Sign in to disble this ad
ok, so i have a pedaltrain pro board, and some nice pedals. my question is i have some heavier pedals and some others that down work well with the velcro they supply.
i put the velcro down, applied to my pedals and laid them out. as soon as i move the board to rehersal they are in disaray. 
i know i can use zip ties but what else do you guys use? heavy duty velcro?? what??
help a bass player out!
thanks |

I got pissed off having to get a knife out to get the pedals off the board, so I'm loving the weaker stuff that came with my Pedaltrain Jr! |

It's used to hold a transponder, used as a means to pay tolls (rather than throwing $1.10 in nickels into a bucket). That stuff is stronger than the windshield. Seriously.
Evidently, little forests of frosted-white plastic mushrooms have the holding power of the Earth's gravitational pull.

Fer sher! I've been stripping pedals off of my old board for the past couple of weeks and on most of them I've had to use a small pry bar to get them loose. I love it. (You just have to be careful with the bar....)
