Anyone have any recommendations for an Anvil-style road case for the Minibrute?

Hi Ollie
It's Jason (from Kether) :) I'm using a metal ATA foam padded briefcase for mine.. i haven't tried but i'm pretty sure it'd pass customs, and its at least as well padded as any other synth case i have.
Here's one from the UK if you dont mind shipping and VAT.. ;-)

I hope it helps, and nice to "see" you.

I have one of those that I bought from Menards and its not quite wide enough. I'll have to check your link closely and report back.

I made my own with an equipment case from a surplus store and styrofoam and foam rubber. I will post pix when I can.

This fits very well.

Here's the road case I made. I bought the case and foam from Axman Surplus in St. Paul, Minnesota. I built up under and around the foam with styrofoam and hot-glued it all in place. I left room for cords, effects, headphones, etc on the side. The Minibrute is a tight fit, but it's not going anywhere. Total cost was less than $25 and about 4 hours of my time (spread out over the course of a week).

Nice job with the case!

I made use of an old plastic suitcase:

Perfect and not expansive

I just bought the Gator G-Mix-B 1515 Mixerbag, and it fit's like a glove! Has extra compartments and it's cheap too.

Could you by chance upload a picture showing the fit? It would be much appreciated.

the foam is pre-cut, easy to do

Looks reasonable. Thanks for the tip.
Hate to ask more, but do you per chance also have a picture with the unit in place?

Looks spot on. That settles it, I need to get 1 of those.
Thank you kindly for the tip and pitures, it is highly appreciated :-)
