Description:
Gator’s vintage amp-style wooden rack case provides users with a combination of reliable protection and the classic appearance of 50’s & 60’s era amplifiers. Load in your favorite modeling amp, effects processor or recording EQUIPMENT with up to 2U of rack space and 12.5” of rack able depth. The GR-RETRORACK-2SG is wrapped with Seafoam Green Tolex and features a kickstand underneath to angle the rack up towards users to prevent unnecessary bending down for access to and visibility of controls.

The rack includes spring-loaded side handles allow for easy lifting and loading and metal corners for stability. Rubber feet on the bottom provide enough clearance for the enclosure to sit comfortably on Guitar amps & Cabinets, desks and other surfaces. The retro rack series BY Gator helps match your modern rackmount components to the boutique pedals and peripheral effects in your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat more expensive than it should be, but a great looking case nevertheless!

The handles on the sides and and the pop-up leg on the bottom are really good quality and well made. The handle on the top looks a little bit cheap, but no matter, it does what it's supposed to and it works well.Interesting that you can pop the cover on there once it's all mounted, and it really looks like an old vintage combo amp. That's more an esthetic thing than anything else, as the cover has zero functionality.Does the job perfectly, and is solid and robust. I have my AXE FX and a Furman power cleaner mounted in there and it works perfectly. The big plus as well is that the racks are tapped, and all you need to do is just screw in the components you want to install. No stupid clips to fit in holes and things like that. It took me all of 2 minutes to throw the two pieces of equipment in there, tighten it up and call it a day.
5.0 out of 5 stars Well Built
The Gator cases are well built and look great. I am using them for my Rockman racks. Everything mounted properly with the included hardware.
1.0 out of 5 stars Bad product/worst seller.
Not recommended. Bad quality, the cover inflates too much for the 4u. Both two and only got the 4u. The 2u I purchase never arrive and later found out it was cancel my Bolo. Honestly just go to guitar center or somewhere else.
2.0 out of 5 stars Just what the Doctor Ordered! 👍🏻 … Before it wasn’t! 🫤
UPDATE:Gave it a try and it just wasn’t a good fit for my use and the door became more of a hinderance. Gave the whole thing away and bought something better suited for my needs.——So, originally I was being cheap and bought this …https://a.co/d/a53UKZmWas a mistake. Very industrial looking, a pain to build, and the door was crooked and hard to lock.So, it was a dumb buy for a home audio studio which lead me to this Gator purchase. Just received it today. Much, much better look and fit. I won’t be moving it, so no issue with not having a back cover.Build quality is very nice. The metal corners , handles, and kick stand are a great add. The front cover gives it a nice guitar amp look from years ago.The only small complaint is more on Bolo. They packaged it in an Bolo box with a couple of inches space around it and zero bubble wrap or styrofoam protection. It doesn’t appear to have any major damage but does have a small indent the size of a fingertip on top. No damage to the leatherette, but slightly noticeable. I can live with it, though wish Bolo would have packaged better.I have not install my gear yet, but am thrilled there’s no dumb hex screws, just regular philips head. Also not having to build it was great too.I would recommend it though I think it should be about $50 cheaper.
4.0 out of 5 stars Overall decent, really wish it had a rear rail rack on it though, and more tweed panels.
I own a GT Soul-O 75 1x12 combo amplifier, which while completely awesome sounding, weighs like 65 lbs due to all the iron and the huge magnet, so needed to be split up. The chassis was modular and looked like it was already made with a rack install in mind, so when i found this gator enclosure it looked like i was in business.I thought the original amp was 3U deep (with a 1U face plate) and i had another 1U in the original cab for a power conditioner, but in the end it turned out the amp was more like 3.5U - it just BARELY fit in the enclosure and did not leave enough space for my power conditioner. Oh well - not a huge loss there, just need to find somewhere else for that.The finished product looks pretty clean - what you're not seeing in the pics is that i had to cannibalize the original rails from the Soul-O cabinet to mount the fan on the back of the unit because there was nothing there. This is kind of an unusual problem, rear rails aren't needed that often, and if you do, it's not too hard to install although you do need to get them yourself, and make sure you don't use screws that are too long. Another problem i had is the included tweed panel units to cover the unfilled rack spaces are not really big enough to completely fill the space. I have a 1U face plate, and you would think that 3U of panels would do the trick but there appears to be a gap above and below the panel on the bottom - i think this is because i don't really have my head mounted exactly on the 2U space - it's more like half on 1U and half on 2U, due to the size of the amp itself. that's fine i guess, it allows for more airflow, but the perfectionist in me is bothered by it. I guess i wish there were more panels available to buy that matched this unit, ideally in a 2.5U sizeOverall a good enclosure for the money. Handsome, and looks solid, If it came with a .5 panel spacer and rear rack rails preinstalled it would have been perfect.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great cabs for my rack mounted gear matching my existing cabinets.
Perfect match for my rack mounted amps and preamps. Room for power conditioner and distribution, Carvin power amp and Line6 preamp and effects.

Sturdily constructed, delivered quickly

Solidly built, but disappointing finishing
As a rack, it meets its goals. It's solidly built, supplied screws and washers are fine, and there are no issues with the construction, and from a distance, it looks good. However, for the price, I would have expected a much better finishing. The fabric covering is peeling way from the inside and is uneven, and it appears slightly stained on the outside - as if the glue has leached through the fabric. Overall because it meets the primary goal of protecting the audio equipment its fine, but I would not buy this again and choose a cheaper, less pretty option.
Perfect for my vintage Marshall Preamp and Samson 200 Watt power amp.
My Marshall 9000 preamp and Samson power amp make up a great combo for electric guitar that now not only looks good in this Gator case but are also well protected. I went more for stylish, vintage looks than heavy duty 'on the road' type cases of which there are plenty and I am not disappointed. Nicely finished and ticks all my boxes.
Ich bin wunschlos zufrieden mit dem Case.
Das Rack-Case im vintage Style ist das was ich gesucht habe. Gut verarbeitet zu einem wären Preis. Wenn man es selber bauen würde müsste man mehr für die summe der Einzelteile und Arbeitsstunden zahlen. Dass es in China gebaut wird mindert weder Qualität noch Wert. Es ist genau so wie auf den Fotos beworben. Ich bin wunschlos zufrieden mit dem Case.
Grosse déception
Sur les photos très beau rack. Mais une fois déballé grosse deception : tolex percé par des vis, peinture éraflée... Et une ergonomie qui laisse à désirer (les contrôles en bas et en haut du rack sont difficilement accessibles). Bref un produit avec une qualité made in china à un prix premium.
