Title: Alternative for VB/VG99 plate mount
Post by: fokof on September 10, 2016, 12:02:13 PM
An alternative to the Roland part is that one from Alesis:

Exact same size as the Roland , plastic , but only 15$

The APC-33 clamp is basically identical to the the top portion of the PDS-10, with universal clamp

The Roland VDrum units share the same mounting bolt pattern as VG-99 / VB-99

I've got my VG-99 mounted to this one. 1U sliding rack shelf (http://cpc.farnell.com/penn-elcom/r1290-1u/1u-sliding-rack-tray/dp/EN55992)

Had to drill some holes, but my VG is safe and roadready.

That's the best method above and is superior to the official RAD-99 rack mount adapter

I'm still looking for a rad-99.  Only want it so it adds to the control panel effect so i can play starship. :-)

When i finally gig again, i think a padded hard case and a stand would work well for a guitarist that enjoys a chair while playing. I don't need to stand and play rock star like i used to.

My VG-99 is a part of my mobile recording rig. That's why I've mounted it in a 6 unit rack with my Motu 8M and a MacMini Server. My other devices are mounted in two 2 unit rack cases. One with an Art S8 2-way splitter and extra 4 channels of headphone amping and the other with a Motu 828 MKIII FireWire and an ADA8000. I also bring my Yamaha 01V96 which is mounted in a SKB popup-rack when the situation calls for some FOH/Monitor mixing. I then stack them in two piles on a K&M 18950 Keyboard table-stand capable of loads up to 175 lbs. The stand leaves the floor area very open to add my FC-300, GP-10, SY-300 and other floor related units without too many obstacles.

Altomusic is (or was?) taking orders for refurbished roland PDS-10 stands with the plate for $99.
