Why, pedaltrain?

[edr]

Bought a brand new Pedaltrain Nano, went to put on the Velcro it came with, and…

Why?

rationally, I shouldn’t be this upset. BUT WHY???

the flat portion is about 1 7/8” wide, loop fastener is 1 15/16”, maybe more. Tried putting it on anyway, yep it hangs off the side so I removed it.
I have a roll of similar fastener in the garage, but it’s a full 2”.

I love everything else about this board and carrying case, but isn’t pedaltrain like, the gold standard of this type of thing? I’m really surprised by the oversight.

Don't sweat the small stuff....

You should be able to roll the ends over, your talking, what, 1/16" on each side?

You're right though, you shouldn't be this upset.

I’ll probably just go at it with some scissors even if it’s messy.

I’m good at freaking out over insignificant stuff, that’s nothing new though.

If that's going to push you over the edge, I sure hope you don't have any Boss pedals you plan to put velcro on!

Does Boss supply the Velcro?

I'd just let it hang over. That pedaltrain velcro is not that good anyway. The hook side on the pedals doesn’t stick to it that well. I always throw it in a box somewhere and use On-Stage hook and loop instead. It holds much better.

Everyone you work with is at least kinda dumb. Everyone you went to school with is at least kinda stoopit. Heck, even most relatives. Look to your right, look to your left. Why should that one small company be any different?

probably a good idea. My other board is on-stage and their Velcro was , and it’s the right width for the Nano. I’ll either cut my roll of generic stuff to size or order on-stage. Glad I’m not missing much.

They do not. They also do not supply a surface that you can put velcro on.

Heh

Wait till your first time using it on a hot day at an outdoor show and the velcro starts coming unglued from said pedaltrain...

 

[james condino]

So you also bought a pair of scissors that only work in one direction????

 

[sloppy_phil]

They do not. They also do not supply a surface that you can put velcro on.

I've always just turned the bottom plate inside-out, fixes the issue every time for me!

My Pedaltrain Pro came with a soft case that only fits the pedalboard, put any pedals on the back row and it absolutly will not zipper shut. I use the soft case for storing airbrush stencils now. It is a great sturdy board but...

 

[prndltech]

I usually apply it to the bottom of my pedals first, then cut out the same dimensions for the board side, stick it to the pedal, rip the tape off and then place the pedal on the board and BOOM! Its neat, with no extra Velcro sticking out from under the pedal and none on the board that ain’t hidden by a pedal.

There used to be a company called Stagetrix that had specially sized Velcro that would go around the edge and fit perfectly.

Don't sweat it.

Nobody will know.
Nobody will care.
Except you.

It's not worth being annoyed about.

I noticed this when I got my board, but now that it's covered with pedals it's never come up again.

It's better that than being a bit too skinny to cover the rails.

 

[edr]

seems I’ve expected way too much of this company. My eyes have been opened.

 

[naetog]

Expectations are the root of many a disappointment in life.

If that's the big complaint about it, I think you're doing okay!

 

[Real Soon]

Sounds like a bad production batch, honestly. I've gotten a Nano+, Classic², and Classic¹ over the years, and they all had width-appropriate strips. And I would certainly imagine the faulty variable is the Vélcro since the boards kinda can't have bad machining and stay together.

This seems over the top, but you could certainly contact Pedaltrain and show them your problem. I imagine a chagrinned representative would gladly get a better set sent to you!
