The Intellijel case seems practical to get the cables out of the way in a stage set up. A lot of people feel weird about having 1/8" to 1/4" out of their systems since those cables are sort of ‘specialty cables’. If you’re touring and one stops working, you’re usually out of luck, whereas most venues would have a 1/4" cable laying around (or at least you could get one much more easily).

i patch in stereo as much as possible, so a quadratt and the 1u headphone out with a 1/4” TRS is my “output module.” i put the 1u row in the middle of my case to make patching a lot less messy; i feel like having it at the top would be much less convenient.

love the 1U format, sorta meh on some of the current Intellijel 1U options, but I get that they’re mostly aiming for staple items that have basically universal appeal - that said, my 1U row will be full once I finish a lingering DIY project, so I guess I’m content enough! I’m using the Zeroscope, Quadratt, Headphone output, and have 10hp left over. I personally would like to see a LPG/VCA 1U module…I suppose that would be pretty easy to DIY, especially if passive.

also +1 to 1U row in between two 3U rows. I really like my ~square DIY 7U/60hp case as I can use <20" cables to make any patch, and I think having more of a square case encourages non-linear patching for me. I probably would have just bought a prebuilt 7U/84hp case if Intellijel had put the 1U row in the middle for the sake of easier portability.

I kinda like the Intellijel cases’ built in balanced output option to keep master outputs out of the way and on 1/4" cables, but don’t care for the MIDI ports since I likely would never use them.

where is this info coming from? first i’m hearing about this… nevermind, found it in the mixup manual. good to know!

I have a Grau 7U 64hp custom case and I love it. Very good build quality and competitive pricing, shallow and simple, closes patched naturally. Lots of customization options.

I made two of these 104hp cases in my apartment / balcony, all from scratch. I also fashioned a tidy detachable / adjustable leg system with threaded inserts. First time I ever used a router, and never glued tolex before either, but it all worked a charm and bill of materials was about half that of market value. A couple Row Power 40 and all good go :+1:

Here is the standard hardware, minus the tolex and plywood. Most of which from Penn Elcom. I got a few sizes of tilt adjustable feet to try out… I added some stainless sleeves to the feet “legs” to cover the threads. They also act as secure spacers when adjusting the leg height.

First I’ve heard about the mix-up connectivity, that might convince me to buy a second one! I have a 7u/104hp from Intellijel and I mostly like it. Patching up does bother me sometimes, especially since my top row is almost always modules with knobs up top/jacks on the bottom… but if the 1u row were in the center it would be significantly harder to tweak the quadratt. Gotta lose somewhere…

The main thing I dislike it that the case isn’t sealed. I’ve been walking outside with it and it started to rain… not a thing I wanna have to worry about in the few instances it may happen. If I upgrade to another case in the future I’d probably DIY with a 1u Intellijel format almost exclusively for 2-3x quadratt. Most used module by far :sunglasses:

I had my hopes up that these cases would be Pulp Logic compatible…they do look lovely though, and competitively priced.

#422

The extra Intellijel gig bag is worth getting. It’s a bit expensive but is convenient and protects the case from things like that (and has a huge pocket for TT keyboard, cables, etc.)…

They can do that! I just specified I want mine with an Intellijel sized middle row. Just hit them up with an email and they’ll help you.

I’m curious about this as well.
I just sent an inquiry regarding a custom build and mentioned that it would be shipping to North America. If I learn anything I will let you know.

I did email them a while back, about a specific case…one of the 4u ones I think. I asked whether it was for PL, the reply was no, its Intellijel.

Maybe I should have been more specific, or asked about custom builds? Although I would have thought that would have been mentioned.

Anyway, I’ve decided to settle for my current setup for now, and (try to) forget about bigger cases/more modules for a few months at least…

I ended up ordering a custom 10u portable from Grau. They were incredibly responsive to my endless stream of grueling questions and quoted me a very reasonable price.

Shipping to US came in under 50 euros for an unpowered case.

Let’s have a look at the case?

#428

Only ordered it yesterday, but I’ll post it once it is delivered.
Just wanted to share my positive experience and the reasonable international shipping for those considering!

The weak link in all of these cases is the power - what are your plans? I seem to recall you were looking at unpowered cases…

#430

Did you specify Intellijel or Pulp Logic for the 1u?

#431

For power: I very recently purchased Trogotronic’s M15 (12u) and have been happy with it. It’s the only reason I went unpowered.

As far as 1u format: I specified Intellijel. They seemed flexible to cater to my requested specs, though I don’t know if the rails they use would prevent building a PL case. It’s worth asking (they got back to me rather quickly).
