Then why do you spell and pronounce everything so wrong?

If this is a "the language originated with them" joke, ok.

If this is questioning my grammar, I was willing to let Muphry's Law take effect.

I think one heavy footed stomp when you're switching effects and it gets knocked loose. Depending on your rig, that could either blow the song or the whole set while you set back up. Get colored Velcro or led strips to make it cool.

The Lego bass is pretty cool.

Plus, there's the pain factor. Stepping on a Lego barefoot in the dark is only slightly less painful than passing stones. You'll undoubtedly have higher chances odd doing this with a Lego project in the works.

Extra points if you build the entire pedal board out of Legos. I would suggest gluing them together. I don't see why it wouldn't be strong enough. The only joint I have a difficult time envisioning is the one between pedal and Lego. I think your best bet is to get one with a smooth back so you could double sided tape it on. For that I would guess using super glue and masking tape would be worth a try. Though if I was going this route, I would use some strong glue directly to the pedal and assume I could chip it off later.

its not a bad idea really. there are lego tiles without pegs on top. just smooth flat with the receptacles on bottom. that could be glued or 3m vhb taped to the bottom of the pedal. then you get whole sheets of flat lego with just pegs on top (used as ‘the ground’ for large lego installations) and glue that to a piece of wood for the base. not cheap or practical, but it would be cool and basically functional. it would also open the door for pedal makers to incorporate lego receptacles on the bottom plates of their pedals. aluminum legos. mmmm

A few points:
* Lego and feet are generally not a good combination.
* ...but, you could have a castle on your pedal board!!!
* Lego is a proper noun - the plural of Lego is Lego, like vinyl not vinyls

* I'm British and we're finnicky about language

Right, and I have several Fender.

Right, and I have several Fender.

You have several Fender instruments.

I love the UK, everyone talks like "Bond, James Bond" it's great.

You have several Fender instruments.

You're assuming the nature of his Fenders. He could have instruments, amps, cabs, picks, car stereos, pedals, etc. Kind of discriminatory.

Only thing I've ever done by stepping on Legos is burst out in vulgarities at all hours of the night because my kids always left them laying around. Nothing hurts quite like stepping on a Lego.

. Don't know, but I know I've broken Legos by stepping on them.

Ever stepped on one barefooted? I'm pretty sure that's what the first step into hell would feel like.

Legosare plastic. Plastic breaks.

I've never seen a broken lego.

Legosare plastic. Plastic breaks.

You have obviously never stepped on one in your socks at night- they are indestructible!!

I'm more of a fan of Coles Law.

You don't need to use lego blocks. Instead, the various plates which are available would work instead. Rather thin and flat. They'd work quite well.

...but why?

Adhesive back velcro strips from any hardware store does the same job (only better) and is certainly cheaper than buying Lego bricks / plates / accessories.

That video had me scratching my head...this looks like a time-consuming origami nightmare.
