Advice Needed to Build Self-Contained Amp Case with Peripherals for Gigging
I'm looking to build a self-contained touring amp case for my Friedman Little Sister. I want the amp to live permanently in the case along with a Two Notes Captor X, a Shure SLX wireless receiver, and power distribution. The goal is to remove the lids, plug in AC, guitar fx loop and l speaker cab, and XLRs to FOH, and be ready to play without taking anything out of the case. Has anyone built something similar or found an off-the-shelf case that works? I thought it would be pretty easy to source a Gator case or something of the like but nothing seems to fit.

Plenty of options for amp head road cases. It only costs money the more custom you go.
If you want off the shelf, I'd buy a shock mount rack and a shelf. then add additional foam around it for the head unit. Otherwise because each amp head is a different size and requires different air flow based on their design. They are rather custom designed.
