What do you use to mount pedals to your board?

So after wayyyyyyyyyyy too long, I've moved on from assembling my pedals on a piece of ply wood (every time I play a show
) to having a nice pedal board/case. However, the non-pedalboard side is very deep, and I need a way to hold the pedals in place when I'm carrying that sucker around. Before I velcro up the whole damn thing, does anyone have a way to mount pedals without applying said velcro? I'm going to look into a big thick piece of foam so the lid holds them in place, but I thought I'd see what everyone else does. It's got fabric inside, so velcro does work. I just want to try some other options first. Thanks dewds.

VELCRO!!! It's easy to remove and most people don't care if you re-sell with Cro... There is also Zip Ties, Bike Chain Pieces, Gum, Wishful Thinking and Magic...

Not really a mounting solution, but you could line the lid with some thick foam padding. That should put pressure on the pedals, and keep them from moving around when you're moving them.

Yeah, that was the basic plan. Plus, when I play shows, there will be room for cables and stuff, too.

You break the links, screw into the four corners with screws that are already there then MOUNT on to your pedal board....

This is exactly what my set up is. The foam I have is pretty stiff and keeps everything in there tight during transport.

nope. Velcro For LIFE. the super heavy duty stuff they sell at Home Depot. DO IT.
i think it was Sousie, but someone i lent a PolyGrace too said, "soooooo..... i had to use a SPATULA to get that thing off my board.".
gave me a happy.
plus, if you end up with micro BB sized pedals the tiny bit of velcro that you can fit on there works FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRS.
