May I ask what made you switch from the Pico case to the pod?

There were a couple of reasons it made sense for me personally. First, the extra 6 HP allowed me to get the micro grids in there which I wanted to do.

But, the main reason I did it was the daisy chained power supplies. Currently, I have the Pod and another skiff (using the intellijel TPS 30) running off the same brick. In the future I might bring smaller pods in and out, similar to what JohnLRice is doing.

That said, the pico case is great for what it is. It takes a bit of creative planning though, because it's quite shallow in some areas. Over all, the pod 48x is deeper, but you have to deal with fewer power headers.

Thanks for the insight. The shared power plug is definitely cool, hadn't even thought of that.

Hi,
Anyone knows if the Synthesis Technology E560 is fit in 32 pod ?

Thanks

From the specs, it has a depth of 32 mm

Yes that's true but I'm not sure if it is including the power cable this why I ask if someone have tried it

I haven't tried putting it in one of my Pods but I just measured my E560 and it should fit if you use a power cable that doesn't have the strain relief part to it, measures in at needing 30.40 mm. With strain relief it needs about 34.75 mm so that wont work.

Glad I swapped the 26hp for the 32hp and gave it another go. This setup is going to improve my workflow exponentially. Just need a waterproof low profile case to go with it.

A case for your case?

Pod + tendrils

The Gator G-MIXERBAG-0608 works pretty well for a Pod32!

Just $25 at most stores.

Nifty little cases John... any specific model you recommend for the pod 60?

I don't have a Pod60 but somewhere back in this thread the folks at 4ms showed a Gator bag that nicely holds two Pod60s.

Merci, that's what I was thinking of!!!

I've also been meaning to ping you as I'm also based in T-town.

Also, the modern (black PCB) version of the VCAM does fit in the shallower Pods (20, 26, 32, or 60hp), but the older (green PCB) version does not.

Thanks!

40X looking good for my Euro Blippoo:

Ah, guess I'll have to get two

Here is the bag for the Pod60: G-MIXERBAG-1306

Waiting for a 48x to arrive on Monday. Really excited about this one, strangely enough!

I see that Schneider's has them on stock now, hopefully my 48X will be here early next week

I read before some says it is not possible to fit epoch modular to the 4ms pods..

hermbot · Post by **hermbot** » Fri Apr 12, 2019 6:44 am

They fit nicely in the deeper 40X, not the regular Pod. I picked up the X specifically because these modules wouldn’t fit in the shallower pod.

Why do i love everyone's pods so much? They're just too cool. It's like we had to deal with too much extra crap and wood for so long (enough with the wood sides gize, there aren't enough trees anyway). I guess this is why it's $200 for a piece of tin and 4 power connectors, cause they're too damn sexy ..

hermbot · Post by **hermbot** » Fri Apr 12, 2019 10:37 am

They are indeed a nice product. I was impressed that they included A) little rubber feet for the bottom and B) enough M3 screws to start mounting your modules.

Contrast that with the HEK I got that didn't even come with screws to hold the actual kit together.

Pods come with a nice manual, some extra literature... very good stuff, I'm impressed.

(All I need now is the Chronoblob MK1 for the pod and I'll be a happy camper...)
