 hrs at a time.I first thought of this idea almost a year ago and Dan was ready to build it.I put it off and finally decided to do it.I'm glad I did.The other really cool thing I thought about,If someone uses a Peavey product ,say a TransTubeFex,(which I also have and use with a NV 112)and a RC 2000(Remote controller mounted to the leg of your steel)which I also have, you could mount your TTFex in the seat.Do keep in mind that your adding more weight though.The Furman weighs 12 lbs.

Actually if you put some thought into the design, you could turn the whole seat into a rack !! with 2 or 3 units in it, and some appropriate ventilation -- as long as you left enough room in the top for a few small items such as strings etc it would be pretty good.
But where would you store all those other items we carry in our seats ha ?????
