Sign in to disble this ad
so i finally got around to velcro-ing my pedals down tonight, kind of...
is htere a special trick to make the velcro stick to the pedal? It seems to not really want to stay on the bottom of them, except on the silver sticker. It sticks to the silver sticker alright, enough to pull the sticker off.
searches have yielded nothing...am i jusdt stupid enough to not figure out how to make a pedal stick? It doesn't make sense that the silver sticker comes off...on 2 of them...the other one doesn't have a sticker on the bottom to come off, so yea...
any ideas? |

Then stick the velcro to the tape. I've done this in the past to DOD, Digitech, and Boss pedals that have the rubber bottoms. When you're done just loosen the base, cut the tape and remove the whole thing. |

Then I stick the velcro on the top and bottom of the underside of the pedal (avoiding putting it on the silver sticker). I've never had any issue with the velcro coming off,...or the pedal not staying put. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
