Dear Manufacturers, Regarding Pedal Feet...

[space6oy]

please don't put 'em on. we can if we wanna use 'em. they're a pain in the ass to get off.
love, a velcroer

[bugzaney]

ripped some feet off earlier this evening.

[Holy Schnikes]

Yeah, do like Malekko and throw a sheet of 4 feet in with every pedal to be used at buyer's discretion.

I found a pedal foot on my shorts today. I have no idea where it came from.

thats what i do too!

[rfurtkamp]

Yea, I've bought multiple pedals where there were feet included to add at my discretion. It's like the pad on MXR pedals. Thanks for letting me choose and stuffs.

Fender, I'm looking at you on the Blender RI (and the damn thing's screw on the bottom that sticks out 1/4").

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE REALLY CUTE CLEAR FEET
FOR TONE
HOW ELSE IS MY PEACH FUZZ GONNA SOUND RIGHT

[rfurtkamp]

Transparent feet <> transparent OD.

Never even thought about putting feet on my stuff, was even thinking about velcro-ing everything before it went out since almost everyone has a board these days.

[intothegroove]

They are useful sometimes but yea I like pedals without and you can add after anyways

It wound up being a dingleberry.

man, dem fuckin' feet....

many years ago i put them on all the time. Just seemed like a nice finishing touch, and you could just rip them off if ya want. As an added bonus, after a pedal is built it gets kicked around the shop for testing and packing and general dickery. so having feet on it keeps it safe until it gets in yer hands.

Then a thread or two popped up like this and i thought, yeah... you're right, they are kind of annoying, i'll just put a little pack of them in the box and you do whatcha want. everyone's happy.

THEN... a dude bought a pedal, didn't see the feet floating around in the box, and put the pedal right on a hardwood floor. OF COURSE it was all hand painted and shit. he complained that it was all scratched on the bottom, and 'wasn't sure if he did it or it came like that.'

so, you get feet. maybe i'll just tape them to the volume knob so you have to see them and decide, feet or no feet?

shouldn't do that either. i've received plenty of peds w/ velcro already on 'em that i've torn off. only like 1 outta 10 of my pedz is gonna be on my board.

Lol. That sucks but kinda funny.

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?
