pedal velcro

Post by Pete »

What do you guys like that's stronger than the velcro that comes with pedaltrain boards? Ideally, it would be nice if it wouldn't make prying a pedal off a board impossible

I get industrial velcro on Ebay, sold by the foot.

It's hard to pry pedals up if you cover the entire pedal bottom with industrial velcro, and it's attached to a large piece of velcro below. Try not to have a giant piece of "hook" velcro completely attached to a giant piece of "loop" velcro.

Wait you want it stronger than velcro and not impossible to pry off? You sir ask too much. lol

I like Dual Lock but it's fucking impossible to pull off.

Got some dual lock to try out. :thumb: Does it work better to take off the soft velcro on a pedalboard altogether, when using this stuff? Seems like it's probably not meant to stick to velcro.

Dual Lock is ideal. You just use small 1" squares for larger pedals.

Industrial strength Velcro. Spent 20 min with a butter knife prying off my board, it was not going to give up easily.

Like other said, two strips should work, don’t cover the whole thing or else you’ll end up like me, sweating over a board.

Pliers are good for removing velcro, just peel off a corner, grip and (slowly) rip. I use generic velcro sheets from Clas Ohlson.
