So yeah, those two modules will get you an exact fit within that case.

My concern would mostly center around how you are going to get line level audio up to euro level, and then euro audio back down to line level audio. You can definitely do this externally, but I just don't know if you've got the gear to do that or not.

Was thinking about intellijel Audio I/O, which means I would need a bigger case with an additional 10HP and the depth of 44mm. So would that be a 52HP cases with the depth of 44mm?

Here's probably what I would do... get an Intellijel pallet case, and squeeze out whatever you can with the space

It gets you multi which are handy... option for midi in if you wanted it... and 1u row with 34hp left and 3u row with 20hp left. Honestly, you can do quite a bit with that space.

Thank you ! Very nice!! You keep trying to push more audio crack on me. Do you have a no growth solutions? :smoker: What about something like the Rack Brute 3U.

Have to keep at three max, but you keep stacking on the audio crack. :lol: No sir, I will not buy your crack. So a Mimeophon, Panharmonium, intellijel Audio I/O and Rack Brute 3U rack. What do you think?

or manufactures fared exceptionally well, or factories had to close/cease production

He would be the first one to actually keep his promise when it comes to euro and "limits" ;).
It's like saying, just 1 beer! It never ends at 1 beer!

Ooh yeah, that's why I put a limit on three pieces and a cases that does not motivate growth. :lol:


Well, I'd love to hear from you in. let's say. 6 months. It's so much fun though! good move! I ended up spending around 50k on modules before I sold it all xD.

I've played around with euro gear, but never really got into it. When it come to this stuff, I'm at the beginning stage. I went through the racks of gear phase with compressors, EQ's, Pre Amps, and patch bays. So I've built of my resistance to collecting gear.

As an Euro Rack beginner, I want a very streamlined setup with just the essentials. I don't need drums, samplers, or sequencers. I want it make it easy to manually recall patches and settings. However with the lack of supply it looks like I'm going to have to wait. I want to buy all the pieces at once.

I'm only 10 minutes from Perfect Circuit so when they come in, I'll go pick them all up.

Gear is not the same as euro xD. It's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more addictive. I will stop now since it's getting annoying but just watch yourself since I NEVER met anyone not getting addicted and buying way more than what was planned initially. It's not a question if you will expand, the question is WHEN.

Oh well, and to stimulate your G.A.S. on https://www.modulargrid.net/ you can see if things fit.
