I am trying to secure my Duo to a physical pedalboard…
How are other people doing it?
I want to be able to easily remove it for when I want to take just the Duo for times that I don’t need the other pedals. Also, I’d like to keep the rubber feet since I may be playing on a hardwood floor.
Here is a pic of my setup. Still needs to be wired up.
i use industrial-strength velcro for mounting all kinds of gear! although i haven’t yet mounted the MOD, that’s going to be my plan.
in order to keep the rubber feet, i’m thinking of installing a slightly raised surface which sits inside the dimensions of the rubber feet, with one half of the velcro on it. probably 1/8" plywood would be thick enough, given the thickness of the velcro itself, but i’d have to do some testing… and the velcro on the underside of the MOD shouldn’t be an issue for other usage, because the rubber feet would keep it off the surface the MOD is resting on.
I use the links of bicycle chains. Here’s a very old pic of my pedalcase, you can see the links clearly underneath my Mostortions. Not very portable though
I got some Scotch/3M Fasteners… about $15 for 4ft at Lowe’s Hardware Store. I also saw it at Home Depot. (picture below) I think it’s exactly the same as what they are using on the video. I put two small pieces back to back, like he does on the video, and tested on the green pedal (Fender Runaway) and it worked perfectly! The legs on it are about the same (maybe a little taller) as the legs on the Duo. I will try it on the Duo when I get home tonight.
This stuff really holds onto the soft Velcro so just a small amount is all you need.
Thanks
Here I can´t find this specific box but only people selling linear meters of a narrower one.
So you will use it combined with a normal velcro soft side?
Yeah. I have the soft side of Velcro stuck on my pedalboard. This will stick to it.
I used to do the same trick with regular Velcro where I made a square with soft side on one side and harder side on the other. But it never really reached very far… This is just thicker and fills in that gap if the pedal has feet on it…
This stuff is strong… so I recommend very small pieces… you can always add more…
The video also talks about some tips and tricks.
This technique worked great for the Duo. I put three 1"x1" pieces all together. Two just inside the top two feet and one on the bottom center. I can lift my whole pedalboard from my duo…
I haven’t tried to pull it off yet because I want the adhesive to have plenty of time to stick.
