What's everyone using for pedal hook/loop?

I use 3m Industrial Velcro with adhesive.
Works a treat.

 

I use the same for:
- Pedal and pedalboard
- Laptop to stand
- Keyboard to rack

Works perfectly and stick in almost any circumstances.

 

I just switched to low profile Dual Lock. It seems great so far. Rock solid.

 

Heavy duty or industrial type Velcro never failed. They stick like forever and doesn't leave any messy glue residue once removed. There are many low quality lookalikes who knows made in where so just make sure you buy the original stuff.

 

You're making a good decision. I had a specific reason for the Dual Lock, a tuner on the edge of a very tight pedalboard that was wobbling when I plugged and unplugged. I removed the heavy duty Velcro first and it peeled off of everything leaving no residue.

 

This. A 2"x15' roll is enough for multiple pedalboards, and the pedals hold just fine. The adhesive doesn't stick that well to rubber (like Boss pedal bases), but works like a charm on the underlying paint/powdercoat. https://www.amazon.com/VELCRO-Brand-Industrial-Fasteners-Professional/dp/B00006RSP1. Bonus, if you use the hook side on the pedal, they'll also stick to rat furred equipment, so if you only have a couple of always-on effects, you can stick 'em to the top of the amp and forego the pedalboard.

"That Pedal Show" hosts Dan and Mick prefer an updated version, 3M Dual Lock: https://www.amazon.com/3M-Dual-Lock-Reclosable-Fastener/dp/B007OXK1AK/. It's self-mating (both sides are the same material), and holds even stronger than Velcro. However, it's significantly more expensive, especially if you're going for "full coverage" of the pedalboard rails and the pedal bottoms.

 

And another "Same" for Velcro or other brand. Get a twin roll of hook/loop with super blast proof adhesive. You'll end up using it for other things too.

I use the Godlyke Power Grip - dual lock stuff. Sturdier than any velcro I’ve ever tried - you put down strips on the board, and relatively small patches on the pedals. If you make the area on the pedals too big , it’s REALLY hard to remove a pedal.

 

3M Command strips are excellent if you are working with a smooth surface like a flat piece of wood or plastic. They leave no residue, and you can reattach them as securely as if they were new. I have a very small Boss board that is plastic and Gator board with a wood surface. Works great.

 

Dual lock is what you want... 4 3"x1" pieces are currently holding my Helix floor on the board and when I've wanted to take it off I've needed a tool to get the Velcro to separate... It's the stuff you want when you don't want to have to reposition everything just because you loaded the board in the car upside down and took that one backroad with all the potholes and that unpaved section.

 

Whatever the stuff is that comes with the pedaltrain boards I have. It works very well for my needs, but I should point out my needs are pretty low-impact on my gear at this point in my playing career.

 

I don't really use pedals - usually just go with whatever I can get direct into the amp, sometimes I use guitar pedals in a over dub session.

But I just set up a pedaltrain nano with an amazon power supply for the guitar player - and it works great, it actually has me considering investing in a pedal chain for my bass rig but I haven't really started looking into it yet.

 

Use liquid nails it’s better then Velcro!
