Gator GR-2S

De case kan heel simpel uit elkaar gehaald worden en de vlindersloten sluiten erg goed. Na een paar weken intensief gebruik heeft een collega bandlid de case hard laten vallen van 2 meter hoog. De interface erin (toen gloednieuw) deed het nog en had helemaal geen schade. Impressive!

Minpuntjes: de rack rails lijken een tikkeltje scheef te zitten. Ik heb zelf maar 1 rack unit in de case, dus ik ben benieuwd of 2 rack units wel passen. Het handvat is redelijk onprettig en snijdt bij lang tillen in de handen. Ik zou een volgende keer waarschijnlijk zoeken naar een case met een fijner handvat en met wieltjes. Wel van Gator, want hun apparatuur beschermt je apparatuur wel is mij gebleken.

I have had one of these for about 6 years now!

I currently use this for my AXEFX2 preamp and effects processor which it fits perfectly. I have use this to protect it whilst i carry it to gigs and whilst i was studying my degree in london i used to carry it on the train.

The case definitely offers great protection for whatever is inside. My friend also had one of these and recommended it to me as he uses his for his interfaces when he records drums.

The case is kind of heavy. Not too heavy but enough to add some weight. the handles become quite uncomfortable after more than 5 minutes holding them and I usually have to wear gloves when carry it because my hands get tired. More than once i have had a long walk to a gig from a train station with a Guitar in one hand and this case in the other and by the time i arrive my hands have gone to sleep and i can't play very well.

I would suggest getting a trolley of some kind to strap this onto. It will protect your equipment just fine whilst also saving your hands from exhaustion.

After a couple of years on of the latches on mine has become loose. I have no idea how to fix this and as a result the front panel randomly decides to pop off. I may have replace the case at some point but i don't gig enough to justify this at the moment (especially now that i drive most places).

It fits more standard rack gear and the actual quality of the plastic i cannot flaw. you can also attach padlocks to you hinges to stop anyone opening it but you will need 4 for the whole case. It's a good case! Just after years of using it i think it has gotten a bit worn out.

Pros:
Good quality
Sturdy
Offers great protection

Cons:
Handel Hurts
Loose clasps make the panels fall off

If you need something ASAP i would say get this but you may want to look at other options for a more reliable case
