Just trying so get my image size right, please ignore.....

[Zaphod B]

A little bigger...

[Zaphod B]

betcha this one's too big......

Don't worry about how big they are you can stick them up with velcro. They'll hold.

I wish velcro did actually work. I've tried four different brands and it always ends the same way, with my pedals rattling around and my spare power connectors shorting out on the pedal cases.

You are obviously doing it wrong.

I clean the bottoms of the pedals and then stick the velcro to them. Next time I put the pedal box upright, the velcro stays stuck to the case, the sticky layer stay on the pedals, and the sticky layer comes away from the velcro strip.

Nice rack of pedals, btw.

Yeah, I've heard that's pretty good stuff.

Velcro is what is holding all that stuff on.

Nah, the problem is getting a 10Mb pic down to the 70K limit that the board allows. Once I do that, I don't care how big it is.

I plan on replacing the chorus pedal with something like an Eventide Mod Factor. I'd also like a delay pedal that's a bit more versatile but I'll likely keep the DD3 on board as well.

Yeah but the adhesive attached the pedal to the velcro is rubbish!

Not the industrial-strength Velcro like I'm using here (per Mutt's recommendation). The adhesive on that stuff will not let go, I promise - it's very good.

PM me if you want a local supplier. You also might need to de-graese the bottom of the pedal depending on how dirty or new it is. Seriously the proper stuff sticks like shit to a blanket so much so you'll pull the paint if your not careful.

Mutt's right. I mis-placed a couple of inches of one of the strips I applied to the bottom of the board, and hadn't even pressed down on it very hard, and when I pulled it up it was taking wood with it.

I will do. It's not struggling to stick to the pedal, I'm left with a strip of adhesive attached to the pedal and a strip of velcro attached to the board. So it's struggling to stay stuck to the reverse of the velcro strip.

So are you saying that the backing is separating from the velcro? I've never had that happen, ever and I use tons of the stuff.

Yeah. I've got three different pedal cases and it's happened with them all, and I bought some 3M strip from Homebase and that did the same. Sticky residue on the pedal, velcro attached to the board. Lame!
