I've spent the last day or two reworking my rig. My old rack had eight spaces in it, three for my Ampeg head, one for the Furman, one for the tuner, one to the Lexi effects unit and a space for heat ventilation. After I picked up the JamMan, I've held off from doing anything with it due to the lack of space in my rig.
To fix the situation, I ordered an Anvil. Now it's come in -- all twelve spaces of it. And I seriously underestimated how much bigger this new case would be. I can very literally fit the old case inside of the new rig and have quite a bit of room left over.
I'm glad I got the new case, and I think it will very nicely do the job, but I also think it's going to introduce some new problems. Now, I need more real estate on stage (unless I can figure out how much weight the Anvil can support, but I'm sure that isn't going to be my full stack). I already was full to the brim in my old car as it is; I guess I either need to get a bigger car or a trailer for hauling.
-- Update --
I talked with Lee at Cases 2 Go about the weight that the case can bear. He gave me an approximate amount (~80 pounds or so), which should be more than enough for a 4x10. I think we're in business.
-- Update 2 --
I may have spoken too soon. When I loaded it into my car, I learned two things. One, even with wheels, the rig is really heavy. Once I get it in my car, I don't have room for any of my cabinets. I'm going to have to load the rig into my car without front or the back (which would defeat the purpose of have a protective rack in the first place), pick up a 2x10 cabinet, or buy a bigger car.
