Here's how I converted my Clarus/Razor's
Edge rig from a modular setup that took several minutes to set up/tear down into
a plug and play rig. No more digging around in bags looking for
cables!
The cab's handle has been moved from the top to the side.
I used mountaineer-quality rope to cinch the amp and H&K Tube Factor firmly to the cabinet. Nothing budges.
The power strip is secured to the cabinet by two small screws. Wall warts are secured to the power strip with Velcro. A small handle has been added to the back of the cabinet to facilitate shifting the amp around on the stand. The wires are taped together but would probably be neater with a couple of additional Velcro fasteners.
I now carry the rig in the front seat of the car, but it would probably be fine face down in the trunk. I can now set up as quickly as any amp user, and all my equipment, stands, etc., can still be carried into the gig in one trip.
What's that extra do-hickey on the back of the cab? I purchased an RE speaker cabinet with an aftermarket modification consisting of a switch allowing the cab to show 4 ohms or 16 ohms (useful when running as an extension cabinet for old tube amps.)
