Yesterday I was playing with Neutron and iPad (for effects)

This is only a basic patch on Neutron, Keystep and TB Reverb.

Needs a more modulation, but Neutron itself is capable to do a lot of things.

Maybe, like everyone, that I need is a Maths

And with that, @sinnerencia was enlightened.

I was looking at stackables and stars yesterday. Probably the simplest way to go, at least for passive mults.

The Synthrotek rails and brackets seem to be pretty well made. I opted for the end brackets because they give you the correct spacing rail to rail and I wonā€™t have to screw through the outside of the case. Iā€™m not planning any fancy joinery so it shouldnā€™t take too long to get it finished.

So basically you just have some optional sanding and staining and you are ready to go?

All glued up! Unfortunately Iā€™ve got to wait until tomorrow for it to dry before I can sand and finish it. Bummer.

Well itā€™s finished (except for the drying). Power supply is installed and I think it turned out pretty nice. Iā€™ll test it out tomorrow. The rails, end brackets, screws and washers came to $50.18 including shipping. The uZeus with 3000 mA brick was $128.84. I already had the finish and some of the wood. I think I spent about $16.00 for misc. materials. All up about $200.

Very close to the price of the TipTopā€™s Mantis.

I see the Mantis priced at $355. Of course itā€™s a much bigger case at 208 HP vs. 84 for mine. I looked at a Mantis but it was really just too big for my needs.

Tip Top Mantis is still an excellent deal, but the woodgrain of a home made case is just too cool.

Everything works great! Now for some Audulus/analog sounds.

Looking great! Looks like you allowed for some good depth on there too :+1:

Absolutely awesome setup!

Yeah, @robertsyrett suggested I make it deep enough to hold one of the older Doepfer modules. I had some 6" oak boards which are 5.5ā€™ wide so I decided to use the full width. Probably overkill but you never know.

Overkill is what you want. I made mine just barely big enough to hold the ES-8. Itā€™s super tight and actually doesnā€™t fit in all of the positions because I measured poorly. I have to be very aware of the depth of any new modules I buy or build now. A very wise suggestion indeed.
