I've placed all my pedals onto a piece of wood that is just the right size. I've figured out that I have all the right cables to connect the pedals, and I've got a surge protector that powers the pedals' AC adapters. In the past, I've just duct-taped my pedals to the board, but I've heard good things about using adhesive velcro--putting down rows of 2" loop strips across the board so it covers the surface, and then attaching either 1" or 2" hook strips to the bottom of the pedal itself.
I ran this idea past my dad, who works in upholstery. He said the velcro idea was probably a better idea for the wear and tear of my pedals, but that the adhesive on the self-sticking velcro was pretty weak when he's dealt with it, so he suggested using industrial-strength staples to attach the velcro to the board itself. When I then asked him what we should use to attach the velcro to the pedals themselves, he was less sure.
My question: what is a good way to attach velcro to the bottom of a pedal (apart from adhesive velcro)? Does superglue bond to the bottom of a metal pedal (like the older Electro-Harmonix)? Or is there some other, better method?
Thanks in advance!
