Title: Which brain holder/clamp for a 2Box module on a Roland MDS-12 rack?
Post by: Drumaster on May 16, 2012, 03:45:01 PM
Hi guys!

I recently bought a 2Box module and play it with all my Roland pads and rack (MDS-12BK).
But I'm wondering how to fix it on the rack in a non-expensive way, as official 2Box brain holder and clamp are very expensive (20€ for the 1st one and 35€ for the 2nd...).

Has someone ever used a cheap workaround to fix a 2Box module on a MDS-12BK? I'm seriously thinking about modifying my TD-20X plate (with some holes on it) to fit my 2Box module as I don't find any other solution...

Regards,

David

If you want to spare your TD20 holder , ALESIS is selling a cheaper modulemount than Roland ....  It s listed 9,90€ by Musicstore ....

You ll just have to drill new holes for the 2BOX module ....

Ok thanks for your replies guys. I think I'm gonna modify my TD-20 one, cheaper and I did not plan to sell it anyway (but the TD-20X module).

Thanks!

Ok guys, I finally made some holes in my Roland plate and it fits great BUT I thought the screws were the same but no! Roland's ones are a little bit (just a little bit) thinner so I have to find some others. Standard drum tight screws are too thin also, so what would you suggest as some screws for 2Box module guys?

Thanks!

EDIT: Ok I found a topic about that: http://www.2box-forum.com/index.php?topic=1314.0
