Dear Manufacturers, Regarding Pedal Feet...

[Holy Schnikes]

Speaking of art on pedal backs, what do you guys think of that? I've been etching back plates for stuff I'm making for folks. I just don't know if that's a waste of time or not. It's a nice blank canvas but with Velcro goin on maybe it's a waste of time, eh?

I absolutely LOVE the etching you do on the back plates, such an awesome touch but I don't use velcro either. Seems like I'm alone here but I prefer the feet cuz I have Bedroom Boards, those boards with the shag carpet on 'em and I fucking hate velcro. The feet work nicely to seat it in that shag so the etching is never covered with velcro on my LaoWiz stuff.

I held off on putting a gorgeous Fuzzhugger on my board feeling bad about covering the art on it's base panel...

If direct, I'd just give the option of velcro or feet. Buyer applies it however they want. For retailers I'd include some in each box

It's up to you. Kind of seems like a lot of work that won't get seen much, but it's also like people putting art inside them I think it's cool and says something about the company/pedals.

I like art on the lids and inside the pedal. Usually with the lid art you can strategically apply velcro so it won't cover/mess it up, like the sharpie jank on some ohnoho stuff.

[space6oy]

heh. only inside art i know of is my poly-grace's wiener.

Check all of your Dirge there buddy

[space6oy]

guh i've never opened any of 'em up!

[space6oy]

wait, the rub-a-dub i did, but there wasn't anything inside that EHX housing...

I hate rubber feet too! Especially on fucking expression pedals! Just make the bottom flat, you bastards. What if I decide to put it on my board? Or Wahs are the same. I just hate the feet on pedal in general. I also hate dual lock. You bastards who use it, I also hate.

OH! OH! And don't get me started on the people who use parts of bicycle chain to secure their pedals to their board. Yea, that's practical. Your aiming for the stomp which, not the side of the pedal. Learn some coordination you fucking Neanderthal!

Yeah, I'm gonna start leaving feet off and just include them in little baggies.

I did have a dumb idea to the etch the inside of the back plate!

You're not alone.
Velcro suck.

PT-PRO is my first board ever to use velcro on and i'm digging it so far. previously used pegboard and strap locks, once upon a time actually used a foam lined gun case... hope i can dig up pics of that somewhere...

Used a rifle case to hold a larger board and multi-fx back in the day when pedalboard-sized flight cases weren't something you just ordered.

Stencilled 'front towards enemy' on it as well, oh the looks I got from the right peoples.

[space6oy]

hehe, nice.

[D-Rainger]

I don't get it.
Rip the feet off if you don't want them! What's the problem? I can't stand the pedal skidding around with no feet - I know some people (me) who would take ages to get round to sticking them on, even longer to sort out the velcro.

Course those wah feet with screws in them are something else....
